Frommer's Review
A very simple, even spartan, cowboy-themed small hotel right on the main drag of the Stockyards, this 1939 hotel has a convenient location and is easy on the wallet. Don't expect much in the way of service or amenities, however; it's strictly for those on a budget. The former Exchange Hotel, reopened in 1995, retains the airs of a place where cattlemen might have stayed when venturing into the big city for auction. The 21 rooms, including a couple of spacious suites, are modest, though the Honeymoon Room has a Jacuzzi and the second-story, family-size but very pricey Bob Wills Suite comprises four separate guest rooms and has good views of the Stockyards. Within easy walking distance of all the major attractions, restaurants, and nightlife in the Stockyards district, Hotel Texas is a serviceable place to camp out in Cowtown, as long as your expectations aren't too high. Though I'm usually one to champion a small independent hotel over a chain, it's probably worth comparing prices at the Hyatt Park Place down the street.
