We have been vacationing for six years and of all the hotels we have been to on the road, we loved this one. It smells delicious. The guy at the check-in was super friendly, the room was beautiful, clean, the bathroom was impeccable, there were enough towels and the pool was incredible, in addition to the included breakfast that looks wow. I loved this hotel and I always suffer from my son's allergies and all hotels smell bad... not this one... the beds were super comfortable and everything was incredible. I loved it.and the incredible breakfast waffles, eggs, ham, cereal, fruit, yogurt, bread, cupcakes, coffee, juice, in short, super complete and delicious, really very, very happy with our stay.
This location was very clean with comfortable beds. The front desk attendant was kind and refreshingly helpful. The air conditioner was a bit noisy and struggled to keep up, but I slept very well (which is very unusual in a hotel).
The rooms and bathrooms are clean. It was quiet, got a good night's sleep. Good breakfast. I recommend this location.
After the change of both ownership & management, this hotel looks very clean and comfortable right now! Especially Mr. Babul (the general manager) does his best to meet your expectations. I am sure this hotel is on its way to become one of the Best Western hotels in the area…
My husband and I have been staying there for a few weeks now while our house is being built. The customer service there is amazing. Everyone there is so nice and accommodating.
Awesome place to say. Very friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this Hotel .
The staff is very friendly and helpful. We always wipe down our rooms with cleaning quotes before we start touching anything (door handles, light switches, counters, remote, toilet and floor). This room was exceptionally clean, even the floor. We like were able to get this room very cold for sleeping. We always enjoy the option of a hot breakfast. They are doing some remodeling but it was not obtrusive. Only drawback - there is no elevator if you are on the 2nd floor.
Jenny at the front desk was amazing! Super friendly, easy to talk to, and made check-in a breeze. She had the best attitude and really went out of her way to make sure everyone felt taken care of. Even when things got a little wild in the lobby, she stayed calm and professional the whole time. You can tell she’s great at what she does. Big shoutout to Jenny for making the stay even better!
Riverside residential area with tubing & swimming in adjoining Rio Vista Park, plus fast-food spots.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Texas. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
