OK motel; not too far from 6th
You get what you pay for with this (somewhat) inexpensive motel next to I-35 (across the highway from downtown). The rooms are clean, and the cleaning staff is top notch. In-room fridge and microwave are nice. The pool is small and not very inviting, and the free breakfast is pretty average (no eggs, but plenty of carbs). The front desk staff seemed overwhelmed when we arrived, and had trouble keeping our reservation straight. They were a little stressed out, and could certainly upgrade their customer service skills. If you don't mind walking, Red River is just a few blocks away, and the major bars/restaurants of 6th street are less than a mile away. Not sure whether we would stay here again, but it's probably the best value for the location. I might be tempted to pay a little more to be on the downtown side of I-35 next time.
