Michele was super responsive and so kind! Our stay was just wonderful! The rooms were so cozy and comfortable! There was a full size washer and dryer if we needed it! The king-size bed was very plush and relaxing. The amenities were so nice; a coffee bar, snacks, games, books, TV and internet, a Futon and recliner in the living space! Plenty of parking space! Will definitely stay there again if in Brenham! Thank you so much!

Michele made everything so easy! Super easy check in, super clean, VERY comfortable bed! Sheets! Pillows! Loved the towels and washcloths for our faces (ordered some when I left!!) Her thoughtful touches leaving us a handwritten welcome note, homemade cookies, chocolates and ice cream in the freezer were SO appreciated! There is nothing I would add or change. 5 star all the way! And 20 minutes to Round Top!

This was perfect for what we needed on our trip. We wanted somewhere to have a great night’s rest after spending 12 hours at Round Top each day. Downtown Brenham is a couple of blocks away with great food and bars to enjoy. This suite is intimate but there is a lovely backyard if you are wanting to spread out more. The host, Michelle, was very responsive and you can tell they are thoughtful and want you to enjoy your stay. Our only hiccup was when we entered the code to enter the suite. We mistakenly thought we needed to use the thumb pad and then enter the code but quickly figured it out. Would recommend for sure.
