Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I felt that $124 was too much for the stay and occupancy. Checked in. Guy was nice. Gave me a water. Go to the room on 100 degree day and no water! City shut off main. Not property fault. But nasty after a long day riding. Toilet was not bolted to floor. Tv was really nice.

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 Overall, the room was very outdated, with dirty tile, the bathroom door frame was rotting away, and the sink had chips in it.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!

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

Improvement from prior stays. There are only two hotels in Bandera, so choice is limited. There are several cabins in the area.
