  Habitat Suites rocks for multiple reasons:
  1.Green, green, green. The most sustainable, amazingly conscious hotel I have ever stayed at and they have been that way before it seemed important.
  2. Great suites, one and two bedroom with kitchen, which let's me cook when I want, which saves me money and is more healthy.
  3. The grounds are gorgeous! Fig trees bursting with ripe figs, native landscaping, lovely pool and hot tub not overloaded with chlorine. Could use some aesthetic work, but water is clean. Truly an oasis along I-35.
  4. Free Breakfast and happy hour. Great breakfast where you can get hearty whole grain cereal, or bacon and eggs. Starbucks coffee, Tazo tea and regularly stocked black tea from China. Offer Sucanat, not just sugar. Even udon noodle soup for Asian travelers.
  5. Staff is great, but they are light staffed on weekends, so just be aware.
  
  Cons:
  Location is odd, but the access to I-35 is relatively easy if you use St. John's exit. Yes, Sugar's in next door. Ignoring it is easy. Highland Mall is not a destination of any kind, so hop on the highway to shop elsewhere. Also,it is an older hotel, so furniture is dated to early 90's. Could use a fashion update in the rooms, but otherwise clean.
  
  I've stayed here and family has stayed here multiple times. I actually lived here 30 days after a house fire and loved it.
