We had an amazing hostess that went above and beyond to help make us feel so comfortable. Unfortunately , we had issues with the owner. The day of the rehearsal, she kept walking through the hall and listing what she wanted us to change. We were told that we had access to the entire property, then she told us the bridal suite was not part of it. Later she decided to open it up for us to change. She left a room unlocked that had an ice machine inside so we used the ice to keep our drinks cold. She then came in again to tell us that we were not supposed to be in the room and told us we should not have used her ice. She complained that we did not use table clothes to cover the entire table. Anytime we would ask a questio, her response was "you're really pushing me today". After a talk with her and expressing my frustration, she left the hall and did not return until the event was over.

Faucet barely reaches sink, when washing hands the water goes everywhere We tried out this hotel because of the 9/10 ranking that it received on Yelp. Far higher than the other hotels in the area. The ranking is a mystery to me. I have stayed in hundreds of hotels over the years in my job, and that ranking is ridiculous at best and suspect at worst. There were two pluses that I can honestly point out: The modern hip colors in blue , grey and red, if you like their minimalist decor and the coffee that is only in the eating area is very good. The Best Western Plus we stayed in the night before far exceeded this place in every way!

The bed frame was metal and elevated off the floor, and the floor had no carpeting to speak of. As someone who travels quite a bit, This made the room feel cleaner and less stale, plus it reduces the chance of bedbugs. It also means it's easier to clean, which made me feel better about staying here. The Continental breakfast was delicious and the staff at the front were incredibly friendly. I highly recommend this hotel. One point of note that you need to be aware of. This hotel is used by a lot of blue collar workers for the refineries and other places. They can get a little bit loud in the evening but often are gone for work very early in the morning but often are gone for work very early in the morning. This didn't bother me at all, but if it bothers you, you might ask to stay away from that room block.

My husband said the mattress was still comfy, I couldn't tell because I now have neck pain all the time. The breakfast was less, probably because they didn't have enough guests to make the sausage and gravy, the crock pot was empty. Coffee, tea, milk, OJ, hot chocolate, oatmeal, bread, butter, jelly, small danish, muffins, 2 kinds of cereal. The coffee was burned tasting. Still an excellent value, especially if you book a week in advance. I like that the Chambers Co sheriff makes rounds. Good concrete parking lot. No highway noise. Good AC. Nice pool with water 3-5 feet deep. Chairs and tables around the pool. Chair for people with impaired mobility, to get in the pool. Lift the knob up on top of the gate and push the gate to get I to the pool area. They have a washer and drier for guests. Vending and ice machines behind the office.

For whatever reason, the people who rate stuff on TripAdvisor LOOOOOVE chains, but I find them to be often more expensive and less inspiring than independent places, and this place was no exception. The price for my room was super reasonable, check-in was efficient if not wildly friendly, the room is spotless, the bed is comfy, and my parking space is smack dab outside my room's door, which would probably be a downer for some people since it makes the rooms a little louder than the type that have their doors facing towards an internal hallway, but it's nice for me because I have a lot of luggage to shlep in and out. There was a large group of men standing around their pickups in the parking lot outside my room and making each other laugh for quite a while, but they were done by 9pm, and it was kind of cute - all those big, tough men in their dirty jeans and well worn work boots, chatting away and chuckling. Friends! My only complaints: The room smelled a bit like farts, but I think maybe the entire town smells like farts. I am assuming because of all the oil industry factories and stuff in the area? I have a yummy smelling candle and now it smells fine. A serious lack of outlets. In the year 2013, you really, really ought to have easy outlet access. Everywhere. Especially by the bed. I had to unplug a lamp and the clock radio to free up outlets for my phone and a heating pad (cramps ugh). That's it, though. Otherwise, the place was perfect and exactly what I was looking for.
