We mostly slept there, but loved sitting on the little patio after visiting places. I lived in Kerrville for 16 years and wanted to return one more time.
The YO has always been special. Rate was great.

Awful experience. Tile floors were cold and uninviting. No free breakfast included with stay like most places. Could not find a parking space on Friday night for my handicapped wife.
Probably the worst experience of any place we have ever stayed.

The staff was helpful and pleasant. Beautiful lobby.
The rooms are 'ok'. Dated furniture. Mushy beds. The floor of our room needed a deep steam clean. I could tell the staff cleaned the room, but I'm talking about cleaning that the maid staff are not equipped to do.

Staff was great! Only issue was check in was at 4 but when we arrived around 5 no rooms were ready yet and we didn’t get our keys until after 6. Really put a damper on dinner plans since timing was thrown off. But again, front desk staff were great. Not their fault
