For what we wanted, 5 stars…read more What we wanted: A clean, well-lit place with good amenities to rest our heads for the night, in close proximity to the various sites. This place delivered in spades. It's catty-corner to Welhausen park and some-odd minutes walk or extremely short drive to our furthest destination - the Spoetzl Brewery. Everywhere else we wanted to go was inside that radius. I'll put it like this. My map app would bring up walking options before driving options. The AC blew snowballs (to put it in Texanese). The surroundings were calm and quiet. Despite being in the downtown part of Shiner, it felt like we were in a cabin in the woods. Don't get me wrong. The main road runs right by, but the town's so quiet at night that you barely notice. The restroom: I don't know about you, but quality facilities are a must. I'm including images of the double-shower and the toilet. The tank is huge and the toilet runs thoroughly. If you need a double flush, you might wanna get checked - medically speaking. That is, unless you had overindulged at Friday's Fried Chicken earlier that day (as we did). Then, a second flush might at least be the courteous thing to do. The bed: We got the king sized one, so there was plenty of room for both of us. The pillows were billowy and there were two for each of us. The mattress was comfy but properly firm, without being rigid. It didn't swallow us, but it didn't reject us either. A second blanket would be nice to add, in consideration of those with spousal blanket hogs. The rest: There was a mini fridge, a coffee maker, and a microwave for the kitchenette, wall-mounted cable TV, a mini upholstered bench, a wicker chair with throw pillow, two unique night stands, a wooden desk with drawers that had a steel bowl on it (perfect for for pocket items like keys, wallet, etc.) and matching 4-legged chair, a large stand-in closet, and plenty of outlets. The decor was sparse, which is fine for us. We weren't in Shiner to spend our time in the room. The floor was linoleum and the restroom had that cool old school tile. For safety's sake, I always recommend chanclas/shower shoes. There were plenty of towels. We never saw a bug, rodent, or other such pest in the room. There's also plenty of outdoor seating. Upshot: Clean, well-priced, and comfortable. What else are you looking for? It's a place to sleep and rejuvenate, not a palace.

Pretty underwhelming/dirty hotel, but that's not why I'm leaving this review. THE HOTEL CREATES…read moreFAKE STAYS IN YOUR NAME MONTHS AFTER YOU LEAVE! I found out today that since I stayed at this hotel earlier this year in March, they have managed to steal my credit card information and book fake stays. I just got confirmation today of a week long trip to Gonzalez TX that I had no involvement in booking. After speaking with customer relations, they informed me that the stay was booked through the hotel directly in April... I called the hotel and spoke with Kylie who then couldn't understand what I was even asking her about. Seemed like she was having immense trouble grasping small details around fraudulent credit card use. I then ask for the manager's number and Kylie provides me with A FAX MACHINE NUMBER, lol.... wow.... I'm working with customer service to ensure this fraudulent hotel does not plan to repeat their crime in my name again. DON'T STAY HERE.

Pool green, landscaping was probably 3 months overdue, the hallways smelled like mold, rolls of carpet were laying in halls ways. There is absolutely no housekeeping being done on windows and doors. If I hadn't already prepaid for the room, I would have canceled the reservation and gone elsewhere. However, the room was at least clean and the lady at the front desk was as cheerful as she could be under the horrible conditions. This by far is not a nice hotel. Next time I will definitely do my homework if I hadn't been in the area in less than a year.

Paranormal Activity Cut Our Visit Short!…read more We were looking forward to a relaxing weekend at Belle Oaks and were drawn in by the charming photos and description. But from the moment we arrived, it was clear that--while still beautiful--the inn was showing signs of wear, a faded echo of its restored glory from 20 years ago. What we liked: The property retains a nostalgic charm, with antiques adorning every corner. The hosts greeted us warmly and shared a bit of the inn's history. To their credit, they did warn us that the older electrical circuits might cause occasional flickering lights. What we didn't expect: Lights turning on and off by themselves. The television powering on in the middle of the night. Bed sheets being pulled off us while we slept. Feeling as if I was being touched and it wasn't my husband. The paranormal energy was far more intense than we'd anticipated--and ultimately, we decided to cut our trip short. Other concerns: The pool was dirty, and while breakfast was tasty, it was surprisingly sparse. As someone who's stayed in many bed and breakfasts, this was the first time I've encountered a buffet-style setup with no table settings, no water service, and a limited selection. We left both hungry and unnerved. Speaking with locals we learned that stories abound about hauntings in Gonzales.

Vanessa at front desk was courteous and helpful but that is where anything good about this place stops. She gave us a room with a broken sink that they had tried to repair with silicone. The sink was flimsy and a hazard. It seemed it could collapse and land on our feet. The toilet was clogging as well and was taking forever to fill up. We went downstairs and Vanessa quickly tried to remedy the situation by offering another room. Only problem is that the replacement room only had a sofa sleeper, not another bed for our 10 year old son. We went to check that room and the sofa bed was FILTHY and full of stains. My son looked very sad when we tried to convince him to sleep on it. After seeing the overall lack of cleanliness, dirty doors, sofas and carpet, we decided not to stay in this hotel. Vanessa was very apologetic and promised a refund early next day so we left. That didn't happen. I contacted Expedia to intervene and a Mr. Kamit Basil (manager at Microtel) responded saying that the room they had offered us didn't have a broken sink or clogging toilet. He provided Expedia with a video of a DIFFERENT room!! Mr. Basil was argumentative and combative and said he would do his own investigation. Nothing came of it! :( I will file complaint a with BBB and health and safety inspectors. DO NOT BOOK A ROOM WITHOUT INSPECTING YOURSELF FIRST! Shady!!

When you need a place to rest your head, your expectations shouldn't be set too high here. The only…read morereason for 3 stars was the staff was friendly enough when we checked in. That is where the courtesy ended unfortunately. Their machines weren't working so she had no idea how to check us in. Luckily our card was on file and she eventually "figured it out" so we could go rest in our room. After our check in fiasco we noticed a strange odor in our room immediately. We couldn't place if it was mold or something rotten but it wasn't great. The comforter looked pretty dirty which didn't give me the best feeling. We were absolutely exhausted so we tried to make the best of it. To top things off, the cleaning staff woke us up and our guests who stayed in the room next to us. They were loud, shouting, and caused me to open the door to ask "If everything was ok or was there some sort of emergency situation?" I was polite as could be but you woke up an entire floor while many of us truly needed our rest. Next was the breakfast. The free breakfast here embodied the true meaning of "you get what you pay for" so expectations were set to a lower setting from the get go. There really wasn't much at all for options and it looked as if it was completely not attended to. At first they had no cups even set out for coffee. Then the coffee ran out after one cup, no jelly for the toast, and no one around to ask if we needed any assistance. Others looked just as upset and confused as we did. We looked for anyone at a desk and no one was to be found. I had to open their cabinets and ended up setting out cups for myself and other guests as well. My overall review is please invest in staff training. Please be sure that guests are attended to, especially your weary travelers. We are tired and hungry so if those two needs aren't met, then is there a point to stay? I hope they fix these issues in the future but thankfully I'd choose another place to rest and eat in the future.
