The General Manger Grace was a very polite and helpful when we arrived to the hotel. But the housekeeping staff on the other hand came in our room and threw blankets over bed and didn't fix the bed or clean the room at all during our stay.

Almost perfect.
Everything about the hotel was excellent with the exception of breakfast. They had been really busy all weekend and ran out of just about everything for breakfast (ie no plates, no coffee cups, no creamer for coffee etc).

Nice hotel in Blanco, TX
A nice, well maintained hotel in the small town of Blanco, TX. The owner greeted me at reception and was awesome. The hotel is older, but clean, well-maintained, and the room was great. They were doing some renovations, so it will be even nicer soon. I enjoyed my stay and was pleased by the friendliness, professionalism and helpfulness of the owner and staff.

Although we loved the location of the hotel, the furniture in the room was a huge turn off. If wasn’t very comfortable, seemed cheap, and didn’t go with a hotel in the beautiful hill country. In addition the carpet was horrible. I will definitely rethink staying here next time I visit Blenco.

The staff was amazing, the hotel is newly renovated and some bit of construction is still ongoing but the property looks very clean and inviting, the room was large and very spacious with a very modern aesthetic. Over all we had a great experience and will definitely stay there again.

You can see very clearly that they were in the process of upgrades and remodeling. Even Despite that, it was a gorgeous establishment. I have another trip going to that area again. You best believe I will be trying to get into this hotel.

Good enough. A bit dated.
Booked here last minute. Not expensive. No frills. Felt safe. Clean enough. Nice receptionist (and the cutest dog). Aircon was working fine. Many channels on the tv. Nice smelling products in the shower.
