Such a cool hotel!! My daughter and I stayed here for a night and both loved it The theme/decor is different from a lot of hotels you see in the area and was really fun The room was amazing, had everything we needed, and was really cute

Also the staff was very friendly and helpful both the night we checked in and in the morning when we left!

UPDATE 6/5/22: Two weeks after the stay, I realized my credit card was charged $46 two days after my stay for no reason (room was paid with points) My Marriott account, however, does not show any charges I called the property three times and GM Ellis was suppose to have called me back

He never did I did learn from a helpful front desk associate that their records do not show any charges either I am now disputing the random charge with Chase Check your bank or credit card statements for erroneous chargesPoor excuse for a Marriott property Everything is dingy from the lobby to the rooms Attempts to provide a modern ambience are overshadowed by lackluster amenities Will not be staying at another Aloft branded property On a positive note, the staff were very friendly and had great attitudes

Lindsey Ray

Edited to add: as of today, there is a pending deposit from AloftNot a great experience 2 nights of our 3 night stay we had no television

They came and looked at it and said they would fix but that never happened Our last night there, the shower head dripped and was hitting the metal drain pan I tried jusr closing the bathroom door but the rolling doors don’t close all the way A plastic piece of the door kept falling off but we could just put it back The chargers on the bedside tables seem like a great idea but they don’t fully charge even when on for 8 hrs Last day, our air conditioner couldn’t seem to get the room cool but maybe it was just so hot outside, it couldn’t keep upI told the lady at check out all of the issues and she was very nice and apologetic She said she didn’t have authority to really do anything about it and wrote it all down in a spiral and assured me someone would call No one did so I called a week later and spoke to front desk manger and she said we’d be refunded a night’s stay in 3-5 days Never happened I called again, still nothing Called and talked to GM,he assured me we would get the refund Never happened I have now left a couple messages and talked to a couple other people and while all mostly friendly, they are doing nothing I should have demanded it be taken care of at check out but I’ve honestly never dealt with such a shady hotel Our stay was Memorial weekend and still no resolution

Great place to stay 1st floor room was quiet even though right next to elevator Room was clean and well equipped

Terrific staff was cheerful and helpful I appreciated their assistance with switching out a hair dryer Every evening the lobby had freshly baked cookies and lemonade The bold coffee at breakfast was terrific The well equipped gym had towels, mats, and was placed close to the lobby Free Internet, parking, and breakfast Ihighly recommend this as a place to stay

GWB

Def not a 3 star I’d say The rooms were smaller than expected but had a few good touches

The breakfast was fine Nothing bad or good Just very average The showers have very low water pressure I wouldn’t stay here again I think its above average hotel More of a 2 star Then 3 Just newer build The staff were nice Just little above average in my book

D Williams

This was not the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in but it was pretty close The tv was inoperable for all of my 3 day stay I asked for assistance with it but they never came

The morning after my second request, I found out that the front desk person never created a ticket for itManagement does not have a handle on cleanliness Luckily, I came in with my own cleaning supplies There was hair in the sink and tub Stains on the toilet and the floor had lots of debris on it The two positives were that the air worked and the oatmeal at breakfast was decent

Wonderful stay and will become a fixture for us when we are in GeorgetownDanni and her husband were super gracious and understanding from start to finish Breakfast was amazing as well

The room was very clean and very comfortable The garden area is amazing and almost a reason in itself to revisit And as a bonus, the garden features the only warm and affectionate cat I’ve ever met :-)Just generally speakingvery well done all around!

