Nice motel
The motel was very clean and the room was comfortable. The overall aesthetic was a little outdated but still very accommodating and inviting. The only negative I have is that the walls/floor/ceiling are very thin and you could hear other guests. At night it sounded like the people above us were literally in our room with us.

Plot Twist Adventure
The pictures that were posted online did not accurately represent this facility. This hotel was a 1960’s built model that included the original furniture. The door did not shut or lock correctly which was a direct safety issue. The bed, rugs, and linens were soiled & disgusting. The entire facility was in need up being updated. When looking at the actual room versus the online pictures, it was obvious that the pictures had been modified by AI. Overall, it was a sketchy location & hotel. I was extremely disappointed upon arrival and immediately began looking for a new location to stay during the this trip to New Braunfels. I immediately contacted management upon arrival for another hotel in the area. I did not stay around long enough to take pictures but I should have to post so people can make informed decisions.
