I love the retro look of this hotel! So fun! It was easy to find, close to restaurants, staff was super friendly, breakfast was good, and the rooms are very spacious! They have both fluffy pillows as well as firm pillows on the bed, so you can chose which one you sleep on! I will definitely stay here again anytime I’m in or around Blanco!
