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!
