We arrived late in the evening (around 11 pm) to check-in. You cannot go inside. They have the door locked and you have to use a "night-window". No one was coming to the window, despite my husband pushing the doorbell button. I finally had to call the number on my Expedia reservation for someone to come to the front. The hotel is a little rundown. You can tell they tried to update some things, but the work is sloppy (i.e., there was a hole in the ceiling in the bathroom area of our room). I will say, it seems like they upgraded the beds, which was a huge plus. The beds and the pillows were excellent, and there were 3 beds in our room, which was very accommodating for our family of 4 + 2 dogs. The beds make up for anything else that I may not have liked, given that we only needed to be there to sleep for 1 night. Checkout was easy, and they allow pets, which was a huge plus for us.

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.

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.

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!

I felt that $124 was too much for the stay and occupancy. Checked in. Guy was nice. Gave me a water. Go to the room on 100 degree day and no water! City shut off main. Not property fault. But nasty after a long day riding. Toilet was not bolted to floor. Tv was really nice.

Bad experience

The service upon check-in was very good. The room on the other hand was not good. Overall, the motel needs an upgrade. The toilet seat in our room was very loose. The bathroom door had two ceramic tiles taped to the door to cover an apparent hole in the door. The AC unit leaked water in the room, and I had to summon someone to mop up the water. Overall, the room was very outdated, with dirty tile, the bathroom door frame was rotting away, and the sink had chips in it. There is a restaurant adjacent to the property, so parking is an issue. My wife is unsteady on her feet so would have liked to park closer to our room. The only redeeming factor was a large screen TV. Bandera is a popular place to visit, but recommend staying elsewhere!

Nightmare

Scary. Horrible experience. Checked out early. Couldn't get ahold of manager nor anyone at Hotels.com. People hanging around out my door smoking cigarettes. I couldn't walk out feeling safe. Dingy towels. Shower curtain moldy. Bugs in the room. Photos need no descriptions. Would not recommend
