Marathon Hotels from S$87

"The hotel is in complete disrepair. My room was clean but had holes in the walls, a door lock that barely functioned and would fall off if hit reasonably hard I never had maid service in the 5 days I was there. The woman at the front desk did not speak English and I don’t think she spoke Spanish either. It took the second day to figure out the plumbing was reversed, the hot water was on the right side in the shower instead of the left. I will not be staying there again. Fortunately my time in the Alpine area and Big Bend kept me busy and the time at the hotel was minimal. "

"Do not let the pictures fool you! I stayed for 8 days and had to leave for a job site at 8 am. Because the office wasn’t open until 9 am, and the hanging card to request maid service was missing it wasn’t until the 3rd day that I was able to get to the office to request a tag and tell the manager about the conditions below. Pros Low rate New appliances. Cons Dust and dirt on floors, walls, entry door, and walls. Thorns in rugs. Toe or fingernail clippings were on the room floor when I arrived. After maid service, some grime on the floor, the pubic hair that was embedded in urine around the toilet, a dirt on the entry door and blinds that were all present when I arrived, still remained. WiFi was so slow that photos in web pages took minutes to load. I am a person who doesn’t get upset when things aren’t spic and span, and my partner is almost as forgiving as I am. I was relieved that she wasn’t with me. Lastly, my stay was from Monday before Easter through the following Monday. Only a small fraction of the cottages had vehicles present on any given day, so there was plenty of time for my unit to be properly cleaned. "

"Nice facility. Very clean and quiet. Polite and friendly staff. Breakfast was okay. Except the coffee, both the in-room packets and the on-demand coffee machine in the breakfast room were very bad. Hope they replace with better brands soon. "

"Great staff. Room exceptionally clean. Good size fridge, microwave like new. Room a/c worked great. My only 2 recommendations for this place is maybe get a waffle maker for breakfast as there is nothing hot. Yougurt, cereal, fruit, toast are your choices with hard-boiled eggs. And the size of the tv is way to small for Room. Beds were very comfortable. "

"We booked a stay of several nights at this hotel, knowing it was nice from having stayed there in the past. Neither Expedia nor Holiday Inn Express informed us that the hotel was under major renovation. We couldn't walk in the front door, the lobby was demolished, and the breakfast room had been removed to a makeshift meeting room. Staff members were difficult to find. There was continual hammering and loud sawing. We had to enter the hotel through a side door. All in all, it was a challenging stay, certainly not restful. My main complaint is that no one let us know in advance that the hotel would be like that, so that we could have made an informed decision about staying there. We certainly would not, had we known what it would be like."

"It was very comfortable and safe."

"The room was very clean. The staff was fantastic. The breakfast bus and food was great. The ac works amazingly well. I loved the atmosphere of the whole motel. I really did not want to leave this morning. Sanderson is a great little town and you can not beat the Desert Air Motel. "

"Overall, it was a very good stay. The room is advertised as Texas sized, and they are right. It’s a big room, bed was comfy. They give you liquid hand soap instead of that cheap hotel bar soap, so that was nice. Had a few issues….my tv remote didn’t work except to turn on the tv and adjust the volume, but I was out hiking all day and CNBC wasn’t that bad for an hour or so. Breakfast needs work. You have to heat up your own bacon, eggs, or sausage. At checkout, the person working the counter was a kid, probably in that 10-12 years old range. I’d stay there again if heading out that way"

"Amazing stay "
