The place is kitschy which I love but our room was not great. The shower/tub area sucked bc the shower liner kept attacking me while I was trying to shower so I had to put it outside the tub and water ended up all over the floor. My dad HATED the saloon doors into the bathroom sink area haha. He was not a fan of all the sharpie graffiti all over the wall but I liked it and enjoyed adding some drawings. For a super “texased” out room idk why they had sea shell bedding??? The room was meh but their restaurant next door RULES. It’s a totally ridiculous experience. They have an over the top 72oz free steak challenge on a stage w a timer, TONS of taxidermy animals, a huge rad gift shop, a carnival rifle game, a Zoltar machine, a chill back bar area, a quick bites bbq counter, and my personal favorite…this super dark “Old Sparky” art installation in the corner where you feed it a dollar and this full size man puppet strapped in an electric chair comes to life asking to borrow ur cell phone so he can call the governor and then he gets zapped over and over and is screaming lol. Also loved petting the street cats outside the steakhouse and seeing the horses in the horse hotel out back. 10/10

I would say 3 and a half stars. Probably 4 if there was hot water to shower on our night there. Clean, nice staff, etc. easy to check in and access rooms which was great because we arrived late at night with our kitties.
