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.

Great place to stay. Enjoyed the throwback still motel with great water pressure in the shower. Definitely would stay again if we ever get back that way again.

Gas station lights shine through the windows and blinds that won't close all the way. Clean, cute and comfy.

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.

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.

Awesome hidden gem!

I've stayed here twice for business in Bryan, and I've had great experiences both times. Very clean room with comfortable beds. The owner, Charlie, is super friendly and accommodating. If you are looking for a nice, quiet spot to stay just outside of College Station, I highly recommend Vanguard.

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.

Small, clean property. Friendly staff. Bed was comfortable and so were pillows. Room was small, but we were fine with that. Looks like it was recently remodeled. Appreciated the assigned parking spot to our room as it was storming when we arrived.
