Cooper, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Easy off-highway access Location close to area attractions Clean Friendly staff Grab and go breakfast pretty lean
Charles, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Absolute worst experience I’ve ever had at a motel. The entire place was completely unsanitary. An overpowering smell of sewage made it impossible to stay in the room.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's very clean and nice and everyone was quiet and respectful. Staying here is buch better then other places
Taylor, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I come here often and it’s always clean and the managers are always nice
DeMarcus, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I was willing to give it a chance.

I was willing to give it a chance, but the toilet hadn’t been cleaned, hair on the floor, and the stench was so bad we left at 4:45 am. Location was great and workers were friendly but overall it mad me sad
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Property and room stunk like sewer so bad, we couldn’t stay in the room, slept in the truck. The most disgusting property I’ve ever stayed at. Smelled so bad it made us physically sick.
milissa, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Nightmare!

Arrived directly from the airport to check in and was told my reservation was canceled without notice. The front desk clerk was quite rude and not at all helpful in any way shape or form. Horrific experience! Would never recommend or stay there.
Mike, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a quiet place to stay. I’m sure it’s not always that way, but we have stayed there twice this far and it’s been a pleasant stay.
Lydia, 1-night trip

DeMarcus, 1-night trip

Victoria, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Easy to check in / easy on & off I35.
Maxey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Basic but clean.

Room was clean. Easy and fast check in. Great location and close to food and shopping. Refrigerator was nice and cold. Will stay again. Only 2 pillows for each bed. We did not ask if more were available.
Kymberley, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A roof over my head

Room was clean and comfortable, Motel is conveniently located next to the highway
Phillip, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Check in was quick, the staff was friendly. The room was okay, but mainly because the bad was comfortable and I was exhausted. Otherwise, regular maintenance is clearly not done. The toilet paper holder wouldn’t hold a roll. Towel rack was barely attached and the place hasn’t been painted in decades. It was moderately clean. You get what you pay for and $35 was about the right price.
Royce, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent location across from football and track stadiums. Our room showed some wear. Friendly staff
Dan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Game day room

Friendly staff. Clean room. Great location for Baylor and Football games.
Douglas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean room, good parking, bed was made, refrigerator was loose and rocking, coffee was poor quality, price was fair
Kent, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

It was an older establishment so you pay for what you get. The bathtub did not drain and the room was not properly stalked with toiletries.
Kimberly, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean
Amy, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Horrible place to stay

There was pee all over the bathroom floor
