Alpine Konaklamanızı Bulun

We stayed here for 3 nights while visiting Big Bend NP. We went down to the park 2 days which is 1 1/2 to 2 hours drive away. Located at the east end of town on US 90. We had a NS, King suite with separate living area, couch, coffee table, TV. Bathroom separated the bedroom area (no door separating bedroom). Desk and chair as well as easy chair and ottoman in this area as well as second TV. Room was very large and nicely laid out. Bathroom was fine. There was a safe in the closet. Everything was clean and well presented. Staff were very helpful and corrected a couple of small issues in the room. I would have given this a 5 rating but the TV in the living area did not work and the staff could not fix it. It didn't have a cable box and they didn't have any. We had a room on the highway side and there was some road noise. Mostly drowned out by AC and fan. Room was pricy but to be fair it was also comparable to other properties in town. And its the only place close to the park. No restaurants within walking distance except Pizza Hut. We enjoyed our stay here and would stay again if we ever come back to the park.

If you're a fussy person that likes to spend hundreds per night on lodging stop reading this now. However, if you are a person that needs a room in Alpine without having to sell your children into slavery to afford it, keep reading. The Value Lodge in Alpine, Texas is basic lodging, not a 5-star resort or a chic 'boutique' hotel. There are no illusions of grandeur at The Value Lodge. This is the real pookie! They have AC and heating that works. They have fridges and microwaves. They have showers and hot water. They have TV's and satellite feed programming... with various Aux inputs for my Roku!. They have workable WiFi. They have VERY clean beds and a place to sit down and get something done. I was pleasantly surprised how clean the linens and mattress were. I stayed three nights and never saw a bug or any sort of critter inside or out. (I did see the big Saturn and Jupiter conjunction!) I travel to Alpine a lot and was getting tired of having my posterior perforation dilated by some of the more upscale motels in town. Ever since the Antelope Lodge changed hands they have gotten too expensive and snooty for my blood. No doubt, be prepared, this motel is older. I can personally remember staying here for a few days in March of 1986 after having my 'boo-tee' totally kicked while overnight backpacking at Guadalupe Peak. I did see Halley's comet from the highest point in Texas that trip and serious backpacker style points were awarded because it snowed... both nights. My booty was most righteously kicked. Along the way we were forced to eat Brave Sir Robin's minstrel... and there was much rejoicing! Woot! Not to sound too much like an old geezer, but back in those days this motel had a pool, restaurant on site and ultra cool vintage western latigo furniture in the rooms. (Ah, the good old days!) These days this motel fills the bill for an 'older guy' that travels to Alpine regularly to handle business, not to drink $15.00 margaritas in the shade, brag about my new Oboz I just got at REI in Austin or to go see those danged aluminum boxes in Marfa. (I wonder if they buried Judd in one of those? Would be sort of fitting, dontcha think?) So, if you are picky, and like places that feature hand towels folded into animal shapes and citrus flavored water in the lobby, this ain't your place. Drive a bit further and stay at the Maverick Inn for twice as much. But if like me, you just need a place to stay with the aforementioned basic amenities, The Value Lodge is most assuredly your huckleberry! Things to consider bringing: *A single serve pod coffee maker. *A power strip with a long cord. *Folding lawn chair *COVID sanitizing wipes *Roku or Firestick *A LED construction light I was not paid or compensated in any way by The Value Lodge to write this review. I am a real person and I approved this message by writing it.

Travelling in this time where Covid is rampant - our number one priority is safety and we felt this hotel did its part. Face masks were required, there were available sanitizers, reminders to keep distance where there, room service was only by request and breakfast was grab and go only. We made this as the base for our Big Bend exploration and it fit the bill for the budget that we have. It is still a good 2 hours to the Big Bend spots though, so make note of that (4 hour round trip each day + the driving hours inside Big Bend). Unless you stay at Big Bend itself, this would be the way to go. We would leave early and arrive late so we were here really just to sleep. Wifi was strong, they had a ref and microwave which was important to us as we brought our own food to lessen going around/exposure and they had extra USB charging ports. The only caveat I can say is that the room we were in had a connecting door and we can hear the people in the other room. Good thing they knew to keep quiet. Otherwise, the bed and pillows were comfortable and we slept soundly every night, which was badly needed after all the driving and hiking during the day.

Just right. It looks like a typical Hampton Inn. The grounds are well kept. The location is outside town. No road noise. There is a restaurant within a block. Everything else is downtown a few miles away. The lobby is large and clean. The desk clerk was friendly and helpful. His chocolate chip cookies were good and gooey. The room was large with a large TV. It was clean. The mattress was a bit soft but comfortable. All four pillows were larger than I like. The breakfast was excellent, well stocked with some extras. The fitness room was smallish but had all the needed equipment. The business center is in a separate room with privacy. The price at an all in amount of $175 was better than most places these days.
