Finding the hotel was a little difficult, but it’s tucked behind a wall for privacy and noise control The location is subsequently very quiet and the surroundings are beautiful The room itself was very well decorated

They have a laid back bohemian vibe The shower was pretty great, they have a heater in there so you’re not cold when you get out There was water in the room as well as tea and coffee The bar on the property needs their front door fixed and it doesn’t feel like a bar in there, more like a coffee shop that sells liquor If you go during the winter, there isn’t much to do but I can see there would be a lot to do during the summer The things we did not like was the bed is more of a futon material, it is very hard (not firm, just hard), the heater in the room is the old school type so it was very loud and kicked on every few mins so we did not get much sleep The doors are hard to close so every time someone in another room closed their door you could both hear and feel it And finally, for what we paid for the room, we expected a little more than what we got I understand it’s all about location, but we were there in the middle of the winter and we still paid more than what we would have preferred for what we got The check in/out process was super easy and the staff was great

The Wimberley Inn was amazing We took a Hill Country road trip and spent two nights at Wimberley Inn We were so impressed with the quaint feel and unique property

The setting is perfect, with lots of areas to spend outside to explore, relax and to have coffee or a cocktail The Restaurant and Bar were awesome We went both nights for food and drinks and both were excellent The food was extremely tasty and the drinks were a great way to finish a day of exploring the town and zip lining The service was very good, only a text away The rooms are simple but cool The entire Inn has a cool “Hill Country” vibe to it Will definitely be back

Friendly and personable staff Booked room for a week, my daughters and i stayed The room was nice and clean and loved that I had a small kitchen so not to have to eat out all the time

One big disappointment was the pool being closed With it being spring break I picked this hotel specifically because of the pool and other amenities Over all it was a good experience

Matthew Parish (Mattrix)

I had a HORRIBLE experience with this “Hotel” mostly due to the parent companie’s reservation “service” Granted, my day was already on par to be one of the worst traveling for business days of my lifeDue to multiple events in town, it seemed to be near impossible to book ANY room, be it a 1 Star dive/crime scene(motel,) or what was supposed to be a 4-5 Star “Hotel

” I spent every moment from 4PM when my event was over for the day, until 11PM when I called the Hilton “Customer Service” number, trying to get into any room I could lay my head down for a few precious hours, until 8AM when I had to start the second/last day of one of the most important events financially that I’ve had so far this yearSo, I drove past one of Hilton’s Hotels, and decided to call the lobby, knowing that particular Hotel usually starts around the $250-300 range(on weekdays when they aren’t busy) So, I was prepared to hear that I was going to have to pay $3-400 minimum to stay there Well, no such luck They didn’t have any rooms and the person on the other end of the line(Hilton apparently outsources their phone rooms to somewhere in the Middle East,) proceeds to tell me that they have a room that is only 10 miles away I agree and book the room for just over $300, after agreeing that it is past time for their cancellation policy and that if I cancel, the room would still be charged to my card I asked him several times if I could hold the room with my card, but pay in cash when I arrived He insisted that would not be a problemWell, the room ended up being 45 minutes away, and when I got there, of course I couldn’t pay in cash I didn’t have $300+ on a card, and being 11PM, I couldn’t go to the drugstore and put the money on one The lady was very rude, and threatened to call the police on me when I asked to speak to the manager Unbelievable! Worst experience with a Hotel chain that I thought would never treat their members like thatI ended up staying at a Motel(not Hotel,) by the freeway that was sure to be frequented by the police on a nightly basis, for $100 Never again Hilton

Chorizo Assassin

Had multiple issues with hotel first anytime I tried to talk to someone at the front desk I had to chase someone down or wait 10 minutes for someone to come help me Also had problems trying to extend my stay at the hotel The general manager had assured me he would take care of it and call me if any issues arise

He never contacted me back after several attempts to figure out why they couldn’t extend it Just seems like customer service is not one of there main priorities and it shows in certain situations like that Definitely not gonna stay here ever again

First time coming here and came with the family…husband and I and our two twenty year old kids Stayed in dream catcher and it couldn’t have been more perfect! Great amenities such as gas grill, green egg, huge fire pit for s’mores with large comfy stargazing chairs and golf cart was icing on the cake! Fireflies were everywhere and met Buster the raccoon also saw about 10 dear every night The river was beautiful!!! Thank you Wahwahtaysee for allowing my family to reconnect

Already planning another visit Great hospitality by the owners! You just obtained a customer for life!

