The Manager and staff were very nice, and helpful. A very small town home feeling. The kids loved the pool. It was a quiet, clean, and frendly town. We sat outside and just talked for hours in the evening with manager, staff, and other guests. Great place to stay, I highly recommend it.

Decent for money

Very large room. Hotel is dated, but for what we needed (clean beds and bathroom) it was good enough. The woman at the front desk was very friendly and polite. She was a very helpful person.

Nice hotel in Clear Lake

Nice hotel in this small town. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Nice pool area, as well. My one complaint is no ice machine. There were only two restaurants open in Clear Lake on a Thursday night - a bar & grill and a pizza place.

Excellent room with three queen bed was a big plus for the group we traveled with. It is right off the pool area and is very nice abnd spacious. The room could use room darkening curtains to make sleeeping a bit more comfortable. Quiet and safe area. A bit off the I 29 when traveling through but not too bad considering the great room rate. Staff and manager were friendly and helpful when we needed things.
