City Guide:
Tyler is caught in the outer loop.
As soon as a building boom touched upon the city in 1957, it became encircled by the Texas State Highway Loop 323. All efforts to extend beyond the closed loop only led to history repeating with the construction of the State Highway Loop 49 to embrace the urban sprawl growing outside.
Hemmed in by the ring-roads, Tyler developed into a unique phenomenon and you need a stay there to understand its charms. From the lap of luxuries to cheap hotels in Tyler, all are available at Booked.net. Check them out with maps, photos and secure forms to book your stay.
