We decided to stay a night in San Saba because we read it was like Fredericksburg, but without the crowds, but there isn’t much to there other than a handful of shops. Pretty tired town. No restaurants of any quality. As for the hotel...Very nice room and comfortable bed. Water was hot and towels large and soft. Western themed decor. WiFi was spotty. Basic TV channels. Street noise wasn’t as bad as expected based on other reviews. Would we stay here again..? Hmmm...if you took this place and relocated it another place, yes, but not in San Saba.

This boutique hotel checks ALL the boxes in what we were looking for in our Valentines getaway. The decor was spot on, the bathroom was simply gorgeous, the bedroom was rustic but perfect, and the entire experience was fantastic. Yes the street noise was a little loud at times, but I had read this ahead of time and came prepared with my small electric fan that I take pretty much every where for just enough background noise to block out other sounds and help me sleep. Bottom line; I highly recommend staying in the Dofflemyer Hotel, eating downstairs in the cafe (Oliver and Company), shopping in Harry’s and hiking in Colorado Bend. Perfect weekend getaway!

5 stars all the way! Yes it’s a little noisy but ear plugs are provided. Also I never noticed an elevator so know you’ll have to carry your luggage up some stairs. This doesn’t deter me though from giving it all 5 stars. The decor of this place is top notch. The beds and bedding were super comfy. I’d love to know where they buy their sheets. Their towels as well. So absorbent yet soft. Breakfast is not provided but there’s a coffeepot in the hallway and it’s good coffee! There is a nice cafe downstairs and the prices are very reasonable. This hotel has self check in which was very convenient. I did meet the housekeeping staff while getting coffee and they were super friendly. They come in every day and tidy up your room and provide more towels if needed. Not many hotels do this anymore. Love, love, love this place and so glad my daughter found it for our yearly mother/ daughter trip.

First of all, if you can not climb a large flight of stairs with your luggage, reconsider this location. No Elevator. Second if you are a light sleeper then also consider another option. This hotel is right on the two main crossroads and the diesel trucks and teenage hot rods make a lot of noise. The Coffee Shop downstairs could also be clearly heard through the floor (but they close fairly early). The room was very clean, the bathroom was fantastic, and with only 6 rooms it was not a noisy hallway. (But another addition to the noise is every room has a keypad that beeps and every time someone goes in their room there are 5 beeps. They also encourage you to hang up your towels to save water, but do not provide a towel rack. Overall a nice place, but not our perfect quiet retreat.

It’s a really neat old building and the rooms are tasteful and clean, but don’t count on getting a good night’s sleep when you’re here. Windows may as well be open for the amount of street noise you’ll hear, and the hotel knows because they are kind enough to leave earplugs by the bed. Also the hot water at the sinks made a very loud clanging noise, like the pipes were vibrating, and we heard this loud noise coming from other rooms as well. You’ll also hear people in the hallway - there’s just no sound insulation in this old building at all. Coffee is available down the hall but not in your room. There’s no front desk, which was fine for us, but when I replied to a text sent with check-in info asking a question, I never got a reply.

Gorgeous remodeled quaint little hotel. ( only 6 rooms ). Nice rooms and bathrooms. TV works.

But ...
Very weak Wi-Fi
Very noisy. They do provide earplugs beside the bed.
No shampoo or conditioner.
No elevator. You must carry your luggage up the stairs.
No breakfast. There is a coffee shop on the first floor, but it’s not very good and frequently “out of stock” on basic breakfast items.
Bed was EXTREMELY soft. If you have back problems, probably best to find another hotel.
And ... no staff at all. So, hope you don’t have any issues.

I would expect to find a boutique hotel of this quality in downtown Austin, Portland, or Nashville. But not this far from the Big City. Very impressive! Great hotel and beautiful town. Good service too. No complaints.

My husband and I recently came to San Saba to go cave crawling at Colorado Bend State Park. I immediately looked for hotel recommendations on tripadvisor and saw this gem. We stayed in Room 6 (suite) of the Dofflemyer Hotel and we fell in LOVE with it. It is beautifully redone without compromising the original details. From the the beautiful wood floors, to the super comfy bed to the awesome shower to the original tin ceiling it is wonderful! I definitely plan on coming back and would recommend anyone coming through San Saba to stay here. It is extremely affordable and you will get way more than your money's worth!

I love when old buildings are renovated for a different use, and this one is done very well! The rooms were fun with eclectic furniture, a sliding barn door for the bathroom door, and subway tile in the bathroom. The crisp, freshly ironed sheets were delightful, and the bag of toasted pecans waiting for us in the room were a great treat. (San Saba is the "pecan capital of the world".)
Travel Tip: San Saba has few restaurants, and most of them are closed on Sunday and Monday :(