Scott Hollenbeck

We just arrived back home after spending the weekend at the San Gabiel House for a wedding The staff, service, and attention to detail were excellent The house itself has a storied and interesting history, and to see it in its current form, you could not imagine it was used for anything else

It is a space that takes you back in time and provides a wonderfully simple ambiance that was quite welcoming All amenities were well thought out, and the food was exceptional While the weather prevented us from utilizing the backyard, the planning that went into the space would make it ideal for any outdoor event Overall, this experience ticked all the boxes Well worth the trip

Mary C Lamb

We were able to book a room at the last minute and were so pleased that we did! Danni and Mark, the innkeepers, are just delightful and Danni is such a tremendous cook The location is really close to the town square where all the quaint shops are We would definitely go again and recommend it for anyone who wants to get a break from their regular hustle-and-bustle

Excellent hotel Hotel was clean, modern and comfortable The room was cozy and the bed was super comfortable

Really liked the room layout Hotel lobby and staff were nice also My only complaint is not having a safe in the room Other than that everything was great, even the view from the room was nice Location is good Parking is well lit and felt safe

Kaychia Clark

Great hotel! I enjoyed my stay It was clean, comfortable, and great service Great for people who are in town on business

The lobby is set up in a way where you can work and feel comfortable Also have a small bar in the lobby which is very nice if you do feel like having a drink In addition, it’s in a great location with stores and restaurants close by I asked for a late checkout because I had a conference call at the exact time I was supposed to checkout and the staff was very accommodating My only complaint is the bed was very uncomfortable for me I woke up with some back pain Other than that, nice hotel 🏨

Linda K. Riles

The hotel was super clean I would’ve given a 5 for facility and a 4 for roomsIt was the shower floors that was messed up in 3 different rooms that we asked to be moved to

We gave up and settled for one(we were exhausted)But Miriam,front desk customer Assistant was STELLAR She hung in there with us making sure we were satisfied So patient, cordial, understanding and apologeticOverall, its really a nice location and nice clean environmentThank you Miriam for free breakfast 😋 😄🙏🏾

The bed closest to the bathroom in room 228 HAS BED BUGS! Me and my kids stayed after driving 4 hrs to get there and have to wake up in the middle of the night to being bitten and attacked by bed bugs! Upon notifying the front desk all they did was take my name and number and said they’d look into it smh! One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had staying in a so called nice hotel! We were already exhausted then to have to experience that we definitely did not get the rest we needed! Not to mention the ice machine didn’t work on our floor, the room only had 2 towels/washcloths had to get more, the pool was dirty towel bin was empty there was a pile of bricks in the area around the pool and literally less than 4 chairs just looked very abandoned and the pool was only 4 ft deep Couldn’t access the fitness room No clock in the room the telephone looked like it was used from an old motel the channel guide didn’t work on the TV and it didn’t even have all the channels that were listed on the paper guide

These hotels need to be shut down makes no sense to be so expensive and be of bad quality!

Andreas Meyer

Unprofessional Arrived late night after booking via portal and received confirmation On arrival the reception stated that the booking was canceled – no feedback to booking platform

The reception was incompetent and could not solve the issue No manager was available Not again The location is also in nowhere No place to go for dinner or drink closeby

This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at, and we’ve been to a lot The front desk staff was always very pleasant and helpful, and requests were tended to right away Our room was comfortable, spacious and very aesthetically pleasing

LOTS of counter and storage space everywhere and spacious vanity with bright lighting in the bathroom Whoever designed the layout and details of the rooms did a phenomenal job We couldn’t have been more comfortable except maybe a bit more seating options in our King room (the loveseat was too deep to be comfortable without lots of pillows) And as is with all the Marriott branded hotels, the bed was oh so comfy That’s our first requirement when looking for a hotelThe lobby was spacious and absolutely beautiful We ate at The Bistro, conveniently located in the lobby, and breakfast was amazing That’s the only meal we had since our stay was just one night After continuing on our journey and staying at the next hotel, we wished we could have stayed at this wonderful hotel the entire time We will definitely be back

Yolanda Y

The window in the room does not open so there is strong chemical/paint/furniture smells in the room Can smell it even when lying in bed trying to sleep The staff said that it’s for the safety of the guests but there are definitely better ways to protect the guests than making them feel trapped in the room they pay for

