Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Bathtub area needed better cleaning
Towel bar in bathroom was found broken upon arrival and not repaired during stay
Short staffed so no bar as advertised
Breakfast food options very limited
Room was spacious and very comfortable
Really cool hotel that punches above its weight in terms of its foorprint and building profile. Convenient access to local distillery and relaxed vibe. Rooms exceeded expectations as far as design, cleanliness, and layout.
The property is a bit older, but it is well maintained. The staff is very helpful, courteous and cheerful. I have stayed here before, the rates are great and the location is perfect for a relaxing stay in the Hill Country. We have family in San Antonio and Austin and this is a great place to stay in between both cities.
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
Very clean, nice courteous staff, nice location quieter . But like all hotels bfast finishes to early day old breads. And humidity very high in room, but was very humid Texas day! Other than that, yes I’d recommend yes!
The room was clean and supplied as one would expect. The overall breakfast was average but the eggs were below average. Waffles would be a nice addition ... The grounds, pool area and parking lot were clean and maintained.
