Business recently took me to Marathon, TX and I was dismayed by the lack of motels without the words "Motor Court" somewhere in the name. I stumbled on the Gage Hotel and was delighted to find such an oasis in the vast desert of blah that comprises this area. (Let me say here, had I been there to hike in... More

Outstanding, beautiful hotel. The birds in the courtyard outside the Los Portales rooms woke us in the morning. Comfortable room with great amenities. Convenient--relatively speaking--to Big Bend National Park.

Hotel moved us to a cabin as air conditioning in Gage room was not working. Cottage was out of the west. Clean, cool, and really interesting. Food was very good and bar was hopping with friendly people.

We visited the Gage Hotel with a group of 22 members of a Houston car club, which was taking advantage of the wonderful driving roads around Marathon and in the Big Bend National Park. Our group was lodged in the adobe buildings surrounding a center court. Each room and the courtyard are furnished with authentic and in many cases antique... More
