My stay met my minimum needs of: 1) safety for myself and my motorcycle; 2) overall quiet within the motel and outside surrounding area; and 3) working A/C, TV, and shower. I liked how soap and shampoo dispensers were installed above the bathroom sink and in the shower vs. having those tiny packaged soaps and shampoos. My room and beds were clean with no live bugs anywhere. The one thing I disliked was no vending machine -- all the front desk offered was bottled water for $1/each. They said it was because a Circle K gas station opened up across the street, which didn't make sense to me. All that considered, I would stay here again (and BYOD--Bring Your Own Drinks).

Zero amenities. No coffee pot, no bars of soap, no Kleenex, no room service. Very basic, if you want a clean towel take yours down to the registration desk. Not what I am used to or what I expected

lots of parking; room is clean; A/C works well; ice available; no coffee is disappointing...can walk to gas station store although there is no sidewalk and traffic is speeding off the highway so walking on the street is dangerous.
best price in town for a safe, clean, roomy hotel room.

Inconsiderate to guests

I was charged for each of my 2 kids even though it didn't change anything about the room, we got a room with 2 queen beds which sleeps 4 (me, my husband and my 2 kids) i had already paid online and when i got there they charged me $20-$10 ea for the kids. The room sleeps 4 yet there was only 2 towels, no wash cloths and no toilet paper. i also booked a 2nd room for my sister, who was going to watch my kids while i ran some necessary errands the next morning and they put her in a room on the other side of the building, i asked if they were near eachother and they lady said unfortunately no but they're both on the same floor, no effort in putting us close to eachother since they were booked together by me from my acct ... the pool was dirty, i literally cleaned it MYSELF with MY OWN net because my son really wanted to get in and we were told my sister's guest could not get in the pool unless the were registered with her room which meant we had to pay for them as an extra person, when he wasn't gonna stay the night, he was just visiting her... then we asked for a late check out, just an extra 30 min cuz we just wanted to eat before we left and i had just got back from running the errands i needed to and it was 25min til checkout, well they denied the request! And said we'd be charged another night if we didn't check out on time, every hotel I've EVER been to does a courtesy late check out when requested annnddd they give us an hour yet here they couldn't even give us 30 min SMH

I will get straight to the point on this review the staff was very accommodating in providing us another room when we reported a plumbing issue water shooting out of the back side of the shower head and wall damage that was present, as well as tile damage on the floor which was a safety hazard for cutting feet but promptly put us to another room. The property pool had no skimmer to use had mounds of debris at the bottom and floating on top of the water so we could not swim. At night crickets are either in the soffits or addicts and they're very loud so all you hear is crickets chirping in your room. Other than that was a room and a place to sleep or try to sleep

Lone Star Inn is located not far from the highway, however it is a very quiet oasis from excessive residual automotive noises.
It looks like a relatively new renovation...for example...no nasty carpeting...large flat screen TV...newly painted.

Upon arrival at midnight we had to speak through a broken window via microphone to the desk clerk or manager. Never once allowed into the cool lobby that was pictured in the advertisement. After showing ID and giving credit card we were given our keys to our rooms through the slot in the window and instructed to go upstairs to our rooms. When we got there there were no bath towels. The rooms seemed clean but all the dirt was behind the beds. The drawers were filthy and needed to be wiped out before you could put your clothes away. Went back downstairs to request towels. The next day we wanted to try out the pool. The water was warm and filthy. The area around the pool had not been cleaned in years . No lounge chairs to lay on to town just chairs to sit on. Our sister who lived in town was not allowed to come and sit with us at the pool. I think they just did not want outside people to see the conditions of this property. They accused us of having a third person in this room when she was only the person driving us as we were there to visit her. I have never experienced being accused and not once did they apologize for the dirty room, lack of towels, the lack of hospitality greeting their guests through a broken glass outside in the middle of the night. I would never recommend anyone stay at this property. This is my first bad review I have ever left after a vacation and I am 61 years old. May I add I have traveled the world. No way to spend your vacation.

Stay was fine, but when we entered the room, the A/C was completely off. It was hot as heck! The shower made this uncanny high pitched noise that wouldn’t stop until the water was shut off. Other than that, my stay was fine once the room cooled off.

Not a Happy Camper

Great clean rooms pool clean sparking water
Upon arrival I had one of my employees bring me a document that I needed since I run the San Benito bus shop. I recieved a call from the front desk asking me how many are staying in the room? I the answered the clerk 2 . He then advised me that he is seeing 3 persons and that I was going to be charged 10 extra dollars for the 3rd person. I then answered you got to be kidding she is only stopping by to bring me a document and is visiting and helping us get our luggage down his comment I will have to report it and charge you. I felt extremely uncomfortable and thought this was very unprofessional getting treated like if we were criminals and are doing something against the law or hotel rules which we were not.

Pictures on this app were not even close to reality. If they didnt charge more then other hotels around the same area and were upfront about the motel, it would be one thing... but ur better off going down the road to a super 8 or something else. Staff was friendly and even the maids were incredible, but the hotel needs a lot of work to be worth it.
