Fantastic stay
Pros:

Our stay was great. We were there as a stop on a longer trip. We stayed two nights. We were less than 5 minutes from the Magnolia Market an Magnolia Table. They also had a beautiful park (Cameron Park). It had lots of unique bronze statute of animals. There were also full sized statues of horses, cows, and cowboys along the road in town. It looked like a cattle drive. Very cool to see. All of this was within 2 miles if our hotel. The staff was great. The room was really nice, plenty of outlets for all our electronics and comfortable sofa and desk chair. Very efficient check in and check out. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area.
