In Mineral Wells, the Best Western Club House Inn & Suites, Mineral Wells, Texas, is a comfortable base between Fort Worth and Abilene, with spacious rooms, a free full hot breakfast of waffles, fresh fruit, pastries, and Arabica coffee, and a welcoming setting for road-trippers and outdoor lovers. The hotel welcomes pets. The setting puts Clark Gardens, a war memorial, and a rails-to-trails path close by, with a country club and golf a short drive away. Mineral Wells State Park and its climbing crags sit just east of town, and the lake adds room for paddling. Mineral Wells built its name on the 'crazy water' of its mineral springs, a North Texas spa town whose grand old Baker Hotel still towers over downtown. Penitentiary Hollow draws rock climbers to the state park just east of town, the Clark Gardens bloom along the way, and the rail-trail and lake give walkers and anglers plenty of room to roam.
