Vanguard Motel

Ac worked great parking was great

This is a wonderful property compared to the chain hotels found locally. I was very pleased with staff and the very comfortable bed. My only disappointment is that the AC was off on my arrival and off again during the day while we were away coming back again to a very hot room. I understand trying to be thrifty but in Texas heat even in the fall a nice cool room when you arrive back from working outside all day is preferable to one that must take a couple hours to cool down.

The price is not worth staying there

I wanted to book a nicer hotel, but my other half wanted something closer to the venue where we would be going. Very old motel. My other half is a bath person, but she was unable to take a bath because inly the shower worked. The shower head was not adjustable and was pointed directly towards the inside corner of the tub causing the water to then run down along the edge right onto the floor. The deadbolt did not line up right in the door so we relied on the door itself and the chain for security. We didn't worry too much about security as we were 2 of maybe 5 other guests staying here. It was cheap. It worked for our needs

Bed comfortable

This hotel ahould be marketed as vintage, classic or nostalgic for us Gen Xers. It is clean, safe, maintained, has good water pressure and a value price. This is exactly like what we would have expected in the 70s or 80s on a family road trip and would have loved. Although older, this felt like a safe motel...not a place that was sketchy or with sketch clientle. That said, two beds in the room was cramped for space, but it was ok. This was a fun classic place. If I owned the place, I'd probably put in some kitchy palm 🌴 or neon flamingos and play up that aspect. Now....if you want the newest, latest, greates or modern hotel, you will be very disappointed. If you want a budget friendly functional stop for a night or two, it's worth a stop.

Lovely little motel to stay at when I am in town. Had a shower issue that got resolved quickly by the staff so I didn’t end up having to switch rooms. Easy parking, room was clean.

Comfy bed and pillows. Clean but needs work. Lights in parking lot are very bright and even with curtains come through.

Frequent train noise; thin walls, could hear neighbors talking; very dated: paid for two nights, left after one night!

Gas station lights shine through the windows and blinds that won't close all the way. Clean, cute and comfy.
