It's a nice looking old hotel located in front of the Alpine train station. We stayed two nights (Friday and Saturday) and expected some flaws but the train horn (Friday only) and AC noise were so loud. Ear plugs are left in the room for the guests but they don't help very much. Also, the walls are thin. If you are light sleeper, I wouldn't recommend.

Our room (220) had layers of dust beneath the bed. In addition there was lots of debris from previous inhabitants behind the chest of drawers. I have complained to the guy at reception. In addition I have written to the department of Public Health and Sanitation. On a positive note we found the Central bar to be excellent. The staff there, especially the guy, were efficient and welcoming. The food was also very good.

Upon entering our room in the evening, we noticed the coffee pot had not been cleaned and we didn't have Kleenex or a clock. The bathroom and sink counter were very small. The next morning in the breakfast room, we found yesterday's coffee and a few apples, oranges and cereal bars. Two days later when we returned to our room, the beds were unmade, and we didn't have any large bath towels. The other towels had been replaced so we knew someone had been in our room. Again, the coffee pot was not cleaned of used grinds, and nothing had been cleaned or vacuumed. Due to the loud trains at night neither our friends nor ourselves slept much. The lobby has potential to be interesting, but instead has dreary, not well-maintained furniture, and many damaged floor tiles.

It's nice to find hotels that have history and character. This hotel is nicely kept and rooms are comfortable and seemed very clean. Internet is really slow. Artwork is an eclectic mixture of artwork and posters. We'd come back again.

A classic hotel next to the train tracks in Alpine Texas. They provide earplugs for sleeping. Nice lobby. BUT, mold in the bath tub area. No Kleenex box. Room heater makes a lot of racket. Bedside lamps needed plugging in. But the worst part was the hotel’s restaurant. The server was courteous BUT they only had the bar menu available with 8 items and two were sold out because they did not order enough food. The wine by the glass was not fresh. I love staying at classic hotels, but this one is a loser.

Love the historic feel of this hotel, especially that it was decorated in Harry Potter theme for their upcoming Halloween dinner. That was kind of fun. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. We would love to have stayed longer to enjoy the property and walk around the historic town a bit more. We did hear the trains go by but once we fell asleep, did not notice them at all. I read the reviews before staying here, and took note of the fact that they provide ear plugs for good reason, but the noise did not seem to affect our sleep at all. The morning coffee was great! But that was about it in terms of breakfast although there were several packaged items available. We couldn’t find any cafés or restaurants open nearby even by 9am, so we left hungry. The reception desk staff were very welcoming and accommodating, but if you have to interface with an actual person, you need to plan around the hours of 8a -8p as stated in their hotel description.…

We stayed at Holland the last night of our vacation. The interior of the hotel is beautiful. It was not busy for Friday. We had a room with a king bed and jacuzzi for two. I asked to make sure that two people can fit in this tub. The can if they are not tall and sit Cross legged. The air conditioner is above your head and blows on your face as you sleep. They give you ear plugs on the dresser. I have never stayed at a hotel that has ear plugs for it’s customers. I asked our waiter about this and he didn’t know. The carpet needs to be cleaned there are stains in it. The hotel staff are very helpful at check in. They have coffee at 8 am on Sat morning in lobby and some fruits to grab and go. The hotel is really nice overall . The rooms are in need of some loving. The resturant is wonderful. The ribeye was worth it. It was very tender and flavorful.…

I checked out this hotel here and other places and was stunned by the difference between my room and the photos posted on their website. Instead of the nice room shown, I was greeted by a room with old, worn and stained carpets. The bed was lumpy and had two dips where the foam was worn flat. The bathroom was very tired with the tub showing several layers of refinish attempts and too creepy to use. But the real clue that this was going to be bad were two sets of earplugs on the dresser. Then the trains came - so loud that I couldn't sleep more than a few hours at a time. No soundproofing at all. I cannot recommend this hotel. Very historic doesn't cut the mustard. Go to a more modern hotel of which there are several.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback, and we are so sorry to hear that your stay was not as you had expected. We do our best to preserve the history of our historic property and understand that sometimes that may not live up to expectations of those used to the more modern look. In regards to the train, the origin of the Tri-County area was build around the railroad back in the day to accommodate workers, and since then the towns have continued to build around them. Again, we understand that this can be quite a shock to those not used to the nightly run of the trains through town, but we do provide ear plugs in the rooms for the lighter sleepers. We hope you give us another opportunity to show you just how great we can be and look forward to making it up to you upon your return. Safe travels. Best regards,

