My fiancé and I chose Hillside Cabin as our honeymoon spot and were so excited! The reviews on trip…read moreadvisor were glowing so we couldn't wait to get there. We made it here late Friday night after our wedding and were appalled at the conditions. While cute and quaint, the cabin is filthy. There is dirt and dust everywhere. Mouse droppings were under the sink and random old food was in the refrigerator. The bathroom looked amazing and after a day of heavy makeup and big hair, it looked welcoming... Until I took another look. There was a bar of soap on the shower that once I looked at, realized it was used. It was covered in lower regional body hair. Then I looked at the glass shower door and saw water spots all over it like it had been used and not cleaned. My husband commented he felt he needed shower shoes to use it. We decided we were just ready to go to bed (which is located in a cool, yet dangerous loft). When we pulled back the covers, more dust, seriously thread-bare sheets and more hair and dirt. If it had not been 1am, we would have left. It was like the cabin wasn't cleaned after the last guest. We are planning on left the next morning... We could not sleep in this place another night. Such a shame! We were so looking forward to being there for our honeymoon, but now we don't get a honeymoon since we only had this weekend and now no place to stay. Thank you Hillside Cabin for thoroughly ruining our wedding night and honeymoon. I hope you go back to being a great place for ppl to stay bc your place has the potential for being a perfect honeymoon hideaway. Unfortunately, for us, that's not the case. Good luck to you. Ps on a side note, the owner is extremely nice and took our concerns to heart. We wish her well.

I recently stayed at Aloft Austin Airport and experienced an issue during checkout that is…read morecompletely out of order . My late checkout was scheduled for 4:00 p.m., and I checked out approximately 15-20 minutes late. While speaking with the Front Office Manager, Gabby, about missing breakfast and asking about an alternative option, she snatched the breakfast coupon out of my hand and ended the conversation abruptly in a dismissive tone. Speaking to me while her head was down and making gestures as if I was a staff member. After giving them another shot for an additional stay, housekeeping staff were positioned outside my room around checkout time, holding conversations within earshot, which created the impression they were waiting for me to exit at exactly 4:00 p.m. Afterward, I spoke with other frequent guests who shared similar experiences and described a pattern of poor customer service, lack of hospitality, and unprofessional behavior associated with this individual. I have since contacted the General Manager regarding this matter and am currently awaiting a response.

I walked out to use the bathroom and you can see some dude in his window working out on his treadmill in the middle of the night(very creepy). I was also woken up by the sound of barking dogs from a neighboring house behind the small cabin area. This was not a place to get away to relax. I'm also a pool owner and when I saw their pool, I knew right away there was no way I would even put my big toe in it for a soak. Those portable pumps threw me off and the water was not clear.

Great place for a 2-3 day retreat. Dog-friendly (on leash required). The customer service responds…read morequickly, and check-in/check-out are smooth and easy. This year's water level is historically low (since the 1960s), so direct swimming access to the water is nearly impossible. Boat ramp closed. However, the view is still spectacular. We also appreciate the grill spots -- we saw previous complaints about the grills -- honestly, we don't quite understand why they are being so picky with the public grill spots lol... I can tell they have tried their best to manage/clean. A/C works well, especially at night! Not much noise created. All the fire pits were upgraded and well-maintained. Some things to be careful with: 1/ Some weeds in the grass can be sticky and painful to pick off. Be careful walking in grass near the cabins (wear water shoes). 2/ Some dogs may be reactive to people/other dogs (barking). But everyone was very respectful. 3/ Didn't try the swimming pool; it looks a little muddy. 4/ Coffee station not working well. We noticed from others' reviews and brought our own coffee boiling pot with pour makers. They also didn't provide milk/coffee mate. 5/ Pillows are not quite comfortable.

This is a unique situation at Canyon Lake--a motel situated adjacent to a boat launch with…read moreovernight parking and a place to have your boat in the water overnight as well within a short walk from the motel. It has been here for decades. We came here many years ago when there was a restaurant but have never stayed here before. The prices were quite high, perhaps because it was memorial day weekend. Our tab for two nights was $1200 for three rooms, one of which had no windows. The place has quite a bit of deferred maintenance and the amenities are sparse. All that said, it is a delightful place to be with great views and protected waters and we will likely come back. A previous review made a big deal of a door being left open by management and left a very low rating. Finding the owner (who lives on site) to be very accommodating, I would disregard that review.

About an hour from Austin, the resort is located in a quiet town that seems remote, yet only about 20 minutes from the bustling town of Wimberly. I'm guessing that there are about 25 others tiny cabins on the property, each one identical. Lots of amenities and character packed into such a small space. We had a fantastic time, and plan to return, possibly with our families next time. I won't ramble on in this post as the pics here are truly worth a thousand words.

