Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was very dated, TV was the size of our very first computer monitor in the 1990's. The pool looked as if it had never been cleaned in years, the lake was probably cleaner and the hot tub was full of rust, at first I thought it was terracotta tile, it was supposed to be light blue/green.

The smell of pot smoke coming into our room on Friday night was horrible and gave us both headaches. It wasn’t as bad Saturday night but would be nice to have smoking further away from the building. The room was large but needs some updates. Carpet seems very dirty, shower and sink faucets both leak, the TV is tiny. The food in the bar is excellent as well as the entertainment.

Liked: Cleanliness
The property was beautiful outside. Fall is a great time to go to Walker. When we checked in the receptionist, she was nice and bubbly. However, when we went to the restaurant/bar for dinner, it was closed. Nothing was mentioned when we booked it. That was one of the main reasons we wanted to stay there. There was another party wanting to know when breakfast is served and they laughed and said no breakfast. It is 10 miles or so into town. The rooms were nice and large. Called and Asked for More cups and coffee in the morning and said they would bring us some. Never did.

We really liked the setting and the accommodations. The grounds and rooms were very nice. There really were no staff around-the restaurant was closed due to no cook. Office was not open during office hours posted. We had everything we needed but it would have been nice to have staff available and the restaurant open.

We were there for an ice fishing trip on horshoe bay, so this was a super convenient location just off the shore and the price was right. Pros: -Large spacious room -Comfy beds -Nice large pool area for kids -Nice view from room ( although not as close to lake as advertised, i think a bit misleading) -generous amounts of toiletries Cons: -noticeable cigarette odors in the hall that seeps into the rooms -super small non absorbent bath towels (bring your own) -need to bring your own hair dryer -there is a fireplace as advertised, but u have to purchase wood -no phone in the rooms to call front desk -heating/cooling in the unit is outdated and super loud. Everytime it starts up, it wakes you up.

Do not stay at Andersons Horseshoe Bay

The help was almost nonexistent. When we did find them - not helpful or friendly. No Wifi, tiny TV, no ice, horrible beds, bar & grill never open, questionable cleanliness in room. We were only there 2 nites & couldn't wait to leave. When we talked to locals in town about it, they were not surprised. We did know it was off season but if they didn't want to deal with guests, they should have been closed.

The hotel is rustic, with no water pressure. We went for a wedding. The room was clean and large. Had all the amenities, but older. The hot tub was broken and the pool cold.
