Marathon Residences

"Not as advertised. Property and room not well maintained. A lot of water on bathroom floor, musty smell. Difficult to get in touch with manager. Manager did offer a different room, but the smell was even worse. Manager did cancel reservation and offered refund. Went elsewhere for lodging."

"The hotel is in complete disrepair. My room was clean but had holes in the walls, a door lock that barely functioned and would fall off if hit reasonably hard I never had maid service in the 5 days I was there. The woman at the front desk did not speak English and I don’t think she spoke Spanish either. It took the second day to figure out the plumbing was reversed, the hot water was on the right side in the shower instead of the left. I will not be staying there again. Fortunately my time in the Alpine area and Big Bend kept me busy and the time at the hotel was minimal. "

"Great staff. Room exceptionally clean. Good size fridge, microwave like new. Room a/c worked great. My only 2 recommendations for this place is maybe get a waffle maker for breakfast as there is nothing hot. Yougurt, cereal, fruit, toast are your choices with hard-boiled eggs. And the size of the tv is way to small for Room. Beds were very comfortable. "

"It was very comfortable and safe."

"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!"

"Welcoming and kind host. You cannot get any closer to Big Bend."

"Great time!"

"Amazing stay "

"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."
