Ambiance: Historic western hotel in Marfa with an onsite restaurant, bar, and boutiques. We loved…read moreour stay over Valentine's Day! Friendly check-in and staff. Our room was spacious and overlooked the pool. Hotel is extremely dog friendly! Reasonable room rates and comfortable bed. Parking onsite and street parking available. Pool looked lovely. Multiple areas to socialize and gather. Lots of history and cool art. We loved the onsite shopping/boutiques! Great for souvenirs and unique West Texas finds. We will always plan to stay here when we visit Marfa!

I chose Hotel Paisano over another hotel in Marfa because the other property's website clearly…read morestated, in all capital letters, that there was no elevator. Accessibility and mobility concerns were a factor in our decision, and Hotel Paisano's website gave no indication that its elevator was out of service. Upon arrival, we were informed that the elevator was not working and would not be repaired during our stay. Every guest room requires climbing at least one flight of stairs, making this a significant issue for anyone with mobility limitations. What was most disappointing was not just the outage itself, but the fact that it was never disclosed before our arrival. We were also told at check-in that the restaurant was closed for renovations and no food service would be available. One of the reasons I selected this hotel was because the restaurant menu looked more appealing than those offered by other hotels in town. Again, this information was not communicated in advance. We were informed that the bar would remain open until 3 p.m. each day. However, when we visited around noon on Saturday, we were told we could not order drinks because the space was being reserved for a private party later that evening. That same party continued until 10 pm and the noise was loud enough to be clearly heard from our room. The party guests extended into the pool area. Event attendees were allowed to use the pool, and guests in formal attire were jumping into the water fully clothed. While that may have been entertaining for those attending the event, it created an atmosphere that felt more like a private venue rental than a hotel serving paying guests who were expecting a quiet and relaxing stay. The guests were also taking photos with a very bright flash camera. Every flash penetrated through both the sheer and formal sets of curtains in our room and made relaxing and sleeping impossible. Any one of these issues might have been manageable had they been disclosed before booking. Instead, guests were left to discover them only after arrival. I was particularly troubled by the apparent lack of concern regarding guests with mobility challenges. When a property has no practical access to guest rooms except by stairs due to an inoperable elevator, that information should be communicated prominently before a reservation is made so travelers can make informed decisions based on their needs. The hotel seems to rely heavily on its historic reputation and charm, but historic character should not come at the expense of transparency, accessibility, or guest service. The elevator outage, restaurant closure, restricted bar access, and late-night private event created an experience that felt far different from what was advertised.

This is my first time staying at this hotel. Never have I experience what I did after I woke up in…read morethe morning after. When I flip back the sheets all the way back just to make sure I wasn't leaving anything behind, I came across dirty stain sheets that look like blood stains and there was grit on my sheets. Looks like the sheets haven't been changed. So of course I did bring it to the front desk clerk attention. And I told him I took pictures of it as well , asked if he wanted to see them he said no that's okay that he would tell the manager. Since I book through booking.com the hotel said they weren't able to refund my money because of that reason and finding out through booking.com called the Hotel, the general manager to let them know, and was told I never complained. Smh. This was terrible.

My kids told me this is their favorite Holiday Inn. I agree! It's clean, relatively new, and has…read morelittle extras that show the owner cares. For example, they have a snack/beer/wine reception on weekdays from 5-7pm. It's nothing fancy, but it's the thought that counts! The pool is great too. I love swimming but there's always a part of me that cringes when I first put my toe in the water and feel how cold it is. Not here! The water was super warm in the pool (90?) and the hot tub was even warmer. Another touch that shows care from the owner - they added 3 turtle mosaics on the pool floor. Even at breakfast, I felt the extra TLC - more yogurt options than most Holiday Inns, and an egg white omelette option for those trying to eat healthier. We were able to stay here twice on our trip to/from Big Bend, and I'm so glad we did!
