Top Ellen Trout Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Fredonia Hotel and Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"The property is very nice. The food was excellent. However, if we go back to the area I probably will not stay there again. It was very expensive for one night. Now that I have stayed there, I have done that. It was football homecoming at the University, so I am sure rates were higher because of demand. Just not worth the price for night in Nacogdoches, TX."

Motel 6 Nacogdoches, TX-SFA University

10/10 Excellent

"My stay there was very comfortable. The bed was great! No frills but very much worth the savings on the price. TV, microwave, and fridge worked fine. Coffee at the front desk area in the morning. I will stay again."
