I love the historical property, but the beds are uncomfortable and noisy. The hvac in our room was very loud and we had to call and have it turned off because we couldn’t sleep. It was very hot (it’s cold outside) and no ventilation, no windows to open. The one cup coffee maker in the room didn’t work well and there is no coffee available unless you buy it from the dining room. The upside is, it’s close to hiking destinations and Buccees so it’s a quick drive for affordable coffee and food vs the very expensive dining room. We spent $80 for breakfast on the day we decided to try it out. If I stayed again, I would have to request a room with a hvac unit that is quiet and some ventilation.

Room was clean. They actually clean EVERY day unlike most of the chains. We had fresh towels and they took out the trash. We only stayed two nights but they have Hilton chains beat ten to one. They could improve with a microwave in the room but it wasn’t a big deal.

Very cute place. More charm, quaintness than a typical hotel stay, but it also made it feel a bit less clean than a typical hotel. A good, included breakfast would have made this 5-stars!

Room was cleaned but some dust build up on one side of the nightstand lamp and a couple loose hairs around the sink. A/C was not working properly. Thermostat would show temp of 70 but it was warm in the room so turned it down to 68. Room then got cold but stat still showed 68 and A/C didn’t turn off. Raised set temp to 69. A/C then never came on although room was warm. Stat showed temp of 70. Turned set temp down to 66 but A/C never kicked on leaving the room too warm all night long.

A beautiful very old hotel. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was a little small but we only stayed in room to shower and sleep. We went with another couple so there were several gathering rooms where we could meet to talk , play cards, etc. Restaurant in hotel. We would definitely stay here again.
