Pros:

Staff was very awesome and friendly!! We were on the road and a couple hours away from arriving. They called and let me know that they were closing soon at 9pm, but would leave our keys in the late arrivals box. Which was really cool of them!! Hotel is very close to the park entrance and for the price can’t Beat it! Very quiet and close to restaurants and other establishments. Only con is that it could be a little cleaner/more attention to detail but nothing major. But other than that everything was great and would recommend and def stay here again!!

Pros:

Environnement calme nous étions à 350 mètres du bâtiment principal.
Personnel très sympathique.
Chambre correcte mais relativement chère par rapport aux autres logements au Texas.
A notre connaissance pas d'endroit type restaurant dans les parages, pas de petit déjeuner, prévoir de quoi se restaurer sinon regime sec....

Best Stay!
Pros:

Not sure why the rating isn’t higher? We just got back home today from being out here for a few days. The location of this place sold me! I gave it a shot. The room was clean, the water pressure was Perfect. But the bed was hard manageable but I’m picky I like soft beds so I’m not hating. But the rules they have make this place quiet and I love that. No bugs in the room. The front desk is super nice like holy cow!! The whole town is nice! I would stay here again and again. We stayed in the pink room idk what it’s called I already forgot but you can see the Santa Elena canyon from the door and when you open your window! I added some photos that were taken from the parking lot next to our hotel room.

When it rains, it pours
Pros:

I stayed for 1 night on August 30 and it just so happened that a big storm came thru at night. We immediately lost power and since they have no generators, we had no power until the following morning. The room also got flooded during the night of the storm. They didnt have a number to call and the one they had listed was for the front desk and they leave at 8pm.
Horrible horrible experience. And the front desk staff were so nonchalant about the experience the following morning. Like oh well. I would avoid in the future.

Pros:

The power went out shortly after our arrival. Staff was not on site to address this issue. There was a radio to contact security that was not functioning so we were unable to contact anyone to get power restored. It was extremely hot and would have just been better to sleep in a tent.

Pros:

There was a power outage on the third night of our 4 night stay. Nobody was answering the phone number posted at the lobby. Many guests kept calling this number and no answer. It was uncomfortable to sleep with no power and no AC in 104 degree weather. We checked out a day early.Expediq states the management will not give us a refund because we did not report that there was no AC. This is ridiculous since they are fully aware there was a power outage in the wntire hotel and campground.They are not honest. Do not book jere. Nobody can be reached after hours.

50/50 whether to stay
Pros:

Upon entry to the room it was very nice and newly updated except for the bathroom. The room was clean except for the shower. The toilet was very, very low, but I guess most of their guest are young hikers. The bed was also very hard. There was no hair dryer. Big Bend was on our bucket list, so we will not be back.

Annoying flies
Pros:

This is the first time that we visited Big Bend. We are offered a room across the street. Look like it is another motel acquired by big bend station, there are many flies outside of the room. As soon as we opened the door, many flies entered the room. Never had this kind of experience in my travel history.
