I can't even believe this experience. Out of the 6 beds we booked; all 6 had dirty linen on them. You could see hair on the sheets and the maid had obviously just pulled the covers back up on these beds for the next guests. I don't even want to think about how many different people had slept on these same sheets. We stripped all the beds and got more sheets and made the beds ourselves. Since we had arrived at 1:00 a.m., we suffered through the few hours till morning. How can it be that a hotel on such a prime spot can be like this. There are graduations 52 weeks out of a year - this owner is sitting on a goldmine and continuing to let it go down the tube. If I had the money to buy a hotel, I'd buy this one and tear this slum down and rebuild it. What a waste both for the traveler and for the owner.

Positives: Distance to Lackland AFB.

Negatives: Everything is negative except it's distance from Lackland AFB.

This place needs a lot of upgrading and better staff. Was very disappointed especially since it was next door to the Air Force base.

Positives: The only good thing about this motel was its swimming pool.

Negatives: The restrooms were old and nasty and one of the office people was rude.

Negatives: It was very old and you could hear the neighbors above and next door.

It was a good deal, located close to our destination. The housekeeping was good, the staff friendly, and it was adequate for our needs.

Positives: It was as close to the reason we traveled without being inside our actual destination!

Negatives: The advertised high speed internet didn't work in our room.

A great location for Lack land AFB. Easy in and out of and close to places to eat. It was clean and the staff was very friendly to us. Not a 5 star hotel and we knew it going in. It worked perfect for our needs at the time we were there. Had a mini fridge and microwave and plenty of hot water. If your going to graduation at Lack land AFB it perfect place to stay for a few days.

Positives: It was close to my meeting place.

Negatives: The bathroom sink faucet didn't work well.

I was much impressed with the hotel considering the low price I received. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, continental breakfast in the morning was free, the staff was cordial and willing to help. I spent most of my day outside the room while touring the base and the city with my son, for what I needed - a nice place to sleep and a working air conditioner - this place was fantastic and would not hesitate to recommend to all.

Positives: Convenient to Air Force base, and reasonably priced.

Negatives: Outside paint was ugly.

The hotel was very dated, lime green walls, bright yellow exterior. The electrical was overloaded and would go out when getting ready in the morning. There was also a problem with the hot water, the shower would suddenly get extremely hot. The beds were comfortable and it was right beside the Air Force Base.

Positives: It was very close to Lackland AFB.

Negatives: Extension cords caused overloaded circuits and blown breaker. The shower water would suddenly get burning hot.
