We stayed at Lost Alaskan in 2014 and 2015 and thought it was pretty decent. The laundry and showers were very clean. The workers were polite. Just don't expect a lot out of the town. If it wasn't for Sul Ross college there probably would not be much there. As it is, there is a good grocery, a couple of pharmacies a really good hardware store, about all you need. Alpine is about 6,000 population and sits at about 4,500 feet elevation. We like a little West Texas, high desert every once in a while. The last time we were out there in February it snowed about 2 inches shortly after we got there, but the snow was gone the next day. A week later they got 7 inches and the locals said it hadn't snowed that much in 25 years, but it was gone in 2 days. You can always check out Terlinqua on the way to Big Bend or check out the Marfa Prada store West of Marfa.
