What guests think

Reviews of Contessa Inn describe a budget stay with mixed experiences: recurring reports of roaches and dirty conditions contrast with several notes of clean rooms and low prices that suit quick, no-frills overnights.

Service feedback ranges from kind, accommodating staff to unresponsive or rude front-desk interactions and delays getting help at night. Rooms show mixed upkeep, with recurring maintenance issues noted—limited hot water, leaking AC, problem TVs, weak refrigerators, and unreliable Wi-Fi—and occasional noise from other guests. Some reviewers mention a convenient location. Quality varies notably by room and stay date.

Original room booked we were unable to stay in but they accommodated us and moved us to a new room, beds are comfortable, tvs are decent sized, unfortunately no breakfast or pool in the Texas heat but that’s okay. The staff is wonderful and very understanding

If you’re looking for a place to get a nights sleep and nothing more than this motel will work. Seemed like quite a few of the rooms have become peoples homes. If you are traveling with your family I would definitely recommend staying somewhere else.

Great little kitchenette with a full sized fridge. I only wish they provided a coffe maker. Our room faced the courtyard, which was very clean and pretty, and we got to watch the resident cats playing in the grass. It was not a luxurious room, by all means, but it was a great price, comfortable, and clean. The shower had excellent hot water and water pressure. Check-in was ready, and the staff was very polite and friendly.

The facility was clean. There were no kitchen appliances or utensils or hair dryer provided. Given the demographics of the tenants, it is understandable. For the price range and location, this hotel served my needs and I am satisfied with my stay.

The room was very dirty. The whole bathroom was very nasty. The door is covered in filth, I killed roaches in the bathtub, the toilet was gross. The bed was nice but the dresser next to it had some gross stuff dripped down it.

The room itself was fine, but next time you have roaches please make sure you pick up the dead ones. And the area was nice and the other guest were playing loud music and hanging around it just remind me of a bad neighborhood.

I checked into my room at the Contessa Inn in Longview and immediately noticed roaches and other bugs crawling throughout the room. The infestation became even worse when the lights were turned off, with bugs visible on the floors and walls. The room was unsanitary and uninhabitable, and I did not feel safe staying there. I have photos documenting the issue. I am requesting a full refund due to these unacceptable conditions.

I came in late at night after working and fell into a comfortable bed. Slept until 10ish and left. I wasn't able to get a good feel of the amenities. But it was a good price, very convenient and clean with a bed that put me right to sleep. I would stay there again and will recommend it to my friends.

TVs are outdated, has barely any channels, can barely watch because of static. So I wanted to watch from laptop but could not keep a steady connection on WiFi to stream anything. Roaches crawling around everywhere. It may be one of the cheapest room you can find but not worth it

Personel were very friendly and pleasant. The Tv in my room would turn itself off. Longest it stayed on was just over 20 min. It would shut off at 1 min, 2min 30 sec...it was random and annoying. Maintenance did come by and of course it never did it. Could use some updating; floor pieces were buckled, obvious water damage on the ceiling, bathroom door was needing replaced, and the bed was too soft for my taste as well as the pillows. It was fine for 1 night, especially for the price.

First room the phone didnt work floor was disgusting bloody underwear under the sink in the "kitchen " area...... 2nd room well at least there isnt bloody staind underwear... Absolutely neither tv gets but maybe 3 or 4 channels. And they apparently dont provide ashtrays FOR THEIR SMOKING ROOMS. I GET THIS IS A VERY LOW OF THE TOTEM POLE MOTEL BUT HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO HAVE A BETTER PLACE IF THINGS ARE THIS WAY. NOT TO MENTION THE 1ST NIGHT THE SHOWER DIDJG EVEN WORK CORRECTLY. AND LAST NIGHT THE PARTY BEING THROWN DOWN STAIRS AND DOWN THE HALL WITH LOUD MUSIC AND PEOPLE BEING LOUD. I HONESTLY WANT MY MONEY BACK NO SLEEP THIS WAS HORRIBLE
