The place was perfect for our stay. The only thing I was disappointed with was the hotels .com website it says there is restaurant. We worked all day expected to check in and order dinner. Instead we had to leave again to go get dinner to come back and be more exhausted. When I book I book for convenience. But over the hotel was nice and clean.

It would have been beneficial to have kleenex tissue in the bathroom. The light switch/ fan blower was annoying and I would have preferred separate switches. The beds were comfortable and it was very quiet at night. I appreciated the breakfast, though my son said the hot food wasn't that good and after tasting, got cereal. You may save there, by choosing just tacos or something simple. I loved the yogurt, good brand.

Grace, who checked us in, was so welcoming. We’d never stayed at the hotel, or in Blanco, so she took the time to orient us to the town, tell us where to go for restaurants and shopping, etc. She also made sure we knew where everything we could need was located on the property. Outstanding employee. The room itself was spacious and clean; it had all the expected amenities.