Told the management but they did nothing Would not recommend staying here

Cheryl Roberson

Pros: spacious, updated, bed is comfortable, pillows were comfortable and the staff was incredibly niceCons: NOISY! So incredibly noisy The soffit, above the bed, hold the pipes for the rooms above, so anytime someone flushed the toilet you heard it

The walls are incredibly thin! You can hear the TV in the room next doorI’d stay here again, in a pinch, but it wouldn’t be my first pick

Stayed three days on a business trip The staff was great Very friendly and helped get multiple rooms on the same floor

The rooms are really nice, with comfortable beds The facilities over all where really nice Now the shower in the room was the worst To management when I left, so hopefully the will fix It is all clogged with hard water deposits Take 5 minutes to try and wash shampoo out of hair and conditioner forget it The breakfast is the worst I have ever seen Noticed I did not say eaten The sausage gravy for Biscuits was half full 5 minutes into the start of breakfast It looked like it was sitting in the warmer from the day before Had dried out and they added a bunch of water to dilute the congealed mess The waffles oh one the great things about hotel breakfast Well the add extra water to the mix to stretch it The waffle are crispy ok nothing but crispy The soft fluffy inside is nonexistent This was the food I put on my plate One bite and decided not to eat The eggs looks dried out and very unappealing All three days I looked at the breakfast and was extremely disappointed Ended up skipping breakfast everyday

Jackie Corbett

My husband, son and I booked this hotel for 4 nights based on other wonderful stays we’ve had at homewood suites I paid up front non-refundable as I assumed our stay would be the same however, it was notOur room was not clean

The shower head had pink mold, the sink was broken, hairdryer was broken, there were ants in the room The first night we killed over 6 ants in our room, including one on my arm as I sat on the couch The second night my son woke up at 3am with ants crawling on him The next morning there were several ants on our bed I have pictures of all of thisNot only that, the second night, from 2-4:30am whomever was in the room next to ours was blaring music and going in and out of the room, pounding on the door every time to get back inThe next morning I went to the front desk to let them know our experience and although I was offered a different room, was unwilling to take it based on the condition of our room We asked for a refund and let the lady at the front desk we were leaving She said it wasn’t refundable and gave me a number to call for additional helpI called the number The rep said they would speak with the hotel manager and would take care of a refund I should hear from someone within 48 hours I received an email confirmation with a case number (the email said I’d hear back within 3days though) Today has been over 3days so I called the number again and spoke w/Roxanne She said she couldn’t figure out what was going on and transferred me directly to the hotel manager Unfortunately Roxanne connected me to a hotel in Maryland w/a rude hotel manager I hung up, called customer service again and spoke w/Abby who told me I needed to wait longer for a resolution-at least 5 days I was sent a final bill from the hotel today and nothing was refundedI expect more from Hilton…severely disappointed

Mary Dudley

I have stayed at this exact location multiple times Because of my disability we always get the same room Room was clean, front desk staff and housekeeping were all awesome as usual

We love this hotel Lately, 2 things have ruined our stay The pool was extremely dirty, and I mean cloudy and gritty Gross The next thing may possibly make me never go back The people serving breakfast are rude, like you are inconveniencing them Also, we went to breakfast about an hour before it closes and everything was about gone When we asked the person rolled their eyes and walked away We came back 30 minutes later and everything was gone They shut down breakfast early and the person we asked about food earlier was walking out the door with her purse on Next day, breakfast was closed down 15 minutes early and another customer was speaking to the staff and was told when the food is gone its gone They put stuff out first thing in the morning and that’s it The customer was irate and the staff member couldn’t care less Breakfast problems and rude staff are a deal breaker I’ve been loyal to this place, but I probably won’t go back I’ve got hungry kids and no patience for rude people on the job

Travis, the GM was working the desk when we checked in last Friday and for what seemed like the rest of that weekend I am not sure if he was short staffed or what but he certainly did not show it Great service and attitude

Always very friendly and would address you in passing You can tell that he loves what he does and we enjoyed our stay! When our family comes back we will absolutely stay here again!

