Axel's take: 4.8/10
Convenient highway access cannot make up for recurring cleanliness and maintenance problems. A budget roadside motel off I-37, scored for what it is.
This is a budget roadside motel off I-37, not the dependable mid-range hotel its three-star listing might suggest. Free parking, breakfast and pet-friendly rooms are useful, and some recent Expedia guests praise comfortable beds and helpful staff. But Expedia’s 5.6/10 and Booking.com’s 4.8/10 reflect a weak overall picture. We'd generally skip it: even a basic overnight stop should deliver reliably clean rooms and working essentials.
Booking.com and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly describe dirty bedding, neglected bathrooms and broken equipment; pest complaints also recur. Service ranges from accommodating to unresponsive, while breakfast gets mixed reactions. A July 2026 guest on Engine reported renovation signs and drywall dust; completion is unconfirmed. The advertised outdoor pool has conflicting availability reports, so verify before booking. Expect a security deposit and pet fees. Families and anyone prioritizing cleanliness should look elsewhere.
-
Best for: drivers needing direct I-37 access; pet owners considering a basic overnight stop
-
Watch out for: recurring dirty-room and pest reports; broken equipment and inconsistent service; renovation reports and uncertain pool availability
-
Location: Convenient highway access; a car is needed for most sightseeing, and this is not beachfront.
-
Rooms: Some comfortable-bed praise, but worn bathrooms and malfunctioning TVs, refrigerators and phones recur.
-
Cleanliness: The main weakness: repeated reports of dirty linens, unclean bathrooms, odors and pests.
-
Service: Some staff earn praise, but recent guests also report unhelpful responses and check-in problems.
-
Amenities: Free breakfast, WiFi and parking; outdoor pool advertised, but availability and condition need checking.
-
Fees and surprises: Security deposit reported and pet fees apply; July 2026 renovation complaints have no confirmed completion date.
