I needed a place for a 13 week contract in the area. Initially, I only booked for one week, just in case it was miserable. It was quite the opposite!||While the buildings are not new, they are well kept, though the parking lot can be a little rough (but then, so are the streets in Mexia!).||The pool is beautiful, clean and crystal clear! It was opened when it got hot even though it was "before dates".||Nimesh and his family are friendly and helpful, quickly addressing any concerns and frequently seen outside cleaning and doing maintenance.||There is a washer ($2.00) and dryer ($1.50) on site as an alternative to the nice laundromat just a few blocks down Palestine St.||The Drillin' Rig Restaurant sits between the motel and the highway providing a bit of privacy and noise reduction as well as good food at a reasonable price.||My room came equipped with a microwave and full size refrigerator. I'm fussy about my coffee, so brought my own coffee maker and supplies.||Many of the guests here are long term, contract workers who return year after year. As a single female, I have felt safe to sit with my door open and my motorcycle has never been messed with. Nimesh also rides, so I would say this is a motorcycle friendly place!||I would definitely stay here again!||BTW: Both smoking and non-smoking rooms...
Read moreWe were looking for an inexpensive room for a quick overnight while visiting a lodge nearby. There are several hotels with close names (Mexia Inn, Inn at Mexia, etc). This one is located at 600 W. Palestine Street. When we drove up some questionable people were just loitering around the parking lot and were watching us unload, etc, into our room. We opened our room on the first floor (room #129) and it was dirty. There were dead and alive flies (at least 10) in the window on the inside. It was hard to tell if the sheets were dirty or stained from a lot of various fluids...and the bathroom smelled horrible. I am good with la quinta or some of the less "fancy" and economical rooms but this was terrible. We booked on Priceline but were charged on arrival before we saw the room. We feared for our safety and it truly was an uninhabitable room. The lady running the hotel/desk was very sweet and tried to put us in another room. However, nothing would have made this hotel better. We ended up across the street at the Holiday Inn (now Comfort suites) which was $40 more but worth it. Save yourself the hassle and do...
Read moreI work per diem in Mexia and have stayed here half a dozen times over the past three years, from a couple of nights to a couple of months. Yes, the buildings are older and have a few "wrinkles". The main thing is that any issue I've ever encountered (from furniture to appliances) has been promptly addressed and corrected! The care that goes into this property is reflected in the very clean and well maintained swimming pool, absolutely awesome and very appreciated!|The family is very friendly and accommodating. A plus (in my book) is that as riders themselves, they are motorcycle friendly. I will continue coming here any time I'm in town. For the best rates, book directly with the office. |I frequently travel and have stayed in several motels in this price range around the country, including corporate facilities. This is one...
