The hotel was clean and the staff were all exceptionally friendly which is a rarity and especially at a Best Western. We stayed here for a family weekend as it was the closest we could get to Tarleton and we were very pleasantly surprised. The only down side is there’s no coffee makers in the room but they have coffee downstairs available any time. We would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was in a great location, close to Dinosaur Valley State Park and Fossil Rim. The staff was pretty helpful. Breakfast was great! The rooms are very dated and need some TLC, but are clean. The AC was a bit noisy at night, but was cool. The breakfast was great!