Bryan Enney

Let me start by saying all the staff was amazing! Very friendly and very helpful, could not ask for more Honestly some of the best staff at a hotel I have seen in a very long time The room on the other hand was kinda lacking

We stayed in room 411, the toilet seat is yellow, the sink was cracked, tub faucet leaked all night, one set of blinds did not work, stains on the walls and carpet, front door does not close properly so you have to push it closed kinda hard I know they are doing a renovation on the hotel but for the $359 I spent I was hoping for better Parking was kinda meh, they are currently repainting the exterior and their lifts took up a few spaces The staff is the reason I gave 3 stars instead of 1

If you are looking for clean, kind staff, and affordable… go here !!! I stayed here for a few days and I plan on going back the next time I’m in town The front desk worker, Michelle I believe her name was, was absolutely amazing and helped me get a room almost instantly! Everyday I was given clean towels, more coffee replacements, and extra shampoos and conditioners Most affordable clean inn anywhere near the area and definitely recommend!

Damon Blane

I loved this hotel The staff was great The only thing I had an issue with was check in

I suggest with this hotel calling and letting them know if you’re going to be late so you won’t have any issues (my opinion) lucky for me I booked a room so I didn’t have any worries The room was definitely worth the price and i will be staying here again

We had the best breakfast, eggs were cooked perfectly, sausage was amazing and the oatmeal was on point The breakfast area was really neat, clean and organized The lady serving us was really sweet and very helpful her, name was Felipa she made us feel just as if we were home with mom

Great job and service Mrs Felipe you made our day !!!! I hope to come back soon to her service and her good breakfast:)

Rosalba Martinez

This place is clean and neat The breakfast is your standard breakfast of eggs, sausage, cereal, bagels, fruit and coffeeI had an issue on checkout

Since it was a business trip, I had a scheduled business session The front desk took 15 hours in resolving my checkout issue I won’t go into details but the delay caused me to miss a morning business sessionIt took the manager over an hour to get there since the young lady did not know how to correct the paperworkThe owner shows up, cool as a cucumber and did not say a wordThe computers were slow, the manager was late and we finally left with corrected receipt in handNo apologies, no credit, no words

This hotel could easily achieve a 5 star rating by paying more attention to bathrooms and maintenanceUpon entering the room I was impressed by the efficient use of space to tuck a mini-fridge kitchen area in right by the entry, leaving a huge space for a double service desk for my partner and I to both fit comfortably A fold up couch and full swing TV allowed us to move around the space and be comfortable throughout

The bed slept awesome and the building was exceptionally quiet Then I went into the bathroomThis hotel outfitted their bathrooms with the cheapest plastic bathtub I have ever seen outside of an RV There was no exhaust fan The toilet seat hung by one broken fitting and the toilet paper holder was hanging off the wall as though someone had used it as a handicapped bar, pulling one anchor out of the wall The commode was so short, I felt it would fit better in an elementary school rather than a Hilton hotel, perhaps why some needed the TP holder to get out of the hole once they fell in The toilet was also too close to the wall, making it a difficult prospect to sit down without scraping one’s elbow all the way down to the incredibly low seat Finally, it was a billy goat bathroom, I had to straddle the seat to close the doorAll in all a 5 star room made into a 3 star experience by poor bathroom engineering and a lack of maintenance

We had our family vacation a week ago for 2 nights 3 days Our girls had so much fun, the rooms are so nice and clean, the water park is huge We had so much fun! The arcade was the best, we did the escape room, did bowling night and we ate dinner there

Everything was just perfect for our mini vacation That my girl’s want to go backgreat great place for your family!

Jamie P.

