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.

Avoid this hotel, dirty and unwelcoming

There was blood on the sheets. Breakfast was poor and had ran out of everything by 8.15, no orange juice, no waffles, no hot food, we left hungry. Staff attitude was very poor, they did not care. They started drilling at 9pm at night, so noisy that we couldn't sit out on the balcony, i went and spoke with reception, they stopped making the noise but then started again at 10pm until after 11pm. They do not care about their guests comfort. Bag of rubbish was outside our room when we arrived and still there 2 days later when we left

When you look around the property you can see when it was built it was lovely, and there is a new coat of paint so everything looks cared for, but, the owners aren't making an effort. they offer a "continental breakfast" that is just bad coffee, cereal and pre-packaged snake cakes. When I went into breakfast there were no lights on and a couple of people were eating in the dark, no one was working the front desk, and the front door was locked I had to go around the building to the back door, which I guess was good since no one was working. All-in-all I felt safe the place was clean but I wouldn't plan on swimming in the pool, it would be such a very nice place if they made an effort, the view was wonderful. SO much potential just being left, they just don't care.

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 wood floor is sticky due to moisture inside in rainy days). They didn’t prepare for three persons so not enough towels even booked ahead. Shampoo and conditioner are limited. Old furnitures and hair dryer wasn’t there and has to request it.

Beautiful setting. Exterior of building looks recently redone. Our bathroom was only half painted. Personal employee items left sitting around in furniture making us feel as though we were intruding. They were very pleasant to work with but need to work on an ice machine and the small touches to make guests feel more welcome

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.

The property is nothing like the images online. The breakfast was below average and very limited. The room was nice but the shower head leaked all night, the tv only had 3 channels that worked and the bathroom sink won’t drain. The ice machine was broken as well. The back door to pool area was nice and the front desk person was nice

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.
