Lovely little motel to stay at when I am in town. Had a shower issue that got resolved quickly by the staff so I didn’t end up having to switch rooms. Easy parking, room was clean.

Comfy bed and pillows. Clean but needs work. Lights in parking lot are very bright and even with curtains come through.
We went to Navasota for a dog show. Placed my reservation based on reviews. Poor choice. I could feel every spring in the mattress, refrigerator did not work but the freezer did, don't know why. The shower and tub were dirty. Floors were as if they havent been swept in a while (good thing i wear shoes all the time). The first thing i checked was the bed for bed bugs,(yes, it was that bad) there was fresh paint over duct tape in the room, especially the corners, and in the bathroom holding the fixtures up. The only thing this place has nothing of is bugs. The place needs to be condemned and start over cause it sure wasn't worth the $100 i paid for. I expect they will delete this review but it's the truth. I will sleep in my truck if their place is the inly one left.
Quick easy drive from College Station, the staff was friendly and accommodating. The room had cold, refreshing AC. The room was very clean and had all the basic necessities. It is apparent the owners are doing their best to make upgrades and make the rooms nice. I would definitely stay here again.
I had a hard time finding a room around College Station that wasn’t either ridiculously priced or had complaints about roaches / cleanliness / shady dealings on the lot. I was skeptical of this place given the price but it delivered like a motel charging double. Clean room, very friendly staff, quiet as can be and room didn’t need any updating / repairs. Got a good night's sleep here and can’t say that about most motels I've been to.
Vanguard Motel was fantastic. Sure, it's old-school, but it was super clean, crisp clean sheets, an AC that blows very cold, good internet, good television, everything worked. It even had a microwave and a minifridge to keep my drinks cold. I will definitely be back. Navasota is a small town, and this building is older, but all paint was new, room was incredibly clean, pool was sparkling, and the manager was very nice and personable.
