They were very friendly and overall the room was clean. The only issue I had was the towles did not look clean and they were rough and the pillows were very flat. I had to go buy pillows so I could sleep comfortably. I would stay again but I hope they get better towels and pillows.

My husband said the location was amazing, many close dining areas. He was able to walk to Burger King to pick up a rodeo burger with ease. The only thing was the bed, a little hard but other than that great and clean stay!

Restroom needs a face lift
Picked this room because of the picture of the bed and ceiling but that restroom needs some serious update.

Clean room, awesome atmosphere inside the room. BUT pillows sucked, and the water pressure in the shower was TERRIBLE. Overall great experience especially for the price for 2 nights.
