Inn on Barons Creek

The location is great. Just 2 blocks from Main Street it is close enough to walk yet far away enough to be quiet. The staff is very friendly. The only downside is the general cleanliness of the common areas. The hallway carpet is worn and dirty. We enjoyed the seating area outside under the live oak trees.

I have no words. We stayed in a creek room. Maybe that was our mistake. One word— disgusting! How, in 2024, does this hotel still have brown polyester bedspreads, lace curtains, and brown shag carpet. The bathroom was NOT clean. Had not been moped, hair was all over. If we hadn't already paid for the room for three nights we would have moved across the street. ALSO the entire hotel smelled like pine sol or a high fragrance cleaning product. Again it's 2024, most hotels know people are highly a allergic to cleaning products. The worst hotel room I have stayed at to date and I travel monthly.

I was in town for my nephew's wedding & I couldn't have been happier with staying here. I had a creekside cabin. The room was nice & quiet. The tub is a Whirlpool so it was very deep a little hard to get into. My A/C quit working , but the maintenance guy, Fernando (?) , just took it out & replaced it with a new one. I never went to the spa, breakfast or the outside lounging, but it was nice knowing it was there if I needed it. It was also nice that the cabins were easy to get to if you have a disability. The cabins entrance is at ground level & there are luggage carts available. The stairs in my picture go down to the creekside lounging.

The staff is very courteous and professional. Made sure we had the live music calendar as soon as we arrived. Had several restaurant recommendations, very knowledgeable about the area. Biggest drawback was that the pool needed more shade - because it's hot in Texas in the summer... We are from here so, it's just a fact.

The location is good because you’re on a creek but close to town. It is a smaller hotel but I wouldn’t call it a boutique hotel. The service was very good and friendly. The young man who checked us in worked hard to put us in connecting rooms which I had reserved. The separate sitting room is nice for various bedtimes. The shower head was nice with good water pressure. The bathroom counter was nice and large. The beds were good but the pillows were very hard and I woke with a sore neck. There weren’t many outlets to use. The guests before us had to unplug the TV and clock, making us think the TV didn’t work. Later when I was trying to find a plug I realized why they unplugged them and I had to do the same. The pool is in a pretty outside setting on a grassy hill sloping to a creek. There are several padded lounge chairs. There wasn’t much shade. The free breakfast was elevated by the use of silverware and dishes rather than plasticware. They offered sausage rolls, biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs and sausage patties along with breads, bagels and muffins. Parking was free and plentiful.

I could not get over the smell in the room. I thought it would dissipate the longer I spent in the room. It did not. I could not sleep in that room, so I left. $200 down the drain. The smell was mainly chemical. Maybe the cleaning products they use have a strong smell?

This place is all around wonderful. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and very clean. Location is great and everyone is friendly and helpful. Wendy was at the desk when we arrived and she is an ace. We are finicky with our rooms and she was patient and with a terrific sense of humor.

This place has dishonest housekeeping staff, who will help themselves to your clothing and you cannot get the Housekeeping Supervisor to call you back. The front desk staff just deny knowing anything about it and after weeks of calling about my suit top I just gave up which I am sure is their mode of operation…Really should have filed a police report. I will never ever stay at this hotel again, which is a shame as we belong to a wine club and make frequent trips to Fredericksburg to attend wine parties and shop! SHAME ON YOU ALL FOR BEING COMPLICIT IN THIS DISHONESTY AND NOT TAKING THE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO FIND THE CULPRIT AND RETURN MY TOP. SHAME ON YOU ALL FOR FEELING YOU HAD THE RIGHT TO HELP YOURSELF TO YOUR GUESTS CLOTHING!!!!

What we love about this hotel is the outside area and the short distance to downtown. There are many tables and chairs beside the creek which are a perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine. Short walk to Main Street is perfect in case you have two glasses of wine by the creek. What we would like to see improved is the beds and pillows. The rooms are older and a bit thread bare, but clean and very spacious. Also please give us a real glass instead of plastic cups. The creek side room view was very nice and the room was quiet. Starbucks coffee in the room is a very nice touch and the included hot breakfast was good. Front desk staff (Terri Spiers) was pleasant and accommodating when the length of our stay had to change. But booking directly with the hotel (versus a site like *******) allowed me to avoid a days penalty when we left early. We will certainly stay here again, and will invite friends too.
