West Texas
Maverick road-trippers will feel right at home at this retro motel, smartly renovated with luxury bedding and flat-screen TVs. The mock-adobe casitas have Texas-style furnishings and terracotta floors, and the pool looks mighty nice after a hot, dusty day. You can also borrow a guitar or peruse Texas coffee-table books in the lobby. We like your attitude, Maverick Inn.
The pet fee is $30 per pet per stay.
