Stayed here for two nights to hike Guadalupe Peak. Hotel was great with a cool historic vibe. Customer service was the best I have ever had at a hotel . The bar and restaraunt were fun as well. The only two things wrong with the trip were not the Hotels fault. 1. The train is close and goes by a couple of times a night. 2. One of the patrons had a dog that kept barking .

Wonderful!

Our room was very comfortable, but its location at the front of the hotel & adjacent to the road was very loud with traffic noise AND a frequent train. A different location would probably have been better. Otherwise, the experience was excellent and the hotel is charming.

Charming small hotel with a lovely little courtyard and period furniture. Friendly service. Small but clean rooms with tiny bathrooms. A/C blows directly on the bed, which is otherwise quite comfy. The restaurant was mediocre with friendly but poor service.
