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

Hotel pool refreshes and de-stresses.

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

Hotel pool is prime for relaxation or exercise.

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

Nearby Tyler Rose Garden is the world’s largest.

You know what’s nice to wake up to? Free breakfast, that’s what.

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

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

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

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

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

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

A visit to the onsite fitness center and indoor pool make it easy to cross me-time off your to-do list.

Breakfast is comped. Good morning!
