Back door of room 16, facing the mountains
Katrina B.

I love staying here! It's so quirky and unique, and Florinda is the sweetest, most accommodating host. Definitely ask for a mountain-facing room for that stunning view in the morning, and get ready for biiiig oak furniture and very comfy beds. The bathrooms have a heater and rain showers in them, such a nice touch. Each room (I think?) has a front and back door so it's easy to get a breeze through and air out if you're like us and very precautious with COVID things. The restaurant next door has pretty good food, I got the enchilada dinner and was very satisfied. Skip the margaritas though, they're essentially Mike's hard lemonade

Came to stay for a quick trip to the Springs. It was peaceful, tastefully decorated, quiet and clean. Loved French doors opening to courtyard as well as door through the other side of the room. Internet service was not consistent but it was great to unplug!

Someone with disabilities should not be assigned to a room where you can literally trip.

1. Overpriced: I paid $150 total for a King Bed room. Look for hotels in Fort Stockton (only 40 minutes east) like the La Quinta, Fairfield or Hampton Inn. I have stayed in all of them, and have far more comfortable and enjoyable experience. If you do choose to stay here bring your own pillows and maybe even sheets. It looks like they have never been replaced. Their beds are as hard as the mountains surrounding the area. 2. You won't have cell service here and there are no phones in the rooms! Also, their WiFi didn't work and trying to contact the front desk to clear up the issue after check in is impossible as they leave as soon as 7 pm. I can't imagine what we would have done given an emergency. 3. Service animals: the staff was ignorant to the importance and legal requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act which requires that people with service animals are treated equally and not given lesser rooms. This happened in our case and you can see our damaged room below. The front desk attendant was deceitful in assigning us a room. We had asked previously, upon check-in, if the room had damage from other animals, or was different in any other way to other rooms. To which she had replied "no". We didn't appreciate her dishonesty. 4. Pros: The landscaping was very kitschy. The style of the hotel was refreshing from the regular big chain hotels which is what drew us in. The mountain scenery is beautiful but we're unable to see it from our window even though the hotel was less than half occupied. Cons: No WiFi, land lines, clocks, phones, front office attendance, or pool either in the room or on the property. Also, there's a huge RV park with a lot of aggressive stray cats on the other side of the parking lot which made me feel unsafe especially walking at night. The hotel didn't feel safe or clean. Period. It seemed like nobody had stayed in this room for months and the staff had failed to keep it in an acceptable condition. I recommend saving your money and staying in one of the surrounding areas. It's just not worth it. Take a look at the photos and see what I am talking about.

Nice big Bed.

We accidentally found this place while running from freezing weather on our motorcycle. The place has that old Spanish Lodge feel. The rooms are over the top with beautiful large furniture and a 4 person shower that rains from above. Plus a heater in the shower/toilet room. We stayed in room #2 which was ten bucks more that the standard rooms. Not sure what standard rooms look like. It was $129 for the night for our room. Also, next door is a great Mexican restaurant we walked to. This place was a great find in a small town 2 miles off the hyw 10.

We stayed there and loved our room and the swallows in the walkways surrounding the well kept courtyard.

Harvard Hotel - Chicken Fried Steal

Needing a bite to eat before zipping up the mountain for a star party at the McDonald's…read moreObservatory, my girlfriend and I popped into the Harvard Hotel with our appetites. With a limited menu, we presumed anything ordered would be rather scrumptious. We decided to order the chicken fried steak along with the green chili bacon burger. We shared our dishes per, swapping plates half way through our respective meals. Our consensus was identical and is as follows: The green chili bacon burger was indeed the superior dish. In fact, it was quite delicious! The chicken fried steak was good as well, but the portion was a bit small and the sides were nothing to write home about. Was the burger worth $18? Probably not, but to be fair, I'm not sure that any burger is deserving of such a price. That being said, it was indeed a tasty burger if you don't mind the price. Was the chicken fried steak worth $20? Certainly not. Truly an average dish with small portions, we both feel the decision was regrettable at such a price point. In conclusion, with a juicy burger, an average chicken fried steak, and a limited menu with overpriced entrees, the Harvard Hotel receives a 3 star rating.

Great place to stay. We came to Ft. Davis to swim at Balmorhea State Park. Visit McDonald…read moreObservatory. Dinner in Marfa. We loved our room, great wood features in room. Wood ceiling was cool.

