Hotel Gruene River Outpost Lodge (New Braunfels, USA)

The swimming pool in this property was spacious and regularly maintained. It was open until the evening, and had plenty of lights to make swimming safe after dark. Guests stated that it had plenty of room even for large groups.

Guests noted that the property is a great spot for a group recreational retreat or a family trip. There are many activities for the kids such as basketball, volleyball, and others. There is also a rope across the river from the lodge which is fun to use.

The lodge is right on the Guadalupe River with large, well-kept grounds interspersed with enormous pecan trees. Guests can enjoy picnic outdoors during the day and bonfires at night at the lovely hotel grounds. Therefore, the property is perfect for those who wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Guests stated that the rooms are in desperate need of repairs. They expressed that the walls are in extremely bad condition, and that the ceiling fans were near broken. Others were more concerned about the state of carpeting inside the rooms.

A number of guests reported seeing crickets inside their rooms, while others complained that they were woken up by cockroaches crawling on their beds. Some of them were so alarmed by the insects they had to call a housekeeper to deal with the issue.

According to guests, some of the rooms have only cheap, thin blinds on the window that they barely obscure the light coming from outside. The hallways were also too lit that the brightness entered through the space under the doors.
