As you walk up to Ye Kendall and enter the lobby, you can't help but notice the charm. The bar and resturaunt area have the same quaint feel. I didnt eat breakfast there, but the menu items for lunch or dinner are very good. The hotel is only one block away from the main street shops, resturaunts and events. We stayed in a suite the first night. It was weird. You walk in and think it's neat, but... after sleeping in the bed, using the 3 foot sink and the shower you don't really want to again. We switched to the much smaller Times room. I liked it better. The bathroom was much nicer. The tv in it was silly old, but hey, there was cable.

Overall rooms and prices bring this place down. Everything else is great. I don't think think anything over $85 is a fair price for a stay here, but if you are passing through, I would suggest stopping in for lunch and walking the area.

We stayed at the Inn for a two night getaway the week end after Thanksgiving. We decided to stay at Ye Kendall due to the proximity to down town Boerne. The Inn is extremely convenient for any downtown activities. This is the only plus for staying at Ye Kendall. The Inn is very old and has lots of history. This is all good but the rooms are very average at best. The pool(either a small pool or large hottub) need some TLC. I realize its winter time but the grounds need some work. We stayed in the Garden Court. The walls are very thin. You can hear everything next door as well as everything going on outside even when people are talking in a normal tone. There are no windows in the room. The only outside view is through the glass entry way door. This is ok but there no drapes on the door and built in mini blinds do not block out the shining lights from the walkway at night. There is always light coming in the room. Although I didn't stay there to watch tv, the tv was almost as old as the hotel.... TV's are cheap - upgrade them.

The Inn has wireless Internet access which worked well. The king size bed was a little soft and kinda had the hot dog bun feel in the middle..ie if you lay in the middle, it kinda rolls up around you - not too bad but definitely noticeable.

The toilet flapper leaked resulting in the toilet re-filling the bowl about every 5 minutes..... Very annoying when you are trying to sleep. There were plenty of towels but the quality is much to be desired. I haven't stayed in a motel 6 in a long time but from what I remember the towels are of a similar quality.

The front desk in not manned all the time - not an issue for us but something to keep in mind. They do have someone on call 24 hrs a day if needed.

I would recommend the Hampton Inn over Ye Kendall. It doesn't have the historic charm or proximity to down town as Ye Kendall but the rooms, bedding, amenities, breakfast and overall facilities are definitely better at a similar cost. It all depends on what you are looking for in a place to stay.

Spent 3 days at the Ye Kendall Inn in Boerne (pronounced like Bernie) Texas. The hotel was built around 1859 and has lots of history. Wall are constructed of 20 inch thick limestone blocks. A nice little creek runs by the hotel. There are 36 rooms and cottages on over 5 acres of beautiful rolling hills.

Our room was on the second floor of the original building - there is no elevator available, so had to drag the bags up the stairs. The room was quaint, but I wouldn't recommend these rooms - no controls for the air conditioner/heater, toilet and bathtub/shower shared the same room as the bed. Although there wasn't much traffic in the lobby on the first floor, the sound traveled up the open stairway and straight into our bedroom. Not very loud, but still distracting.

The cottages are something else! One is an old school house, another is an old clapboard church, a log cabin, etc. Really neat. A very relaxing setting in a beautiful little, but growing, town in one of the prettiest parts of Texas. Boerne is about 45 minutes away from San Antonio.

Only had two meals there but they were great. I don't know what the dessert was, but it was super delicious.

The rates were a little high, I thought, for our room, but I wouldn't hesitate to sleep in one of the cottages.

Ye Kendall Inn was my choice based upon its history and the photos of a L-o-n-g relaxing veranda on the second floor, and it certainly lived up to the photos. In late May, the veranda was deserted in the early mornings and I could drink my coffee and watch the birds try to build nests atop the columns. So peaceful, despite the hot Texas breeze! I learned (after choosing it) that it was the site where the wedding party of Miranda Lambert and Brook Shelton stayed during the event. How cool is that! If you're heading for Boerne and the Hill Country, you can't go wrong with the Kendall, especially if you prefer charm, personality and character to glass, chrome and plastic!
