Days Inn by Wyndham Paris

I don't love life on the road, moving between hotels and motels, but this was a truly pleasant stay. The owner welcomed me, and the place was spotless. I've stayed several nights for work and will seek it out again, even if that means driving an extra 30 minutes each way. I usually prefer a downstairs room, but first stayed in 301, which has a fascinating story I might share in another review. Spoiler alert, it isn't haunted. Some nearby guests were loud and inconsiderate on a few nights, but the rooms are quite soundproof. The following week I stayed in 101, on the front and street side, and it was mostly quiet too. The location is central to the highway and loop, with a Casey's and a Subway practically on the property, and plenty of good restaurants within ten minutes or less. There are more security cameras than the Pentagon, so I felt safe, and if anything happened it would be well documented. They say this is the finest Days Inn in Texas, nationwide too, I believe, and I can see why. Those Texas-shaped waffles every morning were another highlight. I'll be back and will try to remember to take photos.
