    Breakfast wasn't very good. Rooster was crowing at 5 in the morning.

    It is convenient for what we were doing. Easy off and on highway. Staff was friendly. Room was clean.

    The building exterior needs paint and pool too smaller than the picture. The towels in the bathroom is very old.

    parking got pretty full towards the end of the night and had huge potholes on one side of the parking lot. there were some creepy guys just hanging out around the stairs around the night time!

    Map shows location along the southbound I-35 access road but does not indicate which turn-off to take to reach the road. If you overshoot that turn-off, you have to go all the way to the next overpass,go north to the turnoff you missed,cross I35 and go back. Had a hard time finding the light switches.

    Ample breakfast, clean,good value for the price.

    Not enough towels and they were scratchy. The water pressure was terrible and the bathtub did not drain, but just filled with water.

    Can not be fixed, but sounds from the neighbours.

    It was a nice hotel. Breakfast was good. Room clean and complete. Only thing was you could hear the Neighbour, but that is in most hotels. I would stay there again when I am on the road again.

    The Pillows was way to small for a King size bed. The room wasn’t like the pictures at all. the TV was barley noticeable.

    We did a search on the internet on several different sites.

    Although some updating has been done, this motel wasn't quite as nice as some others where we've stayed. It's on a busy road, but we weren't bothered by traffic noise since we were near the back of the complex.

    The breakfast was fine--typical of many motels, with cereal, fruit, egg items, breads, coffee, etc. Our beds were comfortable, and we found the location was fine for our needs (we were only needing a place to spend the night on our way to somewhere else.).

    Comfortable bed, but needs alot of maintenance as this place is getting Run-Down.

    Property is pretty run-down. The beds were comfortable and the underneath sheets appeared to be clean. The bedding covers had all kinds of stains....looked really bad. Front door closing mechanism was disconnected or broken, TV remote had cracks, lamp shades were falling apart. Bathroom was dirty and lots of bugs in the overhead bath light with mold all around the ceiling area. Rust around fixtures. This place could use a new coat of paint and some maintenance. We had to cancel our second night stay due to a family issue, and hotel still charged us $161.00 for the one night, which I thought was pretty expensive for one night at this place.

    Hotel is located on service road in northern part of San Marcus, Tx and plenty of restaurants fairly close. Breakfast had waffles and even eggs/sausage, so that was nice.

    I was there for over 2 weeks and asked for a comfortable chair. I was told no because the chairs were for the king bed rooms. Are ya kidding me??? They got 2.5 weeks of booking and they couldn’t find me a comfortable chair so I didn’t have to sit in the bed or a straight backed chair??? I was not impressed.

    It was clean and staff was nice. Price was ok.

    The man in the office could have been friendlier. Not very sympathetic when I mentioned being awakened at 2:13 by what sounded like moving furniture. He said people were just checking in at that time. The place was not full, so why wake others by putting them above a room that was occupied?

    Breakfast was very good, an accessible micro wave would be nice. The female staff member was helpful and cheerful.
