"Very clean and spacious. The bathroom was also large and clean. We had a room with a kitchenette so you could quickly prepare something yourself. The breakfast was a bit more varied for Texas. There was even yogurt and fruit. The location is a bit confusing, even with the satnav. But once you figure it out, the hotel is quiet despite being close to the highway. Clearly recommended."

"Loved our stay here! Cabins are exactly as pictured with all the amenities you need for your stay. Such a nice concept to enjoy nature and unplug. Firewood, s’mores, snacks, coffee, cutlery etc all provided. Warm water supply and great water pressure for the shower. One thing to note is that having a US phone number is necessary for easy communication with the hotel - my messages didn’t deliver to them so I had to communicate via phone calls/emails which took a bit more time and not as convenient if you need something. Check in was easy with info provided about cabin name and lock code."

"Families like the restaurant and bar for post evening activities. BE AWARE, The pool is NOT secure. The gate to the pool can be opened from the front parking lot without a key.Being on the interstate frontage makes it loud outside as well. A more secure pool area would be required for me to come back with my family Ice makers weren't working but the front desk had access to bar/restaurant ice maker. Filtered water and coffee were always available in lobby. Not impressed with breakfast. BE AWARE, a google review will get you a free breakfast. Kids 11u eat free. Otherwise it'll set you back $10. I'd consider breakfast avg if it were included, but expected more since it's an add-on. Only one of the 2 stairwells reach the lobby directly. Only 1 of the 2 elevators were available, having the internal stairwell is very important."

Facilities: Complete facilities, the room is quite spacious. Hygiene: Average, meeting the general requirements of hotels of the same specifications. Environment: Although it is a bit of walking distance from the business district, it feels safe. It is not far from the outlets and business district by car.
