    Pool - unheated
    Trina W.

    I knew going in this was a historical hotel so I wasn't expecting brand new fancy fixtures, furniture and amenities. Which is good because for thr price we paid I would have been disappointed like many others. It was nice to stay once because of the history and being a big fan of the movie Giant. That being said, there was a funky smell upon arrival. A half drank Gatorade bottle on the floor next to the bed, cracked tiles with a poor patch job, a stain on the top blanket and dirty glasses and mugs. But we didnt let it spoil our trip. I appreciated that there was a small mini fridge in the closet. The rooms are small but we were mostly there just to sleep so that was fine with us. I also like thay they have towels already down at the pool. The pool is not heated and even though it was quite warm outside it was freezing! No breakfast or room service, which in my opinion would make the cost worth it. There was however, coffee in the morning downstairs and a few prepackaged muffins. Hotel is beautiful. Elevator was broken and apparently has been for some time but its only a flight of stairs. Glad we got to experience once.

    Historic hotel in the center of it all! Wander through and see the pictures from the movie, Giant. We Had drinks in the bar to watch the game , but the outdoor patio is adorable. There was also a TV in the bar area so we could catch the Red River Rivalry game. There is a sizable gift shop on the first floor filled with art gallery space and Knick knacks to buy.

    Imagine,the year,1956,the town Marfa Texas,the Hotel Paisano. The Filming of the movie Giant is scheduled to start filming soon. Then one by one, James Dean,Rock Hudson Elisabeth Taylor and others start checking into the beautiful Historic Hotel Paisano. What a time that must have been.

    Very vintage vibes! If you're into old Hollywood and the movie Giant, then def the place for you. I personally don't love an antique hotel, but if you do this is certainly the place for you. Inside was a bit dated, but again, got the description. Went to Jet's Grill both nights I stayed and the food was impressive! Loved the chicken fried steak.

    Unless you live in Texas or have business at the border, you never will visit the town of Marfa or the Hotel Paisano. I spent 5 nights at Hotel Paisano. The nights were quiet, and dark. Each morning at 6 I went downstairs for a cup of coffee then drove for an hour during sunrise to Presidio. From there I was transported across the border to Ojinaga. Because of a confluence of circumstances, the entire week was a practice in mindfulness. The hotel is where the cast of the motion picture Giant stayed during filming in 1955. This is only a part of what makes it special. It won't try to describe the nuance and gravitas of Paisano, but it's worth mentioning that the mural-sized pictures of the cast and crew that are everywhere are magnetic; Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean and Rock Hudson. The photo of James Dean in the hotel bar could have been taken last week. Timeless. An amazing portrait of him having fun with Elizabeth Taylor, except there is no way to know Elizabeth Taylor is even in the picture unless one has studied the rest of the images around the hotel. It struck me. The picture was taken in July 1955. In September that same year - less than 90 days later, Dean was killed in a car crash in California. Be present. Fun fact... James Dean was a few months older than Elizabeth Taylor. They were contemporaries.

    After much anticipation and research of The Giant, we were so excited to arrive after a stop In Junction overnight on our way from Houston. I learned to slow down a bit and relax. We arrived for our reservations for two at the thanksgiving buffet at 12:30 on Thursday 2022. It was set up beautifully! Great staff at check-in to check-out. Rooms were clean with fresh towels and toiletries. The numerous gift shops are so cool and offer such a variety! I love the large photos of the filing of The Giant. So cool knowing James Dean was in room 223 and I am also here!

    Quaint, timeless design. Furniture is not in line with style of hotel. Too modern and honestly, too cheap for the space. Staff is excellent, super helpful and welcoming. The guys at the front desk are the best. The wifi was not working at all most of the time when we were there. It was a busy festival weekend, but it was very frustrating, since we were counting on it. Overall, a nice experience in west Texas, just not quite the accommodations we were expecting.

    AMAZING! Slice of history. Great service with just enough eccentricity. I loved the GOOD coffee in the lobby...the shops on the first floor. The central location. The charm. The "Old Money" feel. It is THE place for an old Texas, bougie experience. Guys: Do NOT bring your girlfriend here unless you want to get married. Also...AVOID the restaurant.

