If you are traveling through Blanco, Texas and need a super nice hotel, with extremely good rates, then you must stay here!! We stayed on the 3rd floor in a room with two very comfortable queen size beds, a sofa and coffee table, a desk, another dining table with chairs and all the other amenities that were great! The headboards on the beds were very cool in that they had soft lighting built in as well as electrical and wifi plugs! So convenient and cool! The furniture was all so cute and eclectic....not standard hotel furniture at all.....great decorating taste and it made you feel like you were in a nice apartment instead of a hotel! Everything throughout the hotel was spotless and in great condition and there was a great little bar restaurant in the hotel where the food was good and they had music and TV's! And finally to top it all off the staff, of what seemed like all women, were so nice and accomodating! Just lovely all the way around! We intially booked our room for 4 days but ended up staying an extra 3 days just because we felt like we were at home! Thanks to all of you for your hard work and smiles!

The hotel was recently renovated and it was such a beautiful hotel. Would definitely stay here again. The king room i booked was not avaliable but the front desk offered me the king suite at no extra charge. They were very accommodating. I highly recommend this hotel.

Had to stay in handicap room. Every time the A/C came on sounded like diesel truck idling. Smoking area right out side our window. The smokers talking sounded like they were in our room. The bathroom door handle fell off. Because we booked thru Expedia they offered us free snacks.
