Very nice property amenities/activities, like volleyball court, pool, and access to the river. Nice remodel and style, but still sort of motel-ish. Didn't love the bedding and the room smelled like smoke. For the price, it was a good deal but I'm not sure we'll stay here again.

We made a round trip adventure through the hill country over 5 days and stayed at multiple places along the way ! This place by far was amazing! I can’t say enough good things about this place starting with the staff which is exceptional! The room was very nice ! Very modern! Pool and access to the river was great, the grounds were very well maintained! Highly recommended

The property was conveniently located—5 minute drive to Gruene and right on the Guadalupe, with its own tubing service on site. The welcome drink was nice, and bar was fully stocked.
The hotel lacked basic items—like overhead lighting, drawers, a mirror anywhere other than the bathroom, and working bathrooms in the common/reception area. It seemed they chose to focus on certain nice things on the 2024 remodel, but still overlooked some obvious and needed updates.

This property has been remodeled and is updated. The common area is cute, clean and modern with a game room, hangout space and bar. Beds were super comfy. Pool and river area is gorgeous. You also can't beat the location. Definitely worth the stay.
