The…read morenext day I was visiting shops and needed to go to the restroom and remembered the one in the lobby of the George, right past Hey I Like It Here. I've been visiting Marfa for over ten years and each time it seems more commercialized, crowded, and expensive. This shop is typical of the higher end businesses populating Marfa but they had some nice items such as face and hair masks, candles, t-shirts and a fun assortment of unique soft and hard beverages. I felt guilty about only using the bathroom since I wasn't a hotel guest so I bought a hair mask and pretty silk printed bandana (made in Portland). Unlike many of the other places in Marfa, HILIH was actually open on a Wednesday afternoon. Most businesses we tried to visit were closed even though they advertised themselves as being open. This wasn't totally surprising since Marfa mostly caters to weekend visitors. Service was friendly and accommodating.

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.

The staff were a bit overwhelmed but they stayed calm and friendly. We were a party of two and were seated immediately at an outdoor table next to the fountain. It's a very nice patio that was nicely lit by the hotel lights as it got darker. Our waitress was very friendly and greeted us when she came to our table. My wife ordered the pecan crusted salmon, which she said was very good. It was a large portion of nicely-cooked salmon. I ordered two items from the appetizer menu - bacon wrapped quail and kale beet salad. Both were very large portions, plenty for a meal or maybe even 2 people. There were about 6 pieces of quail and a moderately spicy aioli. It was very good. The kale beet salad was also delicious. We also had a piece of chocolate mousse cake, that was delicious. Nice and chocolatey but not overly sweet or rich. Even though the restaurant was crowded, our service was great. Our waitress was always friendly, checked on us often enough, and took the time to chat briefly without seeming harried. The food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. Our total check was about $75 plus tip. Not inexpensive but worth it for the food, service and ambience.

If you have never heard of the movie, that is a lot of their problem. The hotel and restaurant are resting on their laurels from a movie from the 1950s. If you took a date to see Giant when it first came out, you probably need food you can gum. We were here two years ago and had a good experience so we came back and were sorely disappointed. Service was appallingly slow because there was one waitress (who was great) for the entire restaurant and patio. There was one bartender. Very short-staffed. We had drinks and chips and salsa on the patio before moving inside for dinner. Entrees on the menu were chicken and veggie burgers (no beef?) and chicken was out. The other entrees were the pistachio-crusted steak (basically fancy chicken fried steak) and a ribeye. They were out of the pistachio-crusted steak. So, it was a veggie burger or a ribeye. No chicken dishes, no fish, no pasta. A frozen veggie burger or a $45 ribeye. We started with a a charcuterie board which was tasty but not very generous. The ribeyes were served on mashed potatoes and very good, but there was no vegetable, no bread - just steak and potatoes. I don't mind the price of the steak but part of that price is service and if there is one server for an entire restaurant and the patio, the service is not going to be that good, and it wasn't. Drinks were not refilled, dessert wasn't offered (they might have been out!), so it was eat and run. So, staffing issues, inventory management issues and a restaurant that had a number of customers to serve so they should do better. Much better.

We stayed warm too! Loved sitting out on our little porch/deck to watch the stars. The main office area also has a shop and place to sit and eat, etc. They've got a bar and outdoor patio (all communal) as well. Showering outdoors (common bathrooms are a very basic outdoor shelter) definitely added to the primitive aspect of staying here. It was a wonderful experience and the best time we're doing a teepee!