First but definitely not the last time I will be using this Homewood Suites. The rooms here are…read morespacious like a one bedroom condo with a fridge, hot plate, kitchen island, dishwasher, cocking utensils, pots and even Tupperware! Everything here looks new and the decor is very livable. I could see myself staying for a month or two here. There are amenities like laundry machines, an indoor pool and gym. Parking is available for $5.00 a day. Yes $5 bucks as of this writing..no typo. It is further from the city than other hotels, but the drive is only about 15 to 20 minutes to downtown. Also super close to the airport and with the free pickup and drop off shuttle..it's definitely worth it to stay here. The staff is super friendly especially the night desk clerk and when you wake up there's a free breakfast to start your day! Stay here before everyone finds out. It's a real gem. Tip for people staying a week...they have happy hour on Wednesday if I'm not mistaken and there are bbq that you can use to cook steaks if you like.

We stayed in the Monarch cabin for our 12-year anniversary. We lucked out and found a relatively…read morecheap-ish two-night stay, so we went for it. The drive out is a bit out of the way -- Fredericksburg is about an hour from most larger cities -- but Onera itself is only about a minute from town. The property is fenced (mostly to keep cars out), though the surrounding area isn't the most scenic right now due to nearby construction. Inside the property you'll drive on a mix of paved and unpaved roads depending on where your cabin is. First impression: the shared pool area is much smaller than it looks in the photos. A little disappointing, but we came for the cabin anyway. Finding the Monarch cabin was easy and the instructions, gate code, and door codes were all clear and ready when we needed them. Communication and service were great. The cabin itself looked just like the photos. The decor was fun, the ladder to the second-floor hammock was a cool touch, and the kitchen setup was surprisingly complete: small fridge with freezer, dual hot plates, and a gas grill outside. You could easily cook full meals here - we did. Where things fell short was maintenance. Some areas were dirty or worn. The gas grill had torn metal right above the gas canister that made turning it on and off feel a little unsafe, and the grates were extremely dirty even after we tried cleaning them. The outdoor soaking tub was also dirty and uncovered when we arrived. Cleaning it wasn't hard, but the faucet was loose and the tub didn't seem to get hot water. Meanwhile the cabin shower had plenty of hot water the entire stay. Privacy was another surprise. The marketing makes the cabins look pretty secluded, but they're actually fairly close together. You can hear nearby conversations if windows are open, and the neighboring cabin's kitchen window was pointed directly at our outdoor tub -- so bring a swimsuit. The fire pit was a nice touch but there were no tools (or wood) given to light it. Also worth noting: the cabins don't have Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi code they provide seems to only work near the shared area. Overall, the treehouse concept is fun, but the experience didn't really match the price. It feels more like a novelty stay than a luxury one. It could still work as a unique base if you're visiting Fredericksburg for wineries and town activities, but I wouldn't come with high expectations.

Stayed at Onera this weekend to celebrate a milestone birthday in the Cocoon house!…read more Overall, this place was absolutely fantastic. The cocoon was lovely, clean, with lots of thoughtful little amenities like the espresso, grill and grill tools, robes, plenty of towels, etc. The pool was right next door to our unit so an easy walk and people were very respectful noise-wise. The pool was lovely- it's still heated even in the summer so very warm. The deck and chairs were clean, and I love the towel station where you don't need to use your room towels you can grab them there and discard. The pool is connected to a lovely sitting area in the trees with this awesome built in hammock- loved that!! The sauna was easy to use and adorable as well. I found the AC in the unit to be fantastic and kept our unit so cold, and the bed was great!! I also love how they cultivate plants to attract butterflies, so pretty. WiFi also worked amazing and was strong the whole time. We really enjoyed our lounge pool as well! Now, a couple things. I didn't look to see if there was a map, but our unit was not that private. Because the pool deck is raised you could see over our fence into our deck. You can also see roads and people and cars from our lounge pool. I am sure there is more privacy further back, but the cocoon doesn't have much at all and I probably would have picked a different unit if I knew that. Overall the photos made it look much more woodsy and remote than it is- everything is pretty close together and I really wish there was more trees so you aren't staring at the back of staff quarters when in the hammock. Second, you need a lighter to light the grill. We didn't know that and wasted a lot of time trying to troubleshoot. This place is really communicative so that was surprising that this wasn't notated in the check in instructions. There was also not a lighter in our room- requiring us to notify the concierge and wait for staff to deliver one. Finally, the cocoon has an extremely overwhelming smell of plastic- probably because it's made of plastic. It didn't bother my boyfriend but it was pretty off putting to me. The reason I gave five stars instead of four was because of their concierge service. Never in my life have I had such fast and helpful responses to everything I asked! I'm someone who has no qualms reaching out immediately for help if I am wondering about anything, and they were averaging a less than 5 minute response time- even when I sent a question at 4 am oncw that popped into my head while I was at an airport before our stay!! And that staff member arrived with our lighter in 5 minutes! There are always small things that can be changed, but we really enjoyed our time here and would love to come back- prices are significantly cheaper during the week so we would probably do that.
