Staff was super nice! Very helpful with all my questions or concerns. Was a little nervous as a solo female traveler and lots of contract workers in and out of the hotel but did not encounter any issues.

My boyfriend and I tried to get a room at the Ennis location this morning so we could look at homes in the area. He drove down from Dallas, and sadly we were denied service because my address “was too close.”
