Denis
Good for an overnight stay in town.
Sara
Very Clean and quiet! We looked out our big, back window and White-tail does and fawns were playing!
Jake
Great stay on the edge of the main street strip. From the outside, I was a little nervous. But walked in, the staff was very kind. Quick check in. Room were very clean, bedding perfect. (And im picky) was very impressed. The building is older. But very well kept. Would definitely stay again. So close to Main Street to enjoy the town.
Oziel
Price, price, and price . Cheapest in town.
David
Clean and organized with a pool. Right down the street from all the action in Fredericksburg.
Carissa
Good location. Off the main road but not in the middle of the busy downtown
Lainie
This is a charming vintage roadside motel, that is perfectly comfortable but definitely old and dated. I enjoyed staying there and did not mind the older feel of the space. It was clean and well maintained. The lady who greeted us was friendly and welcoming. Close to where all the action is, but not so close that you are in the middle of it. Would stay here again.
charlotte
Last minute booking on a busy Fredericksburg weekend. It was perfect. Clean, cool and deer in the meadow. Also really helpful front desk.
Heather
The Dietzel is a wonderful, retro, getaway motel in Fredericksburg, Texas. It's a writer's delight: actual room keys, wonderful view out the window, built-in drawers - this is the place to stay to be inspired to write stories about a different time in American travel! JJ was super nice at check-in and check-out, and they do offer modern amenities like a mini-fridge in the room and shampoo and lotion (and even shave cream!) in the bathroom.
Yes, there are some dips and \"potholes\" in the gravel and caliche driveway, but this is central Texas, and if you've ever driven on a dirt road in your life, this is nothing. The a/c unit can be loud for those with sensitive hearing, but the room and motel are great and something that reminds you of the travel stories your grandparents might have experienced. Plus the view from the bed was so relaxing - not a parking lot or buildings, just real trees and nature - we saw at least one red bird and a deer! Being inspired and enjoying the room was totally worth the stay!

Kem
It is an older property that still uses keys. It is kept clean but dated. You get what you paid for. It was fine for a night and staff was helpful.
Scott
Very clean motel on the west end of town. Too far to comfortably walk but an easy uber ride.
Mallie
Becca at the front desk was very helpful and friendly!!
D'Ana
The hotel is older, but it is clean. You can tell they have maintained it well due to the age and how clean it is. The pool was clean. We got to town around 1pm and they let us check in early with no extra fees. The view out of the hotel window was of the lot next door, and it was basically just trees. So, it was a nice natural view and we even saw some deer. I would stay here again, for sure. Due to it being at the end of the strip. it was really quiet. The parking lot could use some love, but it was fine.
Kristy
If you are looking for a vintage feel, this is your place. It is so cute and reasonably priced. The staff was nice, and the rooms were clean. We would stay here again!
Dawn

Everything was very good. The cleanliness of the room. The customer service was great. My room was clean and comfortable. I felt very safe as a woman traveling alone.
Bob
Motel compares with an older Motel 6. Pretty clean, but old.
Robinette
First, it was worth what we paid. We will not stay there again as it was not clean, and it is just too old. We were happy with parking right in front of our room. The 2 staff we interacted with were great.
Joseph
Gravel parking lot, but this vintage/retro motel is in excellent condition. Clean & comfortable.
chris
Great parking. Friendly staff.
Brian
quaint old motel quiet
Jennifer
The place is older but it was clean and had a lot of nice characteristics that you don’t get in newer places. Windows you could open and lots of parking.
Daniel
The beds are very firm. It also appeared that the sheets on the bed had not been changed. There were hairs in them that weren’t ours. The room was comfortable.
Otherwise the property is very well maintained and well kept.
It’s an older hotel but it has been well maintained and has a vintage feel.

