Fort Davis Drug Store Hotel

Fort Davis Drug Store Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Old wooden building, so floors to rooms upstairs creaked. Only a few rooms (six, I think) on the upper floor. The Drug Store downstairs itself is closed (and currently for sale), so no breakfast. HOWEVER, the store was furnished with a full pool table, table tennis, and foosball, plus all the furnishings of the business. With only ourselves and one other guest this time, we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Upper floor also had a very nice community room with couches, games and tables, a phonograph with vinyl records, tea/coffee service. Again, with so few people staying, it was a luxurious experience. Modern (and quiet) air conditioning system in comfortable, large bedrooms. Access was a bit strange. No staff on site, so entry was by coded electronic lock on side door. Prior owner/manager communication gives you the code and instructions."
