Gorgeous Pool Area in Restored Historic Motel I love the old Stagecoach Inn and I'm so glad that Bunkhouse Group took the property over. It had fallen into disrepair. Bunkhouse did a good job on the restoration but they have a way to go.On the plus side they kept and enhanced the beautiful large old school pool.Its so lush back there and refreshing to see a big pool and spacious deck area. Rooms are mid century and comfortable. All was clean. Beds great. On the needs work side is the old lobby building is just empty and the front area on the old highway entrance is just an overgrown lot.This is a shame and brings down the appeal of the Shady Villa.They need to do something with that space or level it.They should also fix up the old Stagecoach Inn neon sign maybe put it by the pool and it would be InstaGram gold immediately.

Guests can unwind in this traditional, history-inspired hotel located in several mid-century buildings with an outdoor pool and free WiFi

Wish we’d known Wish we’d known: -Parking non existent. Stayed in what was supposed to be pool side view room. Couldn’t see pool for overgrown dying vegetation. Had to park down a hill and around a tree (if other cars weren’t already parked there) and then tote all luggage up a slopped gravel rocky driveway to a cement ramp that was in bad need of repair. An accident waiting to happen for seniors. -TV in room had to have cable box reset each time we turned it on. -No ice in building. Would have to get in car and leave and drive to office while taking chance you can’t find a place to park upon return. I would add on our 2nd day there it was 105 to 110 degrees when we returned from shopping and discovered our room keys were deactivated. Office staff wouldn’t answer phone so had to once again get in hot car, drive to office and have them activate our keys. -rooms were nice and AC worked and for that we were thankful, -office staff were friendly and appears they are doing the best they can with what they have to work with. -From what we could tell pool was clean and working fine. -this hotel could be a wonderful place to stay if…

Very disappointed about the pool not being open in the heat of summer and not telling the customers... Our friend chose to celebrate her 50TH birthday here, We brought our floats and was going to stay at the pool. However, it was closed. Bad management not to let the customers know. Sad birthday party.

Coasting on 20th century memories No pool, no pool side diner, no restaurant. Lots and lots and lots of dead, non-native vegetation. Owners tried and failed to recreate a romantic tropical getaway in brutally hot, drought-stricken, central Texas. Green, unusable pool. Weirdest landscaping choices I have ever seen. Burnt, dead plants and ivy throughout pool and room entrances. Only reason got 3 stars was the exceptionally nice staff (the very few that were left). Seemingly nothing left from fun family gatherings you remember from the 1990s.

So much potential, but still a ways to go. The Shady Villa Hotel has so much potential. It made me sad to see the Stagecoach Inn in such disrepair. From my experience it seemed to be short staffed and overbooked which is never a combination for success. We arrived at 3 p.m. and our room wasn't ready until after 6:15 p.m. There were several of us at the retreat who had the same experience. The pool was a murky mess. The bar staff by the pool and inside Stagecoach Inn were very friendly. Loved them! The lobby clerk was rude and unapologetic for the rooms not being ready. The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable and QUIET. I can't believe how quiet the rooms were, especially with the traffic from the hwy right next to us. We stayed on the first floor. Another person stayed in the same building but on the 2nd floor and said she heard the traffic all night, so I guess our room noise was buffered by the landscaping. WIFI never worked in our room nor in the conference room which was a huge deal for our retreat. Bunkhouse needs to either shut it down until they can get its act together or they will lose customers. So much potential, but needs more TLC to get there.
