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.

This is a wonderful property compared to the chain hotels found locally. I was very pleased with staff and the very comfortable bed. My only disappointment is that the AC was off on my arrival and off again during the day while we were away coming back again to a very hot room. I understand trying to be thrifty but in Texas heat even in the fall a nice cool room when you arrive back from working outside all day is preferable to one that must take a couple hours to cool down.

Hidden Gem of Navasota

We stay here when we come to town for Texas Renaissance Festival. It is a hidden gem, the bed and pillows are amazing, and the owners remembered me from the last time!

Quiet, clean, affordable

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 stayed here in March and was pleasantly surprised. Charlie and his wife are so nice and accommodating. I told them that I’ll be staying here every time I come to Navasota which is once a month. I’ve already booked my room for April. They are in a great location from downtown. Rooms are clean, the A/C is cold, and linens are clean.

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.

Nice, Quiet, and Comfortable

The stay was great. Although one previous review mentioned lots of road noise, we did not hear any. Everything was in good working order with no complaints at all. After seeing that there were either none or very few rooms available when we booked, only about half the rooms were occupied during our two day stay.

Fun blast from the past

This hotel ahould be marketed as vintage, classic or nostalgic for us Gen Xers. It is clean, safe, maintained, has good water pressure and a value price. This is exactly like what we would have expected in the 70s or 80s on a family road trip and would have loved. Although older, this felt like a safe motel...not a place that was sketchy or with sketch clientle. That said, two beds in the room was cramped for space, but it was ok. This was a fun classic place. If I owned the place, I'd probably put in some kitchy palm 🌴 or neon flamingos and play up that aspect. Now....if you want the newest, latest, greates or modern hotel, you will be very disappointed. If you want a budget friendly functional stop for a night or two, it's worth a stop.

The room was very clean and the staff were polite. The WiFi, room key, and TV all did not work. If you don’t know the area (like us), it is next to a very busy and very loud street with no sidewalks. We likely won’t stay here again.

Mostly good needs maintenance attention

Not worthy of 5 stars, There are maintenance and upkeep that needs to take place. Some wall repairs were just taped over, some were painted over the tape some were just black tape. You could not turn the water on for just the bath tub the knob only allowed the shower to turn on ... but the shower had amazing water pressure. The light by the ice machine had a constant flicker (bad ballast?). Our room was tight, but adequate for us. The bed was comfortable, parking seemed ackward for our corner room, but no one else was in rooms near us so it worked! The cost was well below other places around. We would consider staying here again if ever back in the area.

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.
