Definitely an older building, but the sweet owners keep everything so clean and up to date. The mini fridge and microwave were so appreciated. There's an itty bitty playground out front for the kids (and me hehe) and an astounding amount of plants they're growing around back, so I'd also recommend taking a walk around the property and checking out all the cool stuff!

The Best Western Plus Swiss Chalet Hotel & Suites in Pecos, TX has to be the best in town!…read more I decided it was time for a girl's trip that comprised of me, my mom, and my two young daughters. My mom enjoyed museum hopping and site seeing with us. She also got a really good night's rest here. As we left she referred to it as "a neat place." My daughters absolutely loved the pool and hot tub here - we had it to ourselves the night of 1/13/2024 and the following morning. They also raved about the hot breakfast with a cute little Texas-shaped waffle and a variety of boba pearls, including blueberry flavor. Yes, I said boba! We stayed in Suite #203. It was nice and clean with two double beds and a sleeper sofa plus two flatscreens and ample outlets. After taxes and fees, my rate was $160.99 The only pitfalls for me was the interstate noise which wasn't too bad, but I could also easily hear kids running up and down the hallway a few times. Additionally, we had to use towels from our room for the pool. At one point I had to go downstairs to ask for a blanket that I thought should have been supplied in the room as part of the sleeper sofa. Nice, friendly staff. I'd definitely recommend for families.

Needing a bite to eat before zipping up the mountain for a star party at the McDonald's…read moreObservatory, my girlfriend and I popped into the Harvard Hotel with our appetites. With a limited menu, we presumed anything ordered would be rather scrumptious. We decided to order the chicken fried steak along with the green chili bacon burger. We shared our dishes per, swapping plates half way through our respective meals. Our consensus was identical and is as follows: The green chili bacon burger was indeed the superior dish. In fact, it was quite delicious! The chicken fried steak was good as well, but the portion was a bit small and the sides were nothing to write home about. Was the burger worth $18? Probably not, but to be fair, I'm not sure that any burger is deserving of such a price. That being said, it was indeed a tasty burger if you don't mind the price. Was the chicken fried steak worth $20? Certainly not. Truly an average dish with small portions, we both feel the decision was regrettable at such a price point. In conclusion, with a juicy burger, an average chicken fried steak, and a limited menu with overpriced entrees, the Harvard Hotel receives a 3 star rating.

And honestly it was a good choice, I think this might turn around my feelings toward Hilton that Doubletree in Toronto made me feel . The gym was good, breakfast was good in the morning. They provided light snacks and beer in the evening. The room was big and if I was staying long term I think it could be nice. The only down sides were that I had a towel with what seemed to be mold spots on it like the towel was maybe folded while still wet, and the shower head looked like it rarely gets cleaned.

Staff was friendly and accommodating, breakfast was hot and fresh, coffee was hot and good. My only issue was the AC. There is a thermostat on the wall and you would think this controlled the AC, well, it does not! We didn't sleep very good because it would cool down then get very hot, we adjusted what we thought was the thermostat to the lowest setting and fan to on, but this did not work, finally at 3 am and sweating in bed I got up and looked at the unit under the window which is usually controlled by the thermostat on the wall. It was set to 74°. I adjusted it to 70° with constant fan, THIS finally fixed the issue, unfortunately I had to get up in 4 hours to leave. So if you're going to stay at this establishment, DO NOT USE THE THERMOSTAT ON THE WALL!

Absolutely Wonderful Stay -- Especially for Dog Lovers!…read more We stayed at the Butterfield Inn in early June and had the best experience. We were in Unit 3, which was not only spotless and beautifully decorated, but also super cozy with a fireplace we actually got to use! It was perfect for us and our two big Labradors--plenty of space, comfort, and most importantly, true dog-friendliness. The service here is what really blew us away. I accidentally left my credit card behind, and the owner personally brought it to us. When we got a flat tire on our way out of town, she helped us find someone local to fix it fast. That kind of care and hospitality is rare and unforgettable. The new gift shop is absolutely adorable. I picked up a Texas Hummingbird book that I'm already loving, and there were so many unique finds--definitely worth stopping in even if you're not staying overnight. If you're heading to Fort Davis--especially with dogs--you HAVE to stay here. It's charming, clean, welcoming, and run by truly kind people. Can't recommend it enough!

We planned on eating breakfast at the hotel restaurant, however the water heater went out. Rooms do not have microwave or mini fridge and only way to warn any thing up or have pop corn is in the community area which happens to be same spot they hold conferences. So we were out a restaurant And ability to use a microwave during day. Our room Tv didn't work due to wiring issues. Wasnt happy about that. No compensation offered for Two night stay and no TV, had to go sit in the lounge to watch anything. Only reason giving a lower rating. Beautiful sunrise and loved windows on both sides of room

We were pleasantly surprised, especially given the "curb appeal" of the place!…read more This was our fist time visiting West Texas. We had done some research and realized that we needed to "set out expectations" for what to expect on our trip. That being said "Rustic" is an understatement!!!! Now, on to this particular establishment......... VERY laid back with self check-in/out. We only encountered two staff members during our stay, and they were both very friendly and "colorful" (in a good way). The accommodations, while small, and VERY RUSTIC, were clean, and thoughtfully laid out. It had ample places for our luggage, hanging clothes, toiletries, etc., and a kitchenette with coffee maker, microwave, fridge, and a sink which doubled for the bathroom sink. There was a make up dresser for my wife, with a mirror, but no hair dryer (which their website had stated would be the case, so no surprises there). The "compound" had a nicely appointed community pavilion, though it was a bit chilly at night when we were there, and we were exhausted, so we didn't use it. The bed was comfortable, and the heating/AC unit worked properly and wasn't unusually noisy. We left before the cafe was open, and they had closed by the time we checked in, so we didn't get a chance to try it, but the lingering food odor was wonderful, so we were a bit disappointed that we missed out. The ONLY comment I have is that the price, WHILE LESS THAN SOME OF THE OTHER PLACES WE ENCOUNTERED ON THIS TRIP, seemed a tad on the high end. We are generally a Hilton/Best Western/Holiday Inn Express type of client and we paid about the same for "Rustic" as we would for typical lodging at one of those establishments. That being said, this was the best lodging VALUE we experienced during our stay in West Texas, so not really a complaint. We would/will stay there again if/when we're out that way, again.