Ashley Donica

We went with a group of 4 families All with little kids Each family stayed in a different tent

They were all AMAZING So clean, lovely decor & plenty of room The grounds was all groomed and kept up so well You get a golf cart for your entire stay which made it so convenient getting around The patios are huge with a gate around them so your little kids and dogs stay confined on the deck with you We even had room to put an inflatable pool on the deck for them to play in (Brought our own water hose There’s a water spicket just not a hose) We want to come back here for years to come!!

hollenbeck to nowhere

This was an incredible experience! We stayed in the “Big Dipper” yurt here Your private yurt comes with its own off-road golf cart It has two small bedrooms and a bathtub (which is amazing ) and shower

It also has an outdoor shower (which I prefer more) The yurt comes with a TV, small fridge, French press coffee maker, dishes and Yeti cup wareThere is a grill with an attached big green egg smoker There is a fire pit which was essential during our stayThe owners and staff were quite friendly and helpfulYou can take your golf cart out and explore around the property which sits on the San Marcos river There is a volleyball court and a corn hole game The sunsets were amazing at our yurt This place made all my worries disappear It felt like I was in a remote part of the Africa I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did

The staff goes above and beyond and all around they show personal touches which make you feel welcomed They are quick and polished and know their jobs well The customer service is the best of any stay I have had in last couple years

I travel at least twice a month By far the top of my list The hotel is well known and has a reputation for being a good value for the money I was a little surprised by the wear and tear of the pool furniture and had to search to find one that was not ripped so badly I was in fear of its safety or comfort Our Premium room had a distinct unpleasant animal urine smell that was hard to ignore Other than needing some updating the room had everything we needed for our stay The black out curtains did a great job of keeping the morning sun out and the bed was comfortable I highly recommend a stay here but am hoping that some updating of the rooms to get rid of the smell-not sure if it was just our or not, and better pool deck furniture-is in the future Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars The staff are deserving of five stars

Terri Hayley

Great facility Especially for an Embassy Suites which is now a Hilton Enormous lobby, restaurant/bar has good food and drinks

Daily Happy Hour from 5:30 – 7 PM Bar closes at 10 PM The hotel is shaped like theater in the round The rooms are around the perimeter of the property, maybe 15 stories high, and the lobby is in the center Kind of like the Gaylord if you’ve been Nice check-in They have waters, sundries and a few snacks as well for purchase behind check-in desk Meeting rooms are nice, could be better lit and microphones would help Our daily breakfasts and lunches at the conference were nice My suite was huge compared to typical hotel rooms Had a separate room for sofa, desk, TV, few chairs in the living area A bar, wet sink, fridge, closet and bathroom with tub/shower combo in between the 2 rooms Bedroom had 2 queen beds, thermostat (behind bedroom door), TV, nightstand, lamps and a nice bright window to outside with blackout curtains There’s a spa at this resort, too, but didn’t get to enjoy while working

Valerie Lotito

Excellent service! Respectful staff! Beautiful hotel; the room was very nice Parking felt secure and employees were very accommodating; they made it a point to check in to see how our stay was going and asked if we needed anything They were very responsive to all requests! Overall, great stay and great experience

We will definitely be staying here again in the future

Fantastic! My daughter recently got married in Gruene This was a destination wedding for all of us We found the Gruene Cottages and booked the entire place for four nights

Everyone that stayed there was very happy and comfortable with their rooms The best part was that we were given full access to all the property There is a large kitchen dining area to prepare meals The pool is delightful and the little ones loved the playground We held the rehearsal dinner here and used the stage for karaoke! Jessica, Jason and Jackie were fantastic and so accommodating, thank you so much for helping us make treasured memories!

