I was intrigued that you could rent out this conference room any day of the week. For those who are looking for a comfortable atmosphere that has restrooms, they serve coffee and they have vending machines in the waiting room. I'd say this is an ideal location for those who need to meet with 50 or more people at one time. This is a new hotel in Manor. It is very clean and aesthetically pleasant as you go inside. The parking lot is well lit and in a park-like setting.

I was looking for cheap price and Red roof is indeed cheap in terms of price and customer service, their value is cheap, their hospitality is cheap and workers their definitely need to go back to training. One of those moment where you look for cheap price and ruin your hair color or the quality is so bad that you want to punch yourself out of frustration. This is how red roof made me feel. We were 4 adults and 2 puppies both below 85lbs, I called their reservation line to book. I made it very clear to the agent that we are 4 adults and that we have 2 pets, the agent said I was good as long as they were below 85lbs, our German shepherd is a 7month old and 75lbs and Yorkshire is 10lbs 10months old. We got their and their was nobody. It was pouring heavy outside and the lobby was dark and I felt like we walked into a haunted place and than a woman came out of nowhere and I said hi we have a reservation and her response was immediately - we don't allow dogs!! I was like what do you mean cuz I called and confirmed for the same reason cuz your website says your hotel is pet friendly. And than she was like shut and stared at me.. I have a reservation and I clearly told the person on the phone that we have 2 dogs and she said 1 pet pet room. The next thing she said was there is only 1 room booked and I told her yes, 1 room but 2 queen beds right- she went NO!! And she also said only for 2 people it says on the reservation. This isn't the worst part. This business literally didn't want customers. I have never felt so un welcomed. Than my brother wanted to use rest room as we were driving for hours and the front desk was we don't have restrooms. Seriously?? Where do you pee?? All things apart now I am on the phone with their main office and people just hang up. Finally got to someone and she was the worst guest help line worker I have ever come across. She was worst than the front desk her tone and mostly her brain and their policy was shitty, I lost all my patience while holding my pee and dealing with them and my sister took the phone and she put the phone on speaker and she said they will have to check the call recording and get answer maybe Maybeeee in 48hrs. Are you serious? We are in-front of your hotel reception. She said she cannot do anything. In 48hrs we will already be checked out cuz the room was for 1 night only. NO empathy, no apologies nothing. My sister called Sonesta and we went there with $80 more, we walked in and the front desk was very sweet and immediately got our rooms ready. They had free breakfast, very very clean. Our room was like 2 bedroom 1 room had 1 bed, the other room had 2 separate beds and two separate bathrooms. Fully equipped kitchen. All workers would smile and greet. It took 5mins for i us to check in and while checking in we used restroom at the lobby. Red roof should not be in hospitality industry.

I can't say with good things about this convention. I really hope they do it again next year.

There were a couple other really famous voice actors from popular anime as well, like Blue Lock. Vendors galore!!!

I live in Hutto, my AC broke over the weekend during one of the hottest heatwaves we've seen in…read moreCentral Texas. I couldn't get the AC guy to come out until Monday so I decided for me and my family to stay at a hotel. I had a previous positive experience at a Best Western so I decided to book one at the Pflugerville location. During booking I was given the choice of a King size bed with a sofa sleeper or two queen beds. I chose the King size for me and my wife and our 12 year old could sleep in the sleeper sofa that way we could have a sofa to sit on while watching TV. When we got there, first thing we noticed as the AC was making a rattling noise, then found the bathroom fan did not work and neither one of the lamps. Then the sofa, it was pretty filthy, stains all over and very worn out, you could feel the grease of whatever was on it from years of use. Pulled out the sleeper bed and it was deplorable, squeaky and no support whatsoever and very worn out. I have seen sofas thrown away that are in better shape than this one. The floor was not clean, you could see the stains from whatever was dropped and they were sticky. The shower didn't look clean either, it reminded me of a Motel 6 I once stayed in when I was younger and broke. Called the front desk and asked for a different room, was told they didn't have any other like the one I booked, OK so I asked for one with two queen beds, was told they were all dirty and cleaning staff had left for the day. I went online and search the same hotel, was offered a room with 2 queen beds so you tell me how can there be no rooms available yet you are offered to book a room online. My son slept in the bed with us, it was not very comfortable but we managed to get through the night. Walking around the hotel, I saw very dirty floors, it is obvious the upkeep is poor or the owner does not want pay or hire the staff to get the job done. This hotel should be rated a two star hotel, at $135/night rate, you need to do better. The hotel is also not that old, built in 2016, my advise to travelers seeking to stay here, go somewhere else.

