After my first conversation with Nicolette, I knew I wanted her as my photographer…read more I might have made things a little difficult, on the day but only because I'm hard on myself. I've never been comfortable in front of a camera, and on the day, I married the love of my life, the wind definitely was not helping. But one thing I can say about Nicolette is that she showed up with every list, every inspiration photo, and every little detail I had sent her. She was determined to get every shot that mattered to me. Even when I wanted to quit, she wouldn't let me. She knew I wasn't comfortable in front of the camera -- and honestly, not always comfortable with myself either. But she said and did all the right things every step of the way. She made me feel beautiful. And because of that, I'm sure I'll have photos I will cherish forever. Thank you, Nicolette, for being who and what I needed.

She did a great job organizing family and friends for pictures. She checked in with me periodically to see if there were any people to focus on and pictures to be taken. The pictures we received are wonderful and captured the moments during the event.

Quality of the bouquet was very unsatisfactory. The price charged for a blind Mother's Day bouquet…read more(not able to choose or customize arrangement) and the quality of the actual bouquet were orders of magnitude apart, despite maxing out the quality category. I paid for a 3rd tier product, but the actual quantity of flowers was on par with what you would find in a grocery store. I also left a considerable tip for the "driver", but I later learned that my older parents were asked to come and pick up the arrangement for themselves, despite choosing a "delivery day", "driver tip", etc. I've never heard of that before. I am very disappointed with the service I received, and it was a departure from the service delivered in the past. I will not be patronizing Early Blooms &Things again. We're all experiencing "unprecedented economic times", and that stopped being an excuse in Covid times. Do better, and stop ripping off your customers.

I will rate each category 0 to 5 stars with 0 as the lowest rating and 5 the highest rating,…read morefollowed by an overall rating. 1. Ease of Getting to the Hotel. Not far off 283. It was easy to find. 5 stars. 2. Parking. There is sufficient parking. The parking lot is easy to get in and out. 5 stars. 3. Appearance of Hotel. It is a standard 2-story Inn. Room was nice and it was clean. When we opened the door in the morning, we were greeted by a bunch (I mean a lot) of dead crickets and grasshoppers and many still alive. There was a definite pesticide smell so someone obviously sprayed or I suspect we would have been fighting thru the insects. 3 stars 4. Friendliness of staff. I think it's a husband and wife who manage the Inn. The man wasn't too friendly when we checked in but was friendlier the next morning. The woman was friendly from the get-go! 4 stars. 5. Speed of Check-in. There was no wait and plenty of rooms available. There was no AAA or military discount; $84 +taxes for one night. 3 stars 6. Quality of Continental Breakfast. Standard continental breakfast available: hard boiled eggs, waffles (no breakfast meat) toast, muffins, bagels, cold cereals, hot oatmeal, coffees, hot tea, apple and orange juices. There was no yogurt or ice water, which I would have liked available. 4 stars. 7. Ice Machine. The first floor ice machine was in the corridor in an open area (no room key needed). 5 stars. Overall rating 3 stars. We would not stop here again unless we had no other hotel available. We sincerely appreciate the hotels who provide the military a discount!

I highly recommend this place. The hosts are friendly and easy to work with. There are the added bonuses of a tasty Mexican restaurant right next door, and a free vintage car and TX Ranger baseball museum down the street. If you are headed west on I20 and need a place just shy of Abilene, do yourself a favor and book a night or 2 at Phil's Bunkhouse.

Great location with convenience store across the street open 24 hours. Although the kitchen inside the bunkhouse had small ice cold bottles of water. There was a basket on the table with small snacks. The bed I slept in closest to the kitchen was very comfortable. Great water pressure in the shower. For exploring Cross Plains or anything in the area this location rocks. Thank you for a nice get away.