The water park and outdoor pool area were both amazing! Our family had a blast! My review is more concerning the hotel and dining experienceFood and drinks were decent, but you will pay arena prices Highly suggest going to HEB down the street and picking up snacks and bottled water

The room (we had a 2 bed/2 bath) was new and clean, but a bit sparse in decoration I am curious as to why ice buckets are unavailable as it is hard to keep it solid with just a plastic bagHousekeeping did not make it into our room once during our 4 nights/3 days trip We were out of our room plenty of times for them to take advantage of cleaning and tidying up We finally just called down for fresh items to be delivered We had turn down service included in our VIP package but that never happened We also had housekeeping knock on our door the morning of our final day and ask when we were leaving Our package included a 2:00 pm check out so shouldn’t this be something that they are already aware of?

Lilly Defee

It was a great time The food was good It was a little pricey, but you expect that at places like this

When the food and service are good, you don’t mind the price so bad I would have personally liked more lighting, especially in the bathroom Makes it difficult for applying makeup I think the bungalows should have had a lower price if you are an overnight guest We all had a really good time Thank you!🤗🤗

Kaushal Shah

It started with one hour early check-in which was the only good thing to say about our stay After that, we were notified of shortage of staff and room service is not available everyday This is a deal breaker

Having so many other options to stay, the reason we chose this hotel over AirBnb was room service and breakfast We did not get room service for our entire stay of 3 nights We put the garbage outside of the room and no one picked up the garbage Breakfast: didn’t have vegetarian option except milk and cereals No breads or bagels Juice machine was broken as if it’s a thing in hotels nowadays I haven’t had this bad experience at other Marriott properties 1 star is because of room size

The holloway family

The hotel is very old and stale The carpet is filthy We only stayed one night because we couldn’t get out money back,but had to cancel our other night because we could not tolerate the filth

I probably used an entire bottle of Lysol trying to disinfect the room Did I say the carpet is filthy, the bathroom floor was disgusting, the pillow cases were dirty Even the free lotion that every hotel provides looked 1980ish The rooms are super small I have stayed in a Motel 8 and that hotel was better than this hotel I’m not going to get started on the subpar breakfast Muffins smelled like play dough I could go on and on, but do not pay anything more than $75/night for this hotel Trust me, you will be highly disappointed I hope that my negative review will motivate management to fix the problem

The hotel was filthy and it seems like Marriott retrofitted an old hotel into its chain The room amenities did not work as expected The fridge leaked water in the room floors, the microwave did not work and the ac/heat were either too hot or cold

It could not be controlled We just stayed there for a night but it was probably my least favorite stay in a Marriott chain I would not recommend it to anyone

Park staff is wonderful and very helpful The park sits on a beautiful greenbelt that leads to brushy creek Great place to walk your dogs and relax

The clubhouse, pool and hot tub are amazing and well kept The community fire pit is great for cool nights and making new memories The park is conveniently located close to Hutto and Round Rock with access to the 130 toll less than 3 minutes away

Absolutely loved staying here! This RV park is well kept and I enjoyed the creek nearby! I stayed for about 3 months for work and have no complaints in that time! Their paved RV spots were very appreciated when it came to leveling The staff was very helpful and always pleasant! They even offered assistance if we needed it to help us set up our RV since it was our first time! The showers were nice and clean and the laundry room! Also loved the dog park for our doggo, the pool, and hot tub! It’s a bit of a drive to Austin (less than an hour) but well worth it!

This hotel was great! My mother and I were visiting family near by to deliver Christmas gifts about 2 weeks before Christmas so we could avoid holiday traffic Both of my parents are retired military so, as I’m sure you can assume, we moved a lot and stayed in hotels frequentlyUpon checking in they were friendly, and even offered to help carry our things upstairs

We noticed that it was very crowed, but that’s ok When we got to the room it was clean, nice, and comfortable too During the night it was quiet which was very nice considering I have insomnia, and am a light sleeperThis hotel was a blessing in disguise because the night before we stayed in a best western inn plus in George town, and it was horrible The best western inn was loud all night and the staff did nothing about it So with thing one being so quiet it was very nice, and I finally got some sleep on our tripMy mother also learned that this hotel is a family owned one, and i just wanted to say its 100% worth it and so nice Its a even distance between all my family members that live down there too So whenever my mom and I need to visit family down there we know where we will be staying from now on, right here at Taylor Village Inn and Suites!

