The front desk staff were very friendly and sweet. The hotel had a good breakfast with various options, complimentary water, and the place was very clean. The beds and pillows were not very comfortable to me because they weren’t very firm. They also don’t do house keeping like making the beds cleaning the bathroom if you don’t stay for a minimum of 3 nights which was extremely odd to me as I’ve stayed in lower rated cheaper hotels and never had that be an issue. Wasn’t expecting that from a higher rated hotel. Also one of their elevators was broken the entire stay so it would take a little bit for us to go up and down. Parking was hard the first night. There weren’t a lot of options as it was full but didn’t have issues the next night. Overall location was nice and easy to get to Texas state university, food, and shops. Right off of 35.

They need proper AC not just in the rooms but in the common areas. There was mold in our room that made us sick. When we told the front desk attendant about the bad experience he stated we could get free sodas for our trouble. What a joke!
