The hotel was nice, clean, and convenient to see the Christmas lights in the Texas hill country - especially Johnson City as its only 15 min away. However, the hotel was short staffed on maids and although the room was clean they left a sponge on the counter and the water slightly running in the bathtub and we had an amazing view out our window but the windows were filthy. The bed linens were nice, the bed was a little firm for my liking, breakfast was good and staff was friendly. I would stay there again for a night or two due to price and convenience.

The air conditioner in our room did not work. Luckily it was not too hot outside but it was still warm in our room. The stay would have been a lot more pleasant if the air conditioner had worked. It was very disappointing since we had a premium king room. The woman at the front desk, when we finally were able to find her, simply said “Sorry” but there was no compensation for the inconvenience. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was just ok.

The General Manger Grace was a very polite and helpful when we arrived to the hotel. But the housekeeping staff on the other hand came in our room and threw blankets over bed and didn't fix the bed or clean the room at all during our stay.

Although we loved the location of the hotel, the furniture in the room was a huge turn off. If wasn’t very comfortable, seemed cheap, and didn’t go with a hotel in the beautiful hill country. In addition the carpet was horrible. I will definitely rethink staying here next time I visit Blenco.

The staff was amazing, the hotel is newly renovated and some bit of construction is still ongoing but the property looks very clean and inviting, the room was large and very spacious with a very modern aesthetic. Over all we had a great experience and will definitely stay there again.

All the staff that we met were super. They want to make sure your stay is a pleasant one. The room was Very Spacious. At least 10 foot ceilings. Biggest room I’ve stayed in (it was a premium suite). But they said all their rooms are spacious.

This is an older hotel that is making strides to update/modernize the building and the guest rooms. The room was quiet on the side not facing the highway. The room was pleasant and showed that updates had benn made. Lobby and entrance was ok with more updates still in the works. Free breakfast was offered that would be considered minimal by most hotels. At least something was offered.
