Do not stay here, did not honor reservation I placed 2 weeks prior to stay. Arrived at Midnight to be turned away regardless of reservation and confirmation email. EXTREMELY rude and disrespectful

The owner was very nice and helpful. It was a quiet area no issues with noise. The place did seem to be under some construction. The shower head is placed low, so I had to crouth to wash my hair. I also had to mess with the knobs to get the water to work.

We like the older motels with parking in front so that fit the bill . Easy check in and out . The room was clean and cared for and somewhat updated. The bed was comfy enough, but with better quality sheets would be perfect.

Room was clean and all fixtures worked properly. The only complaint, which is just a typical hotel complaint, is that my wife and I get a king size bed if available and there are always only three small pillows on bed. So, I am always short changed on an extra pillow. haha.

Clean, comfortable safe and good location
Checking was very neighborly, with plenty of conversation. I spoke to two people, and both were very informative about the hotel and the area. The room was super clean, and everything in it worked, the lights, bathroom and kitchen area, with a microwave and a small refrigerator. There was a TV as well, and it had all the channels that I watch on cable. The hotel is close to the Main Street and to area shopping and restaurants. I came to see family, and they sometimes picked me up, and I sometimes walked to where they are. The town is small enough to make it possible. So, the hotel is well placed. Checkout was a breeze, and also felt neighborly. The staff were understanding about how early I had to leave, and made it easy to take care of that detail. Even though it is the only hotel in the town, I would recommend it to those staying in the town. It is clean, comfortable, safe and well located. If I happen to go there again, I would stay there again.

Positives Very affordable. Parking right outside the door (typical old school motel). Near local restaurants. Clean. Hot water. Fairly comfortable bed. Mini fridge & microwave. Negatives Dated interior. Slight musty smell. No wifi. Near active railroad intersection with horn required. Long term residents who are loud well into the night. TV with very weak volume even at max. Window AC unit mounted in wall. The big question - will I stay there again if in town for the same event? No - I will pay more and/or drive further rather than stay again. But - if you need a cheap place to stay and can tolerate the negatives this may be the place for you. The train and long term residents are the tipping point.

The worst were the broken tiles
This is not the place to stay unless you are in Eagle Lake as a "Sportsman" and can handle a bit of a rough stay. The room was a bit musty, the rug in the main part was bumpy and a little damp, and the worst part was that many of the tiles in the kitchen/sink/bathroom area were cracked and broken with some edges sticking up. They guy at the desk said they were going to fix my room next, but the tiles in the room next door were new. My thought was, if so, why not put me there. Anyway, avoid staying here if you can. I will never return.

Older Mom-n-Pop Type Motel
We stayed here to be close to the Attwater Prairie Chicken NWR and were not expecting the Ritz, however this was one of the strangest rooms we've been in. The bedside lamps were wall sconces installed so high that I couldn't reach them. The bathroom area had new paint+texturizing, which included having texturized switch plate and light switch, texturized door frames and texturized hooks in the closet area! The carpeting had a huge lump in it that caused some near tripping - who knows what happened there!? My husband had a little brown bug of some sort under his pillow when he was getting in bed - not a bedbug, not a roach... But - the beds were very comfortable and the woman in the office when we checked in was pleasant. It was fine for an over night stay!

Room was extremely dated and smelled of stale tobacco. Lacking towels, which I retrieved from manager. Upon opening towel after getting out of shower, discovered black hand print in middle of what was supposed to be freshly cleaned towel. Dust and dirt everywhere. Kept awake most of night by snoring neighbor. Itched all night in bed.

We gave Non smoking room, seemed like you were looking for a Name brand hotel, yet we are personal mom and pops motel. You never came to let us know all the issue you were facing . All our towels we have are laundered so am so sorry if every thing go wrong room but yet you did not compline at all to the front desk . She would switch ur room for you. Also last Couple days we have giving to other guest they never complained about the bed nor towels or the smell...we did freshly painted the rooms but no smoking smell what so ever. I have personally went checked the room you stayed in on that date. Sorry for unpleasant stay but you should have came in office and let the staff know. With all the issue am not understanding why you did not go to front desk to let the staff know. If you have we gladly made ur stay better for you. All my hotel room pics are online so am sorry it was dated for you, but you have noticed the room before the reservation was made. Once again am sorry of how you feel about our motel.
