The proud Ferris Hotel and their wonderful owners have retired. Mr. Ferris passed away in early…read more2013 and Ms. Ferris just turned 40 for the 40th time. What a wonderful family and grand old venue. Thank you Ferris family! The hotel is owned by another group and is being rebuilt by a non-hospitality person that can decide what to do with the place... Renamed today Wessex Hotel - but it will not serve the hunters or the locals just out of towners (today)... We speculate it may never open - stay tuned.

Worse stay I ever had. Relocated for a night from our home because of mold just to come to a room…read morethat was just as humid and smelled like mold as well. Service is great but the room is terrible I didn't get a lick of sleep last night between the A/C unit not working and making a loud noise every hour on the hour!

Traded them in for cleanish towels after realizing they were not fully clean. Floor was so dirty that both my wife and I took a wash cloth to wipe off our feet after shower so as to avoid black marks when we got in bed. Floors were laminate but didn't appear to have been mopped correctly. Refrigerator didn't work, so had to throw out medicine after overnight temp dropped below storage limit. Pleasant staff. Price was low and I should have realized that the standards were probably reflective of price. Beds were okay and lights and outlets worked. Very loud from rooms above and on either side.

I pulled up and was getting my dogs out and the guy drives up right next to me aggressively asking if "I'm there to meet someone" I said I just got here and am waiting for my husband to arrive thanks for asking.

The hotel is right off the main highway and doesn't seem like anything special but its clean and the beds were comfy. Breakfast even had the Texas waffles you could cook yourself- nice touch BW. I would stay here again.

This is an unimpressive hotel, even by budget hotel standards…read more They seemed to be finishing an upgrade, but it looked like they'd made some unfortunate choices as the fresh design was rather plain, and they didn't seem to mind leaving piles of debris around even inside. The incomplete nature of things even applied to our room -- when we got to it, the door was propped open with a washcloth, apparently to allow it to dry because the room smelled of paint. The place felt somehow a touch third-world, in that the standards of what we might expect seemed low. This applied even in small ways, such as the shower, which had no shelf so you had to put your soap and shampoo on the floor bend down periodically to access it. The substandard nature applied to service as well. I left my watch behind, and though they called to tell me they found it, they would only return it to me if I gave them a $25 service charge. A good hotel would just mail it to me. Breakfast was unimpressive, but the one nice thing about this place is that there is a McDonalds immediately adjacent and a steak restaurant and Sonic right across the street.

The upgraded rooms and lobby are very nice - carpet replaced with nice tile and new paint. The…read morestaff are friendly and the manager went out of her way to find me a phone charger in the lost & found box after I misplaced mine. I was a little doubtful about staying here due to my bad experiences with La Quinta in the past, but we were impressed with this one! The breakfast was good but maybe adding some fresh fruit would be nice.

Unfortunately I can't give this hotel a rating higher than one because I had a reservation here and…read moreI could not stay here. I ended up having to drive an extra hour and 45 minutes because the hotel had no hot water. The desk clerk was very friendly and tried to be as helpful as she could, but when I arrived there were no alternate reservations made for me, no offer to match the price at this hotel at another nearby hotel, nothing. After flying all day then driving for 2 hours, I was greeted with news that I didn't have a place to stay. I asked the desk clerk if she would attempt to work out a matching rate at another hotel and she informed me This hotel is privately owned. This tends to be a go-to disclaimer at smaller mainstream hotels these days. Fortunately, I was able to get a reservation at hotel in Austin Texas, but that was another 1 hour and 40 minutes driving. How this hotel could have qualified for a three-star review, have an alternate plan for the guest who has a reservation. Don't simply tell the guest, there's nothing they can do You're out of luck.

I enjoyed my stay here. It was only one night, but I was able to get some much needed sleep!…read more The place was fairly quiet. I did hear some slamming doors, but I think that's more of a inconsiderate person issue, rather than a structural issue. First appearance is nice. Ample parking, nice building, inside and out, and the customer service was great. I was checked in quickly, and was able to lay my head on a soft pillow in a matter of minutes. I slept good! The rooms are of average size with a microwave, mini fridge, TV, and free Wi-Fi. The following morning, the free hot breakfast was great! It really hit the spot. Decent value!

The pool is for lounging, but it's a super comfortable lounge. The closest Round Top restaurants and stores do seem to be closed the beginning on the week, so prepare to drive just a tad further Monday and Tuesday - and don't expect to be able to get a delivery you will be out there. Overall we loved our stay, we loved the local merchants and restaurants and loved the antique stores. Highly recommend this quiet getaway.

A special thank-you to James, who works in the kitchen. He is always so kind, helpful, and friendly.

He also makes sure there is always fresh fruit available in the lobby 24 hours a day for guests who want a healthy snack and some extra vitamins.

Our king size bed was quite comfortable and the refrigerator and microwave were fully functional; my first issue, however is that while the TV was centrally located in the room we only had one chair and had to ask for a additional chair to be brought to our room and then a minor thing is that the quality of toilet paper (1 ply sheets) this hotel supplies it's customers is of absolutely poor quality almost like sandpaper.
