My wife and I and our 3-month old baby boy stayed at The Gage Hotel in October 1990.... at the time the accommodation was "authentic" - a real carryover from old-time Texas. Our visit to Marathon was serendipitous, unexpected, and very enjoyable. It happened to be one of the most memorable hotel stays of our lives. One day we hope to make a return trip.

Gage Hotel is a wonderful experience. A bit old fashioned but that spotlights the history of the hotel.
Friendly staff that are there to make your stay a wonderful place.
Housekeeping was great.
Hotel has many areas in the hotel, outside on the grounds, the fire pit or pool to relax and enjoy your stay.
Restaurants and coffee shops nearby.
We stay each time we go to Big Bend. It's peaceful, great staff, they loaned us an oscillating fan and the nice thing is no TV in the rooms. This makes you actually talk to people. Even the people staying there are friendly and conversational. The hotel has a Texas flair to it. If you eat at thier restaurant get the Buffalo burger or sliders as they are really good. Say hello to thier kitty Squeaks. Great cat. Very friendly. We will come back again when we go to Big Bend again. The nacho plate is huge. Feeds 4 people easily. The night sky is great in Marathon if you are not in the park.
An interesting getaway to stay in an historic hotel with a rich history. The rooms are comfortable. The staff was very accommodating. The food was amazin, and the portions large so come hungry.
I stayed at the Gage after a girls camping trip to Big Bend! Check in was not smooth and the lady working was not the kindest. The rooms were beautiful, beds were cozy and the salt water pool is to die for. What turned the service around was Larry. Larry went above and beyond. He allowed to store breast milk in the fridge and did not bat an eye. Helped me find playing cards and answered all of our questions. He turned around a rocky start and made the world of difference in our stay.
