My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were beautifully furnished with a cozy fireplace, a king-size bed, and a spacious bathroom. I loved hanging out with friends and meeting new people in the welcoming atmosphere. The balcony overlooking the outdoor sights added a nice touch to the faux lodge effect. However, I found the price a bit on the higher side compared to similar accommodations.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were clean, beautifully decorated, and perfect for hanging out with friends or meeting new ones on the balcony overlooking the river. The service was exceptional, with staff that were extremely helpful and accommodating, going above and beyond, especially the staff manager who made our breakfast remarkable. The location along the Guadeloupe River was spectacular, offering entertainment options like a pool table, shuffleboard table, and video games, all within walking distance of everything in Gruene. The dining experience was a highlight, with delicious meals that left us skipping lunch and still full until dinner. However, the strict timing for breakfast could be more flexible, but nonetheless, the price was justified for the value we received.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy with a nice view from the balcony, including a king-size bed, fireplace, and a large bathroom with easy access to the patio. The quirky theme accents, like a saddle toilet roll holder, added charm. The service went above and beyond, even preparing scones and providing a remarkable breakfast. The location by the Guadalupe River was spectacular, complete with fun activities, and the dining experience was out of this world. However, the limited dining hours and the evening wine and nachos offering were a bit restrictive. Overall, a fantastic experience worth every penny.
