I like the surroundings where it's located , close to Chick-fil-A, Hawaiian Bros, HEB, the San Marcos River. The rooms were clean, the staff were always available when we needed things. Thank you for letting us enjoy the quietness and peaceful area, I needed that when I worked overnights

I would recommend for the complimentary breakfast to have microwaveable bowls available for the oatmeal instead of only providing styrofoam bowls bc they melt in the microwave. How else could we make the oatmeal you provided without the correct bowls. Also, would be better if the breakfast provided something cold to drink like orange juice or apple juice instead of only hot coffee.

The fridge didn't work; it took them a whole day to replace the unit. Once it was there, the freezer compartment was full of ice, you couldn't fit a popsicle or ice pack in there.

Great place will definitely book again.

Staff made accommodations from two queens to a king size. Room was clean. Staff was nice gave us extra towels, and we needed them.We did not want to be bugged by room service.So they didn't come to clean the room.While we were there hibernating and enjoying the hotel room. The only thing was the room was hot for me.First got in there, took about an hour in twenty minutes to cool down the entire room

Safety was a concern as there were people who appeared to be on some type of drug sleeping on the floor outside of our door. The room itself was not cleanly, and all of the furniture was outdated and poor condition. Staff was sketchy caught them in multiple lies very seedy and sketchy business.
