What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The manager Mary is what makes this place what it is she is so on top of everything as well as being such a delight she definitely will have my business next time I need a room”
“This is my favorite place to stay when I am in the city when you factor everything into the equation. They don't have the best of anything rooms , amenities, location but the thing they do have is the best manager of a hotel in all of Texas . Mrs Mary she is one of the best people I have meant since I moved from Boston to texas 15 years ago. Mary bring everything together when you go to pay and it's at most 50 bucks on the weekend and either 40 or 45 on weekdays. Then you factor in your a 10 minute drive downtown. Your rite next to the cap metro terminal. Mary makes it feel like your st”
“The rooms need alot of work, but it's cheap daily or weekly and there is always someone available at the window, Location is great for commuters of CapMetro. Most importantly it's a quiet place where you can get some decent sleep and no riff raff roaming after hours. I found it very safe.”
“Awesome little hole in the wall. Real quite, everyone is respectful and rooms are fairly clean. NOW, My pillow and pillow case stunk really bad so I didn't have it on the bed. Luckly I had my own pillow. They need to wash everything in the room once checked out. I love Mel's and am really comfortable there!!!!”
