TX State U ORIENTATION TRIP

Its what you expected at a Best Western but the front staff was excellent with me and my sons. Went down for Texas State University Orientation and had to add an extra day they accommodated me no problem. Free breakfast every morning also helped us keep the food budget down for 1 meal at least.

Because the hotel is located near the highway, it is a bit noisy. A few earplugs will solve the problem.
