Marble Falls, TX Hampton Inn on the Lake: has just completed a $250,000 renovation of its public and guest bathrooms. General Manager, Pauline Ramirez of Lodging Host, the hotel management company, commented “The marble counter tops, wood vanities, new tile floors and new lighting fixtures give the bathrooms a wonderful spa-like feel.” Guests give the bathrooms rave reviews. The bathroom renovation is part of a continuing capital investment program begun in October of 2005 when Rocky Reese and Live Oak Lodging purchased the hotel. At that time, all the public area furniture and much of the guestroom furniture was upgraded. Last year, landscaping was improved along with a permanent pool canopy. “Each off-season we try to upgrade our product to keep it fresh and the best value in the market,” Mr. Reese said. So far, Live Oak Lodging has invested almost $500,000 in upgrading the Hampton Inn on the Lake. Live Oak Lodging also owns and operates the 78- room boutique hotel, The Lighthouse Inn at Aransas Bayin Rockport. With the lake as a backdrop, Hampton Inn on the Lake is a relaxing way to spend a few days. For more information or to make reservations log on to www.marblefallshotel.com or call 830-798-1895.
