Hotel Saint George

I have stayed at the St. George many times, and it has always been superb, but this visit topped them all! The hotel staff was absolutely superlative, going above and beyond when we needed advice about restaurants and help with our room (lost key, etc.) The bar and restaurant staff were also terrific -- friendly and efficient. If you have ever stayed in Marfa, you know that getting good service in any hotel, store, or restaurant can be a challenge. The St. George must be a great place to work, because they have found the very best people. The food and drink at this hotel are always excellent, with a generous happy hour (if you like gin, I recommend the Bee's Knees) and a fun chicken-fried steak dinner on Wednesdays in addition to the regular menu. This time there was a half-price special for dinner if you ate at the bar instead of the tables, enabling us to enjoy a pricier meal (and the good company of the bartender!). The hotel has also added complimentary snacks to its coffee stand. Granny Smith apples and Mexican wedding cookies were much appreciated! The rooms are modern and industrial in style, which exactly suits the geography of west Texas and the arty vibe of Marfa. Huge windows, lots of art on the walls, and very comfy beds and chairs make this a great place to work or chill in between seeing the sights. The details are superb too -- Aesop bath products, ear plugs for the late-night train, a really good coffeemaker -- and there is plenty of storage for your luggage and gear. The St. George is simply the best hotel I have ever stayed in, anywhere. It's not to be missed if you are in the area. One night and you will become a regular!

Overall: Not worth the money. I don't recommend. Fancy dressings (bath products, linens, etc), but poor fundamentals (room quality - bathroom fixture was held together with tape - and service) I was excited to stay here given the hotel's history, the minimalist aesthetic (in line with Marfa's art history), and the promise of a luxurious stay. I left feeling like I had paid much too much for the experience I received. The rooms look nice, and some of the touches (Aesop products, beautiful towels) are fantastic. But other parts of the rooms/hotel feel too cheap to command $400/night. The heavy room doors don't close softly, so you constantly hear doors slamming throughout the night as people come and go. The walls and ceilings are thin. And our toilet paper roll holder was held together with duct tape. The service was lacking, too. It felt very amateur for the price/luxury they are trying to project. People at the front desk didn't greet us. No one asked us how our stay was, even when we checked out. They seemed more interested in chatting to each other or eating at the desk than they did interacting with guests.

We stayed a night at the Saint George. A modern, well maintained and beautifully designed hotel. The room was very spacious and well equipped, with high end amenities and a very comfortable bed. The staff were friendly and attentive and the whole experience was pleasant and welcoming. We had dinner at the restaurant and it completed a great stay. This is the place to stay while in Marfa.

Meh. Poor service bordering on amateurish. Room cleaning was spotty. Arrived back from day out (after 4 pm) to unserviced room. Short on coffee cups and coffee in room most days . Front desk tried makes excuses that new arrivals get serviced first, but it was Sunday and there are not a lot of arrivals. No, not how this works. Restaurant and bar were frequently out of things (ribs, Bolognese, tomatoes, and various desserts). Gets tedious to have reselect and order a couple of times. And often slow; basic omelette took over an hour to arrive at table. Have had better service at half the price. Cannot recommend.

The Saint George is a hotel like absolutely no other. The staff is phenomenal and so attentive, the food is delicious and the amenities are out of this world. it is a great place to relax after a long day of working in theatre, it has allowed me to process and rest my brain and body. Do not hesitate to book here, Tim and his amazing staff will take such good care of you!

The Hotel St George is one of the best places to stay in the country. The staff are great, and the rooms, huge and luxurious. I always find that, when I stay here, it seems like home. I'm always remembered by the staff, who are quick to serve me and welcoming/friendly. The beds are amazing. Just the right firmness, and the suites are terrific. My wife and I come here often and this stay, almost two weeks, was truly the best vacation I can imagine. Heartily recommended.
