    Honestly, we didn't have any complaints about this hotel. A family member from San Antonio that was meeting us in Fredericksburg found this little gem. Honestly I didn't know what to expect, but it was a really cool looking hotel. It is right off the flight line of this small airport and all the decor inside was that of aircraft, and all things vintage. That was pretty cool. The staff are friendly as heck and are always eager to answer any questions you may have. The room was fine, we have no complaints whatsoever about that room. This place has a decent bar and that Saturday night, they had a pianist playing music all night. The bar area (The Officer's Club) was packed with people. I am not sure if there was a convention going on, but there was a lot of elderly people there in the bar area and it was like they all knew each other. That kind of threw me off, LOL!! Anyways, this place is not far from Main Street and it has an awesome Diner right next door to grab you some breakfast before you head out. That is a separate review coming. We would stay here again.

    Very unique experience. The hotel is decorated in the style of the 1940s. Felt relevant to our Fredericksburg visit, which included learning a lot about the Pacific theater of WW2 (don't miss the museum in town). The hotel was built to resemble an airplane hangar and is situated alongside an active runway of the Gillespie County Airport. There are some chairs behind the hotel, facing the runway. It's a nice spot to sit and watch the sunset. The hotel is charming and there is a lounge with a bar and live music. Definitely don't skip that -- it's part of the experience. The ambiance is quite nice and they have board games available. There is also a diner in a separate building although it was already closed by the time we arrived. However, they were having some sort of dance party there (per the staff) but we didn't attend. They have free coffee and tea available all day in the lobby. Also, complimentary pastries in the morning. They were pretty tasty. The room was mostly fine although I didn't find the bed to be particularly comfortable. Tossed and turned all night. However, my biggest complaint was the tub -- it didn't drain properly so I was basically standing in dirty water during my entire shower. Overall, a really interesting and memorable stay. If you like history and/or unique hotels, I definitely recommend the Hangar.

    Flying in for some brunch.

    We went to the diner next door for a Sunday brunch and absolutely loved the place, food, and service. I got the omelette and grits. I can't wait to go back. Lots of people visiting including many who didn't fly in but had cameras out and filming planes landing and taking off.

    This was our second stay here, the front desk staff were super friendly and the check in process was very quick. The hotel itself is nicely decorated and has a fun but classy theme, our room was very clean and comfortable, the hotel is just a short drive from downtown. There's is a diner right next door. The officers lounge was fun and had live music while we were there. I also liked that this is an adult only hotel.

    This hotel is very Kool. we came here for a family wedding and stayed at the Hanger Hotel and the wedding party was here as well. The Hanger Hotel is in Fredericksburg Texas. The town of Fredericksburg is awesome. Its filled with shops and restaurants and there are tons of wineries in the vacinity. It was a nice surprise and I never knew it was such a cool destination. My only regret is we didn't plan enough time to explore. The Hanger Hotel is just that. It is an airplane hanger with plenty of action with small aircraft flying in and out. The party was in the hanger wich was so fun. Great space. The hotel was clean and filled with airplane memorabilia. Our room was very clean and the bedding was cozy. I have one complaint about hotel....and its kinda a big one for me..... They would have gotten a solid 5 stars if not for this. After the party ended at about 1030 pm, the bar in the hotel closed at 11pm. 11pm on a Saturday night with a full bar of people wanting to carry on with the night and drop some cash. Nope. Closed the bar with every chair and table filled with people. What!?! Seriously? Keep in mind there is nothing around the Hanger Hotel. No where to get food or drinks.. BUZZ KILL!!!!!!!

    I'd really like the proprietors of the Hangar Hotel to pay attention for this review. You have one of the most unique offerings in Texas and possibly the world in owning this property. Basically a hotel on the tarmac of a Hill Country destination. We LOVE staying here. Wife and I don't own a plane; yet find your establishment quite high on the short list of our regular visits. Planes and copters are great along with the regular doings of the airport. I get up early being a rancher's kid. You'll find me smoking a cigarette at 6am watching for touch downs while the wife sleeps till 9. Invite the pilots in for coffee and a game of pool in a bar that doesn't open for another 13 hours. Still roughly 2 hours till the diner opens. Here is my point; there is one person that makes your experience stand out. You have the best bartender in the world and that would be MARY B. Every visit is perfect and I'm not alone. I enjoy asking fellow patrons about her and most have a story about how she helped make their visit exemplary. I can't think of a better employee and now friend to spotlight in my travels.

    Loved my stay for a nice weekend at the airport. Great fuel prices too and they have rentals for a low price as well.

    Very nice accommodations. Leather chairs, king size bed. The room I'd decorated like you stepped back in time to the 40s. Old telephone, old pics, wool army blanket on the bed. Sits on the tarmac of the airport. Tou can stand on the balcony and watch small planes take off and land. They have a bar in the lobby that has a pool table, lots of comfortable leather chairs and just a nice place to relax. Great place to stay at least one night Locate across from fairgrounds and just a short dive to downriver

    Such a fun and cool vibe. Very neat to enjoy lunch and watch the planes fly out and land. The food was great and service was great as well!! Highly recommend. Great experience

    My wife and I came to Fredericksburg for a quick weekend getaway and this hotel was recommended by some friends who stayed a couple of months ago. Themed as a hangar and located at the airport, this place is great! In the Officers Quarters for live music sitting in red leather chairs is a great Saturday night wind down. Morning will be spent in rocking chairs watching the planes come and go.

