Hotels near Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center and Botanical Garden

"Nice, but noisy winds "

"Just needed a hotel so I could easily get to the Star Party at McDonald Observatory. This was perfect and quiet."

"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."

"Restaurant and bar closed early as they had “too large of a party” - very disappointing as we arrived in the clearly evening expecting to be able to eat at the hotel"

"It was very comfortable and safe."

"Great communication for check in. Very roomy, large comfy bed, two great recliners and a small TV. There was a small fridge, microwave and coffee pot. Book explaining everything and places of interest and dining nearby. One fire log provided. Restaurants were within walking distance, but not many breakfast options. Market close by had sandwiches and burritos and opens at 7 am. Lowe’s across the street also had some options and their prices for the area were reasonable. No stoppers for the sink or tub, but a cap from a medicine bottle worked well lol. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area. Visited the nearby fort and a national parks pass covers entry. Then went up to the Black Bear for lunch. You can get a TX national park pass for there which gives you half off. 22 minutes to McDonald Observatory but unfortunately our Star party was cancelled due to cloud cover."

"Location was great, stay was you get what your pay for. I stayed here during a motorcycle road trip and it served its purpose. "

"Thanks"
