Tex’s Sports Bar - Like Texas, the hotel’s sports bar is roomy, with plenty of TVs. The room is decorated with an interesting collection of sports memorabilia, including jerseys, antique sports equipment, and trophies.  

Amenity highlights: Guests enjoy a sunny courtyard and pool area surrounded by Southern botanicals, and a fitness center, spa tub, sauna, and two putting greens. The hotel has a full business center, pool-view meeting rooms, self-serve laundry facility, and free parking. The restaurant provides all three meals and 24-hour room service; the gift and sundries shop is well-stocked. The complimentary airport shuttle operates around the clock.

Insider tip: Right outside Tex’s Sports Bar is a small gallery of black-and-white historical photos that purport to tell the life story of Tex himself—an entrepreneur and Texas pioneer who braved the frontier to bring good cookin’ to Texas. True story or tall Texas tale, it’s a fun fable and the photography and artifacts are museum-quality.
