We wanted to get the kids out of the house and booked a trip to blanco for a night to shop, see the tree lighting and go to the park. The hotel felt safe and is clean and cute for the price

The staff was great! They were very friendly and hospitable. The room ws clean, the bed was comfortable.
NAOMI, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms were huge, clean and nicely decorated. It had a boutique hotel vibe with the decor. The hallways had a really nice sweet floral smell as soon as you left the elevator, not overpowering but noticeable. The AC wasn't the best, it ran hotter than it was set. The breakfast was ok but only a few hot options, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy. They did have yogurt, ceral and instant oatmeal packets. With certain restrictions it was not a lot of options. Overall excellent stay and very affordable. We will definitely add it to our list of places to return.

Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The place was perfect for our stay. The only thing I was disappointed with was the hotels .com website it says there is restaurant. We worked all day expected to check in and order dinner. Instead we had to leave again to go get dinner to come back and be more exhausted. When I book I book for convenience. But over the hotel was nice and clean.
