For a Texas experience the Big Texan can't be beat - it is unique and fun. We were very happy with our stay at the hotel which was clean and comfortable. It was convenient to be able to walk over to the restaurant for dinner. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Close to Palo Duro Canyon for hiking!
