Pleasantly surprised.

I was not sure what to expect in hotel room in a small town like Houston, but was very pleasantly surprised. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Check in/out was very easy. I would recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I was the only person there for most of my stay - which I like. When I had a problem, the staff was only a phone call away. There were some loud sounds - maybe the ice machine- that concerned me one night. It was very clean without that strong potpourri smell. Some outdoor furniture would have been nice. I would stay there again.

Room for fine for the price we paid for as amenities go. However the room stunk like rotten milk bad. We opened the bedroom screen door as well as the windows but couldn’t get it out.
