It's a charming place with a vintage vibe. Besides being cute is very clean and pleasant. Very good value for your money. Very confortable bed and it has everything you need, kitchenette, wardrobe, fridge, and you dont really feel like is too much. It feels like a mini apartment. The employees were ver nice and professional.profesional. another plus: the complementsry breakfast they offer is real: sausages, eggs, pancakes, fruit, Juice, etc. The breakfast área is neat and clean, the person in charge is constantly verifying that the food is plenty. This hotel left a good impresssion on us, such as my husband asked me no to forget to write a good review.

Everything! The staff that greeted us upon check-in and checkout (Junior and Tanika) were very pleasant and helpful. The grounds were immaculate and included a pool. beautifully furnished full covered patio off the lobby, playground and even a small fenced area for dogs. The room was among the nicest I've ever stayed in for any economy or budget style hotel. That includes all of the major name brand chains. The room was spacious and came equipped with king bed, desk with 2 chairs, full size refrigerator, coffee maker, cabinet mounted microwave, full counter with sink, wall mounted big screen TV and spacious bathroom with sliding door access. Everything was clean and new! The bed and pillows were some of the nicest and most comfortable I've slept on. The lobby was large, clean and brightly lit. Breakfast of waffles, sausage gravy and biscuits, 2 types of cereal, english muffins, fruit, yogurt milk, juice and coffee were provided. The lobby also contains a large refrigerated case with numerous popular drink options (Starbucks, coke/pepsi products, bottled juices and more) at reasonable prices. A shelf area with some snack options is also provided. The price for a nights stay? $85.00 (taxes and fees included) for a Saturday night over Labor day weekend! Amazing!

Nothing. Not a lot of restaurant options nearby (McDonalds and Burger King) and the location is not the best part of town. But the hotel is fully fenced and gated with 24hr. on site security. It is also super easy access from I-10. It was quiet and we never had any concerns for the safety of ourselves or our vehicle during our stay.

Hotel was clean!!! Rooms looked like they were just remodeled. The rooms were large, had a kitchenette and clean. There was a pool and a party ground if you had kids. The staff was extremely friendly. Hotel was gated. Felt safe. I said the location was great in terms of being near VA Hospital.

I had a great stay at this hotel! The room was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, safe and beautifully remodeled with a mid modern touch. Everything promised was there—Wi-Fi, toiletries, coffee maker, and more. It was exactly as advertised, and I’d definitely stay here again.
