Numerous celebrities of the time, at least one future president, and possibly even Bonnie and Clyde spent a night at the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells between 1930 and the 1950s. Those were the glory years for the 14-story 450-room hotel that still dominates the city skyline, even though it's been closed for years. Its Olympic-size pool was filled with local mineral waters and its opulent ballrooms and public spaces attracted moneyed tourists.
A Dallas-area investor plans to restore the Baker Hotel to its former status. The hope is that 100 or so refurbished rooms and its romantic past will pave the way for a new century of tourism in this Texas town known for the restorative powers of its natural springs. View Mineral Wells City Guide
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Mineral Wells renters. They`re typically a beautiful addition to your space. They’re also easier to clean and sweep, particularly if you have pets.
However, there are some downsides. Hardwood floors carry sounds. They can also make your apartment noisy for your roommates and downstairs neighbors.
Ask the landlord or property manager about the hardwood floors before signing a lease. Are they actually hardwood or a popular composite alternative? The latter is probably easier to clean and care for than the real thing.
It’s also important to ask about who’s responsible for any damage to the floors and what that entails. Your security deposit could take a hit from scratches, dents, and other damage.
Consider the type of climate you live in. Hardwood floors typically don’t fare well in damp climates full of moisture. Stains and buckling are common in hardwood floors after rain flooding or excessive moisture.
However, hardwood floors can be ideal for dry climates or sunny areas for renters who love the way they look.
