I love a motel in general. I also love supporting small businesses. Generally, I feel like that might mean I sacrifice good toiletries but those were good too. Our window opened up on a lovely meadow with deer in it. It was peaceful and quiet and I was confident that that money we spent stayed in that community.

This was our second time staying at this property. The first time we thought everything was just great and had no complaints. This time, though we still like this property, the room we had had poor water pressure and would get suddenly hot or cool, even at 11 PM when I wouldn’t anticipate other people using much water. I do plan to stay here again but will ask in advance for a room without those issues. To repeat my other review, clean room and property, comfy bed, a budget-friendly stay with all the basic amenities.

Outdated but safe and clean. As long as you know the trade-off for the lower rates, it's an acceptable option on a tight budget.

The property first off was listed as Pet Friendly, it wasn't, no pet allowed. It also was a dingy and unsafe looking property, nothing like the photos on website. The owner allowed us to cancel the reservation for the first night that we had made on his website. However, when I went on expedia to cancel, wouldn't allow with a refund. The owner said he had nothing to do with the expedia website and couldn't refund our money for the night of 4th July.

Lovely location in the Hill Country
We were very impressed with the "old meets the new" atmosphere of The Dietzel. Check in was easier than most places we've been. Through no fault of the hotel, the event we came for ended earlier than we expected and we elected to drive home instead of staying the night, so we never actually used the room.

There were little black bugs in the room. We also had trouble with the water in the shower …one minute it was scolding and next it was freezing. The hotel is older but it is due for a drastic remodel.