And honestly it was a good choice, I think this might turn around my feelings toward Hilton that Doubletree in Toronto made me feel . The gym was good, breakfast was good in the morning. They provided light snacks and beer in the evening. The room was big and if I was staying long term I think it could be nice. The only down sides were that I had a towel with what seemed to be mold spots on it like the towel was maybe folded while still wet, and the shower head looked like it rarely gets cleaned.

Great accommodations and a plus for having free EV charging, this is the reason we chose this…read morelocation that and I'm a Diamond member. Staff was friendly and accommodating, breakfast was hot and fresh, coffee was hot and good. My only issue was the AC. There is a thermostat on the wall and you would think this controlled the AC, well, it does not! We didn't sleep very good because it would cool down then get very hot, we adjusted what we thought was the thermostat to the lowest setting and fan to on, but this did not work, finally at 3 am and sweating in bed I got up and looked at the unit under the window which is usually controlled by the thermostat on the wall. It was set to 74°. I adjusted it to 70° with constant fan, THIS finally fixed the issue, unfortunately I had to get up in 4 hours to leave. So if you're going to stay at this establishment, DO NOT USE THE THERMOSTAT ON THE WALL!

Absolutely Wonderful Stay -- Especially for Dog Lovers!…read more We stayed at the Butterfield Inn in early June and had the best experience. We were in Unit 3, which was not only spotless and beautifully decorated, but also super cozy with a fireplace we actually got to use! It was perfect for us and our two big Labradors--plenty of space, comfort, and most importantly, true dog-friendliness. The service here is what really blew us away. I accidentally left my credit card behind, and the owner personally brought it to us. When we got a flat tire on our way out of town, she helped us find someone local to fix it fast. That kind of care and hospitality is rare and unforgettable. The new gift shop is absolutely adorable. I picked up a Texas Hummingbird book that I'm already loving, and there were so many unique finds--definitely worth stopping in even if you're not staying overnight. If you're heading to Fort Davis--especially with dogs--you HAVE to stay here. It's charming, clean, welcoming, and run by truly kind people. Can't recommend it enough!

What a beautiful place to stay during our first visit to Fort Davis (on our way to a Star Party at…read moreMc Donalds Observatory)! The service leaves nothing to be desired, great communication from the beginning. Jennifer stayed in contact all along until we arrived to the location. Our cottage, number one, was beautiful! Everything we expected and more. Clean, nicely decorated, spacious, stocked with coffee, a mini fridge and a microwave oven. The patio is charming, clean a private enough to be enjoyed when the weather is nice. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a place in this charming, little town.

We were pleasantly surprised, especially given the "curb appeal" of the place!…read more This was our fist time visiting West Texas. We had done some research and realized that we needed to "set out expectations" for what to expect on our trip. That being said "Rustic" is an understatement!!!! Now, on to this particular establishment......... VERY laid back with self check-in/out. We only encountered two staff members during our stay, and they were both very friendly and "colorful" (in a good way). The accommodations, while small, and VERY RUSTIC, were clean, and thoughtfully laid out. It had ample places for our luggage, hanging clothes, toiletries, etc., and a kitchenette with coffee maker, microwave, fridge, and a sink which doubled for the bathroom sink. There was a make up dresser for my wife, with a mirror, but no hair dryer (which their website had stated would be the case, so no surprises there). The "compound" had a nicely appointed community pavilion, though it was a bit chilly at night when we were there, and we were exhausted, so we didn't use it. The bed was comfortable, and the heating/AC unit worked properly and wasn't unusually noisy. We left before the cafe was open, and they had closed by the time we checked in, so we didn't get a chance to try it, but the lingering food odor was wonderful, so we were a bit disappointed that we missed out. The ONLY comment I have is that the price, WHILE LESS THAN SOME OF THE OTHER PLACES WE ENCOUNTERED ON THIS TRIP, seemed a tad on the high end. We are generally a Hilton/Best Western/Holiday Inn Express type of client and we paid about the same for "Rustic" as we would for typical lodging at one of those establishments. That being said, this was the best lodging VALUE we experienced during our stay in West Texas, so not really a complaint. We would/will stay there again if/when we're out that way, again.

Great service. Great food. Especially the hamburgers and omelets. Very clean and fast service.read more
