9 Best hotels with a view in Kilgore, TX (2022)

Stay somewhere else! I nicknamed this hotel “Discomfort Suites” and my husband called it “Mildew Manor” The rooms (we were assigned one and switched to another) smelled musty and caused allergy symptoms Our room stayed sticky-feeling — East Texas is HUMID — but this wasn’t a problem elsewhere around town

We opened the window (it was 100 degrees out) and that made it betterIt was clean — thank you, housekeeping! — and the bed was fairly comfortable Like so many places, it seemed understaffed — we often couldn’t find someone, like to ask about breakfast issues or where to get ice (there is only one working ice machine, apparently, and it’s on the first floor) There is Wi-Fi and cable TV but no streaming on the small televisionThere is some problem with the pool and apparently a leak through the property — the downstairs conference room had a fan running to dry it out and water damage seemed to go through the whole place Our first room (on 3rd floor) smelled strongly of mildew, especially in the bathroom (nearest the hall) and the door wouldn’t close We changed rooms and noticed that in the hall by our original room and the next, the wainscoting was removed and covered with black plastic — this was on the side above the poolThe fixtures throughout our room were worn — the tiles in the bathroom were cracked all across the floor, there were stains on the couch and pink stains (mold?) on the wallpaper in the bathroom The towels were small, thin and mismatched The sink and tub had no drain covers, just holes No niceties like tissue (there was a holder for the tissue box but no tissue box) or lotion The tiles in the elevator were cracked too In the public men’s room on the first floor there was no soap and the toilet wasn’t attached to the floorWe didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel but did go down for beverages in the mornings On day 1, I grabbed a cup of orange juice and brought it up to our room I took one sip and realized it was thin yet extremely pulpy, and worst of all it was warm! A food safety hazard, not to mention gross Day 2 my husband went down to get coffee and a cup of tea, or hot water, for me There were tea bags and a vacuum dispenser marked “Hot Water,” but the water in it was cold He waited a few minutes but could not find anyone to ask about the hot water, so we wound up heating some in our in-room coffee makerThe lobby is nice and the door said it would be locked after 9 pm but it wasn’t The pool wasn’t working and online reviews say it hasn’t been since last NovemberIt looks like the hotel is usually well under $100 We paid well over $100, I suspect because it was a theater festival weekend, and it was so not worth it

Not clean door to room would not stay shut even when locked, no complimentary any thing(coffee etc)Pool not usable Please someone needs to save this place??? We recommended to relatives from out of state, they were afraid to stay there and after checking in had to change motels??

Was horrible I checked in went to grab dinner came back went up to my room and it was disgusting went back to the front and let them know they gave me another room went back up to the second room and believe it or not that one was nasty to! Asked for a refund and the woman working wanting to beat around the bush wanted to see the rooms she went and looked at them seen for herself they was not clean

Said she give a refund requested the refund but put it on hold then took the money out the bank Andy way Very frustrating very complicated And the company I was there with will not be returning and neither will I! Very disappointed
