Days Inn by Wyndham Ennis is an economy hotel at 600 I-45, giving travelers on the Dallas–Houston corridor a simple, affordable place to sleep about 35 miles south of downtown Dallas. Its outdoor pool, free breakfast and quick highway access appeal to budget travelers, families and work crews.
Expect plain, functional rooms built for a good night’s rest. The brand’s standard amenities include free WiFi and a complimentary breakfast item with coffee, tea or juice (source: [Wyndham Hotels](https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/days-inn/about-us)). Guests give the property a 3.8 rating overall and often mention clean, comfortable rooms and good value. In summer, the outdoor pool is a welcome stop for families after hours on the interstate. The hotel belongs to Wyndham’s Days Inn chain, which Cecil B. Day founded in 1970 (source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Days_Inn)), so Wyndham Rewards members can earn and redeem points here.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Book well in advance for three busy periods:
- April: The Ennis Bluebonnet Trails draw crowds of wildflower watchers.
- Memorial Day weekend: The National Polka Festival celebrates the town’s Czech heritage.
- Race weekends: Drag racing events at the nearby Texas Motorplex, including the fall NHRA nationals, fill rooms quickly.
Weeknight stays outside these events usually cost the least. Ask for a room away from the highway if you are a light sleeper. Check in early to make the most of breakfast and the pool. Historic downtown Ennis, with its Czech bakeries selling kolaches, is a short drive away.
