Nice place. I'm definitely staying here again if I'm stopping in the area. I hope nothing changes, I like it just the way it is. Clean room, really good condition, friendly staff.

The hotel is clean and the AC works well. Karen keeps the breakfast area clean and well stocked. She was a particular highlight of our stay.

Best Western is my new hotel chain choice. I have nothing nice to say about certain large competitors. It was nice having a quiet stay and a comfortable bed with plenty of room.

We stayed here because of the great reviews about the breakfast, and it did not disappoint. Ms Karen offers great service & food. Eggs, sausage and potatoes every morning along with the standard continental items plus Texas sized (& shaped) waffles! They were undergoing renovations to the roof our first day there, but the hotel was clean and the staff very helpful. The AC in our room struggled, but then again it was August in TX, so we were just happy to be out of the heat. Would definitely recommend this place to stay.

Parking is small on the right side, but there is more parking on the left side of the hotel. Rooms were clean. If your room is facing I35, you will hear the trailers and loud cars. Luckily, the beds are comfortable, and we still managed to fall asleep comfortably. Breakfast on weekend days start at 7:00. Full breakfast: scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage, yogurt, waffles, toast, cereal, and such. The food was yummy! I believe Karen overlooked the breakfast area; she was very kind and made sure everyone enjoyed their breakfast. I will consider staying again.

We booked online, paid $1 online for breakfast in the morning for the 2 of us. They had eggs, potatoes and sausage links. They had yogurt from a machine and a few other things. The coffee was from a machine that offered several choices, like Mocha coffee, which I prefer. The room was clean and the TV was very big with over 100 channels, but the guide didn't show all of the channels so that was annoying. The remote wasn't very responsive to flip through the channels which is annoying for me, but we only stayed one night so that's good. I felt safe there, even though the freeway was right there. If you're outside, there was aot if freeway noise, but insi, it was quiet. I liked that they had blackout shades so it was very dark durng the day, but you had the choice of a lighter shade if that's what you prefer. They had an ice machine, soft drink vending, some very overpriced things and snacks they sold at the check in counter. I have stayed at many, many hotels, as I travel a lot for my job. I am a smoker. I've been to many hotels that do not have a place for smokers to sit down or provide shade. It makes me feel discrminated again. This place has what was sort of a wrap around porch feel to it. They had 2 rocking chairs on both sides of the entrance door. One had a trash can/smoker's deal on top to put out your cigarette, the other did not and it was fully shaded. I was very grateful for this and happy that I could sit in the shade from the Texas sun and relax while I smoked, instead of standing out in the sun like other places I've been. The bed was comfortable, had 4 pillows, a microwave, mini fridge and an alarm clock. I don't have any complaints about this hotel.
