Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a mixed experience with rooms being far from the main lobby and in need of cleaning upon check-in. However, the service was accommodating and friendly. The location, though a bit confusing, is convenient for travelers along I-20 with a fair setting. Dining was rated positively, offering good food with some pricey items. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel had cool and clean rooms but lacked comfort, especially in the living area with no windows. The service was mostly welcoming and friendly, except for a negative encounter with the female in charge. The location was convenient for various activities but slightly confusing. The dining experience was decent but could use improvement in preparation. Overall, the hotel provided a mixed experience with some positive and negative aspects.
The hotel offered nice and spacious rooms, though cleanliness could be improved. I was surprised they tried to upsell a buffet breakfast for $14.99, which was just a few trays and fruits in the lobby served early. The equipment in the room was modern, but there was a lingering urine smell after being relocated.
