Decent & budget friendly lodging place!
Decent place, budget friendly, peaceful and quiet! It is a refurbished/repurposed nursing home, but it was no problem to us. It was as comfortable as any other hotel stay I've been at. The only thing that made us a little iffy was the community showers. Its 3 showers in one room, but you can lock the door so no one else goes in. It was real clean, the bed was soft, it had a microwave, a small fridge, your own bathroom, tv, drawers and desk with chair.

So, this place is pretty much a repurposed nursing home. Had no idea it was also residential. Room was clean, didn’t know it wouldn’t have a shower. Also in my room, had to move the microwave because the cord was too short and the wall socket was on the opposite side. Had to buy my own ice as there is no ice maker. Community showers weren’t really up to par. I could tell it was an old bathing room for patients. Saw live and dead roaches in there. Neighborhood was kinda sketchy, I felt really uneasy. Hallways smelled like smoke, which irritated my lungs as I’m asthmatic. Staff was great, though. Tolerated it because I needed to stay for work and commuting 2 hours from San Antonio is a hassle. Just wasn’t it for me, pretty disappointed.

When I first checked in the original room I got wasn’t cleaned. Had a dirty towel on the bed and bed was unmade. After getting another room I’m not sure if it was the chemicals used to clean the room or the humidity was that strong, I COULDN’T BREATH. I checked out after one hour of checking in. DO NOT STAY HERE.

I didn't want to give too low a review because I believe this stay has the bones to be top-notch. First off, the staff were incredibly friendly and accomodating. Very approachable. The showers were in common spaces but that didn't really bother me since you can lock the door. Security was pretty good, cameras everywhere and digital locks on room doors. It seemed like nothing was attached to the walls though when it came to towel racks, screws sticking out of the tables in the shower room, and the swing lock being loose. Rooms were very nice and rennovated, even if the smokey hallway makes you think otherwise. The area has great food, it helps if you know Spanish. No one really bothers you if you don't bother them, use basic street smarts. Overall, I think this place can be a great bang-for-your-buck with a few improvements which they seem already aware of.
