    The Lincoln Marfa

    If you ever get hankerin' to see an invented art town, Marfa is the place. And you must stay for a…read morecouple of days to see all the art and artists. And if you stay in Marfa, the Lincoln is a cute, very funky place to stay. The rooms are like Casitas and each one is different. Mine was huge, with two TVs and a big living room with a full kitchen. 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. Next time, if ever, I'm going to try the St. George which is like a normal hotel.

    The Lincoln is a "boutique courtyard hotel and lodging community" in Marfa, TX…read more After searching for dog-friendly hotels, I deployed Airbnb for assistance for one-night stay on 2.16.2025. Lincoln is "contactless, self-check in, booked exclusively online." The property includes "four communal courtyards, featuring desert gardens, fire pits, a soaking tank, modern fish pond and bocce ball court." We stayed in room #1: Deluxe Queen Suite - Pet-Friendly Subtotal USD 169.75 Deposit USD 199.50 Processing Fee USD 6.79 City Tax USD 12.36 State Hotel Tax USD 10.60 Amount Paid USD 199.50 Major pitfalls: - mold/water damage on kitchen floors - limited air temperature control Key highlights: + text message updates + old-fashioned radio turned on & tuned into the local FM "pirate station" + Check-in: 3:00 PM & Check-out: 11:00 AM For more info, visit thelincolnmarfa.com.

    Great hotel. Stayed one night, but it was very comfortable, clean, quiet…read more Wife n I got a laugh out of the earplugs by the bedside for people who aren't used to hearing the occasional train, but while the intersection is like kinda basically on the same block, it's a big nothingburger. Heard it only once and it's quieter than one in our hometown. But, the earplugs were a nice gesture. The hotel has an aesthetic that fits right into Marfa, minimalism, nice art all about, more geometric forms than you can shake a stick at! We didn't get to use the pool 'cuz we forgot our suits, but we went to check it out and it was fantastic, we'll make sure to pack them next time! The pool's large, pretty decor with a bar and hottub, areas for shade, areas for sun. Very nice. Highly recommended all 'round.

    Stayed at Hotel Saint George in Marfa and overall had a decent experience, but with a few quirks…read moreworth noting. First, the positives. The linens and bedding were so good--super comfortable and cozy (Hi, Marfa brand I think?). Honestly, I wanted to take them home with me... if anyone knows where to buy them online, let me know. The Aesop bath products were also a big plus, though they accidentally had the hand soap in the shower and the body wash at the sink--and since they're locked in, there's no swapping them. Minor detail, but a little funny. Rooms themselves are large, open, and feel spacious, which I appreciated. Now for the downsides. The biggest issue was noise. You can hear pretty much everything--people walking above, talking next door, doors constantly slamming. Not ideal if you're hoping for a quiet, restful stay. The lighting in the room was also a bit lacking--definitely could've used an extra lamp or two to warm things up. The overall design is nice but starting to feel a little dated... kind of like a W Hotel refresh from around 2015 that hasn't been touched since. And the bathroom sink... I don't know what's going on there, but without any kind of filter on the spout, the water splashes everywhere. I somehow ended up with a wet shirt and pants just from washing my hands. A couple other things to note: the restaurant and bar seem to close early (around 9:30), and when we were heading out at 10, nothing was open--so not sure if they offer breakfast or coffee in the morning. If not, that feels like a missed opportunity. All that said, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and for a small town like Marfa with limited options, it's still a solid choice. Would I stay again? Probably. Would I call it luxury? Meh.

    I was on a road trip from L.A. to Houston and planned particular stops at different mineral…read moresprings along the way in CA, NM, and West Texas (Big Bend). West Texas is vast, so decided to stay in Marfa for 3 nights. The weather in March is unpredictable, ie can swing from cold to hot so searched for a place w/a pool. Found the Thunderbird Hotel which ticked all my boxes: clean, modern, comfy bed, phthalate-free soaps and body products and nicely appointed intentional design details. The pool is unheated and I didn't end up using it but did enjoy watching TV at night in the Guest Lounge which also has a microwave, mini fridge, bathroom facilities, a comfy sectional couch and a selection of board games. It's about a 15 min. walk into town. March is off-season for this area but found a number of wonderful places to eat or drink: Bordos, Planet Marfa, Jett's Grill... Also got a tour of Building 98, an essential soak in Langford Hot Springs at Big Bend, a quick visit to Prada Marfa, the Judd Fdn, and other galleries around town. Angela is the manager and was huge help on getting me settled into my room (the hotel has a remote key system for checking in). The one thing I think all hotels could improve upon, including Thunderbird, is adding hooks for backpacks, purses, jackets, etc. and/or drawers or shelving so that all your stuff is not just sitting on the floor. It's West Texas, so expect insects or bugs...

    Great manager at the front desk. She was really nice and helpful. The rooms were nice and simple…read more The bathroom was big and clean. No TV but we encountered that in many places around Big Bend.

    Marfa House - Master bathroom

    Marfa House stands as if untouched by time, its facade echoing the rugged "Wild West" character it…read morefirst wore more than 130 years ago. From the outside, it feels like a preserved relic of the 19th century--but step through the doors and the illusion gives way. Inside, the past moves to the present, revealing a bright, modern boutique hotel where clean design and contemporary touches transform the space into something entirely unexpected. Our stay at Marfa House was nothing short of delightful, offering the kind of comfort and space that immediately puts you at ease. We booked the Bandelero Suite, and it felt far more like a thoughtfully designed apartment than a typical hotel room. With two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a small living area, and access to a balcony, it provided more than enough room for our family of four to spread out and relax. The primary suite featured a cozy queen bed and private bath, while the second bedroom--equipped with two doubles that could be combined--offered flexibility and comfort, even with its more compact bathroom. What truly elevated the experience was the fully equipped kitchen, complete with a full-size refrigerator, stove, microwave, and dishwasher, everything you'd need to settle in for more than just a short stay. It had all the creature comforts of home, making it easy to imagine lingering a little longer. Even small touches stood out: when we realized an iron and ironing board weren't in the room, the staff promptly delivered one and kindly pointed us to extra towels available nearby, adding to the welcoming, low-key hospitality. Its location made it an ideal home base for exploring Marfa and beyond, with easy drives to landmarks like the film location for the iconic movie "Giant" staring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson and James Dean. Down the road was, the iconic Prada Marfa, and to the east is the McDonald Observatory, and Balmorhea State Park. While it may not carry the same historic prestige as Hotel Paisano or the sleek edge of Hotel Saint George, Marfa House has a charm all its own--modern, comfortable, artistic, and refreshingly affordable. It's the kind of place you don't just stay in--you genuinely enjoy living in, even if only for a few days.

    5 stars is my rating to Marfa House in Marfa Texas. I was looking for a place for a 1 night stay in…read moreMarfa Texas when I found the web site to Marfa House. Not finding reviews for this place I was not sure what to expect. Marfa House is a 3 story building that has been transformed into a place with several individual bedrooms with private bathrooms. Some with balconies. There is a common area with a fire pit and TV by the back entrance that is very enjoyable. And there is also a large living room with a nice sofa chairs and a small high top table to sit and eat or chat, play games or just enjoy. Sonya is the host that does the booking and handles the needs of the guests and she does a GREAT job at meeting the needs of guests. Roger is the owner, and he has a personality as big as TEXAS with a heart to match. Husband and I were lucky to meet and talk to Roger. I highly recommend Marfa House as a great place to stay in Marfa Texas. Please follow the house rules and park according, remove shoes in room and mind quiet hours.
