This place is a bargain - for well under $100 (the price offered on the Red Roof Inn web site where I booked) I got a newly refurbished room that was clean (see exception below) and quiet. I had a standard room with 2 double beds. There was a clean fridge and microwave, cleverly concealed separately in a dresser (took me a bit to find them). Bed could have been firmer, but all the furnishings looked new and were in excellent condition. Plenty of plugs, good work desk, wi-fi worked properly, nice TV, designer sink (but which would be too high for a child to reach, if that matters). I didn't try the shower, but it was clean. Although next to the railroad, the room was surprisingly quiet and I slept well (and I had a room close to the tracks, most rooms are away from/shielded from train noise, and trains do not blow their horns when passing through the town). One plus for me: the a/c has a fan-only setting and will cycle on and off, and is reasonably quiet; my pet peeve is that a lot of motels have a/c's that have to operate continuously or you get no air flow. This made sleeping better. No free breakfast for that bargain price, but there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance (one on each side of the motel). If COVID is a concern, note that all doors open directly to the outside in this property (they do have an indoor corridor west wing which is not currently in use, I was told they ”use it for storage”). Checkin/checkout were both friendly, speedy and simple. The property was formerly a Best Western. Although the room was fully updated and spiffy, work needs to be done next on the exterior, which looks run down in places with some sketchy dark breezeways. But the 2-story building is obviously well built - a poured concrete floor (not wood) helped keep the room quiet. The only negative turned into a positive: although the room itself was really clean, housekeeping had obviously forgotten to clean the drawers, in which I found some trash from a previous occupant. I mentioned this in a constructive way to the front desk when checking out, and was surprised to receive a personal e-mail from the manager apologizing a day or so later. Good management. Overall, recommended.

I travel over 150 days a year for my job and stay exclusively in Wyndham properties, so I review each one. The parking lot was clean and well lit on arrival. Check in went smoothly. My room, a queen handicap, was very clean, with a comfortable bed/ pillows and newer fixtures. Room access is via an interior door. WiFi speed was 11.9 megs down, 7.22 up via Ookla. Most of the stated amenities were in place, such as the microwave, small refrigerator but NO single serve coffee maker. (If you advertise something it should be available!) My digital AC/heater worked well. The television had only a basic selection of channels but a good picture. The breakfast area and lobby were very clean. The snack and drink machines were well stocked. There is a small guest laundry, $2.75 to wash, $2 to dry, laundry detergent is available. No fitness or business center available. A good hotel, but if there is another Wyndham property available with in room coffe, I'll stay there. A small thing perhaps but it's important to me personally.

This hotel was just across from the good Texas Longhouse restaurant for our dinner as we just walked to and from. We really liked the receptionist with her excellent host attitude and was willing to keep our freezer pad in her office refrigerator as our suite refrigerator did not have a freezer. Breakfast was excellent because boiled eggs were firmly-cooked and very good tasty sausages with folded cheese eggs.

Needed no frills one night stay and this motel fit the bill. Clean exterior, nothing fancy but ponds (with geese) on 2 sides gave it a peaceful feeling even though it's on a busy street. Walked across the lot to the third side and had dinner at Giordanos Pizza and breakfast at Dunkin Donuts. The rear side faced an office building with a Menards across the street next to a Portillos. No loud guests or tradesman hanging out in the lot or lobby. Side door locks worked, required key card and none were propped open, so felt very safe. Basic room was clean with plenty of towels and large TV. Only complaints: slow elevator, almost no pressure in shower head, and only one entry to driveway easily missed in the dark. Desk was always staffed. Unknowingly dropped water bottle lanyard while refilling, but it was picked up and a note attached so that I was handed it back when I checked out. Don't know if I'll be back this way but if I am, will definitely stay here.

The hotel should be a bit historical, the surrounding environment is good, the suburbs are very quiet, the equipment is a bit old; there are more types of breakfast.
