Clean!

This was the cleanest motel I've ever stayed in. It was cleaner than some hotels. It's a small place in a decent area, and I felt pretty safe coming and going. I will definitely be booking again.

We wanted a motel close to the baseball field in downtown Houston. The room was clean and comfortable.The only two things that I pointed out to the desk clerk were that the stopper in the bathtub didn't work and the entry door seal or weather strip piece was broken and allowed a big gap at the entry door bottom for bugs to enter in the room.

Relax

Overall, I enjoyed my stay here. The motel is older but newly renovated. You can tell the owner takes great care of the property. Our room was VERY CLEAN. We didn’t expect maid service to come through, but they did and did a thorough job. I like that Walmart is right next door and everything was easy to get to. I would definitely stay here again.

Overall, this isn't a bad place. It would be nice to have a clean blanket on the bed (rather than just a dirty bedspread). Walmart is within walking distance, and the Greyhound bus station is a five-minute drive away.
