Hotels in New BraunfelsA no-frills budget hotel off I-35
7.0/10
A practical budget base with friendly staff, but uneven room upkeep.
This is a no-frills budget hotel off I-35, best treated as a base for exploring New Braunfels rather than somewhere to linger. We'd consider it for a short, cost-conscious stay: Expedia and Booking.com guests repeatedly praise the helpful staff and convenient location, and many report clean, comfortable rooms. Free breakfast, parking and WiFi, plus a seasonal outdoor pool, make the basics reasonably useful.
The trade-off is consistency. Recent reviews describe some musty rooms, air-conditioning or plumbing trouble, and occasional room-type mix-ups; breakfast also draws repeated complaints about cold hot-food items. These aren't universal experiences, but they're worth weighing before booking. There's no elevator, and booking sites list a destination fee and refundable deposit. We'd skip it if polished rooms, dependable breakfast or stair-free access to every floor are priorities.
