Good place for a Texas Experience
By Elwood, 07/26/07
The stockyards hotel is one of those places you want to experience at least once. My wife and I stayed here for a two night stay in June '07 and back again for a three night stay in July. We chose the stockyards because of the stockyards historic reputation and we wanted a place where my wife could have things to do while I took care of business in the area. There's lots of quaint shops in the stockyards area all with western theme. The white elephant saloon and of course Billy Bobs, are all close. The hotel it self might not please the traveler that is used to Hiltons, Hyatts and the like that have posh amenities but the service the staff provide is as good as it gets any where. Yes, the room are small and hokey and yes the bathroom is small and the water pressure is not great blah, blah, blah but if you can't lighten up and enjoy staying here then you're too hard to please. The bar and restaurant are great and the wireless worked well. All in all, a pretty cool place to stay. My only caution is that all rooms are smoking rooms so if that's an issue, you better stay down the street.
