Pros:

Location

We wished we had more time to explore Marfa, TX. We’d do that part differently next time.
Pros:

The indoor outdoor vibe and the desert gardens surrounding the pool.

Cons:

The parking situation because we were on the complete other side of the building and had lots of big things to carry (dog crate for a 70lb dog) etc. it is possible to park on the street closer to the other side of the building for less of a trek.

Zweckmässig, aber eher untere Grenze.
Pros:

Schöner Garten, bequeme neue Betten. Aber man geht ja nicht wegen dem Garten in ein Hotel.

Cons:

Altes Motel in sonst nicht sehr ansprechenden Zustand

I will definitely be going back and staying at Thunderbird yes!
Pros:

The staff was absolutely amazing. Felt like coming home to family.

Cons:

First, I said there’s no TV to watch movies and then I passed and I told my husband well it’s bonding time no phones no TV just you and I!
