Stayed for new student conference A&M

Property was close in proximity to the cruise ports, A&M, The Strand and and good food. Cute place. Close attention to detail and lovely beds. Cutely decorated. Water and pizza (for purchse) was lovely after a long, stressful day. The beds were very comfortable, the AC units kept all of the spaces very cool. The neighborhood was fairly quiet except the last night we stayed. There was a brawl outside the door on the street complete with probably 20 people, cars sideways in the street, lots of yelling and pushing. It was a little scary having traveled alone with my son.Host was very responsive and helful with any issues I had. I would stay again.
