Sleep Inn & Suites

My room at the Sleep Inn Ingleside was infested with gnats/flies. Dead and swarming bugs covered entire walls of the room. There was a strong odor of (ineffective) insecticide-- itself concerning. The front desk agent said they were aware of the issue in some rooms, and no other rooms were available. They should never have rented this room or, at the very least, warned guests. Otherwise, the public areas were well maintained, but the room had a lot of wear and tear. The location is next to a few other hotels in an unattractive industrial area. The breakfast was okay. I stayed in several Choice and competitor hotels in Texas during this trip, and this was by far the worst.

This property is very nice. It is clean, the staff is courteous and accommodating. Upon arriving I thought I would ask to be upgraded to a suite knowing that is a for sure way to score a king size bed. Hah! they had already booked me into a suite. Bonus! The only con was no ice machine on the 2nd floor only on the 1st and 3rd. The breakfast wasn't great until I discovered the sausage, egg and cheese and bacon, egg and cheese biscuits. These were good and hit the spot. I have stayed in many Sleep Inns in Texas and they are always great properties. This one in Ingleside was the best so far.

I am a stand-up comedian of over twenty-five years experience and I was doing a show this past weekend in Port Aransas, TX. I was looking for a room for the night nearby and I found the Sleep Inn & Suites in Ingleside, TX. And all I can say is, "Wow!" There are a number of hotels in the area, but I'm so glad I found this one. You walk through the front door of the lobby and immediately get a taste of everything the Sleep Inn & Suites has to offer. Across from the front desk, you see the large dining area where they offer their free fantastic breakfast. You can also see their impressive workout room as well as signs that point to their other amenities like an outdoor pool, laundry room and business center. A fax and copy machine are also available. I was only their for one night and wished I had more time to take advantage of everything this place had to offer. The room was really beautifully designed with plenty of room for luggage and still space to move around comfortably. A large bathroom, such a plus, that offers all the bells and whistles a weary travelers is looking for. All these things by themselves would be enough for a five star review. But here is where the Sleep Inn & Suites goes above and beyond. When I entered the room I found bottles of water and snacks waiting for me. But there was also a hand written note from Karen. She is the Operations Manager at the Sleep Inn & Suites and also the woman I spoke with when I booked the room. While on the phone I mentioned I was a comedian and in town for a show. The note from Karen read... "Welcome! Hope the show is great! Enjoy your stay! Karen" As I guy who spends a great deal of time living out of a suitcase, I can not tell you just how much something like that is appreciated. As a person who makes his living talking for a living, I don't often say this. But I was speechless. Thank you Karen, your staff and Sleep Inn & Suites.
