Jett's Grill serves dinner nightly and offers barbecue grill options, including a pistachio jalapeño chicken fried steak. The on-site bar makes a spicy margarita and a Moscow mule. Guests can take drinks from the bar into the courtyard with its water fountain.
Rooms
The hotel offers 40-plus rooms, including the Rock Hudson Suite with a rooftop terrace and the James Dean Room. Each room has air conditioning, a private bathroom, and a flat-screen TV. Room 223 is located near the staircase and may have extra noise from guest traffic.

“The hotel's rich history, particularly its connection to the film 'Giant,' offers guests a unique sense of place in Marfa. While the rooms may reflect a vintage aesthetic, the property maintains its charm through beautiful common areas and a dedicated staff; however, some rooms near the stairs may experience noise from guest traffic. Overall, this hotel distinguishes itself through its historical significance and enduring appeal.”
