“Pulling off Highway 90 onto the property, it’s as if you’ve arrived to a town straight out of old western movie. Cacti line the streets and weathered wagon wheels rest against sand-colored buildings. Laid out like a village, the guest rooms are spread throughout the property, each feeling more like a spacious, boutique apartment rather than a standard hotel room.”

—Compass & Twine

The Maverick Inn is one of the oldest continuously operating motor lodges in the United States. Located on Highway 90 in Alpine, Texas, just across from Sul Ross State University, it’s long served as a launchpad for Big Bend adventurers and cross-country road-trippers. Former monikers include Camp Grandview, The Siesta Motel, and Grandview Courts.

Byways completed the purchase of the hotel in 2024, and plan to renovate the rooms, pool, and guest amenities to cater to the next generation of Southwest explorers.
