Improvement from prior stays. There are only two hotels in Bandera, so choice is limited. There are several cabins in the area.

I’d stay there again

Location to town was good. A little too far to walk to down town but the parking was excellent and convenient. Relaxing atmosphere and the on sight restaurant was very good.

Great place to stay

The room was very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable, nice size TV, microwave/refrigerator. Great location, close to everything. The onsite restaurant was really really good and great service. The only bad thing at all was the towels were very small and non absorbant. We would definately stay there again.

Don't stay here!!! Worst accommodation we've had! Broken toilet, dirty floor, grubby shower, patched up door, noisy. Thread bare towels... The advertised 'complimentary drink' was water and we didn't even get that. Terrible staff, no friendly welcome. Not local Texans and it showed! Too expensive by far for this low standard!
