The property is a bit older, but it is well maintained. The staff is very helpful, courteous and cheerful. I have stayed here before, the rates are great and the location is perfect for a relaxing stay in the Hill Country. We have family in San Antonio and Austin and this is a great place to stay in between both cities.
