Randomly found hotel on Expedia. Upon arrival we were surprised by the location to only discover the newly updated retro decor and the friendliest staff. We were welcomed like old friends. We selected the Room with the river view with minimal noise even being so close to the main thoroughfare. The room boasted the most comfortable bed and a rain shower. 10/10 recommend!

Room with a loft was very convenient for us. It was sparkling clean, quiet and warm. Beds were wonderful, shower exceptional. Behind the Hacienda there's a nice park along the river. I wish weather was a little warmer. In 5 minutes drive there is a picturesque historical Gruene village with great restaurants and many events and shops.

There are great things happening at Hacienda del Rio. The entire property is undergoing a fantastic renovation. The new rooms are modern and so cute. The clubhouse is awesome. The staff are super responsive, friendly, and want to make sure you have a great stay. It's also super close to downtown New Braunfels. There is definitely visible construction going on as they carry out the renovation, but they are doing a great job of keeping the site clean and areas accessible. My only complaint (which is not their fault) is the highway noise. I can't wait to see it when everything is done!
