The hotel is located at the intersection of Highway 12 and IH 35, which is perfect for those going to Market Days in Wimberley. The rooms met our expectations, smelling fresh and feeling like a mini apartment. The service was friendly, helpful, and very courteous, doing what they could under current circumstances. The location was in a good spot and easy to get to, offering a good parking place. The dining experience provided the convenience of a complete kitchenette in the hotel room combined with homemade Belgian waffles. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and didn't have that musky smell, perfect for my late-night arrival when I was feeling unwell. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The location was convenient, right on I-35, close to outlet malls, the campus, and everything in San Marcos. However, the dining options were lacking and non-existent, which was disappointing.
