We had four families staying here for Spring Break. We chose this place because it was close to Six Flaggs, had a basketball court and indoor pool for the kids to play in. Court was great the first night, but second night was overloaded with a church group from the adjacent hotel, that they share the court with. No problem, so the kids can go in the pool, nope, it was freezing and indoor! Apparently the heater for the hot tub was broken, I assume it heats the pool too. On Wednesday we were told it would be fixed and still wasn’t on Saturday when we left. But at least we had the basketball court. First night our large group was able to hang out in the courtyard. Again fire pitt wasn’t working. And never got fixed while we were there. Last night was colder but there was enough room for us to spread out in the lobby. Snack for purchase area was good, they probably should have planned on stocking up since it was spring break for most of Texas. But kids could still find a few things. Breakfast, eggs every day, they were good. A different protein every day. Typical waffle maker, muffins, cereals, milk. No potatoes, and no fresh fruit. Fruit cups don’t count. That was a surprise. I’ve always seen bananas and apples at free breakfast buffets. Staff was nice. The guy there the first day, Joshua?, he was extremely nice, helpful, courteous, great guy. Two bedroom suite was great. Not new, not too old. Clean. Kitchen was stocked with a few things you may need. But bring large trash bags and dish soap for washing dishes if needed. Fridge has an ice maker. Beds were fairly comfortable. Pillows were all different types so you can hopefully find one you like. Location was great for restaurants and felt fairly safe. We would stay there again. Just hope the pool items were fixed.

Stayed here for 7 nights during Thanksgiving. Staff at this hotel were stars especially at the front desk. The front desk staff all were cheerful and full of energy. It was no problem asking for extra towels or other things. All requests were met with smiles. Our stay was disturbed unfortunately by finding a bug in the bed. Staff there were quick to relocate us to a new room without making us feel we were the problem. The hotel and room were clean otherwise - and my wife is particular about cleanliness. She had no complaints otherwise. Appearance of the hotel was great and location was excellent - I was able to walk to the Parks Mall (nice mall) one day and there are dozens of restaurants within 1 mile or so of the hotel. I noticed police cars staged across the street in the hospital parking lot on multiple days which made for a safe feel. Clean fitness center which was small, but had signage that implied time had to be reserved, but I didn't need to do so. Biggest issue (other than finding a crawling bug in the bed) was the breakfast was not very good. I'm used to Residence Inn breakfasts from multiple past stays at this brand, but this particular hotel had very bland waffles and syrup. One last complaint - there were multiple instances that staff were not wearing masks nor enforcing lack of masks by guests.
