"This is an old hotel but the upkeep leaves something to be desired. There were “ burrs” in the carpeting that clung to our socks and didn’t feel very good either!
The coffee in the lobby was the worst and depleted by 7:30. There were no cup covers for the coffee cups. "
"Easy to get from the hotel to Fort Davis and McDonald Observatory. Room was super comfortable with big bath area. I loved having the common areas to sit or fix some food."
"Our stay at the Drugstore Hotel was truly unique—an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything we saw in the photos came to life, and honestly, it was even better than we expected.
My son absolutely loved it—he said he would happily live there forever, playing games and enjoying every moment. That alone says so much about how special this place is.
We felt incredibly welcome throughout our stay, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax and fully enjoy our time as a family.
Highly, highly recommended! We will definitely be back and will book this place again on our next trip.
Thank you again for such a wonderful experience!"
"An absolute unique setting surrounded by the Fort Davis Mountains. It is directly across from the Chihuanhuan Desert Nature Center. We stayed in Bunkhouse 1 that worked well for 2 adults and our 11 year old grandson. The first night there we enjoyed sitting by the pool and the hot tub. We chose this location aa our home base to spend time both in the Fort Davis area and the Big Bend area. Bunkhouse accommodations are similar to a hotel setting. No kitchen but small frig, microwave, espresso machine. It also has a fireplace. It is a very peaceful setting that is still being developed. We enjoyed a short hike on the property but according to site info they plan to develop more trails. There are also trails at the Chihuanhuan Natural Center and at the Fort Davis State Park. The accommodations were very comfortable and provided everything we needed for our 5 nights. We bought snacks and lite breakfast food in town. The line of toiletries is top of the line. I wish I could have purchased it. "
