Weslaco Inn — Hotel in Weslaco

I would have given this place a 4 or even 5 star rating because the room overall, was very nice for the original price he quoted us. Nice large beds, clean linens, nice large t.v. and fridge, tile floors, except each time the price was being discussed it would jumped up anywhere between $10-$20 and even after we informed him we have my friend's service dog, once we actually got there he said that we were to leave a credit card on file because of the dog for a $50 deposit, BUT he did not tell us this until he had already made the charges and brought the card back (he is a service animal, very very well behaved, so we didnt have any problem leaving a card on file because we knew that the dog wouldnt cause a mess what so ever) oh and also had to pay $10 per night that we had our animal with is in the room. So in the end, ended up costing us double the price we were originally quoted. Being around 5 am, after driving 13 hours, we were desperate to find a place to lay our heads, so when he came back with the card and the total he ended up charging us wasn't discussed until he brought the card back to us after the had made all the additional prices At 11:04 on the day we were to check out I called and asked if we could get a 12pm check out because we were moving slow. Around 11:15-11:20 my friend had a severe seizure (the worst one I had ever seen him have in the 7 years I've known him, luckily the dog alerted us or he would had busted his head open in the bathroom area. We got him to the ground with a thin pillow under his head and was waiting for him to come out of it (unless he continued to behave this way for more than 5 minutes, at which point we would have called 911) not only were going through a very traumatic experience but even before our noon check out was up and right in the middle of my friends seizure (30 minutes before it was time to go) he the owner or manager had called and was being rude. Told me I needed to call an ambulance and let me tell you, if him or myself (I also have seizures) called and ambulance every time we had a seizure we would spend half of our lives in an ambulance/hospital. When I tried to explain to him exactly what happened he told me he was going to have to charge me and additional night if we were not out of there by 12pm. We ended up being able to get my friend up and around from his seizure enough for him to walk to the car at around 12:07 (I remember looking at the time as we were walking out of the room) But for this guy to tell me he didnt care if my friend was having seizure or not and he needed to rent out his rooms ( our first sign should have been when we called him and he and he said he had plenty of rooms left when everywhere ekse in town was packed with first responders) that he was going to have go charge us no matter what (mind you, the house keepers where right there and actually witnessed the seizure happening) he still ended up charging us. While I was on the phone with this man, fighting back the tears, shaking, and doing my best to explain everything he was being cruel and cold hearted. Trust me, we were just as ready to get out of of there as he was to get us out of there. So if you want a decent place to stay and like to gamble this is...

For the price this is a great price. I am not saying this is a 5 star hotel - it is not - however for $50 a night my room was very clean, spacious and came with amenities that you normally do not find in hotels at this price. I had a nice size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffee pot, ironing board and iron, hair dryer. I have stayed here 3 times now and each time I have had a pleasant experience. The shower has containers filled with shampoo, conditioner and body wash as opposed to those small bottles. There is also a dispenser of hand soap by the sink. The breakfast is nothing to write home about but I normally just grab an apple of banana. If you have a lot of kids and a huge breakfast option is important this may not be the right place to stay. You might be better spending $90 - $100 a night at a Holiday Inn or nicer hotel that provides a full service breakfast for free. (I remember traveling with 4 kids and eating breakfast at an IHOP could get expensive so paying extra for the hotel was worth it) But being a solo traveler I no longer need all those extras. I just want a clean room I feel safe at and this hotel is perfect. It is also just seconds from the freeway to the international bridge to Mexico. My one recommendation would be to bring extra PILLOWS. That was my only complaint - they only provide 2 pillows and they were not the best. I now take a few extra pillows when I travel here. Again this is in NO way a 5 star hotel - but I paid $90 one time to stay at the La Copa Inn by the Rio Grande Valley outlet mall and that hotel was just downright nasty and gross and their breakfast was about the same. Save some money and stay here. Also the staff was very friendly. I have arrived in the afternoon and late late evening and they were always very nice...
