Luxe Roadside Gem in a Restored Texaco Station
Oodles of vintage charm, wicked fast Wi-Fi, and a mattress so comfy you won’t want to check out.

With a 24-hour mart across the street (Coffey Anderson even gave a concert in the parking lot), groceries 5 minutes away, and Tex-Mex close by, our spot is well-edited, design-forward and just off the beaten path without being out of reach.

Very unique. Comfortable. Might be considered excellent IF a lot less noise from the highway and train track. Also, found nothing to make ice nor did we have any kind of bath soap. Might suggest a hook for towel right next to shower.
