"Good pit stop. Gave Bates Motel vibes at night. Not bad though. The hot water takes a bit to warm up so you kinda got to stand there in some luke warm water for 8-10 min."

Hotel Saint George

Hotel Saint George

8/10 Good
"By far the best option in Marfa. But, that is a low bar. Don't expect a good restaurant experience in-house. Don't expect a great coffee shop in-house. Don't expect a proper fitness/training facility. Don't expect a quiet/comfy lobby. Room is very nice, though."
