    Upon our arrival it was a pile of ants above the door, crawling the walls, roof and door. I went to the office and was told to spray outdoor spray. No one every asked us if that resolved the bugs, if we were still having an issue, had we seen anything else. Absolutely noting. The walls are thin. You hear everything poor nsulation. You can't use tap and pay and they charge an extra $10 if paying in cash. They want you to book online/reserve online.

    They present false advertisement. They show a photo of a breakfast area that they actuallystate is for use. They're changing a rate that's not comparable to the properties within the area. The Internet is really poor/it's intermittent and bufflers. They also have "potatoe bugs" in the restroom area and the toilet malfunctions along with a nonworking AC/heating unit. The young lady is also very rude! She will hang up the phone in your face (unprofessionalism). Also, being that it is family owned, it's no urgency to answer the office phone or provide assistance at the window.

    Booked room, showed up to check-in, and the front desk asked if I could stop urinating in the bed. I live in California, and the last time I stayed here was over a year ago. Wont be back anyway, due to the rooms have gone downhill. Smoke alarm was detached from its' original spot, and I killed a couple of baby cockroaches.

    First time staying at non chain motel and what sold me was the customer service. Called to see if there was enough room to park a car hauler and the employee was very helpful. Clean, updated motel, close but not too close to the busy highway. Will be staying here again in the future next time in town. Only negative is against the other occupants as some would be playing music till midnight then another had their tv playing loud all night so I was awake for few hours trying to drown it out.

    Room 212 smelled horribly of weed when I opened the door. No Smoke detector, obviously ripped out of the ceiling to prevent alarms from the smoking. Floor had hair all over, sink not clean of toothpaste, used makeup applicators on sink, 9 bars of soap and shampoo, long term stay room? phone not functional, filters on fan and AC unit were filthy. Desk clerk was nice, but I didn't bother with a request to switch rooms as apparently I got the last one and with Expedia, no chance of a refund. Bed sheets appeared clean, fridge and microwave clean and functional. Floors are not carpet, which I wish more hotels would go to for cleanliness. Outside had some questionable guests and activities going on. I had higher hopes for this relatively new hotel to the area that isn't in a bad location.

    The hotel is located in a good area and not far away from the Houston Premium Outlets which was our primary reason for staying here. When we went to check in, we had to do so through a window as the reception area was under rennovation. It was around 104 degrees outside so this wasn't very pleasant and it seemed to take an age for our group to check in to our 3 rooms. We were already tired from our 5 hour drive from New Orleans so this was a little frustrating. Once in our rooms, we discovered a sticky substance on the bench (looked like a drink) and one of our other party had crumbs on their floor. Later that evening, when getting into bed we noted the bed sheets had stained blood on them. As it was 11.45pm at night we didn't call anyone at reception and slept on top of the bed. We mentioned this upon check-out the following morning and were told we should have called. In my opinion, the cleaner would have easily seen this when making the bed but has chosen not to do anything about it. The rooms are modern inside so this would be a great option if the cleaning is improved.

    We cut our losses and looked elsewhere. We tried Super 8 for a night and it was absolutely disgusting and Holiday Inn was booked so we then decided to give Empire Inn a try. We are so glad we did! Truthfully, while it doesn’t have all of the same amenities and needs a few updates here and there, they make up for it with how kind and helpful they are and how well they run the property. They only have one housekeeper, but she made sure we had everything we needed. Even though you don’t have a hallway to buffer sounds, there were zero issues with noise. We slept like babies every night we were there. Shipley’s donuts is also right Nextdoor and in walking distance!

    They have a different name when you are looking and that tricks you into selecting it. When you get to the place you find cigarette butts in all hallways. At the entrance there is an old abandoned coca cola vending machine full of a lot of grime, behind it you can't imagine the dirt there. Inside the room, the bathroom was not clean. The place is definitely not pleasant at all because of how dirty it was.
