This property is very near the ramps to I-35, so is very convenient for travelers. The standard king room was not overly large, but the bed was very comfortable, and the property is very clean and seemed well-kept. We did not use the breakfast, but the breakfast area is large and pleasant.
Our only suggestion would be to replace a lamp or two in the room with the one that has USB ports for recharging electronics.

Breakfast was good - always a good variety, would be nice if they could share a menu online so we can plan ahead based on whats available. Pool was clean and my kids enjoyed it - had depths of 3', 4, and 5' in its deepest section with lots of towels available nearby. Room was comfy and had fridge/microwave/iron. I liked that they had actual bottles of shampoo/soap/conditioner instead of the wasteful plastic mini bottles. Plenty of towels and pillows to make the room comfy.
The beds were really high. Like my 5' mom had to have assistance to get into and out of bed with a step stool. May need to check and ask for an accessible room for anyone who is shorter or has knee/leg issues. No housekeeping services during our stay, so we just had to call the desk for anything we needed, but I don't know why they couldn't at least come to pickup trash?

I liked how neat the front lobby was and how well kept the pool and breakfast areas were taken care of
Could use some better parking outside. Had to park in the back and had to squeeze in between 2 trucks

Breakfast and the location were very good.
It was odd that the initial search shows the price for a night to be one amount and then the actual price are different.

I felt very safe, it was very clean. The people were very nice.
I went during college move-in, so the price was doubled. That’s the one thing I didn’t like.
