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.