Alyssa Dotson

The Gruene Cottages were the PERFECT place for my friends and I to have a girls weekend It is just a short walk to downtown Gruene! Their was plenty of parking, and the cottages were spacious and stocked with everything you need Our cottage was decorated for fall and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable

They have a very nice pool and offered live music at night in the courtyard Highly recommend to stay here! It elevated our Gruene experience

As a frequent traveler, Homewood Suite San Marcos is definitely one of my favorite place The Best among equals Staff are friendly and polite

The rooms are clean The environment is peace and quiet after a hard days work Christian and Miles at the front desk will smile and welcome you to this beautiful home-away-from-home I highly recommend it

Dan Drago

Very nice property, located close to nearly everything you need in San Marcos The rooms are small efficiency apartments, with full sized refrigerator/freezer, range top, dishwasher Didn’t spend much time in the room, but it was a relaxing space to come back to after being out and about all day

Good breakfast provided by the hotel Would definitely return the next time I’m in San Marcos

Jamie Walton

When we got there there was a horrible stench They told us they sprayed something We tried the pool but too cold and no jacuzzi

Wouldn’t have minded softer and warmer blankets The trash cans are sooo tiny Love the big fridge Shower nothing special like Marriott It’s pretty expensive for moderate accommodations Breakfast is free and had keto options

Mary Mitchell

This is a really nice hotel Yes, they are short-staffed, but it doesn’t reflect the cleanliness of the hotel or courteousness of the staff I’ve had positive interactions each time I came and left and have had no issues with our hotel room

I love being at the end of the hall because the stairs are right in front of the room The only thing I don’t like are the light buttons, especially in the bathroom I’m sure they are conserving energy but they are so difficult to turn on and off normally Aside from that, we are having a great time here

Hannah Lee

This hotel is a pretty standard Marriott similar to the others However, it is very WARM and the rooms don’t seem to have much control over the a/c, nor do they have safesHowever, the staff is super friendly and really great, so they make up for the warmth (and let us borrow a fan)!

Stacey Brantner

The hotel and room was clean The room was VERY warm The man at the front desk told us the A/c was broken and would not be fixed until next week

He said it was only working on the first floor Hr also told me there is nothing that could be done about it We couldnt change rooms or have our rate adjusted they couldnt let us knowabout this so we could bring a fan?now looking at the reviews it looks like this issue goes back 2 months I will not be staying here again

Great hotel This was a personal trip, which I don’t do often at all I travel regularly for work and have come to expect great service and a super clean room

I got that and beyond here They even had a deodorant stick for me when I realized I forgot one The gentleman at the desk didn’t have any on him, but went far out of his way to call around to find some Great folks – I expect to be back and will absolutely stay here!!

Myself and my wife stayed at the Blair House Inn for a 2 night anniversary get-away in the Ft-Worth room We were met at the front door by the owner who gave a quick and pleasant tour of the property and explained the amenities It was clear right away the bed and breakfast was a passion of the owner

We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub, the large walk-in shower and jetted tub, the hot sauna in the spa, the hill-country views, the privacy of our room, and the well-prepared and artisan morning breakfast Our stay was short and refreshing, highly recommendedPS the little things such as coffee, water, and sodas always being available made the stay feel homey… not to mention the nightcap of wine and dessert brought by tray to our room every evening

Lynn Kendall

The cooking school at Blair House is fabulous Chef Marcel is amazing! She is so knowledgeable and professional, totally prepared for each lab and the dishes we made were delicious Chef Marcel was constantly there to help and encourage us

