The Holland Hotel

The Holland Hotel has a wonderful heritage and I have enjoyed past stays there. But it’s very tired these days and certainly not of the quality of the nearby Gage Hotel in Marathon or Paisano Hotel in Marfa. Still, the only true negative was the bartender who not only “forgot” to add tequila to our $8 margaritas but had an attitude that lacked either charm or cleverness, and can only be described as surly. Alas, good barkeeps must be hard to find these days.

The property is downtown and a great location central to shopping and dining. The room was clean and roomy for an old hotel. The staff was attentive and courteous. The housekeeping was the only issue for me as we stayed three nights and the room was never serviced due to the COVID restrictions. I had to go down to the lobby between 8 and 4 if I needed towels and coffee paraphernalia which was not really a big deal unless you go out for the day sightseeing and don’t get back until later.

Beautiful hotel! They take COVID precautions very seriously and we felt very safe there. Great staff. I plan on staying here anytime I'm in west Texas!

Not so good. Our first room was the size of a closet. The front desk moved us to a bigger room however at 3:55 we realized we needed towels. The time is important because after 4:00 there is no one at the front desk. We secured towels but received no room service at all. The Holland is open but your on your own.

Very nice older hotel. The reception person was not friendly at all, and the restaurant was closed the whole time we were there. We would go back but not in the first part of the week when everything is closed.

We have stayed here several times over the years. It is a modest but attractive historic hotel with handsome public spaces. They have cured the train and truck noise problem with excellent window sound proofing. Convenient to everything.

We had a nice stay and the staff were helpful and friendly. Our room overlooked the train track so several times each night very loud whistle would wake us up. The room was very nice other than the bath light fixture, which had one burned out bulb and mismatched colors on the others. Covid 19 rules were properly followed. The high quality historic construction was great. Will definitely stay here again.

Always a great stay, bummed the kitchen was closed after 2 on Sunday’s. Always happy to support the Holland during these times.

I just didn't think t was worth the money we paid and is a little run down in the rooms and bathrooms. It was clean and the bed was OK comfortable not great

The train kept us up all night long, there were four or five trains all night long. The hotel provides ear plugs but they are are no match for that train horn. The bathtub was dirty and had hair in it. The restaurant was so-so, we expected more from it based on the website.
