The place has an unpleasant odor. Not a " stink" per se' just a muggy scentI. Probably time to replace the carpet ? It is in a good location for Texas State. We have stayed here before but will probably be our last...

They have got to clean the walls and curtains! The floors in the entry & bathroom were slick. Felt like they were mopped with oil! Thankfully the Bedding was clean. Crisp sheets. Lobby and Outside were well kept. They have free coffee and it was actually really good. For some reason we were given a handicap room on the first floor. Noise levels were okay. We couldn’t hear people next to us but could hear people above us. Staff was great, attentive and nice.
