I never would have stayed here if not for the fact that we could not get hotel reservations for three consecutive nights ANYWHERE in Victoria when calling a week in advance. Victoria is my home town and I have been going back to visit for many years. Therefore, I was puzzled by the high occupancy rate. I learned that this is due to construction of a large Caterpillar plant and shale gas drilling. So one night was booked at one hotel and two night at Lone Star Inn. The receptionist was very professional, efficient and friendly. When we walked up to our room, there were all these beautiful hybrid tea roses in front, which are difficult to grow in the heat and humidity of coastal Texas. The room was clean and spacious. There was a mini-frig and a microwave; also the room had a writing table and eating table, besides a good selection of channels on cable TV. And every thing worked and looked good, so we were happy, especially since the rate (about $90) was on the lower end of all twenty hotels I checked out. The only negative is Lone Star Inn is not centrally located. It is on the loop to the East of the city. This made only about a 7 minute extra drive for us because my family lives in East Victoria.
