New Braunfels sits where the Hill Country meets the Guadalupe and Comal rivers, a German-founded town famous for tubing, the historic Gruene district, and a giant water park. The Best Western Inn & Suites makes a comfortable base in New Braunfels, Texas, close to the rivers, Gruene Hall, the outlet malls, and an easy drive to San Antonio and Austin.
Tubers and families find an easy place to land here, with comfortable rooms that each carry a flat-screen TV, microwave, and refrigerator. A free breakfast opens the morning, free parking sits right outside, and the pool is there after a day on the river. Gruene Hall, the oldest dance hall in Texas, still hosts live music in the historic district just up the road. Schlitterbahn, a sprawling waterpark on the Comal, has cooled off New Braunfels summers for decades.
Rivers and tubing, Gruene's dance hall, and two big cities all sit within reach. Settle in and let the Hill Country set the pace.
