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

Very clean and tidy!

Thoroughly impressed with how clean the room was. The bed was very comfortable and the A/C was super cold. Will definitely be back.
Erica, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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 The room itself was not cleanly, and all of the furniture was outdated and poor condition.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.

4/10 Fair

It is nothing like the photos!

There is a lingering smell to the place & the actual room felt damp. Our room was attached to another room by a door and we could see and hear everything. The covers were scratchy & everything felt old.

10/10 Exceptional

HoJo San Marcus Texas two thumbs up!

I got to the location about 9 hours after my intended arrival, in the MIDDLE of the night, and the clerk was so kind! He even offered to help me carry my bag up the stairs since I had an upstairs room! The bed was amazingly comfy, and the shower was awesome. Even being THAT close to a major highway, the room was quiet, with the door shut, I couldn’t even hear the traffic!
Miranda, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Breakfast is kept out 24/7. The cereal and serving equipment look like they used them for a dog, then put them out for food. The room was dusty everywhere and had a lot of bugs in it to the point that my toddler picked one up and handed it to me. Nothing was clean, and no housekeeping came during my stay. I guess if you want cheap, you get cheap and dirty.
