I’d stay there again

Location to town was good. A little too far to walk to down town but the parking was excellent and convenient. Relaxing atmosphere and the on sight restaurant was very good.

Great for Motorcycles!

Perfect place for a motorcycle trip. Fair price, good location. Exceptional owners! The place has had a nice facelift, but could still use some more, Bathrooms are in need of remodel.

Nice motel
Thomas, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Pretty good for a weekend motorcycle trip

It was okay. Main complaint is that the Wi-Fi kept kicking me off so I had to go thru the login process many times. Bed and pillows were nice and comfortable. Clean and plenty of hot water.
Jason, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Not that good anymore....

including breakfast is a tie braker and they took that out so i guess its better to pay $20 more per night on a better hotel that includes breakfast. No cleaning service, just replaced towels.

Lana, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place to stay

The room was very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable, nice size TV, microwave/refrigerator. Great location, close to everything. The onsite restaurant was really really good and great service. The only bad thing at all was the towels were very small and non absorbant. We would definately stay there again.

2/10 Poor

Nightmare

Scary. Horrible experience. Checked out early. Couldn't get ahold of manager nor anyone at Hotels.com. People hanging around out my door smoking cigarettes. I couldn't walk out feeling safe. Dingy towels. Shower curtain moldy. Bugs in the room. Photos need no descriptions. Would not recommend

Bandera Rally

Overall it was a nice stay the only issues we had was the microwave didn't work, and the TV wasn't hooked up right, only 1 wash cloth for a 2 bed room. Area was nice.
Lisa, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

Bad experience

The service upon check-in was very good. The room on the other hand was not good. Overall, the motel needs an upgrade. The toilet seat in our room was very loose. The bathroom door had two ceramic tiles taped to the door to cover an apparent hole in the door. The AC unit leaked water in the room, and I had to summon someone to mop up the water. Overall, the room was very outdated, with dirty tile, the bathroom door frame was rotting away, and the sink had chips in it. There is a restaurant adjacent to the property, so parking is an issue. My wife is unsteady on her feet so would have liked to park closer to our room. The only redeeming factor was a large screen TV. Bandera is a popular place to visit, but recommend staying elsewhere!
