Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The TV didn’t work in my room all it had was scrambled white noise it was around 11pm before it finally was fixed… I called Don and reported it once at 2 o’clock, and then I reported it again at 7 PM. Nothing was done. The girl at the front desk said they were waiting on maintenance to come in, and I guess he didn’t get there until a little before 11 PM. This is ridiculous. I would like a refund. How do you not have it fixed right away when obviously it had to be an easy fix? We just had to wait for the maintenance man to finally get there. It’s real fun to sit in a hotel room when it’s raining with nothing to watch and nothing to do

Area is very quiet. Rooms are much larger than the usual hotel. Hallways and rooms are very clean. Less than an hour from Fredericksburg and only minutes from 290 & Johnson City. This is our second stay here on our visits to Fredericksburg, Luckenbach and the general area. Will definitely stay again on any future trips to this area instead of staying in the Fredericksburg area.

The staff is really nice. The breakfast was decent. The room looked beautiful but stunk so badly. Had to pour bleach down the drain, sprayed Lysol twice, sprayed Febreeze twice and just had to endure. The bathroom needs work and had what looked like was mold at the pillars. Attempted to work with hotel because I don’t like to complain but no resolution was made.

The air conditioning didn't cool well enough during our 1 night stay and beds were rock hard. Sign said unit was controlled by wall thermostat but that seemed to do nothing...

The stay was ok, but our room was dirty when we walked in. Seems like they’re unstaffed. The breakfast area was packed and the food wasn’t great. In their defense we came down at 8:30 and it stops at 9. There weren’t many options all the same. Price to value is misplaced! The room was $175+ and definitely wasn’t worth more than $100 at most. Overall, meh. Sorry!

Staff were very nice and friendly, but the only issue was that the room I stayed in was very hot and uncomfortable because the ac could only be set at 70 degrees on the thermostat, and the room felt more like 80 degrees. In the summertime you’d expect the ac to be set lower and actually cool the room
