We stayed at the Schillinghaus, "Das Blaue Zimmer," aka, the Blue Room. You are given a text prior…read moreto your arrival with an entry code. The building is secure, with a code to get into the building and to your room. There is a covered parking area that is very near the Schillinghaus entrance, which is on the back side of a dental office. This is not a typical bed and breakfast, as no breakfast is actually served. You are given two, $5 coupons with your choice of three local eateries/convenience stores. You also have a fully functional kitchen in your room. The kitchen has complimentary coffee, chips, soda, water, oatmeal, and crackers. There is a full size fridge, microwave, stove, coffee maker, and other kitchen items in the closet. You must climb stairs to get to your room, but no fear, they will soon be opening a handicap accessible, "white room," which will be ground level. Everything was extremely clean, stylish, and homey. The bathroom has lots of towels, rose petals soaps, and all toilette are stocked - shampoo, body wash, tooth paste, tooth brushes, and floss were all available, as well as a hair dryer. The bedroom had a queen size bed, which was rather hard, but the pillows were heavenly. There is WiFi, which was weak in the room, but functional. There is a TV in the bedroom and living room. There is a shared fitness room - which consists of an elliptical - between two rooms. I am giving Schillinghaus 4 out of 5 stars because it was private, homey, and relaxing, however, you can hear nearby road noise, the bed was not as comfortable as I would like, and the stairs were a surprise. Everything else was absolutely perfect. You have little to no human contact, which was perfect for me. The only reason we saw anyone is they were working outside and we happened to see them as we were leaving. After saying all this, I would definitely recommend Schillinghaus to a friend. In fact, I would love to go back!

This little hotel on the square in Saint Jo Texas is a quaint whistle stop on the road to a North…read moreTexas weekend- whether it's a winery destination, an art gallery, Ancient Ovens or a motorcycle ride through ranch country. This self service hotel which has been remade from offices and a Lions Club has five rooms - each decorated differently and perfectly. You enter the front door with a passcode and proceed up a wooden staircase to Grandmas room or The Bunkhouse (a rustic favorite) or the Country Room. There are no TVs here but wifi speed is good and strong. The property is under new management when I visited recently on my second stay- and they are helpful, eager to please and friendly in every way. The housekeeper even emailed me to see if there was anything I needed special in my room. They have a large saloon room outfitted with a full kitchen, pool table, leather sofas and a bar. There is plenty of good quality coffee and tea for your morning routine here. But if you wish to reheat some leftovers or your cup of morning joe-bring a coffee mug or a plate as there are only styrofoam cups or metal mugs here that won't go in the microwave. That being said everything else here is pretty much spot on just right! Beds are comfortable, rooms are spotless, spacious, fun and well thought out. I have stayed here twice- once in Grandmas room (which had a washer dryer ) and once in the Country Room. The rooms have ample closet space (more than I have at home). Some rooms have multiple beds and sitting rooms or foyers - all decorated in period Victorian or rustic style depending on which room you are in. Definitely make this a pit stop when in the northern hill country of Texas. Tip: the only breakfast place in St Jo is the Dairy Queen- so bring some breakfast items for yourself when you check in.

We spent a few days in St Jo to visit our adult kids and stayed at Texas Kings Hotel!…read moreIt was an awesome stay. The hotels decor is quaint and original. My husband was afraid it may be haunted.. and I hear some in town say it is. I did not feel a ghost! Lol The rooms are amazing and the great common area was a pleasant surprise! Beautiful wood floors, big screen tv, pool table and kitchen with a huge bar. This is a perfect hotel to rent for family reunions, bachelor/bachelorette parties, hunters and fishermen! We were there during the week and had this hotel to ourselves.. what a pleasant stay! St Jo is a small Texas town almost 1.5 hours from Dallas and located in the country with beautiful Texas you "expect" to see. There are lakes for fishing, private hunting lands for hunters, wineries and quaint mom and pop restaurants and shops within St Jo and neighboring towns. What I also learned is that it is located in a heavily travelled bike route! It's a great place to stay the night. Texas Kings Hotel is located on the town square. There is a tattoo shop that just opened up next door to the hotel and the wife is adding a grab and go deli, which is going to be great for the hotel guests. I suggest getting out of the city to experience small town charm. We loved it and can't wait to see what the locals do in this small Texas town. Cant wait to stay again!

Some things seemed clean, towels and sheets. The not so good: this is what a motel looks like when the owner doesn't reinvest enough money into the property. Many places in the hallway and room had bad areas on the walls, paint peeling and bubbled up, that looked like water damage. The window in the room had two locks on it, one was broken so the noise from highway 35 was louder since it wouldn't seal completely. Carpets had stains in places. Chair in the room was worn. Bathroom had a water leak. Easy to tell because the bathroom vanity was swollen and missing the finish in places from what appears to be water damage. The tile in the bathroom must of come loose and repaired badly. The bottom of the bathroom door looks like it has suffered from water damage. No body wash in the dispenser in the shower. Voicemail still on the phone from 3 months ago. The WiFi didn't work. The furniture and fixtures will get worse if there is no reinvestment to replace and repair. The housekeepers could start to lose interest in doing a good job if everything is falling apart around them. Would choose a different place next time.

BEWARE!! BEDBUG INFESTATION! We went to Nocona this past…read moreweekend to have my husband's memorial. We booked 2 rooms for Saturday night. When we checked into the Veranda Inn, everything appeared clean. We all went to sleep until 5:30 am when my children called me to tell me that there were bugs all over their beds. This was in Room 126. I went and picked up one of the bugs to take to reception. They agreed that it was a bed bug and said Monday morning the regular desk person would give me a refund. She swore that in the year she'd been there they had never had an issue like that before. Based on the fact that the mattresses were in zippered bags and there were tiny bed bugs and big bed bugs I doubted that was true but I let it go. I went and gathered our things to inspect them and placed our luggage in trash bags. We left at 7:30 am unshowered and exhausted. I didn't cause a scene and left thinking they were going to handle things. Instead on Monday I had to call them at 2 to ask what was going on and the receptionist said that they weren't going to give me a refund since they weren't going to charge me a $500 fee for smoking in the room. A blatant lie and the cameras can show him going outside to smoke. He refuses to throw his cigarette butts on the ground and instead brought them inside to the trash can. I've already reached out to the Health Department. Here are the pictures my son took of 6 separate bugs. And the multiple bites my daughter got.