    The Hangar Hotel. The doors you see here are the back doors. The lobby door is at the rear of the building on the right side.

    I had heard about The Hangar Hotel from a friend a few years ago and was intrigued because it's a 1940s/WWII themed hotel with aviation and South Pacific decor. I love that era of history, so I had wanted to visit for awhile. We ended up staying there for three nights while visiting Fredericksburg to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. I was so excited! When we drove up, there were no cars in the parking lot, and it wasn't clear where to enter or where or how to park. It didn't help that it was dark and there was no directional signage that we could see. Once we found the front door, I walked into a completely silent and empty lobby. A man walked in to help me but was unfriendly and almost abrupt. There was no warmth, no welcome, no mention of our anniversary, no details about the property. At least check-in was fast! My husband did interact with another front desk person later in our stay who was much more helpful and kind though. Our room was on the ground floor and roughly in the middle of the hallway. The room was cute but worn down. One of the leather chairs had a gaping hole in it. The tub had mildew, loose grout and was slow to drain. The side tables had lots of scratches with multiple water rings. The carpet seemed newer and nice though, as did the curtains. But our biggest issues were noise related. Doors constantly slammed up and down the hallway and woke us up many times, even over our loud white noise machine. This property also claims to be 18+ only, but that is truly unenforceable, as a child (maybe 6-7 years old) stayed across the hall from us for at least two nights. The first night, he and his family stood in the hallway and he cried while the family discussed how stupid the hotel's age limit rule was but how it didn't matter because they were just going to stay anyway to appease the upset child. We heard all this through our closed door! This family was one of the main noise culprits during our stay, as they constantly slammed their door and we heard the child making noise multiple times. This would be expected at a Holiday Inn, but not at an 18+ property. It seems this rule should just be removed from The Hangar's website, as it is apparently disregarded by immature parents who sneak their children in the back door while creating frustrations and disruptions for those who are following the rules and hoping to have a child-free stay. From the customer service to the noise issues to the rooms themselves, The Hangar would greatly benefit from an overall refresh to ensure a more positive guest experience. Three stars is probably generous given our stay, but we do love the concept and appreciate The Hangar's attempt to keep an incredible era alive. The execution just needs some help. Whether or not you stay at the hotel, be sure to visit the Airport Diner next door. The food, service and atmosphere were great, and you can watch the airplanes fly in and out while you eat.

    We stayed here for Oktoberfest because the shuttle stop is only a few hundred away. It's very convenient for attending the festival. The hotel is aviation themed and if you enjoy aircraft then you will enjoy this place. It caters to pilots since it is located next to the airport tarmac. They have several dozen rocking chairs to sit in while you watch the planes take off and land. It really is fun on the weekends to watch the aircraft. You never know what type of plane will come in next. The prices are on the high end because they cater to pilots. There is a nice lounge with piano music on weekends, and a small bar outside as well. They had complimentary scones and coffee and juice in the mornings which was nice, and cookies in the late afternoon. They have themed dances in their adjacent conference center, so that's worth checking out.

We really only heard traffic during the day, it was pretty quiet at night, and day traffic didn't bother us. We stayed in Winterberry, and we sat on the cute porch in the evening with citronella (my boyfriend is a mosquito magnet, lol) and lightning bugs. The bed was a little more firm than we were expecting, but we still slept fine. I should also preface that we sleep with a box fan on low for white noise. We were there during the week so there wasn't really any noise from other guests, only a few people were there. I will make note that you can see straight down into Winterberry from the door of the second floor cabin next door. We forgot to tell Debbie, the manager, about that, but it can easily be fixed with a simple window covering. There was no one in that room while we were there so it wasn't a big deal. Debbie was truly delightful, very sweet. She brought the biscuit basket we ordered for our final morning. The biscuits were really very good, they come in the cutest setup, with the biscuits sitting on a bread warmer. Great experience overall. If we vacation in Fredericksburg again, we will definitely stay here.

The only 2 things we had to note were that the shower head only had one setting and it was hard and blasted aggressively. It wasn't comfortable to shower and made a lot of noise. I'd recommend lowering the water pressure or changing the shower head. Additionally, the sink didn't have a drain cover so we were scared we'd drop something All in all, we will be back!

The shower has a higher head and we liked the new laminate floors. We liked the two lounge chairs, chair and desk along with the microwave and mini fridge. Pretty much the previous review still stands, but I added a few more recent photos and comments So why still the 3 stars? The walls and ceilings are quite thin where you can hear someone tromping around upstairs and snoring in the room next to you as well as upstairs. People are allowed to bring their pets to the rooms which means you can listen to them bark in the room next to you. My morning shower was set to hot, but it was barely warm. We pulled back the sheets and the mattress pad where there was a small blood stain, hairs, and an oily stain near the center of the mattress. No room safe. Breakfast here is pretty much on par with the average Best Western except that the buffet room is very cramped and indoor dining is tight. The outdoor dining area is actually quite nice weather permitting. I personally would like to see either the breakfast eliminated and we pay less for the room or for it to be an exceptional breakfast and charge a little more. By being at the level of mediocrity it just inspires you to go somewhere else. Even the coffee was weak and watery. With all of that said, our 2 day stay was less than $480. For a comfortable relatively clean room with no musty smell, it seems worth it. If you want to enjoy your time here, stay on the second floor and have breakfast at one of the nearby restaurants. 31/2* for the money for an acceptable visit.
