We needed somewhere to stay with our two dogs, and this was a great choice. The yard was fully fenced so we could let them out without a leash. The camper was clean and the bed was comfortable (more on the firm side). The only issue was the noise which the owners mention in the property description. If you're a light sleeper, you might want to find another place to stay. The traffic was very noisy...I used a noise machine and ear plugs to sleep. The bathroom was also a tight space, which is to be expected from a camper (just fyi). I'd say we were about 20 minutes from Moody Center and Congress/6th St. The drive wasn't bad. I personally might not stay here again due to the noise and how light of a sleeper I am, but overall we were pleased with our stay! ##### Kaylen R.