I’m taking away not only a set of incredible recipes, but greater confidence in myself as a home chef She provided underlying tips and “chefy” tricks to upgrade and improve any dish we might be making in the future This is my second cooking class at Blair House and I can’t recommend the overall experience enough I arrived a day early to take advantage of the Inn’s spa for a facial I’m ready to come back for another class with Chef Marcel soon, this time it is the Mediterranean class and it was even better than I expected

Justin W

Beautiful and peaceful location tucked in the hill country We have stayed here multiple time, and love it here Owner and staff are friendly and welcoming, going to great lengths to make your stay the best experience

Breakfast and dinners are culinary delight, delicious bite after bite Cottages are clean, neat and comfortable If you are staying in the area I would highly recommend the Blair House

Montesino ranch was everything I could’ve dreamed of for my wedding day We had a perfect weather day, we took so many beautiful pictures in the hill country, and we really enjoyed the opportunity to bring in our own vendors Everyonethat works there is so kind and helpful

The set up is perfect! We had snacks and live music inside the barn, our dining tables outside, we brought outdoor games for guest, and they had a fire pitoutdoors Everyone had plenty of room to move around and do whatever they enjoyed We stayed at the Airbnb’s on the property which was wonderful – I definitely plan on going back foranniversaries/special occasions to stay on the property and soak up where our special day took place

Cecilio Suarez

The venue is just beautiful I enjoyed the view, location, and environment However, the lady “in charge” (Pam) is very condescending and passive aggressive

McKenzie was so sweet but following orders she had to rush us to finish our duties It’s in the middle of nowhere and I do not know why they are sticklers to “their ways” No kind of accommodations are available I did not enjoy interacting with them overall as I felt rushed and they just came off as entitled/unprofessional They speak negatively about people instead or reaching out to them directly They have a belief of they host “weddings”, not “parties/celebrations” and are unaware of cultural differences Pam is adamant about receiving a list for EVERY single detail such as when the bride/groom is getting ready and when everything happens when they weren’t present the entire time to SUPPORT the event That’s the job of the coordinator For the price overall of the venue/limits and the amenities and accommodations, this place is overpriced

Anita Ardeneaux

We stayed in a studio at Montesino Ranch and it was perfect for two people The place had a comfortable bed, an excellent bathroom, and a spacious kitchen area We booked because of the access to the river (a short 10 min walk) and it did not disappoint! I wish we had more time to explore the trails

If you’re looking for a quiet stay closer to nature, I recommend it!

My family celebrated my sister’s birthday by renting the Ranch House @ Sage Hilll Inn and Spa July 7-9 The hospitality by the staff is outstanding! Nina provided the pool goers with fresh cool fruit and drinks The rental is nestled in a quite wooded area within walking distance of the main buildings/dining room

The food, especially the lunch picnic is deliciousThe Ranch House is serviced by Housekeeping, but only if you arrange it the day before The kitchen at the Ranch House large so we took a lot of our own food and prepared it there so we could enjoy the houseThe practitioner/therapists at the spa are well qualified in providing first-class experiences

Erika Rodriguez

My husband and I stayed here over Memorial Day weekend to celebrate our 4 year anniversary What a beautiful serene place! We stayed in the Hays Room and the room was so beautiful, cozy, and spacious We enjoyed seeing deer every morning and evening right outside our window

We also enjoyed the delicious dinner every night in the communal style hall Our lives are very hectic, and it felt so nice to go to a place where there was so much peace and quite, and perfect for romance All of the staff was very accommodating as well, especially Aric Nothing but good things to say!

