Hotel Limpia

Yes, yet another historic hotel lovingly preserved. Thank Goodness this place hasn't been torn down. Not many of these remain. Ft Davis is a historic army post created to protect travelers along the San Antonio to El Passo Trail.This little spec of a town is well preserved. Being the county seat there is a courthouse,hotel,bank and library not unlike what you may have found back in the day.The hotel is simple and as close to the original s you will find anywhere.Check it out. You wont be sorry.

The hotel itself is cute enough in a shabby chic sort of way. It's set up old boarding house style. Two floors, no elevator. Customer service was terrible. The front desk clerk sat there and watched as my 9 year old daughter and myself lugged our luggage to the second floor. Not to mention, we couldn't even find him for 15 minutes when we wanted to check in. It's not exactly boutique chic. The mattress is as hard as a rock. There are no ac controls in the rooms. For an 1900s hotel experience, I wouldn't expect the price I paid but I guess they can charge a premium because hotel rooms are scarce here. Just know... it's not a luxury boutique by any stretch of the imagination and the service leaves a lot to be desired.

Super friendly and helpful staff Stay here and enjoy Fort Davis area hospitality ......

We stayed at the Hotel Limpia for 5 nights to explore the surrounding area and visit Big Bend Ranch State Park and Big Bend National Park. One of the reasons we chose this hotel, other than the fact it was a restored historic hotel, was because we could have our dog with us. Another reason was because my husband was told that several places offered breakfast and there was a coffee shop onsite (with espresso). We actually stayed in a long, low building behind the hotel with rooms that is probably as old as the hotel, called the Orchard House, instead of in the main hotel. Here are my thoughts:1. We underestimated how much there would be to see and enjoy in Ft. Davis or some of the other small towns in this area. These towns have all dwindled to tiny with only fewer than 10 shops and restaurants in all each.2. The 'options' for breakfast were: the drugstore across the street, but only on weekends and the 3 food items for carry out from the market down the street. The coffee shop had a couple of pastries as well.3. The coffee shop was closed on Monday and Tuesday, half of our stay in town.4. The hotel: it was historic, it was old, but restored? um, no, not really. Everything in our room sloped. The bathroom was at least 50 years old and had not been updated very often, maybe band-aided a few times. The kitchen was also old and tired. I suspect that the main building fared better.From reviewing some of the older photos others have posted, it looks like there used to be a few more options for food in Ft. Davis years ago, and the hotel also used to offer coffee in the lobby previously. They no longer provide brewed coffee in the lobby; they have small bottles of water and a couple of snack bars.

Great hotel in Ft Davis! Classic old hotel with unique bedrooms and public spaces! Convenient to downtown and the Blue Mountain restaurant. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice 2 bedroom suite with kitchen. Can't wait to go back!

I love me a funky old hotel. They are gems that should be cherished and enjoyed. This one was a bit of a bi-polar experience. Some of it I loved, some of it I hated.What I loved: Great charm. Very clean. Interesting rooms with nooks and crannies. Games in some of the rooms. Relaxing balconies (upstairs/downstairs, front/back). Excellent staff with every interaction. Wonderful to sign the old time ledger to record your visit. Cool old keys on brass rings. Beautiful accommodations with antique like accomodations.What I hated: Any time anyone was on the balcony outside our room it felt like they were in our room. NO sound proof and the windows didn't have very effective shading. There's a window above the door that has a paper thin shade. All night long it was like a dimmed spotlight into the room. I could read from it (truly) and we had to put layers of jackets & towels over it every night. The doors are VERY difficult to shut/lock with one hand. You must put everything down when you leave as the doors don't self lock.Would I stay again? Sure. But I would be prepared. I'd bring ear plugs and I would DEFINITELY bring a small tarp for the window above the door. Then I would likely rate it a 4.

This hotel was recommended to us and it turned out really good! The lobby and adjacent rooms were beautiful.Upon check in, we were greeted by a welcoming receptionist. She told us that we would actually be staying across the street and up a flight of steps. Room 41 by the balcony. We booked this on booking.com and didn't realize that there were several buildings at the hotel.The room was spacious, exceptionally clean, although nothing fancy. Bed was very comfortable. See my picture of the shower. There is a small lip at the floor- water can splash out while showering so make sure you put towels down.**prepare in advance that there is no food for breakfast, nor coffee really.Two more things:I went back that evening and the same young woman was kind enough to find me a wine opener to use quickly. Cheers!Second, in case the hotel is reading- the public bathroom downstairs behind reception is so cute- a $10 new toilet seat would make a huge difference in presentation/ first appearances to guests checking in.If we head back to Fort Davis we will surely stay here! PS- check out the precious public library right next door!

In short, the hotel accidentally booked a wrong night and refused to refund me for the mistake they made, even after I offered to except 1/2 of the payment back. For a couple more details: I had originally booked 2 rooms for Friday 11/1 on the hotel's website. I called to add an additional Saturday night (11/2) to the reservation, which was accidentally changed to 11/2 and 11/3. I was told that I could not cancel the 11/3 reservation since I had a "special online rate" (which was double the price of what I saw listed for the Sunday I was booked for). No answer as to how my 11/1 reservation, also presumably booked with a "special online rate," was canceled. There was no manager on site to handle my concern and I only received contact by email. The hotel also ignored my report to the Better Business Bureau.

.Want to stay in a piece of history, then this is the place. Located in the heart of Fort Davis, this hotel tells a story of the draw to this beautiful town. We came here for a long anniversary weekend and Maegan at the front desk was accommodating and so very thoughtful. We had a beautiful bottle of champagne in our room upon arrival and was upgraded to a suite. Thank you to the entire team for a wonderful experience.

Very cute stay, loved the atmosphere! The rooms were well kept and spacious. I enjoyed having access and a discount to the restaurant and coffee shop; both were very delicious!
