This was our first time to visit and the rooms and the restaurant was great. We have returning in June.

At $ 90,-- this hotel is no bargain. The restaurant is large, not cosy and cold. The food is simple but cheap.
Our room was clean and rural. No fridge and the TV remote needed to be reset (?) Breakfast not included.
Nice garden but not all the rooms had a mountain view.
Steep entrance from parkinglot to room. Helpful staff
and pretty reception. Small poolarea without beach-umbrella's but with good poolfurniture.
Beautiful surroundings, cannot compete with Big Bend though. Reservation recommended.

One adult and two kids (ages 8 and 12) stayed at the Indian Lodge on Feb. 7-8, 2005. The Lodge is run by the Texas State Parks and Wildlife Department. It is a historical buidling (portions of which were built by the CCC), that is in the process of being fully renovated. Unlike most hotel renovation horror stories, they do not put anyone in the portion under renovation, and keep guests well away from the construction and noise. We stayed in one of the newly renovated sections. The room was fantastic -- the feeling of a modern mountain cabin. The hotel has a simple restaurant ("nice" diner); the food and service were very good. Ft. Davis is a must stop on any trip to Big Bend NP. Nearby activities include Ft. Davis National Historic Site -- a great restoration of a frontier fort, the world-class McDonald Astronomical Observatory, Overland Trail Museum, and close proximity to Balmorhea State Park, the Marfa lights, and Alpine, TX. The hotel has fantasic views (see submitted photos), and is actually located in Ft. Davis State Park. A great five day trip is two days in the Ft. Davis area, and three at Big Bend National Park.

My husband and I went to Davis Mtns. State Park the last week in Sept.. We spent 3 nights at the lodge. We were very satisfied with the accomodations. We had a room in the section that was added on in the late 1960's. The original historical section of 15 rooms was closed due to renovation going on. The room was large with wood floors, Texas style wood furniture, two double beds, a wood chest with lid at the foot of each bed, a desk with chair, two sitting chairs, a dresser and mirror built into a side wall and I was surprised to find in a state run lodge...cable TV. The bathroom was small but modern with tub/shower, big sink basin and enough room to do your business. We had a nice view of the valley outside the door with a metal rocking chair for two. The rate was 75.00 at the time. The hotel clerks were very friendly and helpful. There is a nice hiking trail starting at the back of the property that is about 2.5 miles that takes you up the hill for views of the mountains and we saw some goats and deer on the trail. We had breakfast at the Black Bear Restaurant which is part of the lodge. Breakfast was good but we did not care for the meal we had at dinner. Prices in restaurant were fairly cheap and no tipping as the employees are paid a full wage by Tx St. Parks. I would stay here again.
