The property's depiction in the picture is deceptive, and I am baffled by the high rating of 9.2 in the reviews. It should have been closer to 2.9. There is a dire need for improvement in cleaning the bathtubs and sprucing up the exterior. However, the interior was relatively acceptable. The refrigerator provided was standard and in good condition, though I cannot confirm if this applies to all rooms.

Won’t be back.
For a motel it wasn’t bad. Everything seemed clean but the tub fixtures were old hard to operate. Toilet seat was broken off hinge, but that seems to a problem in a lot of motels. No coffee service in rooms, only coffee available was at the front desk. Probably would not stay here again.

I really liked our room, at first. The owner/manager was a good guy to talk to. Unfortunately, this town is surrounded by oil-related industries. At night, the stench crept into our room, making me nauseated. We left before 7AM. I will not be back.

Hotel In Small Town A Nice Surprise
It looks pretty run down from the outside but the room was nice, furniture fine. Hosts were very personable and it was an easy check-in. Lobby closed from 8pm to 7am and that is where the ice machine is. Nice thing was I got a bucket of ice and there was a full size refrigerator freezer in my room so I put the bucket in the freezer. Not a fancy place but very adequate.

The owners were both present at check in and they were nicest people! Our room was very big, and clean. It had a fridge, microwave, and table. The only downside is you can hear a lot of traffic, fortunately there isn’t a ton of it. Would definitely stay here again!

I was only here long enough to take a nap, a shower, and get back on the road again, but even my short stay was SO pleasant. I first want to say how incredibly kind and sweet the couple at the front desk were (I’m sorry I’m terrible with names, I wish I could remember.) I can’t tell you how nice it is to feel so welcome and like you are appreciated as soon as you step in the door. I was here on Christmas Eve. The rooms were VERY clean and spacious. Full size refrigerator and microwave were also in the room. I don’t know when I will next be driving through Texas, but I can promise that I will stay here every time I do.

Very clean, nice large room. The tub was old and stained but clean. The owners were very nice and helpful. It’s not safe to drive the 67 after dark do to an abundance of deer/wildlife’s. This is a good choice to avoid the late evening/night drive toward San Angelo!!
