El Oso Flojo Lodge Balmorhea

Constance Mack

The room was clean and nicely decorated. The king size bed and pillows were very comfy and cozy. Our room faced a beautiful courtyard and also had a back porch which we sat on and enjoyed a cup of coffee while watching the swallows and enjoying the view of the Davis Mountains. Last night we enjoyed a walk along the stream and watched the turtles by the Cactus Hotel. El Oso Flojo is a wonderful place to stay.

Owner has a counterproductive approach to hospitality. I wrongly assumed that it was alright to show up at 11:00 pm without previous arrangements. Now, I get this is a very small town, and these are mom-and- pop businesses, so I didn't expect anyone waiting for me at a front office. However, once on the phone, the owner wanted to charge me 120.00 dollars for a room in a bare-bones motel in the middle of nowhere, no insult intended. Mind this: only two blocks away there's another motel that charges half of that, taxes included, for similar service; nextdoor bigger town with big-brand hotels is only 45 minutes away, so that's where I spent the night, before coming back to town next day and lodging in another inn, where the price makes sense and the owner is nice to potential customers. I support small businesses, I want to give them my money, just don't disrespect me. Town has a very cozy, tranquil feeling to it, food is great, most of people are nice and friendly, nature is beautiful all around

Very expensive for absolutely no amenities, not even sink soap? No coffee, not even in office. Beware pet charge 30.00 a night? Ridiculously hard to make a reservation. Had to call 3 times to confirm we had one, and then we didn't get what we reserved(2 doubles rather than queen). Horrible TV connection, and no cell service at all. Weird bathroom door provides absutely no privacy whatsoever. This our 3rd stay here. Cute, clean place. Terrible customer service.

Very nice motel. Very clean and well up kept. Rain showers were a blessing for me, who's very tall. Staff was helpful, and willing to take extra steps when I told them I'd be arriving very late. Rooms could have been bigger for the price but overall would stay again.
