I've been to The Courtyard several times in the past, but I've never rented the venue myself. It's…read morea really cool spot for any event. The chic rustic look always compliments the decorations you add for your event. As a photographer, the venue has a great number of spots to shoot, i.e. the bar in the "hardware store," the outdoor courtyard has a fountain, a long hallway, & rustic doors, an upstairs room that is furnished with some vintage looking chairs. I will say that I know the venue is pricey but the place is huge (approx 11,000 square feet! including the hardware store, party room & outdoor courtyard.) I also know that the tables and chairs are available for rent if you do not have your own. I don't know specifics of the contract they have for renting the venue, but the supply of paper towels and toilet paper in the restrooms NEVER meets the demands. It would seem like a good idea to use one of the industrial paper towel/toilet paper dispensers or even an air hand dryer found at most public restrooms. I walked out of the restroom with wet hands every time due to no paper towels. On the subject of the restrooms, the trash cans ALWAYS overflow with waste due to the fact that they are so tiny. Now on to the HVAC system, the AC in the hardware store isn't up to par or had some issues because it was sweltering hot! Almost everyone hung out in the party room & outside in the courtyard because of the heat. They need to have the HVAC system serviced or upgraded to properly cool a venue of that size. All in all, this is a nice place to have your wedding, reception, family reunion, etc. Just make sure to bring extra paper goods and some fans.

One of the most beautiful hotels I've ever had the privilege of staying in! Even before I get into…read morethe details, just know that if you're road tripping across Texas it is 100% worth driving an extra hour or two to stay here!! While the town of Big Spring isn't much to look at, this hotel has been resurrected from the dead and made to shine brighter than ever. Seriously, if you get the chance to look through the crazy renovation pictures in the lobby you have to see just how bad the condition was when the owners bought it! Despite the age, the elevators weren't worrying at all, and the woman at the front desk recommended a high floor to us for the view. I'm glad she did because it really was beautiful to watch the sun set across the vast flatness of Texas from the 11th floor. Before I get to the room, I have to shoutout how beautiful the lobby is. Grand staircase, beautiful decor, an antique car, informative history on the walls, AND an amazing bar and a great restaurant on site too. It's awesome, and my friend and I were both impressed by the drinks we got with dinner. We were all very satisfied with our dinners and the portions were generous. Customer service was also top notch in every aspect, and that's definitely not just because they gave us a delicious homemade chocolate chip cookie (omg so good). Now to get to the hotel room... first of all, it was HUGE! Probably the biggest hotel room I've ever stayed in. Two big beds with a generous amount of space around them, a full coffee bar at the entrance to the room, a big walk-in closet space, a vanity, and a huge bathroom that had a soaking tub AND a spacious shower stall. Honestly, we were stunned by the size of the room and that was only capped off by the comfort of the beds. After road tripping across Texas all day, these were absolutely magical. We'd wanted to stay in unique places on this road trip and I'm so glad we did because Hotel Settles isn't just beautiful, it's also comfortable and very luxurious in the accommodations and food / drink options on site! Highly recommend!!

The last time I was there, I just couldn't do an entire steak myself (good sized portion), so I ordered the steak sandwich and it was plate perfect portion and did not lack any flavor at all!

If you are having a wedding at this venue be sure that you talk to the owners about how hot it is…read moreupstairs brides paid $80 for their makeup it just melted off $80 for the hair just to have it fall out it had to be constantly retouched this is ridiculous! I know there were several phone calls made to the staff trying to find out how to get it cooled off up there and they said there was a vent, there's two little vents on one wall near the bathroom that were worthless for the large space we had an empty promise of fans wound up getting one rinky-dink little fan, it's ridiculous! Do not have your wedding here until they fix that upstairs air conditioner situation they can either mount fans on the wall or something! It's way way too hot especially for brides and bridesmaids who are trying to get ready and feel beautiful. If they don't fix this then I suggest bringing your own fans with extension cords because there's only two outlets.

The Willows did not refund Whitney and Rocky Guzman's deposit of $450.00 because the DJ was not out…read morebefore 12:00am. The DJ is handicapped and in a wheelchair and had one friend helping him load all the equipment in his van. When we got to the Willows we had to clean all the chairs and tables, had to sweep the floors,clean up burned sparklers and cigarette butts. The lighting outside worked about 25% and we had to clean out the refrigerator. Towards the end of the evening the groomsmen and bridesmaids started to clean up everything again and the Willows was spotless. Whitney called the manager and said they were done cleaning and needed their deposit back. The woman told Whitney, very rudely, that the DJ was not out by 12:00am so they will not get their deposit back. Whitney told her how dirty it was to begin with and the woman said I'm not in charge of that. Please post everywhere and the Willows homepage so other couples will not have to go through this. It was a very disappointing occurrence to a very wonderful occasion. So sorry for this rant but this should have never been a problem for Whitney and Rocky before they left for their honeymoon. Again thank you all for coming to Whitney (Kuhrt) Guzman and Rocky Guzman's life commitment of love.

The door man wouldn't not even help a 72 yr old lady get her wheelchair bound husband up the step. Which I might add is a violation of ADA compliance federal laws. There was no ramp!! The doorman then asked to search my 3 x 5 inch wristlet ( purse) WHAT is the world could I smuggle in that? Then one of the grooms man had ordered a "set up" but couldn't carry it, I was 4 people back in line and told him I'd grab it. Got to the bar and the lady wouldn't let me take the set up. B/c I was not the one that paid for it. REALLY? It is a bucket of ICE!!! She acted as if I was taking a bucket of gold coins IT's ICE!!! I was not impressed with their customer service at all! Find new owners or managers; the current ones are so extra. The wedding was beautiful, intimate, and so very special to our family though.
