Start with love how patriotic this hotel was and then we got the 1776 theme room so even better with a balcony view of the river which you can walk to and take cool dip in then warm up in the hot tub. Loved the social and great breakfast

Gruene River Hotel + Retreat is a FANTASTIC place for the complete \"hotel experience.\" Each room is individually decorated, and it's a joy to make little discoveries in the decor that contribute to the overall theme. We've stayed in the 1776 Room, The Vineyard and Cozy Cabin, and all were fantastic. The breakfast is first rate, they serve free beer and wine for happy hour, and the property is just beautiful, with its limestone and multi-level deck where you can watch the river flow and see deer before breakfast. Staff is all very nice too - super-helpful - and it's so much fun to talk with other guests. We stayed over my birthday and leading up to the Fourth of July, and it was so nice to have such a relaxing stay among friendly folks. And of course the restaurants, bars and shopping in Gruene are always fantastic, when you do leave the hotel.

Our room was lovely with a king bed, leather chairs, a huge bathroom (with red slipper tub) and a private balcony with river views. The breakfast was chef prepared and delicious! There were always snacks, cookies and water out for guests. Deer were all over the property and it is right in the center of Gruene so it’s easy to walk to all the sights and not worry about parking. Highly recommend!

We had a perfect stay at Gruene River Hotel & Retreat. Everything was extremely clean, the staff was wonderful, and the entire property felt relaxing and well cared for. The homemade breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious, and we loved visiting and talking with the staff — everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The additional snacks and drinks offered throughout the day really made the experience feel extra special. The grounds are beautiful, and we especially enjoyed spending time by the riverside. We would definitely stay here again!

Happened upon the Gruene River Hotel & Retreat on Hotels.com. What a find! Can’t say enough about the staff, accommodations, location, the list goes on and on. Newly renovated back porch is incredible. View off the back of the building is incredible. Wildlife roaming around the property is amazing. Homemade free breakfast was terrific. Each room has a unique layout and motif. The personal attention is the best I’ve ever seen and I’ve stayed at hotels extensively in my life. There aren’t enough stars to give this place what it deserves! We will absolutely be back, likely with family and friends in tow!

Has all of the amenities you would see in a \"resort\". Older property, but has the \"broke-in\" feel. Best beach access. Great live entertainment.

The property at Gruene River Hotel and Retreat was amazing. We stayed in “The Perfect Swing” room and it was gorgeous. The bed was so comfortable, the room was very clean and we had a nice little private balcony. If you want to float the river, they have river access down a beautiful path behind the property.
The staff was so friendly. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. Make this your next romantic getaway when you visit Gruene. We loved it and can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful facility ruined by loud guests. We were awoken by a woman screaming, not once, but three times at midnight outside in the pool area. Management seemed to condone this behavior as she was celebrating her birthday. There are several nearby bars and restaurants available for such events.
Management needs to decide if they cater to couples wanting to get away for a quiet romantic trip or an event center for groups and reunions.

Great stay. The daily breakfast is a wonderful treat and delicious. It was great to stay in Gruene and not fe rushed to see everything in one day. The river access is a plus.

Great time in Gruene

Neat hotel right in Gruene. The room was big and comfortable. Nice deck, although it was too hot while we were there to enjoy it. The people were great. Good complementary wine in the afternoon. Great location right in Gruene - walkable to Gruene hall and all the dining and shopping around there.

River Access and Hot Tub

This is a really pretty property! The service was excellent. Just so you know there is quite a steep drop down to the river--125 stone steps--we thought it would be closer to the hotel. You can sit outside on their patio and look down at the river. Also the photo of the pool is a little deceiving in the photos--it is a hot tub which does no good on a 100 degree day! I think they should just turn it into a soaking pool for hot weather--we sure could have used it to cool off!

Relaxing Retreat for Wedding Anniversary.

Quaint little spot on the river. Loved our room with a balcony over looking the river. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was delicious, baked goods all day, lovely wine at Happy Hour. We would recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet spot to unwind.

Everything was great from being received to accommodation's cleanliness and comfort. Fantastic view and proximity to everything we wanted to do was fantastic. The only thing I would have to say is that the cook should mix up the breakfast menu a bit. Frittatas we’re super tasty but not everyday. Otherwise a fantastic experience and will be booking our next stay soon.

Beautiful Hotel

My husband and I were lucky enough to check in early, we stayed one night in the Vinyard room. Our room was perfect, plenty of room with large bathroom. The views out back overlooking the river are gorgeous with lots of sitting areas to watch the sunset.
Plenty of amenities with hot tub, game room and library. The full breakfast was awesome! The hotel is within walking distance to plenty of restaurants, shops, Gruene hall and Gruene Grove which had good music playing at both venues. The staff were all very friendly. Wished we could have stayed longer. We would definately stay again.

The room was clean and sufficiently supplied. The service was friendly. It is a very informal place. We are accustomed to that in Texas.
The site is great. Location is great; on the edge of the historic district, thankfully not in the middle of it.
Breakfast was awesome! The food was great. The service and set up made it feel very personally tailored. Sorry- no photos.
