"The room was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful, and the night sky was gorgeous. I've never seen so many stars! We didn't get to enjoy the fireplace as the weather was too warm for a fire, but I bet it would have been cozy. Compared to other accommodations in the area, the price was very reasonable. I'd definitely recommend High Frontier."
"This is an old hotel but the upkeep leaves something to be desired. There were “ burrs” in the carpeting that clung to our socks and didn’t feel very good either!
The coffee in the lobby was the worst and depleted by 7:30. There were no cup covers for the coffee cups. "
"Easy to get from the hotel to Fort Davis and McDonald Observatory. Room was super comfortable with big bath area. I loved having the common areas to sit or fix some food."
"Our stay at the Drugstore Hotel was truly unique—an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything we saw in the photos came to life, and honestly, it was even better than we expected.
My son absolutely loved it—he said he would happily live there forever, playing games and enjoying every moment. That alone says so much about how special this place is.
We felt incredibly welcome throughout our stay, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax and fully enjoy our time as a family.
Highly, highly recommended! We will definitely be back and will book this place again on our next trip.
Thank you again for such a wonderful experience!"
