Holiday Inn Express & Suites Alpine Southeast by IHG

enjoyable comfortable Really enjoyed my stay here. Alpine is a small town, so even off a main road, the room was perfectly quiet. Breakfast was usual Holiday Inn Express egg omelettes, sausage patties, bagels, english muffins, pancake machine, milk, yogurt, etc, which I consider to be above average, so great! Staff was fantastic and friendly, room was very clean, plenty of parking. You'll be farther from the park, but won't lack for any comforts. Great stay

Disappointing as they lost a personal item We enjoyed the pool at this hotel but it was disappointing when I forgot to pack my bathing suit after checking out, and we returned only one day later after spending a night in Big Bend, and it was not found in lost items. Other than that nothing to complain about but this incidence was even more disappointing as we had paid $170 including tax per night for this stay. Not sure if this is a normal price for a weekday in Alpine.

Clean, modern room with comfy beds and extensive breakfast. The hotel was welcoming with a very nice check-in guy who was very helpful. The room was clean, modern and had big TV with many cable channels. The double queen beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows. Bathroom was bright and clean with Dove products. Shower had plenty of hot water with strong water flow. The extensive breakfast had a great variety of hot and cold foods. There were fresh cooked scrambled eggs, omelets, sausage (2 types), biscuits, gravy with sausage bits, and a cool 3 pancake maker in one minute machine. It was just fun watching it being made. _ They had cooked oatmeal, breads, cinnamon rolls, yogurt varieties and fruits. It was a nice last resort to modern amenities before we trekked to Big Bend where it was very remote and primitive. Traveling to this part of the country could be a problem when many places were closed early or short on gas. We were here during a holiday weekend.

With a full size vanity it would get 5 Stars As platinum members, they upgraded us to a suite which was great until we went in the bathroom and saw that it was handicap. We wouldn't have been upset if it had a full size vanity, but it didn't, what it had was a vanity that was so small, we had to put most of our toiletry items on the back of the toilet, the rest we had to put in the b edroom which is inconvenient when you're trying to get dressed in the morning without waking up your spouse. If it had a vanity half the size of the kitchen counter that was in the bedroom, our stay would have been much better and easily would have rated 5 Stars as the shower pressure was great and the breakfast bar was one of the best with a great selection.

Very Good Experience, Would Stay Here Again! We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Alpine for four nights while exploring Big Bend and surrounding areas. Very few hotels are absolutely perfect, but we liked this one. Expectations were exceeded in some ways, and there are a few things that need improvement. * Room had everything we needed - it was well-lit, had all the right amenities, towels, toilet paper and tissue, and a placard that offered any things we might have forgotten to bring. Small fridge and microwave, k-cup coffee maker with supplies. Luggage holder, safe, even an iron and ironing board available in a roomy closet. * King bed and pillows very comfortable for us. * Room service was very good - fresh towels and bed made every day, room fairly clean, though the walls could use a good cleaning. * Shower head really needs replaced, or at least cleaned. Some of the holes were clogged and the spray was going all over the place. It couldn't be adjusted. And though we had the shower curtain completely closed, water ended up pooled on the floor. * Nice-looking pool and fitness room, though not open at posted hours sometimes. * Very nice, big dining room that guests have access to at all hours. * Breakfast was much better than at other hotels - hot, fresh, tasty, plenty of variety and with some healthy options. Great coffee and juices. Pancakes out of the machine were delicious. * There was a reception in the dining room on weekdays, with snacks and sometimes wine for the guests. * At check-in for us and others we noticed, there was a several minute wait for staff to appear. Check-out was very easy and efficient. * Key cards were unreliable. Sometimes it took several tries to get them to work, though eventually they would. * Room wasn't sound-proof at all. The guest in room above us walked like a herd of elephants across the floor, also you could hear the doors in hallway slamming when they were closed. We didn't report the few minor negative issues we had, simply because we felt the positive things far outweighed the negative for this hotel. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it or stay here again!
