Wheeler Inn Texas, US - 83 By OYO

We were delighted by this small hotel. Although the building is old, the room was clean and comfy, a pleasant surprise.

The highlight of the one night stay was Kim's Diner next door. Definitely recommend it for good home cooked food & great service! Arrived at 7:30 Sunday evening. Sign on door gave a number to call "Ben" to check in. Called & no answer. Sign also said to go Conoco Station ( closed) or the Speedy something gas station to check in. Decided to go to Kim's & eat as they were still open and ask about check in there. Waitress told me to go to Speedy gas station as same person owned it & ask there. Family at next table overheard me ask & said that there was a "real" motel nearby ( Best Western) that I should stay in. I'd already paid for room when I booked thru Hotel.com so decided to change it IF I could find someone to let me in. The young man at Speedy was very nice & in fact pulled up my reservation on computer. After "checking in" with him, he told me to go back to motel & someone would meet me to let me in. At this point I would have just laughed it off as a quirky road trip experience, as I hadn't seen room yet. Just like he said, as soon as I pulled back in a lady suddenly appeared (out of room 1 I think) and said, " let me check it to make sure it's ready". She came back out and gave me a key to room 4. Unlocked door and had to shove on it 3 times to get it open due to carpet being torn under it and getting all wadded up. Window AC was off & probably 90 degrees inside, no wash cloths, no plastic cups or top sheet on bed. TV wouldn't work, stains on walls & ceiling, etc

The rooms need a little more cleaning

Will be back if in town

Kind of old, but clean and comfortable!

Extremely friendly staff!

I had a great stay

The carpet was dirty, shower tile ledge was falling apart, super basic room. But, the bed was comfortable and clean, the location is quiet, the heater worked well, and plenty of hot water

This motel does not match the pictures taken. It is dingy and dark. We rested a few hours here and went on our way instead of staying through the night. It felt unsafe. The tv only had pay-per-view pornography and sports options. Nothing about the space felt clean or welcoming.
