2. I really have nothing negative to say about the hotel, which definitely has the most 'Texas character' of any nice hotel in town.

"Had a great stay - but make sure you get the right class of room " Read full review on TripAdvisor 10/14/2011 Vote

3. I didn't quite understand at first why I liked my room so much but after a week I got it more - there was one feature wall with textured wallpaper that made the room 'deeper + richer' and the carpet had an amazing pattern where the negative spaces were rougher than the positive spaces.

8. I am certain that many of the negative visits listed here begun with bad service at the front desk and went down hill from there.