The room was clean and the staff that checked us in was very friendly. It was an older place but had alot of room inside with a small table and recliner. It's obviously older stuff but we didn't mind the stay. Just slept and got ready there since. The price was great as well. We would stay there again.
Gary
Parking is near room
Barbara
like stepping back in time, very quaint, quiet, well maintained , comfy bed , soft towels …older motel but nicely cared for, only issue was shower head is very low, i’m only 5’7” and i had to duck down to wash my hair or face, not a lot of water pressure but very hot water. Staff was very nice, friendly and helpful, excellent german food resturant next door .
Leslie
We stayed one night and it was very easy and accomodating
Debra
Felt very safe, very clean room, bedding smelled fresh. Cleanliness outstanding. An older facility but has ac/heating, coffee in room, microwave, small fridge—the basics if you’re just looking for a good night’s sleep. Price very reasonable for the area. I’d come back.
Vicki
Room was clean, easy to get to. Staff was very helpful. Love the retro, more simple and an efficient price. We will stay there again.
jeff
The parking was very easy and secure. The air conditioning worked great. The room was impeccably clean. Great detail was put to making it to a relaxing stay.
Faith Anne
What you see on their site is not what you get. Mold in the shower. Cockroaches. Stains on both mattresses. The list goes on and on. Posting pictures.
Rocio
“Very old, probably family-run motel. The room was clean and cold, but the mattress was uncomfortable and in need of replacement. Overall, the property felt run-down and overdue for updates.”
Rhonda
It was like going back in time. It was built in 1959 and they kept that look. The water pressure was great, and the AC was cold. The toilet had rust stains but it was clean and worked fine. You can watch the deer in the morning and them run by at night. NO bugs of any kind. Becka and JJ were the people that worked there and were so helpful. They knew all the right places to go. I will be back, that’s for sure!
Patricia
Close to the area where were going to and customer service was excellent… thank you

Good old fashioned motel. Clean, heat and air worked well. Pool looks clean and ready to go. JJ and Becca were kind, helpful and friendly. Walked to town. Deer grazing out back!
Frances
Clean, friendly, extremely quiet. Perfect little room for a weekend getaway.
Tracy
The room was clean, no isssues for us, just realize that it is an older motel and all is good.

Clean Rooom.

The Deitzel is a quaint old-fashioned motel, with cute fixtures one no longer finds, like the porcelain gas wall heaters and built-in chest of drawers.
However, it is not upscale, so if you require such touches, this is not the place for you. One must appreciate vintage preservation to enjoy this stay.
We felt comfortable once we got the AC to stay on. (Turn it off the auto setting).
The beds were a little too soft for our liking, but others may enjoy how pillowy they are.
Late night check in staff was pleasant and gave good suggestions for places to eat.
We enjoyed looking out at deer in the early morning through the gorgeous windows that make up pretty much the entire back wall.
Overall, the room served its purpose, with a little retro charm added in.

This place was a throwback to places I stayed while traveling with my family in the 80's. It was clean, comfortable and met our needs.
Ene
We had a comfortable stay. It was close to downtown and the beds and linens were clean and comfortable.
Maria
Woman in lobby very nice at check in.
Room decent and clean. Good place for a bed and shower. It looked kinda sketchy at first, (I am a single woman staying alone). No issues. Good stay

Nice size room and bathroom. Vintage vibe but staff was friendly, bed was comfy, and the hot water was hot! :)
Barbara
Was fine-clean, friendly staff at check in, until you come in at 9:20 and while discuss the amazing meal you had the room next door yells “shut the f*** up b*****s” through the door that separates the two room. Definitely do not feel comfortable and will not be returning.
Tracy
The hotel is old, but clean and in a good location for us. The staff is really friendly.
Tracy
Staff was very friendly and explained that they are short staffed and informed us of the situation. This allowed our expectations to be realistic and everything was great. We just had to go pick up freash towels in the office. This is an old school motel so..knowkknow that.
William
Staff was fun, room was bad.

No frills and just right! The room was clean, shower was clean, beds were comfy. The staff in the office was friendly. We will definitely stay again!
Phyllis
tv problems
amy
The room we stayed in was clean and everything worked. The room was falling into disrepair, though. The door to bathroom had a laminate that was badly damaged, the beds creaked quite a lot, and there was a some broken drywall in the bathroom window. The property is affordable, convenient, safe, and quiet and we will likely stay there again but wish the room was in better condition.
Jenette
We want a refund totally gross toilet didn't use etc its ridiculous did not sleep in the bed spiders. Came to motel spiders on the bed.

