Terri S, Kerrville TX Mon, 3 December 2012

I adored staying at the Stephen F Austin hotel. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, the room was beautiful and comfortable, and it was next door to the theater where I went to a concert (Stateside at the Paramount). A super deal all the way around.

Liked: Wonderful hotel.

Great staff, might be “Ghost...

Liked: Staff were so responsive. Nice location and outdoor seating at bar.
Disliked: Room 410 has the craziest lighting, going on and off. Problem with sheets was quickly addressed.
