Welcome back to Part two of our Summer in Lufkin blog. Now that you’ve learned from our Lufkin in Summer Part 1 about the happenings in Lufkin, Texas over America’s 250th birthday, it’s time to take a look at why you should stay the night.

Let’s start with the incredible Sleep Inn/Mainstay Suites, located at the intersection of Highways 59 and 69. Spend your day out at the Ellen Trout Zoo, only 1.5 miles away from the hotel. With activities all day long, you can enjoy a fun-filled day at the zoo.
Enjoy live entertainment from talented local musicians.
Savor mouthwatering food from some of the best vendors in the region.
Shop artisanal crafts and unique finds from local makers.
Explore Ellen Trout Zoo, where kids and adults alike can see incredible animals up close.
Not only can you enjoy what Lufkin has to offer, but you can bring the whole family to relax and unwind at the incredible outdoor pool area, with a grilling station, and outdoor seating. It’s the perfect getaway close to home! But rooms are selling fast, so book today!

Now, we move to the beautiful boutique Best Western Plus Crown Colony Inn & Suites, located off of Highway 59. Arrive in Lufkin midday and head to historic downtown Lufkin to enjoy amazing restaurants and shopping.
As the afternoon is the hottest part of the day, it’s the perfect time to come back to the Best Western Plus, check-in, and unwind in the outdoor pool with the new outdoor pergola before making your way to Summer in the City downtown.
Finish the night with a cocktail at Ralph and Kacoos, located next door, and rest easy in our comfortable beds! A free hot breakfast awaits you the next morning before you head back home.

Whether you’re in town with friends or family, both the Sleep Inn/Mainstay Suites and the Best Western Plus Crown Colony can enhance a perfect East Texas getaway this 4th of July weekend! We hope to see you soon.
And Happy Birthday, America!!!
