Superb Anniversary Getaway
Reviewed By T4774DGdennismThis incredible property features well-appointed and charming cabins nestled throughout a wonderfully landscaped countryside replete with all the splendors of the Texas Hill country. Morning strolls, afternoon relaxation and evening activities were greatly enhanced by the natural beauty and grace Barons has to offer. The service was above and beyond all expectations. The Club was simply marvelous with an excellent selection of food, wine and fabulous desserts. Barons Creekside is suitable for romance, family get-togethers or just a weekend getaway. Its proximity to town, wineries and outdoor venues combined with its intrinsic charm is a true Texas delight.

Attention to details! Cool modern western vibe with fun surprises all around!
Reviewed By DanauscWe were craving a staycation and decided to do this over the memorial weekend. Best decision! We loved the eclectic luxury and the fun new western design. I’m not a cowboy type at all (sneakers are my life) and I loved the how hard they represented Fort Worth and the western roots. Super opposite of a lot of other modern new places that are trying too hard to be a city they aren’t. Highlights: 1. The rooms! We didn’t get the best view but the decor and attention to detail was insane. Fun surprises everywhere from a dozen lighting configurations to the smoothest sheets my toes have ever touched. 2. The grounds - the lobby was straight out of instagram. Be prepared for the coolest backdrop to surround you when you sip your cocktails. The pool also had a super chill but fun vibe. Also the place feels small and boutique but the more you explore, the more you surprised you find (like the front swinging loungers to the corn hole stations and fire pits. 3. Friendly service - the pool attendants were on point and helped with all requests. Same goes to the servers. I didn’t love the front desk experience since they seemed rushed and didn’t explain much about the hotel, but I highly Recommend downloading the Marriott Bonvoy app and using the messaging features. The responses are so fast. They even hooked us up with a great kids experience when at the last minute plans changed with our 3 year joining us, and I let them know in the app and they added some cool kid friendly amenities to the room (stool, stuffed horse toy, crayons and scavenger hunt). TripAdvisor Note: - I read previous reviews and agreed that they did cook some of the reviews since it’s obvious the valets wrote at least a dozen of them. They were fine but no reason to write a hotel review about the valets. Not loving this. Management - are y’all aware of this? - the negative reviews are from people that paid very high rates. I can see this being frustrating if you paid a super high rate during a very busy stay. Not sure if it’s worth $650+ a night for a standard room (we didn’t pay that) especially if service is busy. Hoping we didn’t just get lucky on the service! Tip: stay if there is a special Drover event (eg around Christmas). We learned about the hotel when a friend invited us to go with them to see Santa there. They hook it up nicely for their guests during special holiday events! (S’mores!) Highly recommend the Drover, especially if you can get a “good” rate during a less than super busy day.

The Ruby is a small, independent hotel in Round Rock, convenient to Austin, with the simple promise of allowing you to discover service, hospitality and surroundings that will delight you. Our hotel offers rooms & suites with sweeping views of Brushy Creek. Enjoy a refreshing beverage from the Ruby Bar while relaxing by the pool-side, strolling through the gardens, or overlooking the creek.
Great little place to stay
Reviewed By F6475BTjmThis is a charming little boutique hotel located on Brushy Creek near the Chisholm Trail. It’s within walking distance to downtown Round Rock. The rooms are quirky and modern. They are very neatly kept. It’s a step off the beaten path, but it makes it very nice since no road noise can be heard. The balcony was nice. And overlooked the creek. You could watch ducks, geese, and kayakers pass by drinking your morning coffee. They have an in room espresso machine, but not a coffee maker. They also did not have a microwave in the room, but you could go to the fitness center and use the one in there. The bar was cute. All of the staff were extremely nice. We only had a couple of issues when we stayed… but neither of which was the hotel’s fault. We had very rude next door neighbors that decided to get rip roaring drunk and forget anyone else was staying at the hotel or might be trying to sleep. We alerted the hotel staff, and the issue was taken care of immediately. They were also very helpful with suggestions on local places to eat and visit. Very lovely place to stay.

