  Interesting and quaint.

  One night stay on the way from Guadalupe Mountains NP to Big Bend NP. Picked this place based on the price and interesting description. Easy to find right off of US90 on the west side of town. Check-in was easy, thanx to the friendly and helpful clerk, Francis. The room was half of a duplex cabin. Parking in front of each cabin. The room/cabin was clean but obviously old (50's?) and the electrical and plumbing fixtures were proof. HVAC unit was new as was the tv and both worked well. The mini-fridge and microwave were meant to look 50's retro, but they seemed to be newer models. Bed was comfortable and area was very quiet. The bathroom was small with small, old fixtures. The shower was an old-style block-construction with a billy-rigged faucet handle, and it took FOREVER for the hot water to show up. Lobby was not 24-hour and there was no breakfast service. Although "quaint" and interesting, and the price was ok, I don't know if we would stay there again. Once was good but enough.

  What a cool place!

  My wife had never been to Alpine and we wanted a quiet and quick getaway and the Antelope Lodge was the perfect choice. Check-in was smooth and easy even after we requested a different room type (no fault of the hotel). Even with "social distancing" it felt warm and inviting. The room was a total 50s throwback in the best possible way. Old school pink tiled bathroom and new retro style fridge and microwave. The beds were new and comfortable and the living room couch felt like we were at home. One of the best things was that our cottage had a great little covered front porch with 50s style chairs that overlooks a common courtyard with grills and fire pits. The owner came over as we sat and chatted for an hour or so which was a highlight of the trip, he was absolutely wonderful and open to talk about what we thought he could do to make his property even better. I wish I had asked for the names of everyone who we encountered at the Antelope Lodge so that I could give them the thanks that they deserve but I failed to do unfortunately.

  Fun & Funky

  We wanted a place that would offer us an experience! We didn't want the usual, sterile hotel. We found it here! We met the nicest people while sitting on our porch, or around the fire in the center of the courtyard. The room was comfortable and provided everything we needed. The linens on the queen bed were so soft!!

  Be forewarned, not chic, just shabby

  Let me start by saying I love staying in retro motels and I'm not really very picky. I don't expect modern amenities or for everything to be perfect, but this place is a dump. A room for 2 was over $100 but not worth half that. Other rooms may be different but #17 was awful! Now, I have seen stained concrete floors but not one that was just a concrete floor with stains on it. It looked like they just tore the carpet out and never cleaned the floor. I wondered why the clothes hanging rod was in the room instead of the closet ... until I opened the closet. Some of the crummiest carpentry I have ever seen. The industrial light fixture, the broken window repaired with silicone, the bent blinds. All in all, the Antelope was a real disappointment. For what they charge the owner could afford to keep this place up but, as it is, it's just a run down dump.

  Antelope Lodge has lots of problems

  I chose Antelope Lodge based on Trip Adviser and a magazine article. We have stayed in many retro motor lodges and have enjoyed every one of them until now. We were totally unprepared for the mess that has been made of Unit 2 (Courtyard Queen) the most expensive unit. It does open on the central courtyard but so do most of the other 15 or so units. The place desperately needs paint and baseboard repairs. One lamp was out so we replaced the bulb and discovered the wiring was taped together. Whoever combined this into one unit placed the toilet so close to the door and wall, it was almost unusable, not to mention the mold in the shower and the skimpy towels. Many people staying in Alpine are going to the back country and leave fairly early yet no one was around to open up the ice machines until 9:00. Best to give this one a miss.
