Marathon hotel guide. Independent hotel in Marathon, Texas

"The property was as it appears on Expedia. Although next to a highway it was very quiet. The property could definitely use an update and a good cleaning. Although it is an older property there is no excuse for not so be a proper cleaning. "

"Very clean room. Staff was very nice."

"Not what we expected. Needs sound proofing. "

"Good parking. Enjoyed the stay. "

"The property was clean and tastefully decorated. It was also well stocked with incidental toiletries to include toothbrush kits, although I did not need to use any of the supplies the host provided. I used one towel as a floor-mat and showered with my own towel, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I only had one very minor issue with a mechanical squeak coming from the A/C unit which I solved by turning off the oscillation function. I passed this info on to the host and I'm sure they will address it for future guests. The shower had a nice stream of water which quickly warmed up, and the bed was very comfortable for either sitting or sleeping. Since the price was approximately 1/2 of what the Holiday Inn Express or Hampton Inn were charging, I have only praise for this location. It is located south of town, but roughly in the middle of everything and only takes about 5 min to get to any of the attractions in Alpine. It is roughly 108 miles from Big Bend National Park, which is an easy drive. BEWARE of Alpine law enforcement, they can be very nit-picky about speed or other Texas Road Code enforcement. Totally enjoyable stay, would repeat 100%"

"DO NOT STAY HERE."

"Nice"

"This B&B was one of the best ones we ever stayed at. Highly recommend. "

"The hotel was under renovations and there was no notice online about it or I would have stayed elsewhere. I paid around $275 per night for a room with a jetted tub only to not be able to open the window because there were literally workers standing right outside looking back at me!!! The noise was loud and the smell of paint was overwhelming! When I complained to the girl on staff I was told I would have to speak to a manager. The manager came in at 11pm! The manager offered $50...that's it!! I was then told I could speak to the GM at 9am the next day...I came there to explore the town not wait around to speak to staff all day! The room itself was ok but definitely NOT worth what I paid especially with the hotel in the condition it was in. The only saving grace was a decent free breakfast each morning. I would not stay here again"
