The General Manger Grace was a very polite and helpful when we arrived to the hotel. But the housekeeping staff on the other hand came in our room and threw blankets over bed and didn't fix the bed or clean the room at all during our stay.

Although we loved the location of the hotel, the furniture in the room was a huge turn off. If wasn’t very comfortable, seemed cheap, and didn’t go with a hotel in the beautiful hill country. In addition the carpet was horrible. I will definitely rethink staying here next time I visit Blenco.

The staff was amazing, the hotel is newly renovated and some bit of construction is still ongoing but the property looks very clean and inviting, the room was large and very spacious with a very modern aesthetic. Over all we had a great experience and will definitely stay there again.

All the staff that we met were super. They want to make sure your stay is a pleasant one. The room was Very Spacious. At least 10 foot ceilings. Biggest room I’ve stayed in (it was a premium suite). But they said all their rooms are spacious.

This is an older hotel that is making strides to update/modernize the building and the guest rooms. The room was quiet on the side not facing the highway. The room was pleasant and showed that updates had benn made. Lobby and entrance was ok with more updates still in the works. Free breakfast was offered that would be considered minimal by most hotels. At least something was offered.

This place is awesome. Despite the lobby being under construction (because its a new hotel, not reservations), DO NOT MISS THIS STAY.
