Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the motel. On one hand, the quirky western decor and proximity to the Big Texan Steakhouse made for a fun stay. However, the cleanliness and upkeep left something to be desired, as the room had some maintenance issues. The service was efficient, though lacking a personal touch, and the overall value was decent considering the unique theme.
