Visiting family

It was ok. This hotel is right off the highway (near Crystal city) so it makes it easy to go Carrizo Springs and Eagle pass. If this hotel only wouldn’t have a musty smell in the room, I would give it “excellent” and too bad their swimming pools isn’t “working”. But over all, it’s close to some places
