Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Great Staff Clean and very friendly."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Very accommodating staff. We were here for a funeral and needed a later checkout and they were great. Nice clean room with comfortable bed. Like that the floors are not carpet so easier for staff to clean, microwave and frig came in handy. Will definitely stay when we are back in area.

Testimonials:
"We greatly appreciate your help. We had made arrangements with a hotel and then found out that it was located in a bad part of town. The trip is in three weeks and we felt doomed. I found your site and we had bids from three hotels within 1 hour. On such short notice and a larger group .. We are thrilled !! Thanks !!" T.G. - Missouri City, MO