    Perfect location, super cute historic hotel. We found easy, free street parking and checked in quickly. All staff were wearing masks. The receptionist saw that it was our wedding anniversary and upgraded our room to a larger room with a private patio and fireplace which was very nice. We were on our 25 year wedding anniversary trip to the Big Bend area. The room and bed was comfortable. There was a mini fridge, coffee maker, full bathroom, and the typical room appointments. The alarm clock was from the 1980s and was making weird static noises so I ultimately unplugged it. The extractor fan in the bathroom was not healthy and when I turned it on, it made so much noise it sounded like it would break any moment. The shower was nice and the soap, shampoo and conditioner was nice. I loved the old school, historic vibe of the hotel. It was a lovely patio, lobby, and shopping area. The location is ideal with walking around the town. The restaurant we had dinner at was very good, Jett's Grill. We were seated on the patio, make reservations! We also got breakfast tacos (which ended up being a burrito) which was good and huge! We would definitely stay here again!

    This place is a true throwback to the good times. Everything was kept to the tee! Service is a 5 star. Can't go wrong with humble and kind staff who feel like old friends. Room is a 5 star with the cleanliness, toiletries, fireplace on the patio and plushy bed. There isn't a phone in the rooms either. Learn to unplug. Food is delicious. The restaurant has a nice menu and variety of fancy and comfort. Remember to check when they are open because some places are only open on certain days (1 of 3 kind of fancier places in town) The town itself is so soo cool. Art and Instagrammable moments everywhere. The water tower, the old buildings, railroads, museums, the cactus, the old charm, newish and oldish hotels and local places around down. My favs is The Get Go grocery (1 of 2 only places in town) A must stay! Loved it here will be back.

I love their video tour by David Politzer from 2022. In fact, the only things I didn't love were their map and outdoor displays that needed maintenance or repair. The map lacked key details and was a bit confusing. There were several uprooted signs, at least one overturned bench, and exterior paint wearing. Otherwise, it's a very cool place. Clean women's restrooms. Bottle refill station inside the visitor's center. In 2023, the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center celebrated its 50th year anniversary, so it definitely deserves constant maintenance. Open: Mon. - Sat. 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Closed on Sunday. Very nice lady at the front desk. She only charged me half price since we got there at 4 p.m. My kids and dog were free. Admission Fees ADULTS $6.50 CHILDREN 12 & UNDER FREE MEMBERS FREE SRSU STUDENTS $3.25 DOGS ARE WELCOME FREE My dog loved it here. A little rocky, but not many issues with stickers and weeds as long as you adhere to the trails. No dogs allowed in the Cactus Museum Collection. They're having their succulent sale on March 10, 2025 from 9 am - 5 pm. For more information, go to https://www.cdri.org/

The botanical gardens is very nice with a significant collection of native desert plants. All are very well labeled.

Definitely worth stopping by.

When I flip back the sheets all the way back just to make sure I wasn't leaving anything behind, I came across dirty stain sheets that look like blood stains and there was grit on my sheets. Looks like the sheets haven't been changed. So of course I did bring it to the front desk clerk attention. And I told him I took pictures of it as well , asked if he wanted to see them he said no that's okay that he would tell the manager. Since I book through booking.com the hotel said they weren't able to refund my money because of that reason and finding out through booking.com called the Hotel, the general manager to let them know, and was told I never complained.

For example, they have a snack/beer/wine reception on weekdays from 5-7pm. It's nothing fancy, but it's the thought that counts! The pool is great too. I love swimming but there's always a part of me that cringes when I first put my toe in the water and feel how cold it is. Not here! The water was super warm in the pool (90?) and the hot tub was even warmer. Another touch that shows care from the owner - they added 3 turtle mosaics on the pool floor. Even at breakfast, I felt the extra TLC - more yogurt options than most Holiday Inns, and an egg white omelette option for those trying to eat healthier. We were able to stay here twice on our trip to/from Big Bend, and I'm so glad we did!

Bathroom was smaller than the coffin I usually use for daytime naps. But I digress. Small bathroom. Seriously. An afterthought. The Lincoln is a "nobody is going to be here to help you" Hotel. You just get the code to the room or it is simply open. No manager on site which was weird. I think I didn't like that. Oh, no on site parking. Street only. No food or snacks or restaurant on premises. BUT they had real coffee in the room which was a real bonus. I think Abraham was not a tea drinker. Easy to find place but be advised to bring any vittles you want or you could get very hungry as places close early Over all, a nice comfortable expensive place.