Fantastic staff, happy animals, well-kept facilities...what an incredible day we had. It feels like a dream. Easy day trip outing with the family or as a date- book your animal experiences online like we did at https://www.bluehillsranch.com . The staff was flexible to shift timing of the experiences so we didn't have to wait long in between- they were extremely accommodating and we never felt rushed either. The otter swim/playtime experience was originally what drew us, and it was even better than I'd imagined. Worth every penny! Then we got to feed and pet the capybaras, which were way friendlier than I thought they would be! The babies enjoyed some extra belly rubs too. Bottle feeding the kangaroo was so fun too- little Dundee was SO soft and loved all the pets, even gave us kisses! The giraffes were super friendly and greeted us every time we were nearby; feeding and getting quality time with them was an extra treat. The safari ride tour was also amazing- 5 of us fit comfortably and got to feed/see lots of animals that we wouldn't normally get to experience. We were surprised at how this place wasn't crowded at all in the middle of July when it is peak vacation season, so it really felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. They also have a beautiful main lodge area that is comfortable and welcoming with additional animals to enjoy.

I just happened to see something come through my newsfeed over Fb, I bookmarked it, found my schedule open, so headed east to check it out. Emma likes to play in her room... and who doesn't like to play with little spirits?! I didn't know the history of the Magnolia Hotel so was totally clueless walking in the door... Magnolia Hotel has been on Ghost Adventures on Travel Channel. Also, Magnolia Hotel is ~not~ a hotel, it is now a personal residence. To my delight, I was able to hear stories of the old hotel, tales of it's past residents many of which have never left, and how Magnolia Hotel was discovered by the owners. Jim & Erin saved the Magnolia from being demolished... they single handedly have saved a part of Seguin history!... and some haunted history at that! I spent about two hours just hanging out, looking around, and people watching... talked to some interesting people, listening to questions and answers... all very interesting. Did I have an experience? I had something creepy go up the back of my left neck and skull as I was talking to a ghost hunter in the original dining area where the owner was sitting. I also felt some weird things around the house... but something I brushed off at first until I started listening to others talk about it... when you first come up the stairs, it feels really heavy. I originally brushed it off as I just walked up the stairs... but no, go back and you feel it... and everyone was feeling it!!! Emma was playing in her room. One of the guides said just a few minutes earlier, a little girl got scratched. Then someone told her that they saw the door knob in the pink bathroom turn back and forth. The owner, Erin, said this house is more active during the day than at night. Wow! The owners Jim & Erin host a ghost tour in their home on occasion, which books up months in advance. The tour last about 2 hours with in-depth stories which might also include a spiritual reading from the Erin at the end (but only if deceased wish to come forward). Erin has written Haunted New Braunfels, Haunted Seguin, and soon to be released Haunted Magnolia House. All proceeds go towards restoring the Magnolia Hotel. I can not wait to go on their ghost tour!

Although it was made law that we could not travel, they still charged me $600 for nothing. If I could give this company a negative rating, I would. I understand they are a small company; however, they are still making money off of hundreds of people es expressed in an email I received from their "Concierge Team." This should be illegal as I did not want to cancel, I was forced to due to the circumstances. All of their customers should get their money back if they were impacted by COVID19. As a small business, they can apply for money from the U.S. government. I have no recourse as an individual.

***AVOID AT ALL COSTS***…read more Guestspaces is a shady slumlord style property manager. We booked one of their rentals several months ago in advance for the upcoming Formula One race in October and now, months later and after most places are fully booked up and prices have skyrocketed, they canceled our reservation. They are no doubt going to re-list the property for a higher rate as it's clear in reading other reviews, they're no stranger to price gouging. We will be appealing with Airbnb no doubt - just unfortunate as now there are extremely limited options available and everything has gone up immensely in price. Steer clear of dealing with this company at all costs - they will leave you high and dry whenever it is convenient for them. Thanks for ruining our Austin F1 trip, price gouger. *** also worth noting, the positive reviews here seem to be from people who's properties they manage - in other words, those who would benefit from their crooked practice of price gouging*** check it for yourself!
