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.

Good for the price.

The breakfast was limited unless you like sweets or cereal. The hot food didn't look very appealing. Beds were comfortable. After for a rear facing or south end room away from pool as you can hear them all night long splashing and hollering even on the 3rd floor. Front desk staff was friendly and very helpful.

In a town without many hotel options the Blanco River Hotel is stellar. I could not believe the size of the room. The pool is very nice with nice evening lighting and a waterfall. The breakfast is also better than most and unusual to be included in a hotel this nice. So close to town square with many great choices for food. Also the Blanco river is a minute away and a great place to visit.
waterfall is a nice addition to the pool.
Hotel is recently renovated and well maintained.
Breakfast served in the morning and the bar is open on weekends.
The hotel has a "Texas Ranch Boutique" vibe.
