Top Ellen Trout Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Fredonia Hotel and Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"I would recommend anyone staying in Nacogdoches for travel to certainly treat themselves to a special stay at Fredonia Hotel. The hotel itself is a very lovely boutique hotel. As I was admiring the small, special details in my room, it almost makes me feel like they could be the Beverly Hilton hotel’s little sister, it’s an upscale fun hotel. The restaurant menu selection is excellent, the food was amazing-I took home some of my salmon dinner, it was too delicious. The team working the City Cafe were very knowledgeable and were very helpful when I was trying to decide on my meals. The front desk team, my goodness they were so incredibly patient and kind to me. I forgot to call the hotel a few days prior to let them know I’m allergic to down pillows. It hit me the first night late, I was a sight for sore eyes-literally. They genuinely wanted to help me feel better. The lengths they went to within their abilities were outstanding and class act. I truly enjoyed my stay and next time I’ll call ahead for my synthetic pillows."
