Most comfortable bed ever!!

I was in town for a graduation. And after a very long day your hotel was a sanctuary. My room was so spacious and comfortable. The shower had great pressure and the bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. Will be back when I’m back in the area

The AC in 210 was unacceptable. It never dropped below 73. When my husband left for his leg of the journey, it was cooler OUTSIDE than it was inside. Very, VERY disappointed.

The condition and comfort of the hotel are very good. Breakfast could use some improvement, however. The eggs and potatoes are terrible. Sausages and breads/muffins are fine. Please turn your utensils down!! When people grab a fork or spoon, their hands touch all of the forks to weed out the one they’ll use. This is so unsanitary and probably against health codes!!

Blanco River Hotel was great value. The rooms were spacious, clean, and reasonably appointed. The breakfast area was clean, and breakfast was best good. I would definitely stay here again the next time we're in the area.
