From all appearances, this former jewel of Salado appears to be on its last legs. The staff was nice and the room was clean, but the property appears to be struggling. Modest room rate was commensurate with overall property condition. TV reception was out. No phone in room (used my cell phone to call main number and got a recording with 4 menu prompts that did not include “front desk,” “reception” or “reservations,” and got someone to answer only 1 of 5 times). Driveways, parking lots and sidewalks cracked and uneven. Dead leaves, downed tree limbs, sawed up tree trunks on property grounds. Property surrounded by tall, game-preserve-style fencing that blocked entrance on I-35 frontage road. Buildings shuttered and padlocked. Restaurant closed “for renovations.” A sad sight for anyone familiar with the Inn’s better days.
