Pros (+) the staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and the breakfast bar is small but sufficient. Nice lounge and eating area. Great location, close to expressway, small towns but also close to Austin and San Antonio.
Cons (-) The pool was not operable. We stayed there during spring break 2015 and it was being worked on and again in December.
