This is my first time staying at this hotel. Never have I experience what I did after I woke up in…read morethe morning after. When I flip back the sheets all the way back just to make sure I wasn't leaving anything behind, I came across dirty stain sheets that look like blood stains and there was grit on my sheets. Looks like the sheets haven't been changed. So of course I did bring it to the front desk clerk attention. And I told him I took pictures of it as well , asked if he wanted to see them he said no that's okay that he would tell the manager. Since I book through booking.com the hotel said they weren't able to refund my money because of that reason and finding out through booking.com called the Hotel, the general manager to let them know, and was told I never complained. Smh. This was terrible.

My kids told me this is their favorite Holiday Inn. I agree! It's clean, relatively new, and has…read morelittle extras that show the owner cares. For example, they have a snack/beer/wine reception on weekdays from 5-7pm. It's nothing fancy, but it's the thought that counts! The pool is great too. I love swimming but there's always a part of me that cringes when I first put my toe in the water and feel how cold it is. Not here! The water was super warm in the pool (90?) and the hot tub was even warmer. Another touch that shows care from the owner - they added 3 turtle mosaics on the pool floor. Even at breakfast, I felt the extra TLC - more yogurt options than most Holiday Inns, and an egg white omelette option for those trying to eat healthier. We were able to stay here twice on our trip to/from Big Bend, and I'm so glad we did!

Not my first time here to the Holland Hotel. I like it for the history, as it was built to serve as…read morea waypoint for commerce flowing through the Big Bend region, mostly through early rail service. Its white stucco façade rises with understated elegance, a study in regional restraint. Step inside, and the Western motif feels neither theatrical nor contrived--it is immersive. The interiors evoke a time when craftsmanship mattered and hospitality was tangible. That sense of authenticity is perhaps most charmingly embodied in the guest experience itself: upon check-in, visitors are handed an actual metal key. No plastic cards. No digital apps. Just the satisfying weight of tradition in your palm. My stay in a Balcony King room revealed generous proportions rarely found in contemporary boutique properties. The suite unfolded into a separate living area, creating a sense of residential calm rather than transient lodging. The design language is minimalist, layered with subtle Southwestern influences with warm tones, and textures that echo the surrounding landscape. The bed offered restorative comfort, while a thoughtful pair of earplugs placed bedside acknowledged Alpine's enduring rail presence. Trains still pass through town in the night, their horns sounding--a reminder that this hotel was born of the tracks and continues to exist in dialogue with them. Service is polished yet personal, with staff attentive both before arrival and throughout the stay. And location is paramount: The Holland sits squarely in the heart of Alpine, making galleries, cafés, and local storefronts effortlessly accessible on foot.

I ordered the chicken tortilla soup and the smoked quail. The soup was served with the garnishes in the bowl and the broth poured from a kettle at the table, which was a fun presentation.

If you're in Alpine or passing through (like I was on the way back from Big Bend NP), this is a great place to stop and grab a meal.

The ambiance was old-fashioned (very cute), and our server has been super nice and friendly. The food, on the contrary, was a complete disappointment - spicy margaritas were just ok (not good and not bad); cilantro japalapeno soup had a good flavor but no cilantro or jalapeno was found in it, and it was not spicy at all. Carne asada was dry, overcooked and not fresh, and so was rosemary chicken dish - chicken was pan fried and a bit greasy, but at least fresh. Mashed potatoes were a couple days old and hard as a brick. Steak was overcooked, and we have returned it. The only reason I would give Reata three star is our awesome waitress - she has been the highlight of the experience.

It was super convenient- we never even had to face any staff. Our keys were waiting for us at the door (Yes, that's pretty trusting but the location is also a bit hidden as we had to walk down a clean alley to get there) SIMPLE ACCOMMODATIONS Huge plus for having local Coffee at the counter as well as a microwave, mini fridge, and wifi. Also a collection of small snacks for the taking. A simple, sheer curtain divided the living room from the bedroom but also added an elegant feel to the minimalist appearance. Everything was clean and perfect for our stay. AND RATHER SPACIOUS It never felt cramped inside. That sheer curtain also works great, space miracles. We also liked how right outside the door was a small, vegetation-filled courtyard. It was a bit too chilly for us to take advantage of but it mentally made us feel very relaxed upon entering.

They provide snacks, WiFi and a great binder with information. The location is convient to pretty much everything in Alpine ( a lot within walking distance). However, I was extremely dissapointed and annoyed when I received my review back from the Guest Lofts. We came to Alpine to celebrate me turning 21. Im not a big drinker and therefore wanted to travel for my bday. I think my group and I were stereotyped and therefore received a negative review. Apparently we kept a family and their kids up all night long... First off we were on the outside which meant there was only one loft next to us. The first night we stayed there we had just drove 7 hours and didn't stay up past 10. The next morning when we woke up the only people in the loft next to us were one of the ladies that runs the guest lofts cleaning. We were told In the review we were too loud and didn't follow the rules. There is no possible way we kept anyone up all night long. We never stayed up past 12 and didn't wake up until 9. I didn't even finish a four pack of beer and one of the people in my group was sick. The only "kids" I saw were two preteens throwing knives at stuff in the courtyard. I take it Guest Lofts are not a fan of young adults. I think they could have handled the situation better and maybe talked to us in person or let us know there was supposedly someone staying next to us.

The locals could not have been more warm and friendly, even the local reptiles are calm and friendly. (See photo) I had a flat tire during my stay and it was minutes before I had a smiling local offering to help me air my tire back up. Having a fresh organic food truck steps away from the Bottle House was the greatest surprise. It's like having your own personal chef on call. I was so pleased to have delicious healthy food options near. The scenery surrounding the Bottle House is nothing short of breathtaking. On my drive into West Texas from Austin I literally gasped at the sight of such beauty once I hit the West Texas mountainous landscape. I was in awe. The beautiful natural landscape is captivating and can be admired while driving into town and from your front porch. Alpine is a treasure. It is a beautiful quick drive to Marfa from the Bottle House. I had planned on making day trips to Marfa several days of my stay but ended up enjoying relaxing and exploring Alpine so much that I had to extend my trip by a day to give myself a chance to see Marfa. I couldn't get enough of how charming this BnB is. Liz has thought of absolutely everything one could need to be made comfortable and feel completely at home. I can't wait to visit Alpine and The Bottle House again next time I'm in need of a peaceful retreat, full of natural beauty and friendly faces.
