We have enjoyed staying at the Antelope Lodge due to it's closeness to central Alpine and due to the fact they have a real kitchenette with stove. We like to eat in sometimes and this is the best bet. The neighborhood is a bit down but we've never had any trouble except for one night with a barking dog in the trailer park next to the Lodge's property.

Stayed at this old-time motor lodge with my 13 year old Son. He hadn't seen many "motor lodges" before. The structures were dated, and the amenities are very simple or crude, but the price was reasonable and the personnel took interest to make sure we got everything we wanted and were satisfied. The bedding was very(very) simple, and although in some way uncomfortable we spent our days actively exploding so we crashed hard each night. There was a central ice machine for loading up the cooler before each day's travels (necessary it was about 100 degrees each day). The kitchen in the unit wasn't very usable, no cooler/refrigerator. My Son enjoyed the attached rock shop and they staff was very friendly, very patient, and helped teach him about mineralogy.

This quaint motel was built in 1949 and looks like it has been well maintained. If you are looking for what a motel looked like in the 40's and 50's or want to do a retrol trip then this is the place for you. They even have wifi and tv. Rates are fairly cheap for the area and the owners are actively onsite most of the business hours. We stayed with a car club and we took up the whole motel. Nice change of pace!

I really wanted to love this place because it is charming and relaxing around the courtyard, and I like places that are a bit different. And I did love it, at least until we tried to get some sleep. It wasn't that it was too loud but the bed was just sooo bad. I think this bed might have been around since the beginning because it was so squishy and lumpy. These were two of the most sleepless nights I've had from a not so good bed in a long time.
If a comfortable bed is not high on your priority list then this place should be fine. It is quiet, clean and has plenty of hot water for showers. The rooms are small and dated, but in good condition and clean. But just beware the bed may be very uncomfortable (and bring your own pillow unless you like lumpy). People are very nice here too.
