The room was clean. Bed was comfortable. I enjoyed walking down to the river. The toilet was leaking. I think it needs to be replaced. The bathroom door was pretty nasty at the bottom possibly from the leak. Very little TP in the room when we checked in.

The room was old and was not well maintained. We killed a couple roaches in the room and the shower and the toilet was not working right. We will not be staying here again.

When we arrived, the room was ungodly hot. Our room was easily 100 degrees. When we called the front desk to inquire the phone was not plugged in and the cord to plug it in was missing. My husband went to the front desk and was met by some unwelcoming staff. They explained the A/C doesn't get turned on until we get to the room. They later brought a working phone to the room. The morning of check out a knock was made on our door at 10:00am an hour before check out. We were made it very apparent we were still in the room. Five minutes after the knock they proceeded to open the door. Needless to say we will not be returning.

Comfortable but a little buggy
Room was comfortable and partially updated, though some work is still needed. Also, we killed about a half dozen baby roaches in the bathroom, so extermination is probably needed before the remaining babies grow up into real pests and lay eggs.

I enjoyed everything about the property, its quiet and conveinent to everything in Bandera. Enjoyed the service from checkin to check out. The breakfast was really decent as well. I would like to suggest that they look at the toilet in RM 110, it is very slow flushing and seems to not have enough water to continue to flush everything. Other than than minor detail, will stay again and am booked for 2 dates in October. Keep up the great work

I do not recommend
The first room smelled very strong of cleaning solution and the toilet didn't flush. We were moved to another room and when we flipped on the light about 15 baby roaches ran in all directions on the counter under TV. There were baby roaches in the microwave. By this time it was late, so we slept with all the lights on and left very early in the morning. I would not recommend this place.

The property was nice, they have a bar and restaurant on site so that made it easy to walk across the parking lot. They do offer a hot breakfast as well which is a good plus.
