Was okay for an older hotel. Price was fair. Excellent location, right off highway. Pool looked nice but didn’t use it. Exercise room wasn’t available - apparently storage now.

Got in late. It was a stopping point on my way to Dallas. The hotel was a great place to rest for a few hours before I hit the road again.

The luggage carts could probably be replaced. They're both in pretty rough shape & hard to manage. I had to call the front desk to get the t.v. in the room operational. The curtains & plastic hardware in my specific room need to be replaced. Other than that, the staff was very friendly and the room was very nice.

I have no idea how this place got good reviews. All night long there were weird dudes walking around in the parking lot. The room is outdated, and has a super weird smell. Almost nothing in the room works. One of the lamps didn’t work, the television doesn’t work, the Internet doesn’t work, and the refrigerator doesn’t even get cold. The sheets were scratchy, and the carpet seemed moist. Big no.