Quaint mid-century motor inn on the Western edge of Fredericksburg's historic Main Street. Rooms are period-authentic and spacious. Ours had a picture window view of the nature preserve behind the motel with deer and other local wildlife. Walking distance to nextdoor German-themed restaurant, and just a 5-minute drive from restaurants and shops at the heart of the historic district. Reasonably priced, and friendly, accomodating staff.
myra
It's an old motel and hasn't been updated but charges prices like Holiday inn or La Quinta.
Hailey
This motel is way too old and gross. There was a dead scorpion in my room. I would not stay here again. It is way overpriced for what you get.
Terry
The staff at the property were professional and friendly. My issue is the cost of the room is not competitive at all with the level of service.
No cleaning of rooms, we had to get towels and toiletries ourselves daily, pool closed due to staffing issues and no breakfast.
All of this should be provided for the cost charged. This hotel is not remotely worth the money.

Serenity
It was okay just for a one night stay. Clean enough, but desperately needs to be updated. Paneling on doors is falling apart, ceiling above one of our beds was sagging, wondering how they keep each room warm in the winter as there were incredibly old and seemingly unsafe heaters installed into the walls. Staff was kind and helpful.
Erin
Affordable and clean 😀
Older classic 50’s motel. Very clean and conveniently close to downtown Fredericksburg 😀
Tracy
On the edge of town
This is an old hotel, but we love the location and parking right by the door to our room is so handy. The staff is friendly, we have stayed multiple times. They are short on cleaning staff, so daily room cleaning was paused but they provided fresh towels which is really all that we needed.
Randall
Older motel, needs updating. No daily room cleaning. Had to request clean towels
Trisha
Just ok.
Very old slightly charming motel. We enjoyed the pool! This motel could definitely use updating. The first room, the refrigerator didn’t work. The AC had not been turned on ahead of time, even though it was August. The second room, the refrigerator work, but the door wouldn’t close all the way so I had to put a chair up against it to keep it semi closed. The second room also the AC had not been turned on ahead of time.
Randal
Very nice property, quiet well kept and reasonably priced. Plan to return for October Fest.

The property is affordable but outdated.

This is an older motel that others overlook. The bed was so comfortable and the room was spacious. The pool was so relaxing and enjoyable.
Steve
Value for money!
Christine
Retro Vibe Awesome Stay
Wonderful stay! The room was spotless, and the check-in process was warm and welcoming. I especially enjoyed waking up to the peaceful view of deer right outside my window — such a lovely touch of nature. I would definitely stay here again!
Bryan
We had no complaints. Room had everything we needed, including most importantly a extremely comfortable bed. Fresh linens. Clean. AND the A/C worked!
John
The rooms are clean and affordable.
Linda
Property was good. Pool far enough away from rooms that late evening soakers weren't intrusive. Most beneficial, would be inexpensive solar powered spot lights on entry signage after dark. Both sides of both signs illuminated for less than $100.
Eli
Clean
Nice place and quiet away from town.
Cynthia
Price is great, location , friendly staff. just needs some TLC, clean, served purpose. Wildlife is nice to see outside window.
edwin
Great place to stay just out of town.
Dwight
Will definitely go back
Jenny
Older motel , still a good value
Tracy
This is a old motel, because of that we love it. Takes care of your basic needs, is clean and comfortable.
Verified traveler
At first glance the property was questionable. But the staff was super friendly, the beds super comfy and ac worked very well. Not to mention reasonably priced! Definitely would stay again.
Kathy
This is a motel on the edge of town. It had many positive reviews, but now I wonder how old they are. Everything could use an update—it bordered on shabbiness. I’d advise not paying in advance as we did.
Joan
Needs to be updated
Glenn
Quaint motel on the edge of downtown action
Quaint motel near a German restaurant ant not too far from the downtown action.
Michelle
Older 1960s hotel
Nice older hotel...it needs some updates, especially how they plug in all the appliances. We stayed 1 night - bedding could be updated as we felt it was a little outdated/overused. Price was ok...it was away from the downtown traffic which made for a quieter stay. Would possibly stay here again for a night.
Donna S
Was expecting something better!
Laura

Place is old school, RETRO. Loved it and slept comfortable.
Joseph
We did not stay at this motel! We went to check-in but once we arrived in the parking lot, and motel lobby, the rooms were nothing like what we expected from looking at the online photos and description. We spoke with the female attendant who called the Owner/Manager and She spoke with me and said she would support a full refund to me but said I would have to go through Expedia. Expecting this response will trigger a refund and if necessary you can contact the motel manager to discuss. Feel free to contact the Motel Manager or myself by phone or you can email me ...I respectfully request a refund to be provided to me; If not, I will never utilize Expedia again and will post many negative comments online. Thank you and appreciate a prompt response.
