The outdoor pool was moldy and dirty. Since the temperature was about 90 F, we expected the pool to be ready for use. The breakfast was somewhat disappointing since it was just waffles and boiled eggs. However, we would still recommend Whispering Palms but the owners could improve the two issues described above.

I was really hoping to be greeted by a dog but instead there was a young lady dressed sort of inappropriately with some sort of black leather bra and jeans. I thought it was weird but she checked me in and handed me a key. Not much for customer service but the key worked and I got into my room without issue. I like this place. I'm a huge fan of the entrance, the parking lot and being able to park right in front of my room. The AC works great, no bed bugs, good cable and wifi and a very firm mattress. Would be nice if the desk had a lamp. The shower needs new tile/grout. Ew! Moldy edges. Overall, worth the nightly rate. I'd definitely come back. It appears that the owner really cares about this property and is actively engaged in making it a successful business.

We were a little concerned about the parking because we had a large truck and trailer. The staff was so accomodating to help us get it situated so we didn't have to park it elsewhere.

I recently stayed at Whispering Palms and wanted to share my experience. The staff at the hotel was always friendly and courteous, which made my stay pleasant. However, I did encounter some maintenance issues in the room I was assigned. Firstly, the bathroom lacked a toilet lid , which was quite inconvenient. Additionally, the shower water temperature was difficult to control as it only came out very hot and didn't have a cold water option. This made showering uncomfortable at times. Moreover, I noticed that the bathroom door had a hole in it, which was quite surprising and gave an overall impression of poor maintenance. In addition, there was a non-functional lightbulb in the room lamps, which affected the overall lighting. Lastly, I encountered a few bugs, including mosquitoes, in the room. This was an unpleasant surprise and made it difficult to have a comfortable and peaceful stay. While the staff's friendliness was appreciated, I feel that the maintenance issues I encountered should be addressed to enhance the overall guest experience. I hope that the hotel management takes note of these concerns and takes steps to improve the maintenance standards in the future. Despite the mentioned issues, I would like to commend the hotel staff once again for their exceptional service. I hope that my feedback helps in improving the overall guest experience at whispering palms.

The front desk attendants/owner was super friendly. The building in general is old but so clean inside and out. It looks very well kept up. Hot water with good water pressure is a plus. For this price and location I would definitely recommend this hotel to others who are looking for accommodations while in Del Rio. I know under this management I will b back.

The rooms did not smell like cigarette smoke. It was a very quite place at night even with all the rooms that were rented. I couldn't hear the neighbors at all. Overall it was a great experience and if im ever down in that area again i will for sure be staying there.

This was a quick 1 night stay during a road trip. Staff was very friendly, room was clean and comfortable. Room was a bit small if it's more than 1 person for more than 1 night. The included breakfast was a bit lacking but was fine for 1 day. The price was right and we would definitely stay again if we were passing through the area again.

Outstanding location and curb appeal. Interiors need to have some work as the rooms are stale, lack amenities, and lack basic room features. Feature needed, in-room coffee machine, ironing board, improved soap and towel quality. Different floors, laminate vs. old carpet, improved bath towels, soap, and bed linens quality should be sufficient to improve the quality of the stay and upgrade the experience.

This is a cool, independently-owned property with character. I stayed for one night on the way to Big Bend, and it was perfect for that. The room is basic and includes a mini-fridge. The breakfast was simple (oatmeal, yogurt cups, and bananas with coffee). The real treat though is a conversation with the owners (Ravi and his wife). They chatted with me over breakfast and really made the stay memorable.

I had a multi-night stay in Del Rio, and I decided to try the Whispering Palms because it had good reviews. It met my needs. The only negative was that the air conditioner was pretty good, but not great. I like it really cold when I sleep, and it didn't quite get there. But I realize I like it colder than most people, and it was comfortable enough, so this was at least as much about my personal preferences as the condition of the A/C. The staff was very friendly, and the owners were, too! Bob and Joty made sure I was having a good stay, and they've got a great dog who loves to get her ears scratched. There's also a bird named Larry in the lobby who is entertaining. You can buy water or soft drinks in the lobby, and the proceeds go to an orphanage in Acuna, Mexico, that the owners support. I loved that. I plan to book this hotel again when I am back in Del Rio. Thanks for a great stay!

The room was good for the price I paid. The remote control wasn't working properly but I didn't feel like walking over to the office to report it (I did let the front desk know when I checked out). I was given a room right at the base of the stairs and next to the pool, which would have been a problem if the hotel had been busier.

The air conditioning in Room 110 did not cool, it was only in the 70s but the room stayed hot all night. The Mattress was horrible like sleeping on the floor. I feel there are better options in Del Rio.

Patricio checked us in at night, and was very nice. He introduced us to the resident parrot and dog. In the morning, Edith was wonderful. Both my friend and I are environmentalists and saw the styrophom cups and bowls, along with plastic cutlery. We travel with washable/reusable eating sets. She heard us and came in with washable mugs, spoons, and bowls. We were so appreciative!

Stay was excellent. Location was a quarter mile from several food options including a steakhouse. I went for the steak. The only complaint was the hairdryer was not operative and no one answered door at office for replacement dryer.

Friendly staff (and the sweetest doggy at reception), lots of food options nearby, quiet and spacious room. Could use a bit of renovation here and there as it is an older building, but overall nice stay for a nignt.

People are friendly, it’s very clean. On the main road and near food and other things. I would like it better if it were possible to open the window.

The hotel is located in an area with lots of restaurants. The woman at the front desk was very friendly and gave us a great room. The room was spacious and clean. We weren’t there much but it met our needs perfectly. If we ever go to Del Rio again, we would stay there.

This was a quick 1 night stay during a road trip. Staff was very friendly, room was clean and comfortable. Room was a bit small if it's more than 1 person for more than 1 night. The included breakfast was a bit lacking but was fine for 1 day. The price was right and we would definitely stay again if we were passing through the area again.

The outdoor pool was moldy and dirty. Since the temperature was about 90 F, we expected the pool to be ready for use. The breakfast was somewhat disappointing since it was just waffles and boiled eggs. However, we would still recommend Whispering Palms but the owners could improve the two issues described above.

This is a cool, independently-owned property with character. I stayed for one night on the way to Big Bend, and it was perfect for that. The room is basic and includes a mini-fridge. The breakfast was simple (oatmeal, yogurt cups, and bananas with coffee). The real treat though is a conversation with the owners (Ravi and his wife). They chatted with me over breakfast and really made the stay memorable.

Patricio checked us in at night, and was very nice. He introduced us to the resident parrot and dog. In the morning, Edith was wonderful. Both my friend and I are environmentalists and saw the styrophom cups and bowls, along with plastic cutlery. We travel with washable/reusable eating sets. She heard us and came in with washable mugs, spoons, and bowls. We were so appreciative!

This was a very clean, convenient, and comfortable place to stay in the middle of Del Rio. If you are going through there and need an affordable place to stay, this is the place. Owners are very friendly as well.
