The motel is wonderful, it’s our 2nd time back here. The location is brilliant for the bars and restaurants, Bandera is a fabulous place. The motel helped us massively with a booking that could have gone wrong (due to booking through a 3rd party) 11th St Cowboy bar is a must, as is OST, that’s without listing all the other bars and food places. And if you want to be a cowboy, or cowgirl for a day, contact Bandera Historical rides. Thanks for having us.
