It served the purpose of a place to sleep. The area was quiet which was great. Motel is dated but in good condition. The room offers cable tv, coffee maker, dryer and small fridge, shampoo, conditioner and bar soap provided. Bed was too firm for my comfort.

At first glance this place can look a little dated but the bed is amazingly comfortable along with the pillows. The motel is quiet, very close to down town, cute and charming. The staff are all friendly and helpful. And the motel is very convenient to everything you need or want. I felt extremely safe traveling alone here. Should I come back I will definitely be staying here!

It was a mile walk from Main st marketplace during Oktoberfest and the historical downtown area, 25 minutes from Enchanted Rock. Keep in mind it is the last building of the Main street, rock & dirt entrance, and it is a 1970's style "Motel". Dated decor and simple dorm type bathroom, but clean towels. However, it fit the need to rest and shower as needed. Very quiet area, accessible pool, be careful with the wandering deer.

I love a motel in general. I also love supporting small businesses. Generally, I feel like that might mean I sacrifice good toiletries but those were good too. Our window opened up on a lovely meadow with deer in it. It was peaceful and quiet and I was confident that that money we spent stayed in that community.

Outdated but safe and clean. As long as you know the trade-off for the lower rates, it's an acceptable option on a tight budget.

The property first off was listed as Pet Friendly, it wasn't, no pet allowed. It also was a dingy and unsafe looking property, nothing like the photos on website. The owner allowed us to cancel the reservation for the first night that we had made on his website. However, when I went on expedia to cancel, wouldn't allow with a refund. The owner said he had nothing to do with the expedia website and couldn't refund our money for the night of 4th July.

Lovely location in the Hill Country
We were very impressed with the "old meets the new" atmosphere of The Dietzel. Check in was easier than most places we've been. Through no fault of the hotel, the event we came for ended earlier than we expected and we elected to drive home instead of staying the night, so we never actually used the room.
