I love the retro look of this hotel! So fun! It was easy to find, close to restaurants, staff was super friendly, breakfast was good, and the rooms are very spacious! They have both fluffy pillows as well as firm pillows on the bed, so you can chose which one you sleep on! I will definitely stay here again anytime I’m in or around Blanco!

The rooms were huge, clean and nicely decorated. It had a boutique hotel vibe with the decor. The hallways had a really nice sweet floral smell as soon as you left the elevator, not overpowering but noticeable. The AC wasn't the best, it ran hotter than it was set. The breakfast was ok but only a few hot options, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy. They did have yogurt, ceral and instant oatmeal packets. With certain restrictions it was not a lot of options. Overall excellent stay and very affordable. We will definitely add it to our list of places to return.
