It was a decent place. They definitely could improve there rooms with better lighting and some updating. Overall it was a safe inexpensive place to stay when in the area.
Old courtyard style motel. Room was very basic and small, but comfortable bed. Single level with parking right next door. No one above you, so very quiet at night. Had slight problem checking in but the woman at the end of the phone was very helpful and got me in immediately. Definitely a good value for the price. Loved the quaint courtyard to relax and read a book. Could base for Big Bend.
My room with private bath and kitchenette was very nicely decorated and clean. These are older structures which is part of their charm. This is West Texas after all. A/C and heating unit kept the interior very comfortable. Some days were hot, some cold during my visit. I was able to prepare microwave food items and keep fruits and vegetables fresh in the little fridge. Amenities include great ground coffee, dish soap and sponge, ice bucket and bathroom toiletries. Pillows have dust mite covers which I really appreciate. Bed was comfortable and there was a cute little dining table and chairs. Great pricing on Expedia for my six night stay.

Room was clean, bed was comfortable. The heating/cooling is a bit noisy. Outside the room would benefit from some better walkways as it was very easy to pick up thorns in your shoes.

Sweet spot with games and a record player in the communal kitchen. Everything you could need and you can tell the staff want you to have a good time.

Room was old, but functional. The blinds were all broken. Bed was comfortable
This property was opened in 1950 (says so on the sign) and it is a vintage property. Don't expect all the perks that you get at a chain hotel. The room was very clean. There is a small (no vanity or bathtub) bathroom, a little kitchen area with a sink, small fridge and microwave, and coffee/coffee maker. TV worked fine, there was a small table and 2 chairs in the room. Bed was comfortable. The air conditioning worked well, and parking was right outside the door. Staff was not always in the office; we had a small issue and just ended up telling the person in the office about it as we left (the sign said "closed" but there was a vehicle parked in front so I went in). We would stay here again. It costs much less than the chain hotels in town. If you just want somewhere to sleep/shower and have a cup of coffee it's great.
Room was cozy and clean; just had to wait for the key at 6pm, as wasn't left in lock box

Nice pet-friendly spot and close to dining options in Alpine. We enjoyed a two night stay. I cannot rate staff as we never encountered a staff member. We used a lock box to access and return our room key. It’s about an hour and 45 minutes to the heart of Big Bend National Park, but the drive is lovely. Our only issue was that the shower did not work on our second day; it worked just fine our first morning there. If you are like fancy digs, this is not the place for you but, overall, we truly enjoyed our stay.

Appreciate walking into the smell of clean. Cute concept with the vintage vibe. Beds are super comfy . You have hot shower amd a new working heat and AC system. All the important things to make a cozy stay. Understand when you rent that these are old and primitive buildings , but have everything you need to sleep cozy. Also, bring house shoes and leave your shoes at the door to avoid tracking in devil thorns . This just comes with TX visits.
I started staying at the Lodge 10 years ago. Once a year my ex and I would ride our Harley for our anniversary weekend and stay at the Antelope Lodge with excitement. We loved how they use to keep the property clean, rooms very nice with a very relaxing atmosphere. Apparently since I last stayed there, over five years ago, the property has changed ownership a few times. It has gone down hill unfortunately. About the only thing I can that was pleasant was the bed. It was very comfortable, but we had been riding our motorcycle all day, so I’m sure we could have slept on the ground just as easily.
The outside had lost its visible caricature for the most part. The landscape is very dry and full of goat head stickers. Yah, they suck as bad as they sound. The TV didn’t work so we wound down by watching TV off my iPhone. The floor, well, since they pulled up whatever was down, carpet or tile, it was not very clean feeling for sure.
Other than that, it still is a quiet place to stay and I love the nostalgic atmosphere and history.
With this said, next year we won’t be staying there unless they make changes. Hope they don’t go out of business and close. Seems they may be heading that direction.
Absolutely loved my stay here! If you are looking for a 5 star hotel then this is not your place. If you are looking for a retro, clean room with hot water and a/c then look no futher. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable.
