3 months agoThe Gage Hotel in Marathon, Texas, is a refined West Texas retreat that balances historic character with understated luxury. The property blends adobe architecture, desert landscaping, and thoughtfully restored 1920s charm with modern comforts. Rooms are well-appointed, quiet, and comfortable—ideal after a long day exploring Big Bend National Park. The on-site 12 Gage Restaurant consistently delivers excellent food and service. The landscaped courtyard and pool area provide a relaxed, intimate atmosphere that fits the surrounding desert landscape. Service is attentive without being intrusive. If you’re looking for a distinctive, upscale base for exploring the region, the Gage Hotel is an exceptional choice.

2 months agoThe rooms have no tv. Owners request? We heard several other couples complain and laugh about that at the hotels restaurant. We like having the choice of wether we watch tv or not. There is a minimal breakfast offered at the hotel desk area. Muffin and coffee. Didn’t see any other options in town. The bed was comfortable, along with the pillows.

7 months agoMyself and my 14 year old son stayed here for two nights in mid October as a base camp for seeing Big Bend. They were so busy this time of year that we stayed in one room one night and another for the second. The first night we were in the main building (Room 9). It was beautifully appointed, spacious, and comfortable. We had no issues with noise. They very graciously had housekeeping move our luggage into the new room (Los Portales #26) for the second night while we were in the Park. Sadly because of our packed schedule we didn’t get to enjoy most of the hotel offerings other than the fire pit the first night. We met some lovely guests who’d been coming to The Gage for over 40 years. It’s clear this is a very special place. I cannot wait to return with my husband and spend much longer so we can take full advantage of the restaurants, bar, and spa.

5 months agoA charming hotel I stumbled upon during my final stretch into Big Bend from Houston! Really beautiful and clean hotel from my short visit. Bookmarking so I can suggest this as a place to stay--thanks to the lovely staff and kitty that make this place special.
