Under renovation. Filthy—microwave, fridge, bathroom. No toilet paper, tissues, glasses, ice bucket, wash cloths, bottled water, sundries. Night employee shrugged when I told her. I asked her what she was going to do to fix it. She gave me a roll of toilet paper and told me I should bring my own water.

This hotel is very upkept beginning with the lobby. It smells when you walk in. When i walked in my room, the room smelled so dirty. There were stains all over the furniture and all surfaces. There were stains on the mirror headboard (very gross). There was only one towel in the bathroom. There were roach carcasses on the floor. There was not one surface that was clean. I immediately went to the front desk and got my refund, and booked a room at the Holiday Inn Express across the street. This hotel is absolutely NOT what it's advertised to be.

The staff were wonderful and the overall comfort of the hotel was good. The room is comfortable and newly updated from a decor standpoint. The major issue was the bathroom. The sink was broken, the shower had some mold spots and the overall construction / maintenance is rough. For the price - it’s was worth it. If you are expecting 5 star for 60 bucks, you’re crazy.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, the hotel is conveniently located right in Gonzales and the price was fair. On the downside, we had a non-working refrigerator, saw a few critters: a gecko, some crickets, and a few silverfish. The breakfast was very limited, there was no working juice or water. Our room was relatively comfortable otherwise, but it smelled slightly like mold and mildew and in the shower some vinyl wall boards were nailed in and held in place by wood trim and lots of silicon caulk. The overall maintenance of our room was poor, but my son's family was in a room that smelled cleaner, had working appliances, had a chair to sit in, and seemed to be in better repair.

My stay was fine---the staff was great and the accommodation was relatively clean---but once nighttime hit bugs small and large started crawling out from behind the bed where there was a tiny gap. I ended up making it work and just sleeping at the wrong end of the bed for the night, but definitely not the most comfortable experience.

It took about 30 minutes to get checked in, because the clerk was new and she did not know what she was doing, she went to get there other lady that was there and then she came out she said that I would have to have a online reservation in order to get the room at the price that was online, I did an online reservation and got checked in, we got to the room and the toilet had all type of mushed up toilet paper in the commode and it was black, we allerted to clerk on duty and she put us in another room, that room had roaches, so we really had to check everything before we leave to make sure we did not take the roaches with us... Breakfast bar was not pleasant... Been here several times before but this was a problem with this time
