Thankfully he saw my update - that I was on the side of Hwy 67 in Shafter and took a chance driving another 40 miles to get us (me and our Shih Tzu). Great help and flatbed tow to Alpine.

Was on a road trip coming from Dallas, going to Marfa and Big bend. LR tire blew out just 10 miles…read morefrom Alpine, was not planning to stop here and needed to be in Marfa by the nighttime. The employees of Bill Williams tire co. not only diagnosed the issue promptly, determining that it blew out due to my tires unknowingly having been the incorrect size, but also accommodated me after their closing time of 5 PM to install and balance 2 new rear tires. Their act of kindness saved me from an unplanned stay in Alpine and additional costs. I may have just gotten lucky, and I assume this is a rare occurrence that only happens whenif the sympathetic employees deem the situation urgent, so don't expect the same accommodation as it's a rare occurrence to be serviced after hours in this manner by ANYONEanyone. Overall, I was able to get to my destinations on time with little delay. Though their services are pricier--$335 for two tires, installation, and balance--compared to Dallas (about $200), I appreciated the excellent service, speed, and quality of work. They had my correct tire size (215/60R16) in stock, unlike other local shops. For those in Alpine, they are the only place with an alignment machine, which costs $125 per service. If I lived in Alpine, Bill Williams would be my go-to tire shop. Their willingness to help in a pinch and provide top-notch service is commendable. Thank you to the Bill Williams team for turning a potentially trip-derailing situation into a minor delay.

The earth doesn't stop for no one" but yet another family arrived 5 minutes after us and another 20 minutes after the start time and they were a different ethnicity and got greeted with a handshake and a warm welcome. Very telling of what his values were. My family got picked on as well. No one was fixing the telescope the way he said to but yet when my family went he made my fiancé go back to fix it themselves yet helped everyone else and had nothing to say. I wouldn't recommend giving this guy your time or money but that was our unfortunate experience and NEVER going back.

While eating breakfast we were asked if we'd like recommendations for the day which they had printed out and very clear which was very nice. The place itself was beautiful and felt like a home away from home. We will definitely be back.

Stay at this B&B was not just a small part of our trip, but actually the best part! Truly one of the rare true B&Bs unlike some other which do not offer full experience. Amenities were on the level of a 5 star hotel, can feel the care taken. Location wise, it is an ideal location to Marathon, Marfa, Mc Donald Observatory, and Big Bend National Park. Also, if you're looking for the best food on your Big Bend trip, you do not have any other choice than to stay here. Sharon's breakfast was delicious!

On my motorcycle, Marathon was just going to be a stop in my journey. I had booked a single night at this hotel, just for a crash and an early start the following day! In the wee hours of the morning, greeted by a beautiful sunrise, I set out to leave and my motorcycle decided that the cold had been too much for the battery to crank my bike. I needed a jump! I was waiting around the office, and when the first hotel employee arrived, she told me the caretaker would be arriving soon, and he would help me. A second employee arrived, on her bicycle, and she went more step, texting the caretaker than someone was in needs of help. The caretaker joined me shortly after. Assessed the situation with me, and went back to his lodge to pick up his truck and jump cables. Guys, this fill my day with joy! finding strangers to provide human empathy to someone's grief was rejuvenating. The place is unassuming, the rooms are simple, all the rest is what counts. I will be returning to that place just for that!

It's just a short walk from restaurants and an equally adorable grocery store that you may also see Kristi working at! All around it was another memorable stay in the lovely town of Marathon.

And wait we did. For 90 minutes! Ok, I drove to a quiet spot and took a nap until after the lunch hour. Surprisingly the lunch hour is generous out here in west Texas.

So, in case you read Yelp Gas station reviews: this is a 'business hours only' type gas filling station.

It took a while to get to us, since he was coming from Marathon, but he was really friendly and a genuinely nice guy. Because we had AAA, the tow into Alpine didn't cost anything. We were driving a VW Jetta, which is apparently an incredibly difficult car to get fixed in smaller towns, but he called around to a few places on his phone for us and found one of his friends in Alpine who had a garage and was willing to work on our car. If you have to break down in the middle of the desert, Sixto is the man to call.
