My husband recently spent 10 days riding motorcycles through Texas and had the opportunity to spend one evening in Marathon, TX with the good folks at The Gage Hotel. The hotel didn't have a vacancy, but there was room in The Captain Shepard House. Our room was perfectly appointed with a king sized iron bed and private bathroom. We even... More

Have been staying at this place for years. We always stay outside in the adobe structures and have held business meetings here before with our company. It is expensive and we expect that. You will have to be mindful of the trains that pass through Marathon as they blow their horns at the grade crossings. However, it seems like they... More

Stayed here several times in past years. Always pleasant and look forward to returning in the future. Courtyard rooms are easier to access but rooms in main building are also very nice. Staff is always friendly in a West Texas manner. Rooms are well equipped and very comfortable. Some have kiva fireplaces and private patios. Bar and restaurant are very... More

I travelled a great distance to visit this area and had read so much about the hotel. I loved it and appreciate the person or people that saved the place. My room didn't have a bathroom, t.v. Or phone and that's just right for my yearning of time travel. The bathroom down the hall was cleaner than most private bathrooms... More

The Gage Hotel in Marathon ,Texas is a jewel honoring Texas history and creating a place of serenity and wonder. I've been visiting the hotel for 20 years, and never has it been more beautiful. Big sky and wide open range surround the hotel, with much to explore and discover. One can stay plugged into the outside world of news... More

The outside of the hotel is beautiful, unlike anything I have seen and it is very close to Big Bend but for what they charge,with no in room television, rock hard beds and shared bathroom in my opinion not worth it!

This hotel is great! There is nothing to do in Marathon, so we only stayed one night. We went specifically to stay there and we loved it. We stayed in the courtyard are. The room was very nice size, the bed was great, the bathroom was lovely and the decor was perfect for the western theme. We ate at the... More

We stayed at hotels throughout the Big Bend area and ended our travels here at this very quaint hotel. We stayed in the Los Portales part of the hotel and the decor is just awesome. Grounds, room and pool was very clean. Bit pricey but for us worth it to round out our weekend. We ate dinner at The White... More

Big Bend National Park has been on my must see list for a long time. My wife and I arranged a trip there with two other couples with whom we have been friends for more than 40 years. One of the couples now lives in Texas and knew about the Gage Hotel. After spending several nights at the Chisos Mountain... More

The exterior and grounds are clean and attractive. The pool area and the landscaping are first class. Service was OK. Highlight was the 12 Gage restaurant and the White Buffalo Bar. Our Los Portales room was OK. The bed was comfortable, and the fireplace was a nice touch. On the downside we had to keep resetting the GFCI outlets as... More