Staying at this older hotel in the Big Bend area had been on our bucket list for several years. We did not sleep well, not the train, but a loud group of people talking and laughing late into the night. You know you are in trouble when the hotel leaves ear plugs by the side of your bed. No one at check in desk after 5. I am VERY pro Covid precautions, but when everyone checking in, you need some assistance: where the heck is your room!! I think the hotel is overpriced. The hotel is in need of renovations. ON THE POSITIVE SIDE The bed was very comfortable. We had plenty of elbow room in the suite, although the TV was too small. And the adjoining restaurant saved the visit. Nice bar and a very nice dinner with a very pleasant server (she was the only one wearing a mask!!.)

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback. We are saddened to hear that your stay was not as expected. This is certainly not what we want our guests to experience when staying with us. The ear plugs are provided for the train that comes through town at night, as the station is located right across the street within walking distance. Due to COVID-19 and the massive labor shortage we are only offering a self check-in service to our guests at this time. There is a number posted both in your brochure and there at the front desk for after hours assistance. Since we are a boutique hotel we understand that some of our décor may not be preferable to some, however we do our very best to preserve the history of these older properties. Again, we appreciate your feedback and hope you offer us another opportunity to show you just how great we can be. Safe travels. Best regards,

We stayed here one night on the way to Big Bend. As an historic hotel, I didn't realize until later in our trip how important (and appreciated) the elevator would be! All the other famous hotels in the area have staircases of varying heights that are a real challenge with a heavy suitcase. The public areas of this hotel, including the interior courtyard, were charming. And the bar facing the street was clearly a popular spot. However, do NOT order the jalapeno margarita with cranberry juice. My husband thought it was insipid - and he even ate the jalapeno! The food, however, was excellent, especially the rigatoni and the chicken fried steak (which wasn't huge). Our room was on the side of the building - I think - but I couldn't really tell because the large windows were frosted on the bottom so we couldn't see out, making the room slightly claustrophobic. The worst thing was the dirty carpet, which made the whole room seem dirty. The bed and the shower were good, there was a sofa to watch the TV (another amenity not offered in all historic hotels), but the dimly lit room just seemed sad and dirty. There was a refrigerator, but it wasn't plugged in and had water collecting inside. And, strangely, because there is no phone in the room and the front desk is only manned from 8-4, the informational sheet that they give you at check-in just says "in case of emergency, call the number displayed at the front desk." So if you have an emergency in the middle of the night, you have to run downstairs to get the phone number? Not a great idea.…

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback, and we are saddened to hear your visit was not what you had hoped for. I will look into the margarita recipe and relay your comments to my head chef. Our Jalapeno Margarita is one of our most popular cocktails and we certainly don't want your experience to be the experience our guests have when trying one. Due to high beef prices we have had a slight inflation on some of our beef products which might have been the reason there was a misunderstanding in the price and expectation. Again, this is not the experience we want our guests to have and we give our sympathies for this experience. Unfortunately the second floor windows on the back side of the property look out onto the roof which is filled with air conditioning units and equipment. Perhaps next time we can interest you in a room on the front side of the property overlooking the Amtrak station? Our property is a historic property and we do our very best to maintain and look after all features of building including flooring and amenities. The cleanliness of the room however does not sound like our standard and I will certainly bring this up to our Housekeeping supervisor. In regards to the on call phone, there is a copy of the emergency number in your welcome brochure so guests don't have to make extra trips down stairs. We appreciate the feedback and hope to make it up to you again in the near future. Safe travels! Regards,
