This wonderful Texas Park Lodge has been redone, and was an incredible place for our family. Rooms were simply, but very clean, food was good, pool nice. Everyone had a blast hiking, biking, birdwatching and relaxing.

My family and I were here back in July. This place is the best. We had no cell phone service, no internet, but that worked for me. The room and bathroom were big, clean and comfortable. The room had a TV with cable and telephone but no microwave or refrigerator but wasn't high priority anyway. All in all very nice for a state run park and hotel. The restaurant is allright and very reasonable. The mountain views everywhere around you are beautiful. Interesting plants and flowers. Lots of places to hike and walk. We were outside alot even in evenings as they have a nice covered porch area with table and chairs overlook the pool area and the mountains. The weather was great. It was actually cool in upper 50's in evening and 80's daytime but alot less humidity. Be sure to go into town to the Ft. Davis Historical Site which is very interesting. Go see McDonald Observatory day tour and attend the "Star Party" at night. Its kind of expensive but well worth it and its just one time opportunity. Our kids enjoyed it. I forgot how beautiful the night sky is and how many stars there are at night. You can also see the "milky way" . Another small plus is the hotel office is manned 24hours but locked at 11pm. They have a small gift shop and have items to sell incase you need something for illness or other personal items.I definitely want to come back here sometime soon.

Just got back from the "renovated" Indian Lodge for quick overnight stay that cost $118.00 nite. . Clerk stated to us we would love the room. It was a suite in the very far back in the original bldg. It was great until I thought someone was trying to break in and in reality--people above us were just walking around in their room. According to front desk, all the rooms that have a room above it in the old section, only have 2 inches between the ceiling in lower level to floor in upper level. You hear everything. She stated during renovations, because bldg is historic, engineers couldn't "fix the noise thing". Bed- full size only, uncomfortable. Room a/c extremely noisy and filter--filthy! Staff was nice and then proceeeded to give me "cheat sheet" of where to stay for future visits. Also found out from office, that beds in new section are newer and more confortable. Unfriendly staff for bkfst and dinner in restaurant on site. Area is just beautiful which is the drawing card to stay here.

After a full day of driving from Austin, we were thrilled to find ourselves at the Indian Lodge. Our kids had a great time investigating the grounds and the rooms were spacious and clean. It was a perfect place to rest up before heading out to the McDonald Observatory. It was our first stop of about 8 hotels on this vacation and it's so far been the most unique!
