This place is a blessing in disguise. My family and I were displaced rather suddenly and had absolutely nowhere to go. I can't say enough nice things about the owner or how nice this place really is. The rooms are very nice and very large. Enough for 2 adults, 2 toddlers, and 2 dogs (a German Shepherd and Yellow lab). This place doesn't look much from the road, but the inside is a real gem. They offer a number of different rates as well. Nightly, weekly, and even monthly which was a pleasant surprise! I very highly recommend this place whether it is just a night or a whole month.
Inexpensive, comfy bed,friendly service, quiet, great budget stop and clean. Full kitchen in our room. Our room is cowboy themed.
This place was great! Clean, cozy, and convenient for visiting the nearby parks and lakes. The manager was sweet and friendly. We checked out a little late and it was no problem. BBQ grills, picnic tables and a play scape for the kiddos. They even allow pets for an extra $20/night.
Very quiet place to stay at an affordable rate. The owners are on-site and we’re always helpful. I stayed here for two months while I relocated and purchased a new house. The area has a beautiful drive too. They have daily, weekly, and mouthy rates. I never had any issues with anyone or anything. They do good keeping the shenanigans down to zero here and I appreciate that. It’s worth the drive and just minutes away from the nearest city.
Not going to lie when I pulled up in the middle of night it looked like the bates motel for real... but looks definitely deceiving. Room was very clean and large talked to owner next morning found out they just bought it and in about a month went from dump to very nice. They still got lot to do so I highly recommend . Thank you again for all your hospitality
Loved the decorations and room. We had a kitchenette and the price was excellent. BBQ grill was a bonus with the small pnay park my daughter loved. Stayed during a rare ice storm in TX. We had no issues and the owner manager was great.
Very comfortable and the people up front are very respectful and nice.
Enjoyed my stay here it's always a pleasure new owners doing some much need up keep but as always enjoyable stay!⬛
