Shiner Country Inn

For what we wanted, 5 stars. What we wanted:A clean, well-lit place with good amenities to rest our heads for the night, in close proximity to the various sites. This place delivered in spades. It's catty-corner to Welhausen park and some-odd minutes walk or extremely short drive to our furthest destination - the Spoetzl Brewery. Everywhere else we wanted to go was inside that radius. I'll put it like this. My map app would bring up walking options before driving options. The AC blew snowballs (to put it in Texanese). The surroundings were calm and quiet. Despite being in the downtown part of Shiner, it felt like we were in a cabin in the woods. Don't get me wrong. The main road runs right by, but the town's so quiet at night that you barely notice. The restroom:I don't know about you, but quality facilities are a must. I'm including images of the double-shower and the toilet. The tank is huge and the toilet runs thoroughly. If you need a double flush, you might wanna get checked - medically speaking. That is, unless you had overindulged at Friday's Fried Chicken earlier that day (as we did). Then, a second flush might at least be the courteous thing to do. The bed:We got the king sized one, so there was plenty of room for both of us. The pillows were billowy and there were two for each of us. The mattress was comfy but properly firm, without being rigid. It didn't swallow us, but it didn't reject us either. A second blanket would be nice to add, in consideration of those with spousal blanket hogs. The rest:There was a mini fridge, a coffee maker, and a microwave for the kitchenette, wall-mounted cable TV, a mini upholstered bench, a wicker chair with throw pillow, two unique night stands, a wooden desk with drawers that had a steel bowl on it (perfect for for pocket items like keys, wallet, etc.) and matching 4-legged chair, a large stand-in closet, and plenty of outlets. The decor was sparse, which is fine for us. We weren't in Shiner to spend our time in the room. The floor was linoleum and the restroom had that cool old school tile. For safety's sake, I always recommend chanclas/shower shoes. There were plenty of towels. We never saw a bug, rodent, or other such pest in the room. There's also plenty of outdoor seating. Upshot: Clean, well-priced, and comfortable. What else are you looking for? It's a place to sleep and rejuvenate, not a palace.

We enjoyed our stay and I recommend you stay here if you are ever in Shiner. We attended the Spring Picnic at KC Hall and this motel was a good choice.Parking is limited Location is great but on the main road so be ready for some traffic noise, not too bad though.It was clean AC worked very well Hot water was amazing Walk in shower (Water had sulphur smell to it.) Across the street from a really nice park that the kids loved. Good for waking and hanging out.My only complaint is the kitchen: One nasty cookie sheet That's it Warped Stained grease covered Pretty gross No other pots or pans or cooking utensils. There were a lot of plates to eat off if. Coffee machine Glasses Sparse silverware stored in Dickey's cups Felt like a college dorm room or bachelor pad.Yes I have been spoiled by Airbnb that provide more things to cook and heat up food so maybe it's just me. Not many hotel/motel room have kitchens so maybe I expected too much. The fridge and oven did work, but I'd throw in some pots and pans for those that want to cook. Fold down couches came in handy in living room. Some of the light switches didn't work unless you forced them up or down..I dunno Top socket in bedroom didn't work but bottom socket did. Overall we enjoyed it

A very clean and cute little hotel. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and decorated nicely. Cute town.

Basic room. Could use outlets bedside so you can plug in your phone. But the bed was comfortable and the room was clean. We cut our visit short due to nothing to do in the town and had no trouble getting a refund. If you have to stay in Shiner, this is a good place to stay...

Nice clean room but the TV doesn't work. Hope you don't need anything after 6 pm cause nobody will call you back. Never setting foot in this town again what a joke $100 for a room with no tv and there's nothing to do in this one horse town after 6. I am so pissed off right now! Don't stay here!! Tell your friends!!

What a pleasant surprise. Less than $50 a night and rare hospitality and clean quaint rooms. They even have a carport for our motorcycles!

I stayed again! Cleanest room I ever stayed in. My girlfriend actually walks barefoot on these floors. The tile in the shower is the original and it is immaculate!
