One of the best hotels I have stayed at in a very long time. The service was excellent. The hotel itself was very quiet. The bed was so comfortable. The linens were soft and if we had had the time I would've loved to have stayed longer! I can't say enough positive Things about this place.

Stayed here for the Come and Take Festival. Love the history aspect of this hotel and Maggie at the front desk was very welcoming and helped make our stay even more enjoyable. Suggestions would include coasters to protect the furniture, either plastic or real drinking glasses, bottled water available in the room, would also be nice to have wine or Prosecco available for purchase along with a small charcuterie board. Would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Gonzales.