NEVER AGAIN
Reviewed By Departure48360964942I’ve never had a bad experience at a Comfort Suites until now. Nothing looks clean and it smells. The rooms are not at all what the pictures show! The beds were awful. Just nothing good to say about this location. I know momma said if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all but people need to be warned before making reservations!

We are not your typical Island Hotel, we have lots of tropical atmosphere with a Hot Tub, Pool , Patio Bar, and Inside Bar. The Hotel is an ADULT only Hotel, you must be 18 or older to stay with us. We are a 2 minute walk from the Beach. Our staff is the most welcoming and the friendliest on the island! Don't believe me check out our reviews. The Hotel is an older wooden building but what we lack in being brand new, we gain in Hospitality! Come stay with us and I know you will come back again!
Best Hotel Staff Around
Reviewed By Z4198ZFtarabMy sister and I stayed here at the end of March, and we had a great time! The staff was the most friendly and accommodating hotel staff we have ever met. The location is great as well. You can walk most places, and there are also multiple bus stops nearby if you don't want to walk. I would highly recommend staying here!

Non existent housekeeping during a 45 day stay (rates were full price)
Reviewed By smontgomerycasaI am a Platinum Hilton Honors member who was staying 45 nights after a speedy sale of my home. The rate was standard without discount for a long stay which was fine but the lack of housekeeping, despite frequent requests, was not fine. My shower was cleaned zero times. Disgusting! The sheets were rarely changed unless I completely stripped the bed and piled them on the floor. I even sent an email to the owner of this Hilton hotel with my experience and did not receive a response. It was truly astonishing how bad it was.

If you are looking for a private peaceful retreat or the opportunity to meet and mingle with other guests, the President’s House is sure to meet all your expectations. Breakfast is always served in the dining room, or weather permitting, you might choose to have it on the patio. Whatever the case you won’t be disappointed.
We’ve stayed here many times and the rooms are beautiful and very clean. The owners are very friendly. Great Experience!
Reviewed By Marsha HWe have stayed here many times and the rooms are beautiful and very clean! The attention to detail throughout the house is refreshing. It’s like a home away from home. The owners work very hard to make sure each visit is perfect. The surrounding grounds are peaceful and well maintained. I highly recommend staying here. You will not be disappointed.

Located in the heart of Marfa, Texas, The Lincoln offers a stay unlike any other in town, providing all the comforts of a private vacation home within walking distance to everything Marfa has to offer. These unique, eclectic suites are booked exclusively online. No front desk. Just find your room, drop your bags, and STAY LIKE A LOCAL.
Well appointed, private and full of modern charm.
Reviewed By stepworthMy husband and I are frequent Marfa travelers. We love the area, and the discovery of new experiences -- and people -- each and every trip. We have lodged in all of Marfa's best hotels, and have enjoyed some remarkable Airbnb accommodations, but nothing could have quite prepared us for what Adam and Clark have created with the Lincoln. Our casita (number 7) was simply wonderful -- well appointed, spacious, every conceivable amenity, quiet, convenient. Nothing in central Marfa is more than a 10 minute walk. With an understated charm often sought but rarely achieved by hosts and boutique hotels, The Lincoln has nailed it. After 14 years of coming to this enchanted region of Far West Texas, we are hooked. We cannot wait to return. Thanks, guys, for making the Lincoln Marfa's best home away from home. We will be back.

Great Value, Super Convenient, Comfort & Clean
Reviewed By Tracy DThis location is great fot those who need to be near shopping, restaurants, and more. Convenience GALORE!! There's a gas station and great convenience store right next door that sells some delicious breakfast tacos in the morning. A modern washateria too. And if you want to save gas, there's a Houston Metro bus stop right in front (route 161). The hotel has a beautifully updated interior design. A great cable package. Clean and well-appropriated exercise room right in the front. And the staff is so very helpful and friendly! ? Shout outs to Ms. Rukhsana, Ms. Sandra, Flavia, Valerie, and not to mention the manager, Vip, and the rest of the front desk staff. We could not have found a better place to stay in West Houston. ✔️
