Thanks for taking a moment to review us, Peter. These hundred-year old hotels do have some odd floor plans, but that's also part of the charm!

Noisy. Very noisy. Many of the rooms face the highway, about 15 feet away. Despite the small size of town, the US highway running by so close creates a lot of noise...the sound of the car and truck engines, loud stereos...There also are train tracks close by. The train came thru town overnight and blew its horn incessantly (probably many road crossings in the area). Wow! loud. They give you earplugs, not very useful, unless you are used to sleeping in bed with foam earplugs. ...Room and property had a nice western feel. ..Checking in occurred at another hotel elsewhere in town, which, while not awful, was inconvenient.

Thank you for your feedback, Scott. We are prepping for a renovation in the near future and the noise will be mitigated some through that.

I arrived to find out that my payment to you was not forwarded to the hotel and had to pay the full price. I was not notified of this until I checked in. It would have been nice to have been aware of the situation.

We are sorry to hear about that as it is certainly frustrating. We are not provided your contact information when booking through an online travel agency such as this, however. Please let us know if you need our help sorting this issue out.

The room was not as described and unsafe. The bathroom had no grab bars in the shower/tub. The bed was against a window without a headboard and was so close to the bathroom that you could hardly open the door. The TV was too far from the bed to be useful and the only chair was old and decrepit. It was so unacceptable that we forfeited our second night and LEFT to stay at another Alpine motel.

Th Maverick is the pplace to stay for western flavor or experience. It is an established and most everything shows that it has been well used over time. But clean and well mantained. It feels like West Texas.

I love this property for its unique qualities in the region: historical preservation of the area's first campground, a very nice swimming pool, easy access to the main parts of town, great pet-friendly place with a nice yard for them, and the commitment of owners to the preservation of the region. Authentic little spot across from Sul Ross.

Excellent place to feel at home.
Great stay, the history and rustic charm drips off of this old backdrop of Hollywood movie films with John Wayne which we just love. Room was good just needs a coffee station and a better check in process. The hustle and bustle from one place to the next is inconvenient; probably easier to have self check in with key pads honestly. Especially since all of the security checks of ID photo requirements and etc before hand is required.

This place was so bad we had to get another room elsewhere. The room was nothing like it was advertised. I was very disappointed and not happy! It was very small, cold, tiny bathroom and no plugs for recharging items. There was no one in charge there. Parking was very tiny. No coffee in room. Shall I say more? There was a gap under the door so critters could get in!!

I would have given the maverick inn 5 stars except for 2 things. We actually had to check in and get the key at a sister Hotel downtown. No issue with doing that but it was not mentioned in our Expedia confirmation. We ran into a worker there who explained it. The other issue was a very noisy air conditioner. There were earplugs on the nightstand which should have been the first clue. Finally We shut off the AC and opened the windows instead. Otherwise lovely place, lots of personality and great pool with astroturf pool deck.

There was no one at the property for check in. Had to drive to another hotel for check in and key pickup. The property was pretty worn out, the lighting was dark and the bath towels were small and thin. Way overpriced for what we received. At checkout the next day, there still was no one at the office and no place for a key drop off. Had to go back to the other hotel again to drop off the key. Would not stay here again.

This is really cute and well maintained motel with a southwestern theme. The lobby was unmanned so we had to go to another hotel to check in and pick up our key. Also on one of the days of our stay I left my pjs folded on the bed and the cleaning staff left a note to say they could not make the bed due to personal articles on the bed. That seemed a little strange, but they did generally do a great job cleaning. Overall a good experience. Cute pool - we spent several evenings there. I would stay there again!

It was very nice and clean had no issues with staff or cleanness It could use an up dated A/C unit and shower head hose leaked pretty bad creating very pour water pressure in the shower. Other than that no issues at all would recommend to a friend or family. I will stay again if in the area !! And if had not been a 112 degrees the day I was there A/C might have been just fine. The shower is a simple fix.

Could be a cute stay but we had two issues why we rated it the way we did. First it was nice to have a ceiling fan over the bed but if you turned out the light in the sitting area the fan turned off. We had to sleep with the light on. Second issue is the shower is too tight and there is no adjustment to the shower head. It would spray straight into the face at an angle.
Stayed 1 night in May 2023
Response from Michelle on May 4, 2023
We're so sorry for the problems in your room, Ruth. The ceiling fan does have a pull-chain to control the light without shutting down the fan. The showers in the original building are incredibly small, we're hopeful to renovate them to a larger standard in the future. In the meantime, we do recommend contacting our front desk so that we can find a room with a larger shower to accommodate your needs; all of our rooms are different and many do have larger bath areas.

Great location and easy access. Very easy check in and out. However the mattress in our room was awful and made for very poor sleep. You could feel every spring and it squeaked very loud anytime one of us moved. The shower also still had someone else’s bar of soap in it when we arrived.

UNSAFE! Bathroom had holes drilled in one tile above the toilet (it was not a ceiling fan). Heater does not work. Bedsheets had stains on them. Shower was moldy & stained.

Response from Property Manager on Jan 31, 2023
Good morning, Galit. First, I am so sorry that you felt unsafe here at the Maverick. We do everything we can to ensure that our guests feel safe and welcome here with us, including an after hours number that guests can call in any case. Second, I'd like to touch on the issues with the room you were set to stay in last night. I was able to go into the room and inspect on all of these report. However, I walked into a very toasty room with the heat set at 86 degrees. The bedsheets were not stained, nor was the shower curtain. I did take pictures of all of these key complaint areas, and did not find any of the issues you have claimed here. The holes drilled into the tile is inexplicable even to me, I'll be asking previous management as well as the crew that recently revamped the plumbing about what that whole deal is about. I do apologize for that, that is honestly bewildering even to me.
