OYO Hotel Three Rivers TX US-281

It was okay clean quite place no one bothered you out there just the lady that answered the phone she was kinda of rude instead of treating u right since we got the room there should had been polite

We needed a room for one night, and preferred not to spend too much money since only there to sleep; but definitely required a clean room and comfortable bed. We were very happy with our room and stay in these apparently recently updated rooms. Online, they didn't appear to have any non-smoking rooms left so I called. Raj was very helpful and told me they had one room that was officially smoking but they kept it as a "Semi-smoking" and minimally rented it to smokers. He said I was free to come by and they would show me the room to let me decide for myself. I very much appreciated that offer and did take him up on it because we cannot handle too much smoke smell. They took me to the room and it only faintly smelled of smoke and the room looked quite clean so we booked it. Not sure about all the rooms, but our room was clearly remodeled somewhat recently and looked quite nice. The bed was comfy and linens were clean. (I could see one very small stain on the white bedding but that doesn't bother me when it's obviously clean). I loved the laminate flooring, as the carpet in all hotels makes me very nervous not knowing how clean it actually is (and usually very dirty!). This is an old motel right off the highway, so can hear some highway traffic but not at all a problem for sleeping; just general noise and nothing disruptive (like trains or emergency vehicles we've encountered in some areas and now a required ask to avoid, after lessons learned!) The room had a small microwave and fridge, but we didn't use it. This place does not offer breakfast but for the price we paid, I didn't expect it. We could have paid $25+ at another hotel if that was important to us, but we would rather have the inexpensive good room and go eat at a local place down the road for our $ and better than any hotel breakfast. I never understand why people complain about not having a breakfast or other amenities when the price of the room is so low compared to places with those offerings. Just pay more somewhere else if you want more amenities. For us, we gave this place 5 stars for the price we paid. They exceeded our expectations for the amount we paid. I haven't given a rewiew on TA for a long time but felt compelled to give a current one for this place given a couple of other bad reviews and complaints.

This is definitely a tear down. You could see outside with door with it locked, litter outside, no ice machine, non existent breakfast (embarrassing brown bag to go breakfast), security latch missing, red stains around bathroom, fridge damaged, freezer full of frost, loose wall plates, etc. The only redeeming part of the stay was a fairly decent bed and a large TV. The whole area outside was unkept. Deserves a rating of zero. Priceline rated this hotel which is a motel at 2 1/2 Stars, it was nowhere near that. Definitely don’t stay here, and don’t do a 2 1/2 Star Express deal on Priceline in Three Rivers as you will get this dump.
