This joint's a solid pick for the area - it's got that Southern charm, although the beds are as firm as a Texan handshake.
Now, let's talk views. Opt for the BAYVIEW, unless you're into the whole "pool/garden" illusion. My room claimed to have a garden (think more like a teeny tiny plant corner), and from my third-floor vantage point, I had front-row seats to a pothole spectacular, a few restaurants, and a neon sign screaming "GUNS" across the street. Not quite the tropical oasis I had in mind. Pro tip: If you're set on the pool/garden view, snag a first-floor spot, or prepare to be underwhelmed.
But hey, the continental breakfast is a shining star and you can even make your own Texas shaped waffle. The hotel staff is very, very kind and nice.
