I bought a Groupon for Hotel Alsace a couple of weeks ago. When I called to reserve a room, the girl that took my reservation seemed bothered and was very short with me. When my husband and I checked in to the hotel we were greeted by Jenny who was very nice. We were given room 107, the room closest to Highway 90. The road noise was constant throughout the whole of our stay. I am guessing that we were put in that room because of the discounted price of the Groupon. We assumed that the hotel must be accommodating a large number of full-price paying guests since we were given the noisiest room on the hotel grounds, but the next day at breakfast and lunch we only saw a handful of other patrons. Breakfast was sufficient, a pretty standard continental offering - the coffee was very good and the tea selection was nice. A lunch buffet was included in our stay and was very good, the salad bar was great. The wait staff for breakfast and lunch were all very nice. When we checked out we gave our room key to the same girl that had taken our reservation over the phone, and again, she was rude and short with us. Her attitude and the road noise that we tolerated were discordant with the overall feel of the hotel.

Used a Groupon to stay here; now we know why. - Suited for senior citizens and very cheap weddings - not one person under the age of 45 stayed there. - The pillows were exceptionally terrible / lumpy. - Bathtub is narrow and had hair (pubic and otherwise) all over it. - Furniture is spartan, flimsy and chintzy. - Skeleton crew; felt abandoned at times. - Be sure to look at their lengthy list "amenities"... these are bare minimum items that even the cheapest hotels should provide. This place is very good at making very little look like very much. But make no mistake, it's very little. - Lunch was lackluster; all notices say that the buffet closes at 2:00p but it actually closed at 1:30p. - The rooms and breakfast are nothing more than a glorified Motel 6. - Almost everything in the area is closed from Mon - Wed. LITERALLY the only good things in the area are: - Taqueria San Juan (1012 U.S. 90, Castroville, TX 78009) Note: This place doesn't have a sign with their name but it's SOOOO worth eating there, very inexpensive and very good! - Haby's Alsatian Bakery (207 Old US Highway 90 E, Castroville, TX 78009) Felt like we were baited here then trapped. If the room is great, we can enjoy our time there. If the area is great, we can deal with a substandard room. But both? We feel scammed.

Beautiful view, very clean throughout! Only issue was the road noise. The road wasn't too far from our room and unfortunately, made the private balcony a little louder than we would have liked. :( Would have also been nice to have a microwave in the room, although the mini fridge was nice. But, very friendly staff, beautiful view, and the room was perfect for my little family and our needs. :)

My husband and I purchased a groupon for a quick weekend getaway. The small town is nice and the hotel was clean. The room was updated with nice tile and lighting. However, the bed was TERRIBLE!! We both came home with cricks in our necks and sore backs!! We both got massages at the spa which was very nice, however they do need to invest in better massage beds, not folding ones that squeak all the time. The room came with breakfast both mornings, the breakfast was more sparse than a regular cheap hotel breakfast! Very disappointing, for fruit, there was only a bowl of whole oranges, no cut fruit, and no knives to properly dress the fruit either. We did eat the lunch and it was a good salad bar and hot food, however they need to reduce the amount of windex they use in the restaurant as it reeks of it! All in all a nice weekend, but happy to be back in my bed!

Wow....What a beautiful stay. Jenny at the front desk was accommodating, pleasant and informed. The restaurant was delicious and even did some last minute catering for a large group. Rooms were clean, roomy an well appointed. The view at the pool is worth a look. I'll be coming back often as possible, Scott Sims Solaris Power Systems LLC
