Booked king bed on highest floor. Elevator got jammed going to 2nd and 3rd floor. Me and 2 other guests were stuck about one minute until we forced door open. The front door of my room was open when I walked up to it. Eerie feeling. Door would not shut at all. Plus room reeked of cigarette smoke. Front desk changed my room, moved me to the first floor with 2 queen beds. Walls are thin. You can hear people above walking and across the hall. Dogs barking in rooms. Hotel is near restaurants and freeway I10. Front desk was friendly. Not the best hotel but ok for one night if you avoid the elevator and double check your room door closes.

This appears to be a recently remodeled hotel.The property was very clean and the rooms were clean and fresh. The staff was very attentive to out needs (mobility impaired) and accommodating. The location was quite good too, easy off and back on the interstate, and plenty of parking for those staying at the hotel. The rates were very reasonable too. Overall we had a very good experience and would definitely stay there again.

I booked a king room with a sofa bed and they checked me into the wrong room after a long drive from Houston, Tx. My wife was upset with me the whole time because she didn’t want to have to deal with moving into another room with a sofa bed after we already moved into the incorrect room that was given. On top of that, the bathroom in this room is wheelchair accessible or handicap accessible.. The entire floor of the bathroom has standing water after you take a shower. It is unbearable and there is no way to push the water to the drain.. I mean the entire bathroom rug that was provided was soaked after the first shower in this room provided. I am so disappointed.
