Quiet locale situated less than a 10-min drive from downtown.

Tranquil, modern space just outside downtown Carthage.

Rooms are basic but have what you need for the (k)night.

Right off Loop 281; just steps from eating, shopping then plopping (on these heavenly beds).

Free WiFi’s a perk everyone can appreciate.

The outdoor pool is a Texas must. Adjust your goggles and water wings, and you should be all set!

Hotel pool hits the spot when you need to cool off or swim it out.

Tucked away in the ‘burbs but not far from the oh-so-charming downtown Kilgore (shops & restos await).

Free Bright Side Breakfast lives up to its chirpy name. Nothing like waffles to put you in a good mood.

Get your antiquing on in nearby Jefferson, or hit up the Starr Family State Historical Site. James Starr helped lay out the city of Austin(!).

Nothing like a good ol' fashioned game of Marco Polo in the pool.

Buttery biscuits & gooey cinnamon rolls top our list of free breakfast eats.

Wait, whaaa?! Full, hot breakfast buffet? Every day? On the house? Yes, yep and affirmative.

Chic suites have full kitchens so you can whip up your own meals.

Nearby Tyler Rose Garden is the world’s largest.
