Most people think of motels as a quick place to hang your hat—a brief overnight stop-off. But seeing these institutions as nothing more than a place to sleep robs you of all the other rewards a motel stay can provide. Best Inn Texas, which offers refurbished rooms at affordable prices, wants you to see their accommodations as more than just eight hours of sound sleep and a convenient checkout. The Levelland-based motel has a few ways for you to make the most out of your next stay. 

3 Things to Do in a Motel Besides Sleep

1. R&R

Checking into a clean, quiet motel can provide some much-needed “me time.” At Best Inn Texas, you can decompress in a comfy bed, unwind in front of a flat-screen television, and enjoy free Wi-Fi. Think of it as a mini-vacation in the great indoors.

2. Explore Local Restaurants

Just because you're only staying for one night doesn't mean you can't get dinner or go out for a drink or two. After you check in, ask the front desk about nearby restaurants and bars. Luckily, Best Inn Texas is just down the street from a popular sports bar with pool tables and live music. 

3. Take in the Culture

You'd be surprised at the caliber of activities and invigorating local flavor you can discover when you take a bit of initiative. Many motels are located near event centers, shopping malls, museums, and other can’t-miss attractions. Look for brochures in the hotel entrance to get a sense of what's nearby. 

While we all love to fall into a freshly made bed, you don’t need to settle for slumber alone at Best Inn Texas. In Levelland, you can treat yourself to dinner, take in some live music, or enjoy the serenity of a room all to yourself. If you're interested in a long-term stay, they have special rates for week- and month-long visitors. For more details on hotel amenities and the recent remodeling, visit their website or give them a call at (806) 894-7335.