It is a very different experience from any place I have ever stayed, so it is hard to make comparisons, but I will say... Before you book a stay here, know what you are getting yourself in to. My wife and I stayed here for the first four nights of our honeymoon. We had an absolutely lovely experience, but I am trying to decouple my review of the ranch resort, from the newlywed bliss... Starting with the good... (1)The surroundings are absolutely gorgeous. On our morning walks with our dogs, we would see deer, javelina, horses, donkeys, and some exotics. The views were astounding, and it is so spread out that we only once ran into another guest on one of our walks. (2) The food was really pretty good. The dinners were excellent, and the lunches and breakfasts were acceptable. (3) It is easy to genuinely unplug here. I didn't check my email the whole time and that is the longest I have gone without doing that since I was in high school. (4) This place is very dog friendly. They have a ranch dog that wanders the property and will let himself right into your room if you let him. We let our dogs run off leash, swim in the ponds, and play with the ranch dog. It was so nice to be able to let the dogs run wild and have a blast and come back to the room ready to pass out. Otherwise, travelling with dogs can be really stressful. (5) Other than a few WEIRD details below, the room was gorgeous. The weird/bad.... (1) I am not a picky eater, so I loved the dinners, but it is important to note that you don't order here. They just give you what they made for that meal. So if you are a picky eater, you may have a less enjoyable dining experience. (2) No food options outside of meals... I was prepared for no room service in the middle of nowhere (even though the cost would suggest otherwise), but I thought they would at least have chips, drinks, protein bar, ice cream, etc. available for purchase somewhere for a late night snack. They don't. If you get hungry after dinner, you are out of luck. (3) The above would be fine and you could just bring your own snacks. However, the rooms don't have fridges. (4) We stayed in the Owner's Pool House Suite. We thought it was just the room name, but it quickly became clear it is actually where the owner stays when he is at the property. The first thing we did when we got there was put away family photos that were hung on the walls and place on surfaces, because it felt a little weird to be sleeping in his bedroom... Also since the closet was locked (presumably because the owner keeps his clothes there, there was no place to hang any clothes. For that matter there also was not a dresser. Lastly, the bed was a queen-sized bed. Luckily we were honeymooning, and didn't feel the need for a lot of personal space, but I thought it was odd that the suite had a queen-sized better rather than a king. (5) Meals are all served at long tables sitting with other hotel guests. This isn't a bad thing, I actually really enjoyed meeting some new people and this fostered a sense of community with the other guests, but it is odd. If you are looking for a quiet dinner with just your family or a romantic dinner with your significant other... not going to happen here. (6) There were some weird quirks to the hospitality. We had to go talk to the front desk a couple times while we were there, and each time they sorta acted like we were interrupting something and looked confused about why we would be coming to ask them questions. (7) The gym is really not good. They don't even exercise mats for doing floor exercises, no mirror for checking form, and old equipment. All this being said, you can have a wonderful experience here (as I did), but if you don't go into it knowing what to expect, I can totally understand how someone could be very disappointed.

The hotel staff is wonderful BUT the owner needs to do better…read more This is a very unique and serene place. But you have to understand what you are getting into when you stay here. They do have a small menu for breakfast. But lunch and dinner is a meal the chef chooses and that is all there is. You will be sitting at a group table with other guests. We never had the lunch so I can't speak on that. The dinners we did. Now the dinner were good BUT after the cost, service fee and tip that automatically get charged, each dinner for each person is $95, both nights the severed a stater soup, main plate and a dessert. $95 seemed high to me. I strongly recommend bring your own snack and a small ice chest. There are no refrigerators in the room. I think the owners suite does have a refrigerator but that is over 2k a night and is the owners suite when he wants to be there. So he makes sure he has comforts. There are NO TVs in any room. There is a media room that has a TV and then again the owners suite has a TV. Again the owner has these small comforts. There was not enough hot water for a whole shower. We booked an ATV tour which on the website they say they have side by side and single rider ATV for this tour. I personally didn't want to drive an ATV I wanted my husband to drive and their site said they had a side by side. Well they do have a side by side but they said no to taking it out for the ATV tour. We also booked the mountain tour, which is in there open air Humvee. BUT their hunters vehicles down so the hunting group got the mountain tour Humvee and we were stuck in the side by side for our mountain tour. We had the driver, us and another couple, so 5 people. The side by side had no business and was uncomfortable having 5 people in this side by side for the tour. But then going down the mountains in the side by side the brakes went out and we had to wait for a ride back. Now the Marfa sky's are amazing and Cibolo has a big telescope but apparently has not work for many many months. I feel the owner needs to pony up some funds, make sure the vehicles are in working order. Have a side by side that can be used for ATV tours like there website states. Fix the telescope. Make sure what ever the hot water problem was is fixed. But some small refrigerators in the rooms at the least. But overall the property was amazing and we will stay at again but the owner needs to do better.
