“The all-suite setup, complete with kitchens, really caters to longer stays, especially with perks like evening social events; being so close to Baylor and other attractions also works for families. I appreciate the pet-friendly policy, though I'd consider if the weight limit aligns with your needs. It seems a practical choice for those needing a home-like environment on the road.”
