The Maverick Inn

Our west Texas adventure was made even better by staying a few nights at the Maverick Inn!! Great little place to stay and relax. We will definitely stay here when we head back out to the Big Bend area.

First off - the manager Hope was extremely helpful, kind and accommodating (I talked to her several times over the phone about rates and billing). She made us like the hotel even more. When it comes to the rooms (we've stayed here several times over the years), it should be noted that for the very affordable price point, this is a great property with shabby-sheik western style rooms. Recommend staying in the room 11 large room with a mini-courtyard with grass (good for our pets). We opted not to have the room cleaned during our stay, but they offered every day. The guest office has nice snacks and hot teas/coffee. We really enjoy this property and the adobe/ western rooms.

A lot to like about the theming of this hotel, as the southwestern vibe is perfect for a road trip through the area. Some oddities include the claustrophobic original bathrooms (ours had some sort of chevron caution tape holding a bit of the floor down) and the fact we had to pick up our keys at the Holland Hotel. At the end of the day, the bed was comfortable and clean.

I wanted this place to be a wonderful place for my wife's birthday for us to stay while we roamed around the Big Bend area for three days. On our first night there I discovered the door to our room doesn't lock. Not to make a fuss, I sit our ice chest in front of the door and slept with my pistol on the bedside table. The next morning I contacted the front desk which is located in another hotel. They said they would contact the maintenance man and he would come fix it. We packed up our valuables and went touring the Davis Mountains.Upon arriving back our door still had not been fixed. I was told by the front desk that the maintenance man had not contacted them. I lost my cool and told them to forget it. So we spent the next two nights there with no lock on the door and taking our valuables with us when we went somewhere.There were other problems as well such as the room had a garden tub with the shower located in the center that would be challenging for an acrobat to maneuver. The shower curtain was too small and got water everywhere. And lastly, the toilet area was so small it had no leg room.

Absolutely adorable motel. Classic, vintage and so comfortable. We had a spontaneous travel plan. Traveled from San Antonio to Alpine, no itinerary. Super cute room, all the amenities, very accommodating and awesome staff. Will definitely come back.

No muss, no fuss, pet-friendly lodging, just like it says on the tin. Everything to do, everywhere to eat and drink in Alpine is less than a mile away, with sidewalks for walking the whole way on both sides of the street. Right across from Sul Ross State if that's your cause for visiting. All the running water-things (shower toilet sink) worked great and water was good. Beds were fine. Maybe bring your own pillows; I wished I'd have brought one or two of my own. AC blows cold, heater blows hot. TV is sized proportionally to how much time we wanted to spend watching it: very little. Pets are $30/head. Fine. Check-in was easy. There's an AutoZone next door in case your car needs a pick-me-up.

It was great until it wasn't! First of all let me thank the staff for accommodating us at last minute. They were very kind and accommodating. The young lady working the evening shift made a recommendation for dinner which was spot on and much appreciated. The room was very spacious and we had our own little yard area. There is an area with a fire pit and horseshoes where my children love to run around. There are several photo opportunities at the motel. However, there is no one working after 8 PM until 8 AM. We could not ever get the TV to work which was very hard with the kids. We had a difficult time getting the heater to work despite instructions being available. Turns out it just took forever to heat up the room. There is a train that is close by but we did not find that bothersome. Our previous time staying here, The traffic on the nearby road is what kept us awake. But where we were this time we were not bothered. The biggest concern was when I was brushing my teeth I noticed that there was something on the water Spicket where the water comes out. When I took a rag to wipe it, it was a big bunch of mildew or mold. When I washed it real good and turned it back on and even more black -green mold fell out... To think I was brushing my teeth with that and so had my children! There were two sinks, The second sink was not as dirty. Overall, it is a really cute place and we would stay again. However, I will definitely check the sinks and cleanliness next time.

Nice staff. The pool is so cute and clean. The rooms are ok. The sheets don't stay on the bed. They definitely need deep-pocket sheets. They have small refrigerators and microwaves. The shower in one of the rooms had mold and mildew. The other room we had had a tub/shower combination and had no mold. The rooms, besides the shower with mold and mildew, were very clean. It's a cute and pleasant place to stay. You have an opportunity to meet and greet those staying around you. The trains going by at night didn't bother me. It sort of added a charm.

This place is so nice. Rooms are quaint but everything is very clean and tidy. Pool is spotless.Prefer a local place over a big brand that offers the same but I would say that The Maverick Inn tops the other major hotels here in Alpine.

We love the Maverick, we love the location, we like the rooms, we like the service, and we like the amenities. We will definitely come back. My one real complaint is that the sink could've used a two minute scrub with Ajax. No excuse for a grimy sink. also, it would be nice if there were a little shelf in the shower, even the kind that you hang from the pipe. Don't want to sound too cranky because we like the place. Hope to see you again.
