Good little spot right off the main Highway with lots of dining /restaurants around. A tad expensive for the room and amenities but used my hotels.com cash to cut the price.

Nice place to stay while visiting family in Ennis. Convenient location to several options for food that are within walking distance and close to downtown and easy access to the highway, The only issue I faced was that the ice machines were out of ice.
