The downstairs is a bar at night, keep that in mind if on a family trip. If staying on the back side of the hotel the bar smoking area is on that side, and the conversation noise can be a problem.

Best hotel in Blanco by far. Came in for a wedding and the wedding coordinator booked a block of rooms at a different hotel but they did not have enough king suites and charged twice the price. Booked here and it was half the price, substantially nicer and had full amenities, free WiFi, a bar, free breakfast and some great people. Stuff was incredibly friendly and helpful.
