10/10 Exceptional
Jan 30, 2025
A score of 9 out of 10 is about right
I chose to try this hotel because it'd gotten a "9 out of 10" rating online. After a couple of nights I can confirm that's an accurate score. This is an excellent place with a few things that keep it from obtaining a 10. It's obviously a mature property but has been kept up well. The interior appears to have been recently remodeled. Spaces...including our room...were very clean. The exterior shows signs of age but still looks good. We appreciated room amenities, particularly the choice of Dove soaps and shampoos. I was impressed by all the recycling receptacles in rooms and by elevators, and the TV worked well.
This property sits close to Six Flags over Texas. Our room overlooked the park We heard only a little crowd noise during the day, but noise is surely a bigger problem during tourist season.
I found a couple of negatives more irritating. The check-in clerk wasn't particularly personable. He only seemed interested in completing required transactions, not greeting customers. Consequently, he gave the hotel a rather bad first impression. Fortunately, all other workers we met were much nicer.
We were provided a pretty decent "hot breakfast" featuring unremarkable eggs, pork sausage, biscuits and gravy...and cook them yourself waffles. Other options were lacking. Only 2% and whole milk were available from pitchers. They didn't offer decaf coffee and I didn't see bottled hot sauce for the eggs.
Overall, though, we had a very nice visit and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
