Because of the region's relatively recent growth spurt, the majority of hotels that hustled in to fill the need are of the national chain variety. Each major town in South Texas typically has one historic or grand hotel and one or two notable bed-and-breakfasts, if you're looking for a more original experience.
Opened in early 2013, this four-story hotel is making a big splash with comfort and convenience for business and leisure travelers alike. With an on-site pool, fitness center, business center, and laundry, it's a good choice for extended stays, too. Each room is furnished with a wet bar and an oversized, corner sleeper sofa in the living area, which is separated from the sleeping area by a partial privacy wall. White-noise machines are available on request.
