The unattended barking dogs in the room next door helped drown out the loud sound of the highway, which leaves me unable to recommend the Loud Texan!

Freeway noise was unbearable, no phone in the rooms. Office isn't manned at night or early morning. Unwanted wake up text at 7am telling you how to check out for the fifth time. Then a follow up text at 7:05am telling you the same thing. Will tell you they didn't get your special needs message even though all your other reservations through Expedia got them. In 74 years of traveling this was the worst stay ever.

Spotless room, puppy friendly, great water pressure (I know that’s a weird thing to mention but after a long day on the road I appreciated being able to SCRUB DOWN). Also love the kitsch factor of the little town they have set up and the convenience of the restaurant and brewery! What a great reprieve.

Of all the hotels I've stayed in that cost over $100 a night, this was the one I'd least like to remember. There was no service from the staff, and I just wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
