Love this family run hotel. Amazing views from your balcony, which is featured in every room. Beautiful pool, very peaceful and tucked enough away from 620 that you forget you’re so close to the bee caves galleria and lakeway shopping. The sunsets are breathtaking. You have got to make sure you stay at this hidden gem next time you’re looking for somewhere to stay in the beautiful hill country!!

A seriously affordable hotel with nice clean rooms. Every room has a patio or balcony facing the pool, and we used it's everyday! We actually would have dinner out on the patio. Parking is super easy, very easy check in check out, a pretty decent breakfast although I felt like it started at different times every morning. They even have a Tesla charger! I would definitely stay here again.

My stay was ok. The property is older and the room I was in was kind of run down. The are lights on both sides of the bed. One worked, one didn't Bedside clock didn't work and couldn't be reset. No drain cover in the bathroom sink. The price was low, but that is really the only reason I see to stay there.

OK stay. Adjoining units are noisy and sound abating is not part of the construction process. Staff is very good.

I did not like the strings of long hair on the shower walls. The beds are extremely firm. The noise is ridiculous. Never again.

Pros; Gorgeous views on the balcony of the Texas Hill Country Brand new renovated bathrooms Ceiling fan in room Pretty cheap nightly rate Cons; a bunch This is a motel with a facelift but it’s still a motel Got stung by a yellow jacket on balcony Breakfast left much to be desired Dirty sheets that appeared to have not been changed since the last guest Dirty floors Gaps in the doors letting in the weather Construction sounds in the evening The “pool” was deep green, filled with debris, and liked like a place where water snakes live. The parking lot is tight and small

Room was clean and had nice tile floors. I love hotel rooms that don't have carpet, it always feels cleaner. The bathroom was spacious and clean. The provided toiletries like shampoo, soap, etc were lacking. There was mismatched shampoo and conditioner and our room didn't have soap (thankfully I always travel with extra). I was grateful for the continental breakfast but they need to provide a few more options. Overall, I would stay here again. It was a good value for the cost.
