Best Madisonville Hotels

My sister and I got caught in the Great Texas Ice Storm of 2021, and the increasingly dangerous driving conditions on I-45 forced us off the highway at Madisonville. We chose Quality Inn because of good previous experiences with Quality Inns in other places. We ended up having to stay there for five nights, but I honestly cannot imagine a better place to be stuck! Even when the electricity went out -- as it did all over that part of Texas -- the incredibly nice, pillowy comforters on the beds kept us toasty warm. Vidan and Suhani, the husband-and-wife management team, bent over backwards to take care of all their guests (and it was a full house!) in unprecedented, trying circumstances. There's also, conveniently, a big Buc-ee's right across the street, where we could get food, drink, and other necessities -- at least when they had electricity and were open! Both management and housekeeping personnel at this Quality Inn really went the extra mile for us in a difficult time, and we are very grateful that that's where we ended up!

Whatever they use to clean this place is noxious. Smells like they wallpapered the room with those Christmas tree car fresheners. Or maybe they didn’t clean it and just dumped a bottle of Febreeze? . Don’t trust the pictures, the place is old and in desperate need of an update. Staff is nice, but that is about the end of it. We checked in late or we would never have stayed last night. Lots of noise, walls are thin. An old cat patrols outside, wailing and whining all night. Seriously, I don’t mean to sound bitter but I didn’t shop well and didn’t sleep at all. The price is cheap in price but not worth it. I was just assuming that one of these hotels was as good as the others, but I was wrong. I’m literally sitting in the bed of the room right now as my wife books a different place for tonight. I doubt this hotel will refund us, but we don’t care. Try the Hampton Inns and Suites. It looks much better.
