This place was amazing. We arrived at 2 am and got in no problem. The beds were incredible. I took photos of the tags so i could buy them myself. Also the seating areas we so charming. Sad the restaurant isn't open anymore but good on the property for maintaining history.

Cute place with access to pool table, table tennis & other little games right down stairs. Only issue we noticed is the floors are all wooden & creak with every step, walls are thin as well. Definitely a fun experience!

Rooms with east facing windows (even # rooms 2-4-6) have nice views out the window. The other side has windows but nothing to see but the wall of the building next door. We were first in room 4, which was great, but then had to move to room 3 with no view, a missing lamp shade and a funky smell in the bathroom with a bathroom fan that made a ton of noise but didn’t actually move air.
The downstairs game room is GREAT!

We were just passing through and only stayed one night, but this was such a cute place! The instructions for accessing the property were clear and easy to follow, and there were so many great amenities, including a coffee bar and a game area.

It is an older building, so you can hear quite a bit, footsteps, creaking floors, and other sounds. If you’re a light sleeper, that may be something to keep in mind. As a heavy sleeper, though, I didn’t mind at all and actually felt it added to the property’s charm.

The bed was incredibly comfortable, and after eleven hours on the road, it was so nice to walk into a room that was already cool and comfortable. We wish we could have stayed longer, but we’ll definitely plan to come back in the future!

This was an amazing jewel in the desert of Texas! The AC was cold! The TV played Netflix. We had our own private bathroom and shower. The rooms were large in size so 4 people were able to stay easily in one room. The location downtown was great! We went next door to eat dinner at the bar and grill that was tasty. It is only 2 blocks from the courthouse and they had a festival with food trucks and music.

Ok, so I don't know how to describe this hotel. There is NO STAFF. You are given a code to enter the building and the key to your room is in your room when you walk in . The room itself was clean and had all the amenities listed, the beds were comfortable, the a/c took a bit to try and figure out (not sure if it worked properly- but it cooled us enough). The wifi to the TV - was not working, but it did work for phones. The crazy thing is - the first floor used to be a restaurant, now it is closed but has a pool table, fuzz ball, ping pong table for patrons to use. It is kind of eery. The stairs to go up to your room are very narrow and steep, especially for older folks. As mentioned in another review, the floor boards are loud and creak with every step. The second floor consists of a living room area and an area with tables, I guess if you decide to eat there (bring your own food) - you can. Overall, I don't think I'd stay there again. The town itself is VERY small, not much to do here, I don't mean to be rude, but this place is good if you are passing through for the night, visiting the McDonald Observatory or the historical site itself.

Wow! Unique, full of character, and great location! Plenty of games and board games to keep the kids occupied, especially since most of the town and surrounding towns close early. Our room was wonderful, clean, smelled great, and the beds and pillows were so comfortable! The squeaky floors added to the delight of this place! Would absolutely stay here again! Traveled with children and they loved it!

This was a fun and interesting place to stay. There wasn’t any staff there, so it was private. Down side of that, was we didn’t have clean linens or restock of coffee etc. We would have liked to play darts, but there weren’t any darts. We played pool for a while, but didn’t have any chalk. The records and player were great upstairs. With it being an older building, the floor was very creaky.
We enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful time!

This is a hard place to rate, because it's really such a unique property. Everything generally was great but the NOISE from the floor. If everyone in your party doesn't wake up at the same time, then don't plan on getting out of bed. It's a really old property and the noise the floor makes is crazy loud. TV options were great, activities downstairs were fun, generally quit in the building, easy parking. Our lights flickered a lot (we just said it was haunted). The shower never stopped leaking. But again, it's a really old place so you gotta expect some of those things. I'd say it was a fun experience. The bed was comfortable. I'd just be mindful of the noise the floor makes in our room was very disruptive to everyone sleeping. A lot of the town seemed to be closed and being sold which was sad. We found a few nice places and mostly toured auxiliary to the town, but it was worth the weekend visit!

Cutest little historic hotel! We loved walking the town - ate delicious pizza next door! Cant comment on the staff as we didnt need them. Instructions to get in the hotel were simple. The kids loved all the games to play. I believe there was one or two other guest rooms occupied..we slept soundly! Easy to find the roll away bed with extra linens.

The air conditioning was good, the parking was somewhat off. The primary complaint is that the rooms were up a very steep double set of stairs which would be okay if my husband was not 85 (with recently rebuilt knees) and I were not 76 and have some slight breathing problems.

Our stay at the Drugstore Hotel was truly unique—an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything we saw in the photos came to life, and honestly, it was even better than we expected.

My son absolutely loved it—he said he would happily live there forever, playing games and enjoying every moment. That alone says so much about how special this place is.

We felt incredibly welcome throughout our stay, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax and fully enjoy our time as a family.

Highly, highly recommended! We will definitely be back and will book this place again on our next trip.

Thank you again for such a wonderful experience!

The hotel's floors squeaks badly. It someone was walking in their room other rooms could hear. No one on site to help anyone. We thought there was a restaurant downstairs and it was closed. We were looking for the old soda shop vibe. I think the hotel did not advertise correctly. Other than that Fort Davis is a great place.

We were unable to check in because the owners did NOT send the access code to their property. I emailed in advance (3 days prior) to confirm and was told they would send the code the day of checkin at 8 AM. It did not arrive. I sent another email, still no response. By the time we arrived at 5 PM, again nothing. There were 2 numbers to call. One was posted on the door and when we called we were told it was no longer in service. The other phone number we called the mailbox was full. We had no recourse except to drive to another town and pay for another night at a hotel. The Fort Davis people did not respond until 7 PM that evening via an email to say they had no reservation for us which we clearly did..

Loved this place! Super comfortable bedding—maybe the nicest I’ve ever had at a hotel. Our family loved all of the extra fun offered and enjoyed killing time in the lounges playing pool, foosball, and board games between our excursions to the observatory and parks. So nice that all this was offered for free. We also loved the glass bottle sodas for sale on the honor system at the old soda fountain. Would be great if frozen treats or other snacks were offered the same way. Maybe a QR code payment system so as to not have too much cash laying around up for grabs? Such a cool step back in time to show our kids though!

The room was spacious and quiet, the bed comfortable, a comfortable bench at the foot of the bed. It has a table and 2 chairs but they are high and the table small. There is no desk or other table for a laptop. Nice tv and channels. The bathroom is fine, tub shower. Nice large bath towels. There is service only if you call. The floor creeks. Be aware that the rooms are on the 2nd floor and there are MANY steps though they are deep and sturdy . The owner has set up a unique digital lock system to enter the building. Be sure to keep the directions handy on your phone. Parking on the Main Street was not a problem.

Hotel smells like something died. Run away.

The hotel is upstairs, and the smell downstairs was horrible. It smelled like something had died. I tried emailing the support email, but did not receive a reply. I emailed the email address in the room, but the email rejected. We stayed the first night because we arrived late and could not find another place to stay. The hotel is self check-in & out.
