Great stay
Hotel was very clean, the staff was super friendly. The bed was so comfortable. Usually when you stay at a hotel the beds are so hard and uncomfortable but not here, they were amazing.

Jeremy's review
It was a very clean, comfortable, and well air-conditioned room. Very amenable and there is a restaurant just behind the motel. They did a good job keeping it neat. Well done!

Don’t waste your money!!
The shower knob was literally falling out of the wall. The towels were the size of hand towels, poor quality, smelled bad and were old. The room had a horrible odor we had to buy freshener it smelled so bad. We had to wait 15 min to check in.

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

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.

Pretty good for a weekend motorcycle trip
It was okay. Main complaint is that the Wi-Fi kept kicking me off so I had to go thru the login process many times. Bed and pillows were nice and comfortable. Clean and plenty of hot water.
