Our room was spacious and overlooked the pool. Hotel is extremely dog friendly! Reasonable room rates and comfortable bed. Parking onsite and street parking available. Pool looked lovely. Multiple areas to socialize and gather. Lots of history and cool art. We loved the onsite shopping/boutiques! Great for souvenirs and unique West Texas finds. We will always plan to stay here when we visit Marfa!

I chose Hotel Paisano over another hotel in Marfa because the other property's website clearly…read morestated, in all capital letters, that there was no elevator. Accessibility and mobility concerns were a factor in our decision, and Hotel Paisano's website gave no indication that its elevator was out of service. Upon arrival, we were informed that the elevator was not working and would not be repaired during our stay. Every guest room requires climbing at least one flight of stairs, making this a significant issue for anyone with mobility limitations. What was most disappointing was not just the outage itself, but the fact that it was never disclosed before our arrival. We were also told at check-in that the restaurant was closed for renovations and no food service would be available. One of the reasons I selected this hotel was because the restaurant menu looked more appealing than those offered by other hotels in town. Again, this information was not communicated in advance. We were informed that the bar would remain open until 3 p.m. each day. However, when we visited around noon on Saturday, we were told we could not order drinks because the space was being reserved for a private party later that evening. That same party continued until 10 pm and the noise was loud enough to be clearly heard from our room. The party guests extended into the pool area. Event attendees were allowed to use the pool, and guests in formal attire were jumping into the water fully clothed. While that may have been entertaining for those attending the event, it created an atmosphere that felt more like a private venue rental than a hotel serving paying guests who were expecting a quiet and relaxing stay. The guests were also taking photos with a very bright flash camera. Every flash penetrated through both the sheer and formal sets of curtains in our room and made relaxing and sleeping impossible. Any one of these issues might have been manageable had they been disclosed before booking. Instead, guests were left to discover them only after arrival. I was particularly troubled by the apparent lack of concern regarding guests with mobility challenges. When a property has no practical access to guest rooms except by stairs due to an inoperable elevator, that information should be communicated prominently before a reservation is made so travelers can make informed decisions based on their needs. The hotel seems to rely heavily on its historic reputation and charm, but historic character should not come at the expense of transparency, accessibility, or guest service. The elevator outage, restaurant closure, restricted bar access, and late-night private event created an experience that felt far different from what was advertised.

I have been fortunate enough to stay at the Hotel St George since the year it was built, and I am…read moregrateful that the hotel continues to resemble a 5 star establishment. From checking in, which was extremely efficient, to the care exhibited by those working the St George, the establishment is both friendly and welcoming. The rooms are well taken care of; we stay in the Highland Suite, a gorgeous room with a great view. The cleaners respond quickly to the sort of cleaning you'd like, from green to a full clean, and the rooms are spacious. My wife wanted to take the mattress and pillows home, and the art lining the walls is stunning. We had a great view, big picture windows, and for those of you who enjoy relaxing in front of the television, our room has TWO! But we barely had the time to watch television because of the pool and fitness room, both tied to the hotel. The pool is huge and there's a hot tub to die for. The Hotel St George is the perfect get away spot, but be careful; you might run into Will Ferrell or Wes Anderson: this is the hotel that luminaries like Kevin Bacon stay in when filming shows such as I LOVE DICK. I love the Hotel St George and I'm sure you will too.

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.

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...

We paid the additional pet fees. They then charged us an additional $300 because our dog chewed a hole in the cheap top blanket. They claim there were scratches on the floor from our dogs - which was absolutely a lie. They also waited a full day after we checked out to even call about this. Scammy and will do anything to charge you triple what you paid for the room. And what does the pet fees cover???? How are you going to allow pets and then say there's scratches on the floor?? Be so serious. Scam of a hotel, worst customer service. They also state on their website that they charge up to $250 for pet damages and yet they charged us $300! Straight up lying and scamming activity.

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.

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.

My amazing girlfriends planned my bachelorette in Marfa and could not have imagined a better apt to spend time disconnecting from the world and reconnecting with all of them. They provided cots since there were more than 4 of us at the house. At 3800 sqft, not sure why the capacity would only be for 4 people! Beds were comfy, towels from Sferra were very soft, malin and goetz shower supply was fabulous, and the tile in the showers was gorgeous along with the natural light beaming through the skylights of each bathroom. There is a gate that blocks you at the top of the long set of stairs to the apt. You share the building with an Andy Warhol exhibit and the best restaurant, Stellina. Pictures do not do this place justice. Thank you El Cosmico for providing lots of different and cute/modern options for all different group sizes! I'll be sure to recommend you to anyone who is lucky enough to go to Marfa :)
