The Hotel Paisano

Historic and that's it. The hotel is run down and not worth the price. It was suggested we make reservations in the restaurant which I suspect is for staffing because there was only one table with guests, we ate elsewhere.

This hotel is steeped in classic architecture and historical flavor having accommodated the cast of the movie, “Giant”, starring Cary Grant, Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean (just to name a few). The room we stayed in was once two rooms converted into a larger one with two comfy beds and two bathrooms (nice feature, although one bathroom had issues with commode flushing and the other with water temp in the shower…? Not sure how that happens, but taking into account the age of the property, it was a minor issue.) The onsite restaurant and bar offered lovely options for both food and beverage – that can be enjoyed in their quaint and charming courtyard near the fountain. The first night we were there, they featured live music in the courtyard and the weather was beautiful…so, it made for an exceptional evening experience. There is NO elevator (yet!…though you can tell they are installing one), so anyone with mobility issues (climbing stairs), or in a wheelchair could not stay here. Take into account, Marfa, Texas is a drive! It’s approximately 8 hours from DFW and I am unsure where the closest regional airport might be….so, you will have to put in some windshield time. But, once you are there….the world renown Chinati Art Exhibit is a must see!…and, totally unexpected in this tiny, west Texas town. I highly recommend you visit - at least once!

It was good, which is compatible with our expectations.

We came here for our 26th wedding anniversary. We enjoy going to historic hotels. The grounds and building was beautiful. Check in and house keeping were great the room was great with patio and fireplace which we used. The only negative was when went to our dinner at the Jett Grill, which we booked online. The girl there was very condesending and said we didnt have a rezervation and we must have done it wrong or booked the wrong day. Though it was not busy and no problem with us getting a table . She made us feel like it was a problem. Then when she made our drinks she left ours sitting there forever on the bar, waiting for our server, instead of bringing it to us. The server, Derick, was great. He apologized even though we told h8m ut wasnt his fault. He gave us excellent service, and ket trying to make up for her cause he knew we were a little upset. Then my husband tried to get drink from the machines later and it wouldnt take bills. He went to desk for change and was told, it doesnt work anyway. He could have offered to get him soda from the bar or kitchen. But no. Other than that stay was good.

We really enjoyed our night!

My bathroom was so small, I'm not certain two people could be in it at the same time. The shower was not large enough for a person to bend over in it.
