10/10 Exceptional

I got stuck in Houston after my flight got canceled and wasn’t offered a hotel voucher. Got on Expedia found this hotel down the street and quickly booked it while it was a great price. Check in was easy and the room was nice. What sent it over the edge was the fact that they offered a free shuttle back to the airport the next day so I can fly out.

Very good value

Our stay was above average. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the room and bath as well as the very comfortable bed with super linen and an excellent comforter.

Danna, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is close to the airport. The hotel was easy to get to from Beaumont. The hotel was easy to check-in even thought it was 11pm when we got there. There was plenty of spaces to park and easy to get back into the hotel. The room was spacious and clean. It was a quick overnight stay but would stay there again.
Danyel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was nice and helpful. Breakfast was decent. My complaint is how much nicer the place looks in their pictures when it is really kind of run down.
Debra, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was fairly nice however the Bathroom door failed to latch the curtains didn't want to close or open and the commode flushed strangely. It was a nice stay overall.
Daniel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were friendly and helpful. Convenient location from the airport. The facility is a little bit aged. The breakfast I had was bare minimum. Not suitable for long-stay.

Close to the airport

Great stay, there was one tiny roach in our bathtub, otherwise it's very close to the airport which is what we wanted. We booked two room and got connecting rooms which was very good. Lobby was nice to sit and talk with our friend There are a bunch of bars and restaurants in walking distance. This and the two properties near feel like they are where people go when they missed thier flights.

The breakfast was good. The staff was friendly. There was restaraunt at a walking distance. The airport shuttle driver which was an older man, was so sweet & friendly. I let him know I didnt know my way around the airport and he made sure to explain to me where to go through to get to where I was going.
Erika, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pretty good

I had a layover of 1 night last week and this hotel ticked all the boxes. Although a little tired looking, the receptionist was very helpful and courteous and the room was comfortable. There is a restaurant and liquer store within a 5 minute walk down the street. A little noisy from planes but otherwise a good place for a day or so. Thanks
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Shuttle service was very good, very timely both trips. This property is close to the airport. Budget friendly restaurants within walking distance. Property was good for budget minded guests. The bathroom was clean, as well as room. Essential is a good word for this property. Basic furniture, nothing outstanding but it worked. The bedding was the plus, so comfortable. Pillows were ok. Property condition is 6.5, but room rate was very reasonable so I won’t be negative.
ROBERT, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a place for if your looking for something last minute and inexpensive to lay your head for the night and not to long. Not in the best of shape could be cleaned much better as far as carpet and furniture. But very convenient close to airport that also provide transportation but just not all day.

6/10 Good

Adequate hotel near airport.

We picked this airport hotel due to its low price and got basically what we paid for. Overall our room was adequate. The beds were comfy and things mostly clean but there was plaster hanging off the ceiling on top of the AC unit, the hallway carpets were old and AC did not cool as well as it should so it got a bit hot at times. Breakfast was ok but there was a power outage, not a fault of the hotel, which made the stay less than stellar. But if you just need a low cost place to stay the night before an early flight then this place will do.
Pedro, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice staff and clean hotel.

Pros- beds are very comfortable, breakfast is wonderful, staff is very friendly and nice. Cons- outside windows are dirty and need to be clean, I asked for a wake up call for 5:00 a.m. and they forgot to call and wake me up so I can go to the airport, there was a spill on the carpet next to the bed that should of been shampooed and the only work out equipment working was the treadmill. Overall, I would stay here again. They have a shuttle van for airport transportation and you are only 10 minutes away from the airport. Hotel is clean throughout other than the floor in my room.
Sonya, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

0/10

The sheets were dirty with makeup and hair. The pictures online are no way shape or form indicative of the condition of the hotel. Everything is falling apart and trashy. The bathtub was dirty and I woke up to a cockroach in my shoe. Also, the airport shuttle pick up was a nightmare. I was not able to get anybody on the phone to be picked up. The best part was the shuttle to the airport in the morning taking me away from this place.

I like the convenience it's near the airport the price is always right the only thing is it should be more places to eat it's only for that see you would have to have a car or lift or Uber to the other places for lunch or dinner.
