Perhaps the biggest shock for me was the contrast between the hotel’s exterior and the room decor.

The bold colors and prints pair well with retro furniture and monochromatic tiled bathrooms with showers.

I sat at one of the most impressive bars Ive ever seen.

Brass stools surrounded the octagonal-shaped bar covered in caramel-colored tiles.

A three-tier glass column filled with green vine plants sat at the center of the bar.

It led upwards to an octagonal brass top with neon fluorescent lights.

Locals and guests gathered on the couches to watch a game while others engaged in a shuffleboard match.

Five room types are available, all with king-sized beds, minibars, mini-fridges, and waterfall showers.

Frette linens, plush bathrobes, and bath amenities by Grown Alchemist are nice perks.

There is also a free coffee station with breakfast treats and fruit for them to partake in.

Even Baylor University is only a 19-minute walk away.
