Residence Inn by Marriott is located at 3303 Troup Highway, Tyler, Texas. This location is within easy distance of several good eating places and there is a Bank of America across the street if you are in need of cash during your stay. The hotel is in town but when you go in your room for the night, it is amazing just how quite it is inside.
A few years ago, our family had an occasion to use this Tyler hotel. There were two couples to stay in the suite. It had an upstairs with a queen bed and bathroom …then the bottom floor had a fold down bed, bathroom, living room and a fully stocked kitchen with dishes, silverware, glasses and cooking utensils. We were able to keep the costs down…by cooking ordinary meals and still getting to vacation. The price, when compared to other hotels in Tyler, was agreeable with our pocketbook.
The rooms were very clean and nice sized to add others to the eating experience. We had 5 other people join us for a meal and everyone was comfortable while we ate and visited.
If you are looking to stay in a hotel, and there is a need to have a place to keep food and fix inexpensive meals for your party…consider the Residence Inn by Marriott. I know you will be pleased with your experience.

There is a restaurant in Edom TX about 18 minutes outside of Tyler called The Shed. It is a small town place with a flavor of mama’s kitchen. They have a varied menu that includes things like…roast beef, meatloaf, chicken fried steak and chicken tenders. The servings are large with a modest price on the pocketbook. They have some of the yummiest pies and cobblers if you want dessert. You won’t go away hungry if you decide to eat there. The waiters and waitresses are very attentive to what your needs are while you are eating.
The interesting thing is if you visit them on Tuesday evening they have a dozen or so musicians that play and sing country music and bluegrass. The musicians play guitars, fiddles, mandolin’s, and accordions while you eat your meal and you are welcome to sing with them or just listen. This is a place that you can take young children to and they will enjoy the entertainment and the food.
During the summer they occasionally have a car show in Edom and when we ate there we were lucky to be there while the car show was going on. After eating we walked around and looked at the cars, and walked off some of our eating.
After eating at The Shed you can walk through the hallway to their country store. There at the country store you can buy something for yourself or purchase a nice gift for someone. This is not a fancy place, but a very comfortable place to eat, enjoy music without hurting the pocket book.
