Motel is by Broadway. Very busy street. Has a lot of buildings surrounding it. Like whataburger, Peter piper pizza, public library, stripes, and more. They also have a pool. Beds are comfortable, and rooms are clean. Only complain is that the parking spaces are so small. Sometimes big trucks park by the entrance and the space to cross over to the other side is very narrow.
Great place but management don't seem to work with people they are rude
Walking distance to Main Street and all the downtown shops. Also, under a 10 minute walk to the beach and pier. Clean spacious rooms and comfy beds. Pool and jacuzzi are a plus. The onsite restaurant is great!
Is clean and looks good inside the room 214, I liked the shower and the beds are so comfy.
Rooms are clean, and well maintained. Swimming pool is clean and maintained as well. Service from front desk clerk was good, however english could be improved.
Renovations have definitely improved the overall experience. Rates have gone up so there may be better options for the price, so look around first for more competitive rates.
It's a motel. Clean area. Clean motel room. Comfortable bed. A/C worked great. Mini fridge was helpful. A nice place to stay. Will come again.
Not the cleanest...but it has the most spacious rooms. I love that.
This functional, low-rise motel is 2 miles from both Gladys Porter Zoo and the Children's Museum of Brownsville. It's also 6 miles from Brownsville Sports Park.
