### Antelope Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"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."

### Darkest sky in West Texas and the gateway to Big Bend National Park 

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this unique and quirky little place and wish we could’ve stayed longer. The sunset and stars and the windmill from the viewing deck were the cherry on top. We will be back next time we travel to Big Bend!"

### The Maverick Inn

6/10 Okay

"Door was not easy to lock with doorknob lock and that was an issue since there was no deadbolt. No person at location for check in. It took a trip across town to get a room key from the desk guy of another hotel. Rustic is the vibe they were shooting for, but I would just call the overall condition old and tired. Expedia would not let me post the picture I took of the chair in the room that looked more like a refugee from a landfill that a piece of hotel furniture."
