Reviewed By Robert L

Wonderfully quiet and peaceful retreat from the bustle of downtown. Close to town AND many vineyards. The room was clean and fresh and everything worked. The grounds are well kept and have a great Texas winery theme. I highly recommend these cottages for a Fredericksburg stay.

Beautiful Hotel, Feels like some new management

Reviewed By 303eryns

We absolutely loved our stay at La Colombe – The building, decor and art was all so beautiful. Everything was perfectly clean, and the staff was very thoughtful. The outdoor spaces were beautiful, and we loved spending time by the quiet pool in the mornings. Two minor notes: 1, Some moments with the staff felt a little awkward. There seemed to be some bumpy miscommunication between concierge, dining and valet. I don't think this was anyone's fault, except for perhaps an absent manager? There seemed to be a lack of leadership and the place just felt a little awkwardly new, like they were still figuring out some kinks. 2, At night, the bar seemed to attract some interesting folks who kind of brought down the elevated vibe in a way. I know you can't control this, but it did seem like some seemed to be friends with the staff. The music selection felt more clubby than elegant, and we were underwhelmed by the (very pricy but not really valuable) wine selections. Would have also been nice to have something included for breakfast. Those were the only negatives, and didn't majorly inconvenience us in any way. Just some things we noticed considering the price tag. Would be happy to give the hotel another shot and hope to see some of these things resolve!

stay off the grass

Reviewed By crippledcronie2022

Four Seasons on the Gulf along with other properties at Galveston are contracted with towing services to have vehicles removed even if you have only one tire on their grass which is what happened to me. Mine were just off the concrete barely on the grass when AAAA came at 1:30 AM and towed it resulting in $45 taxi, $316 for towing plus humiliation at AAAA, Since cash was required we had to forfeit 3 days in Galveston for lack of money for food. No mercy from FSOTG nor AAAA.

Disgrace to Hotels

Reviewed By 607selindas

We booked our service guys there for a week and the rooms were disgusting. They barely managed to tolerate one night and we cancelled the rest of the stay and the manager didn't even refund us the rest of the money for the rest of the nights. Rooms smelled like mildew, towels had hair like they were previously used, dead roaches on the room and bathroom. DO NOT STAY HERE! THEY ARE THIEVES!

Be warned, someone tried to break into our truck last night. Our room was ok. To be expected for a hotel that more commonly hosts guests by the week or month. The bathroom light was not working.ballast out or something. We slept and left. Served its purpose, but due to the two things above, will not stay here again when visiting family around LCU.

Pets and smoke stench, noisy, misleading advertisements, service is good

Reviewed By jinshui

1 star for false advertisement (no pet rule and carpet in rooms) 1 star for terrible road noise (all rooms with odd numbers) 1 star for smoke in room 3 star for room cleanliness 5 star for service 2 star for public areas If you have allergies, beware: This hotel accepts pets and allows smoking We searched high and low for a hotel that do NOT accept pets due to our severe allergies. We found Woodsprings's advertisement that states that they DO NOT accept pets, including service animals. We also needed a non-smoking room. When we arrived, the front desk lady Jennette apologized and said ALL their rooms accept pets and that the advertisement was a mistake. She explained that their rooms go through a cleaning process especially if there had been pet presence. She was nice enough to let us check the rooms before committing. I looked at room 318. The room did not smell of any pet and was quiet, facing another hotel. We took the room and started the check in process. However, according to Jeannette, the "system" automatically assigned the room we wanted to the next person in line. I don't know how that happen but that room was "gone" when she took my credit card info (less than 3 mins from the time i checked the room to walking back to check in at front desk). Jeannette then gave me another set of keys for the room opposite the one I first looked it. This second room faces the super highway and had very loud traffic noise with the big trucks rolling by. This is a highly transient city. Unfortunately, it was the last room and it was almost midnight so we took the room. Jeannette was very sweet and due to the misunderstanding, she offered to upgrade our internet speed. Unlike most hotels, we were told because they are a service apt, the room only offers ONE internet device access and its at low speed. There is a daily fee for access for multiple devices and higher speed. I find this very unacceptable, consider the fact the digital age we are in. This rule is even worse than hotels who charge "parking" in major cities where parking is limited. Unfortunately, the second room did not work out well for us. The road noise was very loud. We also smell residual dog smell in various part of the carpet in the room. The stench is repulsive and makes me want to puke when we were in the room. The next morning around 9ish, there was strong odor of smoke. Someone upstairs or downstairs or next door was chain smoking for hours. it was a cold day and we were in the room (instead of out), unable breathe. We traced a strong smell of mold to the drain in the sink of the kitchenette. The service attendant was quick to respond and then showed up with a huge gallon of "Fabuluso"!!!! (some detergent for cleaning) Of course it masked the smell, not treat the cause of the problem. When we took the elevator down to the laundry room, it smelled of urine. I was appalled. The carpet had fresh stains of the pee. After two nights of putting up, we mentioned to Jennette, who was apologetic and tried to help us switch back to 318, which became available. She was extremely kind and sympathetic. We slept well in #318. It was a lot cleaner - did not smell of dogs or smoke. Nor does it have any road noise. We wish this was the room we had in the first place. Another misleading advertisement: both rooms we were in had low pile carpet, instead of the wood floors that the photos show. We were in favor of the wood floors when we browsed because of covid. They should remove those pictures. So, in conclusion, I believe the rooms have varying degree of cleanliness. If you are allergic to pets and sensitive to smoke like us, this is a hit or miss. We learnt that some guests could stay up to 6 months with their pets so it would be hard for them to remove "smells" in those rooms. Parking was free and aplenty. No, there weren't utensils. If the rooms do not come with towels, you could ask the front desk. Some are newer, some are like rags. The fridge is full size - which was a bonus for us as we had some food items. We did sanitized everything (the entire fridge, countertops etc) due to covid. The heater and AC and hot water works fine. The laminate on the floors are very old and needs update. The room (2 queen beds) was generous. We were grateful for Jennette who helped us during our stay. Our satisfaction of the room condition has nothing to do with her service. We have been traveling and we noticed there are some front desk staff who are terrible - even when the establishments are higher end. However, we would hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to anyone due to the issues we faced.

September 2021 My wife and I stayed in the Guest House. The place was beautiful, the night sky's we're spectacular. Cynta is very knowledgeable, interesting and is a great host. If we get out to Terlingua again (I hope we do.) We will definitely be staying at Villa Terlingua again. My wife left some clothes behind by mistake and Cynta went out of her way and shipped the clothes to our house. Also Cynta dog Baxter is one cool dude. Cynta hope we get out to see you again.
