Great place to stay

This was our first visit to Ft. Davis. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mountainside Inn. Our room was very clean and comfortable and the beds were very good. The inn is in a great location to access the national park as well as the downtown area. We will stay there again.

3 nights at Mountainside Inn

It is not easy to find a good place to stay in Fort Davis but we found a gem in the Mountainside Inn. The Bed was comfortable and the Inn is close to services in the town. My Wife and I recommend it. We stayed for 3 nights.

Overall a nice place to stay however the parking lot was very rough and unpaved and could be dangerous for someone who is older or handicapped. They text at 7:00 a.m. containing instructions on checking out was a little too early. Otherwise it was a nice day and the community kitchen and dining area didn't present a problem.

Did not like parking lot on side. Wasn’t handicap friendly. And too many ruts and dark at night. Liked room except for kid size toilet and no seat in shower. Common area very usable and whole facility very clean.

Disliked: Staff & service
I'm not sure if something has happened here recently regarding management but there was absolutely no presence during our stay. The front door key code was low on battery so we couldn't self check in (luckily the cleaner was onsite), and while the room was clean and comfortable, it wasn't quite what we were expecting - it felt more like a shared Airbnb than an Inn! We found the communal kitchen somewhat confusing as there was food lying about that didn't seem to belong to any of the other guests but wasn't sure if we could help ourselves. Ft Davis is quaint but felt somewhat neglected off season.
