9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,004 reviews)
Easy front lot parking, a clean, upscale lobby and friendly front desk staff is always a great start. Room was spacious, clea and well appointed. Lots of plugs and charging ports (everyone wants that). Didn't eat there because the dining options in a couple mile radius are insane. Legacy East & West alone would providevfor a week. Good location at a reasonable price. Would stay there again.

Palo Duro Canyon is absolutely beautiful!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

This is an amazingly beautiful place. Please make sure that you zipline across a portion of the canyon on the way in. Be aware that the line into the canyon may be long, but the wait is worth it. The trails are necessary, so bring comfortable shoes and water. The drive around the bottom of the canyon is breathtaking. Spend at least a day here, if not more.
