Room was clean needs updates and repairs. It would have been nice to know it next to an open air bar before reserving a room at least the provided earplugs. Parking was not dark and not well marked. It’s okay for one night

Place is amazing! We stay every chance we get to go visit my daughter at Texas State. Perfect location to everything and you never have to get in the car and drive anywhere.

Great location, clean, good amenities. Other guests coming home in the early hours without thought about their noise level not so good.

I stayed in July during Texas State orientation and was the ONLY person in the Inn. It was a little creepy but the place is quaint and in the best location.
