Keep on driving...

OK, there are no nice hotels in Wharton - this is it. This one is not the Ritz Carlton either unfortunately. It is dirty and more like a 2-3 start hotel. The rooms are relatively modern but stains on the carpet, dings in the furniture etc. This is a huge hotel for roughnecks passing through and they are hard on the place. If you have to stay in Wharton, this is your best bet. If you can, keep going and stay in Rosenberg - few better places in El Campo. This place is decent at best and certiainly not worth the cost.

Worst experience

Tried to check in the holiday day inn express had system issues so I couldn’t check in & I couldn’t stay there worst experience ever!! There were three others checking in as well they couldn’t check in either they had us calling holiday inn main office with no help just back in forth with the people at the counter with no help. Never again will I try to book at any holiday inns

If I can give a negative 5 star rating I would

In terms of friendliness and helpfulness, this hotel falls far short of a resting and helpful hotel. In fact, they take the opposite view. They look at how painful they can make the experience of checking in. They look at you as a nuisance to be tolerated. Probably won't be staying here anymore. The upkeep us starting to degrade. The rooms are meeting the definition of tolerable conditions.
