We stayed here for two nights. The temperature in Marfa was wonderful. Right around 85 degrees in June. We were not expecting that and were pleasantly surprised. We spent a lot of time in the courtyard of the Paisano. I took my coffee there the first morning and the kids played around the central, large fountain. It was relaxing and... more

We loved staying at the Hotel Paisano. The staff was very helpful. The room was quiet, comfortable and clean. We had a beautiful room that overlooked the courtyard. The restaurant (only open for dinner) had good service and good food. The hotel is a historic hotel that is within walking distance to many places in Marfa. The hotel is well... more

We stayed here because it was historic and put us close to Fort Davis and the McDonald Observatory. We paid extra for a room with a 'patio' and felt cheated when that patio looked not on the cool courtyard fountain, but instead looked over a decrepit neighborhood. It was a screen in porch--useful in the days before A/C, but not... more

We stayed in the James Dean room, and thought it was just adorable. The room is small, as I was told when I made the reservation, but we were fine with that because it is so comfortable. The bed was soft and clean and everything we needed was right there. It actually reminded us of the Paris hotel we stayed... more

The architecure of the hotel is nice and to see the throwback rooms which the actors used during the shooting of Giant was very nostalgic. The pool was not in service and it appears even if it were you could not get any sun. The location is very good but beware your timimg can make your visit very limiting. We... more

We chose Marfa for a family vacation destination, that was our first mistake. Almost everything the Chamber of Commerce advertises is closed down. The Hotel Paisano is an architectural marvel, but that is where the fantasy ends. The first night we stayed in the hotel, my husband went in to the hotel grill to see about getting us a table... more

Had a blast. Loved every minute of it. The manager, Kate was so gracious and accommodating - first class. We will for sure be coming to Marfa the same time next year. The stars in the sky at night in Marfa are an out of body experience. There is a little Italian restaurant there is 5 star. We will for... more

We've stayed in the Rock Hudson Suite several times and it gets better all the time. For a splurge, stay there and relive the days when the classic film Giant was being made in Marfa. There is a huge patio for relaxing, a kitchen for cooking and a large bedroom. more

Marfa is a remarkable city, and the Paisano is a remarkable hotel in this cute desert town. The Paisano hotel is truly an oasis of civilisation in the middle of the desert. I arrived here after I had spent a couple of nights in Big Bend NP and in Terlingua. As beautiful as the location of the Chisos Mountain Lodge... more
