The Holland is a renovated historical hotel located in the heart of Alpine. We had eaten lunch there on our last trip to Big Bend and thought it would be an interesting place to stay. We were right! There is no longer a restaurant but we were told the new owners are going to open one. They do serve a complimentary, hot, filling, wonderful breakfast buffet – sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, biscuits, gravy, tortillas, refried beans, salsa, cereals, toast, juice, coffee, etc.
We were in Room 203 which was a large Junior-King-Bed Suite with a large sofa and small bathroom. The bed was extremely comfortable with wonderful linens. Ear plugs were provided for the train noise, but we heard only one train before retiring, so we didn’t use them.
The only downside of this stay was at check-out. The clerk had his small, yapping, sniffing dog up on the counter. That was no place for a dog as not everyone “loves” other people’s dogs in their face. I had even read that the hotel did not allow dogs, but he must have been an exception. Other than that, this is an excellent hotel and we will definitely stay there again when traveling to Big Bend National Park.
