Edelweiss Inn New Braunfels

The Owner Mr K is a stellar human being. The reviews on here are so saddening because he really is a wonderful man, who does the most with what he is given. He offers shelter for those who need it the most, many who are quite bitter and ungrateful for the exceeding amount that he gives to them, too. There’s so much more than meets the eye…a lot of behind the scenes work that he does will organizations too. He does it all by himself, with the work of maybe one other loyal employee, and he works wonders with the hell that is thrown at him week to week. I don’t say that lightly, think of the worst thing you could walk in on, every single morning, if you owned a place like he does. The most undeserving people, in most accounts, he gives endless second chances to. He is the example of what it means to be forgiving and generous, and caring, and compassionate. One of the most patient people I have ever come across. The scariest and most hopeless seeming people, that’s who leans into. He continues to give all that he has in complete humbleness and generosity to those that are struggling in the community, and is even seen as a type of Father figure it seems to a lot of the people that frequent his establishment, even if they fail to see it. He works tirelessly day in and day out to provide for people, and he deserves so much more help than he has. He really does all he can to flip the place around, with the constant terror that is added to his daily life. He is fearless, and faced every obstacle with his head held high, with constant opposition. Multiple rooms are trashed to despair within a night, and he BY HIMSELF(and Julie the beautiful Angel) finds a way to repair it all with the blink of an eye. His hospitality and kindness is so abused, and as painful as it is to see, I respect him so much as a person, for the heart that he has, and the will that he has to keep on giving. He had a beautiful lobby, magical even, and is very willing to offer any needed services to those who ask. He is a person who has The Lord in and around him, regardless who is able to feel that presence. My first encounter with him, involved Christ, and from then on, no matter what I was lacking—in the short amount of time I knew this man—he struck me with awe, and it will stick with me for my entire life.

The tv was nice and had cable; the a/c worked well in the 100 degree weather; the sheets were clean, but stained; there was enough hot water. HOWEVER! The furniture was upholstered and stained. There was a huge dark stain dripping down the white brick wall. Plastic lampshade was melted and cracked and still was wrapped in cellophane. A hair dryer was listed in amenities, but there wasn't one in the room. The bathroom ceiling was moldy.
