This will be long but want to be fair. Upon arrival the hotel was clean & presentable…read more We arrived late. Check in was friendly and easy. Bed & pillows were very clean & comfortable. Refrigerator & clean towels were provided in the room. For these things alone, I would've given a 5 star rating. And, I love that pets are allowed; but, this is where the 5 rating becomes a 3. Pets are allowed and it's quite noticeable the moment I opened the door to the room. The room smelled heavily of pet urine the moment you open the door. Frayed carpeting, sticky floors in entry & bathroom. Strong smell of pet urine in the corners of the bathroom that worsened as you got closer. Heavily stained furniture. I avoided sitting on the sofa. Door of our room: Damaged and warped at the bottom corner of the door, leaving a significant gap between the lower corner of the room door and door jamb. As a woman, if traveling alone, I would not have felt safe. It was late and told no other rooms were available. Later found out that there were other rooms with 2 queen beds available, ours was a King room. Extremely large rooms. In room coffee maker is available upon request but I highly recommend their fresh ground coffee offered at breakfast. Although a shower cap and laundry bag weren't offered in the room, I was able to obtain them from the front desk. The shower/tub combo doesn't have a clean or inviting appearance. Surprisingly, the pressure was super nice. Bathtub/shower combo had a non-slip surface but pealing around the drain. Again, despite the appearance, the shower delivered an extremely relaxing spray. Bathroom toilet and sink were very clean. Other room amenities: Iron with iron board. 2 hangers. Complimentary toiletries included hand wash, lotion and hair dryer. As another reviewer said, this place has so much potential. The odor and sticky floors were very off putting - Found myself playing a mental game of the Floor is lava. When I got into the car the following morning I could smell pet odor emitting from the soles of my shoes. At this point, I called the hotel, I spoke to the manager and let her know how unsettling & unpleasant the odor was. She was very confused by the odor, saying no one had used the room for a very long time. They just replaced the AC in that unit. In spite of what she said, it smelled like a boarding kennel and that a dog had been left unattended for a while. She offered to check it. Although I left a privacy placard on the door, I gave her permission to enter and have a housekeeping attendant to enter with her to mop the floor; which improved the situation. I'd really like to give this establishment a 5 star rating because the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and clean, as were the towels. They were very fresh and white as any 5 star hotel. I'm giving a 3 rating for others to be aware. I love that it's a pet friendly place. Sometimes leaving fur babies at home is unavoidable. Truly, it's a joint effort of the hotel guests to help the hotel management to keep the establishment cleanly. I'd advise to travel with a crate or a play pen for your pet. As a pet lover I'm very compassionate so when I stay in pet friendly hotels I travel with Febreze Pet Odor remover; which was a huge save on my allergies and made my 2 night stay tolerable. I hope to hear they've made improvements in the areas of safety and odor. I'd like to stay here in the future. I hope this helps you on your journey and I wish you safe travels.

The front desk attendant was friendly, kind, and accommodating considering what time I had called to check for availability. Check in was quick and effortless. Unfortunately that's where my recommendation of this hotel stops. Our room was in need of a renovation and a deep cleaning. Everything from the counter that held the TV to the bedskirt showed major signs of wear. The bathtub had grime buildup on the faucet and handle as did the sink. The light fixtures could use a good wipe down as it looked like there were grease stains on them. The carpet wasn't the cleanest either. This hotel has so much potential with just a little facelift.

The room with the king-sized bed was renovated/updated, along with the rest of the property (obviously). This style of room was different, as it felt a fifth smaller of its size from what I've stayed in previously with other Hampton Inn properties. Despite this, I absolutely love it! The size allowed for a more intimate feel to it. Standard Hampton Inn breakfast, and parking was pretty decent. The property is adjacent to a Dollar Tree if you wanted to pick up certain things for travel, which I found convenient. The highway access wasn't far at all either. La Grange is a fairly small town, and not really like Bryan area at all. I had my best sleep in over a week due to how quiet the surrounding area was, in addition to the hotel during the week. Will certainly stay here again!

We were there from August 29th - September 4th. We stayed in the Conductor's Cottage again. Everything went perfectly. The cottage was very clean. In fact, I have a very bad dust allergy, but my allergy symptoms never occurred while staying here which is saying something! The water pressure was great, and I loved that there's always extra toilet paper available in the cottage in case we need some. I love that the cottage has plates, bowls, cups, and cutlery since my husband and I didn't go out to eat except once while we were there. We didn't need to go out since Tiffany makes a big and delicious breakfast every morning. Seriously, the woman should be a chef as well. She's so good with breakfast, and it's always the best breakfast I've had. Tiffany also did a fantastic job at making me a breakfast that I could have with my many dietary needs. With breakfast, it's like a family style thing where you all sit at one table to eat. There is the option of having breakfast delivered to your room if you'd rather not eat with others. Tiffany (the owner) is super nice, and she always would ask us if we needed anything for our room every morning. She makes you feel so welcome and like part of the family. This girl would give you the shirt off of her back if you needed it. Seriously, Tiffany is such a great human. The bed was super comfy and the AC gets pretty cold. It's a mini split, but it definitely got the room cold quickly despite the Texas heat. In fact, I even had to turn up the AC to 80 many times because I would get so cold! There are trains that go by many times throughout the day and night as the railroad tracks are near the Katy House. However, there are earplugs in the room if you don't like the noise. I find it soothing though. It's very close to a bar (Huebel's), but the bar stays very quiet even on a weekend, so no worries about bar noise or even the noise from people coming out of the bar. The B&B is a block away from Main Street so there are a few restaurants and shops within a very short walking distance. Speaking of walking, my husband and I would walk/run about five miles every night we were there. All the streets we ran/walked seemed safe. We never encountered anything bad. Tiffany even gave us some pointers about where to walk to to get out in nature away from the hustle and bustle of the town. (Although the locals are very nice.) Minnie (a member of staff) was also really nice when we would see her. She would always smile and say hello. She's also a sweetheart. While we were there, we got to see a couple of squirrels close up. The squirrels love jumping from tree to tree around the area. Parking is plentiful. It's all street parking around the property, but it's all very safe to park around the building. The tv is a smart tv, so there were plenty of streaming options and services to sign in to. However, if you don't do streaming services, there was still channels available you could watch without signing into anything. Be sure to stay at the Katy House if you've ever wanted to experience Heaven on Earth. I'm convinced Tiffany is an angel here on Earth! Pretty sure that when you stay at the Katy House, you actually get transported to Heaven. Definitely stay here, and you'll see what I mean. You'll want to keep coming back!

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.
