What guests say
8.5 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 285 guest reviews
The Thunderbird Hotel earns consistently high marks for its central Marfa location, clean and well-appointed rooms, welcoming staff, and laid-back pool and courtyard setting. The most common gripe is the absence of in-room TVs, though several guests noted this turned out to be a pleasant trade-off; a few also flagged the self-service check-in as initially confusing and pricing as slightly steep. Overall, sentiment across recent reviews is strongly positive, with guests frequently expressing intent to return.
