I did not get to stay here, but i went to went my room ahead of time, i was gonna start a job in town, but they ended up canceling last minute. The owner was amazing and super nice, refunded my money for the deposit right away and i even had a package sent there, which he was so nice to send back. I saw the room and it was great and super clean. Anytime i have to come back to town, I'm definitely picking this place over all the big names ones. Hence I'm super picky on my reviews!!! Thumbs up

I am from Houston. I had a car accident at 5am on hwy 16, and the sheriff brought me to this hotel. I needed to stay for a weekend. The owner Son (Andy) was very kind. I had no car, no uber option, and no friends. The closest fast foods is 10 mins away. Andy offer to take me to the nearby store to pickup whatever I need for my staying. On Sunday, I was flying home and I needed Uber or taxi. Neither option was available. Andy call some friends and arrange a driver for me. The airport was an hour away, I offer to pay $100. That was very nice of you to help me out like that. I would recommend anyone to stay here. Andy will take good care of you.

Really great little motel. Very clean and very comfortable for a small motel. Great customer service extremely helpful. I’m working out of town in this Texas heat. The manager turned on my air conditioner, so the room would be nice and cold when I arrived. It is absolutely nothing fancy, but it’s absolutely comfortable and would recommend it to anyone that just needs a good nights sleep very happy with the customer service and the room will definitely stay here the whole time I’m on this job.
