Eh....

Chck in...Room not ready at 3 and we had to wait 30 mins for to check-in. Very limited parking and the space was very small near our building. Opened door and there was a musty smell inside the room. The rooms look as if the older roadside motel had been remodeled but not very well(painted and stained concretefloor). Bed was comfortable. Water did not get very hot but it was ok. The room had very good blackout curtain, that would have been great except the curtain on the door did not keep any of the light from the outdoor lights out of the room. So tried to sleep in lit up room. The grounds were nice and someone did do a good job with the outdoor areas. There is a bar in the reception building. The pool looks nice andthere is also a pool table inside. There is no breakfast area but you can spend a lot of money for pastries, fruit cups, and individual cereal cup($5 for that). The room was over $300 for a king bed and riverview room. This used to be a budget motel with river access. Over all I am not happy with this trip.

Could not sleep because the highway was too loud, A/C couldn’t cool down the room. The Place on the river is not affiliated with the hotel so make sure and check their hours with them not the hotel. Late check out is $50. Make sure to get a room upgrade so you aren’t directly on the highway. For $200 I was expecting way better.

The property was so convenient to NB and Gruene! We had a great time in the clubhouse, playing shuffle board and having delicious drinks! The property is beautiful with a ton to do! I would suggest bringing your own bottled water, however. None is provided in the rooms, and the clubhouse has limited hours. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful hotel right on the river

We so enjoyed our stay here. Room was very comfortable and pet friendly a plus! The pool area is so relaxing and clubhouse serves great drinks. The grounds are beautiful and right on the river. Firepits and grills available and a place to rent tubes to float right on the property. Will definitely be back!

We were very excited to stay here, as it looked amazing on Instagram and a recent article that came out. I booked a Superior room that looked at the river. The property is cute and very Instagram-able. However, the rooms/buildings need a lot more work. The main window in the room has a blackout curtain. However, the door has a very thin curtain that doesn’t keep the bright lights out. I had to hang my clothes up on the door to try and diffuse the light. The picture shows my three dresses I used. The walls are also very thin and we could hear the TV from the neighboring room through 1 A.M. The A/C is also extremely loud. Between the light and the sounds, you 100% need a sleep mask and earplugs to be able to sleep here. It was one of the worst nights of sleep I have ever had in a long time. The shower also apparently only has one setting, which, thankfully, was a decent warm temperature. But, the shower also needs a curtain or something. We could also not figure out the automatic light, which would go off/on for about 14-30 seconds, depending on how it felt, I guess. I will say the bed was comfy. It’s just a shame that the room itself was not conducive for sleep. Because of the issues, we could not stay another night, desperate for sleep. We asked to check out the next morning and the manager did call us later that afternoon saying they would refund the rest of our stay, which was appreciated. Just be aware that if you need a quiet and dark room to sleep, this will not be it.
Please change out the doors to the rooms or put a blackout curtain on the door too!

The property was conveniently located—5 minute drive to Gruene and right on the Guadalupe, with its own tubing service on site. The welcome drink was nice, and bar was fully stocked. The hotel lacked basic items—like overhead lighting, drawers, a mirror anywhere other than the bathroom, and working bathrooms in the common/reception area. It seemed they chose to focus on certain nice things on the 2024 remodel, but still overlooked some obvious and needed updates.