My husband and I had such a relaxing weekend here in the Texas hill country We stayed in the Hayes room for the views and they did not disappoint The room was large enough for us to spread out and it was very clean

The food was great, and Aric and the rest of the staff were so nice and accommodating To top it all off, Shawn and Greg gave the best couples massage! We will be returning to this hidden gem as soon as possible

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend it was our first time to stay at the lodge, we got to stay in one of the newly remodeled rooms I just want to say the sheets and bedding were awesome and bed was comfortable The room is done really cute

The only thing we would we complain about for the price is the tv selection was not good and there was no clock in the room, the outdoor terrain is not good, could be cleaned up outside better for guest The office staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome

Stayed with my fiancé last weekend It was a great experience We stayed in one of the remodeled rooms, which was incredible

Really cool modern take on a motel vibe Comfortable bed, nice shower, clean sheets The staff were friendly and the pool was great with a beautiful view of hill country It’s also a very short drive away from downtown Wimberley The lady at the front desk gave us some recommendations for where to eat and grab a drink which we took her up on Very relaxing weekend We look forward to coming back again this summer

Edit: we were offered a discounted rate to go back We had a truly fantastic experience this time The renovated rooms are beautiful, beds super comfy, pool super clean with an amazing view

The location is fantastic and staff was very responsive all the time We look forward to going back for another weekend getaway!Previous review: I wish I could say our stay was good I really do; the facilities are very charming and clean What could have been a great experience was met with disappointing communication and lack thereofWe were never told repairs were going to be made on the deck of our room during our stay We were woken up with room-trembling drilling, hammer knocks and workers talking (not the workers fault) My husband opens up our balcony curtains and we find ourselves face to face with the repairmen So much for privacyEven more, the power was cut off for say repairs, so no coffee making, TV, hair drying, phone charging at this timeEven though weren’t going to use the pool, we might have wanted to go use the lounging chairs to stargaze The pool was closed for repairs Again, that wasn’t ever communicatedWe tried to find a movie to rent in the TV It seemed like it was possible but we got an error message We contacted front desk but they didn’t know what to do, or if watching movies in the room was even possibleAnd this might not be the lodge’s fault, but there was loud partying with music, banging and screaming at 2am I wish there was someone on site to make sure this doesn’t happenThe facilities are clean and cute And it is a good location I wish our stay would have been a relaxing one We barely slept

This Courtyard is TOP NOTCH! One of the best we’ve stayed in, so close and convenient to so many wonderful attractions Clean, welcoming and a wonderful cafe and coffee shop that gets it right Everyone that worked there was amazing and Brandy really stood out with her kind demeanor, stress free multitasking abilities, wonderful customer service and overall nice vibes

Every evening, she had a line almost out the door or people checking in, requests and questions from visitors She handled them kindly and set great expectations We’ve stayed at many hotels and I’ve never felt more welcome or valued as a guest here The customer service blew us away! Highly recommend

Ryan Hartley

Starr Smith

The room was very comfortable! The staff was very friendly and accommodating She allowed us to switch from a standard room to a river-view room at no extra charge The pool area was beautiful and the river access was easy to find

I’ve paid way less for way better The entire facility seemed pretty rundown and outdated The staff was nice and the rooms felt clean

Lights in my room didn’t work and the outlets were ridiculously loose, I’m surprised it could charge my phone The block would just fall out The tub was stained pretty nasty, wallpaper was peeling and the ceiling looked like there was a good amount of water damage and mold Definitely wouldn’t recommend

Angela Smasal

Our ceiling in the bathroom was leaking There was water all on the floor & toilet lid We told the front desk, all they did is give us towels to keep on floor

They didn’t move us rooms or comp anything! We spent a little extra in this trip on the hotel & expected that it would be a little nicer The only plus to this place was the location, it was easy to get in & off highway 35

Jasmine Lane

I would not stay here by far the worst stay I have had at Hampton Inn The room was disgusting and was not clean We walked in and we were so disgusted we immediately left and went to another hotel

The room had spider webs along the wall and ceiling A roof leak was over the toilet and had a huge wet spot, the tub had pubic hair in it The carpet was falling apart and was running onto the tile The refrigerator had brown stains around it Would not recommend this hotel Stay very far away from it After seeing all these things within the first 30 minutes of being here we went downstairs to see if we can get the issue resolved It was not! She simply said sorry and wouldn’t give us a receipt I’ll be calling corporate because I was charged for two nights I didn’t stay
