Why does breakfast taste so much better when someone else makes it for you? We don’t know, but the theory is proven here.

Nothing like a good ol' fashioned game of Marco Polo in the pool.

Hotel pool refreshes and de-stresses.

Easily access nearby shops and restaurants from this convenient setting.

Free Bright Side Breakfast lives up to its chirpy name. Nothing like waffles to put you in a good mood.

Chic suites have full kitchens so you can whip up your own meals.

Hotel pool is prime for relaxation or exercise.

Nearby Tyler Rose Garden is the world’s largest.

The facility is fairly new, so it was pretty clean. Beds were comfortable, rooms were newly outfitted.

Pack your bathing suit, they've got a pool.

Breakfast is comped. Good morning!

Reliable resting place by the freeway (when you're ready to hit the road again).

Tasty breakfast that just so happens to also be free.

Tucked away in the ‘burbs but not far from the oh-so-charming downtown Kilgore (shops & restos await).

Easy access to Lake Fork if you're all about that bass (it's a largemouth bass record-holder).

Fuel up at the freebie breakfast – you’ll need it (see below).
