Rockdale Hotels

Quiet comfortable

Friendly service. The room was fine.

The internet did not work and there was not cell service signal in the building for either Verizon or Sprint. Out by the street I could get Sprint.

The manager was so accommodating. I needed to stay during one day instead of over night and he let me into a room at 9am and let me check out at 5 pm with my one night stay reservation. He asked if I needed anything and how I liked the room.

The restaurant next door was closed.

The staff was very friendly and helpful

Not enough towels

Owners we tank w and beyond. Love the quaint cottages. Much nicer than hotels. Establishment has a lot of history.

Staying at the oldest continually operating motel in Texas--you feel like you are almost a time-traveler....this could be in Mayberry! Various styles of units on acres of lawn, shaded adirondack chairs, bird houses, a couple of resident cats. Imagine your grandparents as newlyweds pulling in and staying a few days. It is modest and totally refreshing. Coffee pot in the room but a 30 second walk to the office for complimentaryKeurig coffee, a newspaper, muffins, apples, and the proprietors even provide some nuts, power bars, and biscotti to take in the car or nibble with the bottle of wine you brought with you. A grocery store is 5 minutes down the road. Tasteful antiques, Pottery Barn linens, curiosities and conversation--or solitude. Tennessee Williams stayed here in 1939 and he could have done some work---it's an hour and a half northeast of Austin on a secondary but easy highway. Great place to explore small town real Texas. Drove to Calvert,TX for antiques and people watching. This place is not for you if you need a pool, room service, a flat screen TV or a minibar. OK for well behaved kids. I had a comfy queen bed in a cozy room and a fabulous shower head in the real bathtub---and the A/C kept me comfy in the middle of June. 0h and did I mention $59 a night?

Neighborhood lacks charm but is quiet. Internet access seemed too challenging to bother with.

Price and availability

it was pretty dingy, but seemed clean enough

Air conditioner worked good

Took 15 minutes to get the shower to work properly. TV had no reception...I mean ZERO channels. I also think there was a drug dealer in the room above us. Major traffic in and out of his room at all hours of the night.

The staff was outstanding! Rooms were clean and the breakfast bar was kept stocked.
