3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall a good stay. Good customer service and easy check in and check out. The pool area was really nice. The only issue is that the room, while clean and comfortable, had a kind of weird smell.

Anthony, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a very pleasant stay. Everything was excellent especially the mattress and bed comfort. We would love to know the mattress brand, type and size including any details - as we are looking for buying one that is comfortable as the one at the hotel.

Diana, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Concert event at the Moody Center.

The stay was great! The room was cozy and the bed very comfortable. There is quite a bit of night life around the hotel and you could hear loud music near by. A sound machine was in the room and that did help to drown out the noise. We slept well. Mentioning it for those that may not like that. We enjoyed what they offered for breakfast. Parking was a.bit of a challenge. Once we figured it out we were good to go. Perfect location to where we were going. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Great value for the price

Great friendly service, room was clean and comfortable. No issues with noise. Free breakfast was great! Some hot items available along with easy grab and go items like bagels, yogurt, fruit, etc.
Rose, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The room we were in was by a bar/club that played music until 2:00 am. We asked to be moved to another room after 2 nights which the staff accommodated us. It would have been nice to have known about this issue when we checked in so we could have been provided with another option at that time.
