Location was great and close to a lot of stores if you should need anything. Pool was well kept and clean (we didn’t get to enjoy it as we were so busy but it looked great!). The tub drained super slow so within a minute water was up around your ankles and I spent a lot of time worrying it was going to overflow. There were a lot of long black hairs (on counters/chairs) and some dried food crumbs left on the bathroom floor that I cleaned up myself when we arrived but other than that it was pretty clean. I always carry cleaning supplies when I travel.

Liked: Full hot breakfast. Ease of parking--close to room. Easy handicap access to room. The walk in shower was excellent. Easy access to front desk, ice machine, and snack machines.
With a couple of small modifications, the handicap access of the room could be greatly increased. I would love to discuss that with the management. The traffic along the I35 frontage road was terrible between 3-5pm Mon-Sat., but the quality of the stay overshadowed this

Ample breakfast, clean,good value for the price.
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.

The breakfast was pretty good. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. They allowed us to bring our puppy for a $15 charge.
A light stayed on all night in the room after I turned off the light! I guess it was like a night light but it was too bright. The room never got dark