The staff was incredible! From the front desk to the wonderful people who cleaned the rooms I was so pleasantly surprised when I arrived We were traveling from Georgia, so when I had looked up the room on booking

com i was so nervous the microtel would be a dump, considering how low the price was compared to the hotels surrounding this one But it was the complete opposite Everything about this hotel surpassed my expectations The staff was amazing, the lobby and rooms were so clean, the beds were comfortable, any questions we had was responded to in the nicest of manners I highly recommend this place! You won’t find anything else this nice for the money you spend

Tasha R

It was a good location and quite Even with the room being directly across from the elevator we were not able to hear any noise outside the room Linens and towels were clean and well maintained

I will say that the room was hot when we first got in and didn’t cool down to a tolerable temp until the middle of the night The room had an odor as if someone had smoked in it but that was mitigated with a candle The mattress was VERY firm and not comfortable for me as a prefer something softer The site noted that the would be a microwave and mini fridge in the room but there was none so leftovers that we had spoiled and had to be thrown out

I could rave on and on about this place! Comfortable beds with soft sheets, gorgeous spacious bathroom with nice big bottles of JR Watkins toiletries, good grab and go breakfast with hot and cold options, coffee all day that actually tastes good, and just an overall clean facility (no carpet in the rooms is a huge plus) Our room did have a small cube fridge and microwave, which wasn’t clear when booking, but a very nice surprise The whole place is just super well put together, and we were thrilled with our stay

This place had absolutely everything I look for in a hotel I’m definitely hooked on the avid brand and will be a repeat customer if the prices remain comparable

We literally just checked out, and this modern hotel is Absolutely one of the best hotels we have stayed in…and yes, that is considering the high value hotels! As an Army veteran, I have traveled all across this country, and one thing that makes my stay the best is the customer The customer service here is second to none!!!! No matter what concern I had, they were prompt, professional, and kind while addressing this issue!Additionally, the breakfast options were amazing! My children loved everything they had to offer, and that’s rare 😁 The hotel is kept clean and stocked with some of the best snack option And the coffee was freshly brewed in a machine that literally grind up the coffee beans to order! Wow!!!!!!From Becky’s great welcome, the young man on 3rd shifts’ integrity and professionalism, housekeeping’s hard-work, maintenance’s kindness, to Erin’s generosity to my children before leaving, WE LOVED this hotel staff!!! Don’t be fooled by the low cost, you will be getting top notch service!!

I booked this hotel for a work trip that I had in town I feel that the hotel was clean – check in was easy and every encounter that I had with the staff there was great! Everyone was very nice and friendly The breakfast was also nice

One item to note is that the room is TINY – even by NYC standards I could barely walk around the bed – which was not I expected It is also close to the highway so it was a little loud at night There are also no drawers for clothing or a closet in my room (one king)I liked the gym – I will say that it was well equipped and fully functional! A highlight of the property for certain!The other item to note is that there was no housekeeping I feel that is just ridiculous So everyone can be congregated at breakfast with no masks, staff does not have to wear a mask (which is consistent with CDC guidelines so no issue there) but you don’t have housekeeping because of COVID? That does not make a whole lot of sense and just looks like a cost saving effort on the hotels part It was frustrating to have keep asking for fresh towels/soap etc from the front deskIf you are going to reduce your rates to account for the lack of housekeeping, that is one thing – but to charge full fare for no housekeeping, I did not think was fairOverall, liked the property so I would stay here again though
