We stayed at Hudspeth House May 4-7, and absolutely loved it. We had originally booked the…read moreBluebonnet Room, but as it was a very quiet week, we got upgraded to the O'Keefe Room which was wonderful. The house is beautiful, the rooms were very clean, and the porch is just lovely with lots of seating. I loved the towels (nice and fluffy), the bed was really comfortable, and the home cooked breakfast was amazing. This is not a buffet of pre-cooked items - there is a menu posted on a blackboard, and you can choose from various egg dishes, french toast, etc., including a yogurt parfait with granola they make themselves (which was wonderful). And the coffee is awesome!
The location is also great, it is an easy walk (about a quarter mile) to the center of town.
The O'Keefe room specifically: large room, king size bed, a ceiling fan (which I loved having), a little table and two comfortable chairs, which was nice for relaxing, and a *huge* bathroom.
There are a few things to note (for which I would probably take off half a star if yelp allowed that).
- The wifi is pretty slow at times. We didn't have any trouble streaming video, but on and off as we were using our tablets for other things, we would run into issues.
- The water pressure is terrible in the shower. That might just be because the house is so old, but it seems like there must be something they can do to increase the pressure at least a little.
- The tv's are too small. I get most people probably don't go there to watch TV, but after a long day hiking in the canyon we needed to relax. Our room probably had the biggest TV of all (which isn't saying much) - I looked into the other rooms and they were about the size of a computer monitor.
But, those were minor inconveniences, compared to staying in a wonderful, clean house with the perfect location. If and when we get back to Canyon, we would definitely stay there again.
