About this apartment rental
Perfectly situated in the middle of town near major Marfa attractions, MOTEL is a thoughtful, multi-year adobe renovation spearheaded by craftsman, Jantzen Matzdorff, with design by renowned design firm McCray & Co., this is the latest in a series of successful projects together. Their previous work has been featured in Tribeza, Domino, and GQ. Together they created this original boutique hotel almost exclusively with vintage and custom finishes while honoring the original structure.

We absolutely LOVED the Artist's Loft at MOTEL Marfa! It had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. We took advantage of all of the amenities, such as the electric sauna and the Cool Ranch Dip as we lovingly called it (bring some ice for a true cold plunge experience!) We cooked over the wood-fired grill, and enjoyed our own private patio with fire pit. For a special couple's experience, we booked the "hot tub," which is a claw-foot tub big enough for two, with hot & cold running water. The tub is situated in a labyrinth-type enclosure which provides privacy and the beauty of the open skies and sounds of Marfa. We enjoyed our special bottle of wine during this and used it as a warm salt soak for two. Highly recommend. All of the amenities are shared with other guests, but with only 5 available suites to choose from, the property feels very private and welcoming. We were very impressed with the attention to detail, the artistic curation, keeping it classy, clean, calm, and utilizing that West Texas resourcefulness that is So Marfa. The succulent landscaping and custom welded permanent shade structures, gates, fences, potted plant pedestals, and so many other details drew our eyes to become very present in the moment, and take in the environment that had been so tastefully curated by the MOTEL Marfa team. Bravo. Additionally, the location is perfectly situated downtown, within walking distance to anything you could need. Highly recommend! Dog Friendly!!!

Overall, the accommodation is beautifully curated and offers a truly unique experience. We especially appreciated its location—conveniently close to most attractions, which made exploring Marfa on foot easy and enjoyable.The design and amenities were exceptional, with thoughtful, personal touches throughout that added to the charm and comfort of the space.That said, there are a few aspects worth noting for future guests:•Noise: The nearby venue, Planet Marfa, played loud music late into the night over the weekend (until around 1 AM), which could be disruptive for light sleepers.•Flooring: While the grated stairs fit the aesthetic, they were quite uncomfortable to walk on—definitely bring slippers or thick socks for indoor comfort.•Check-In Time: The check-in time felt quite late, especially for a smaller property. An earlier check-in without an added fee would enhance the experience.•Storage: A wardrobe or additional storage would be a welcome addition, particularly for guests visiting Marfa for events who need to unpack or hang garments.With a few tweaks, this stay could be near-perfect. As it stands, it’s a beautiful, well-located space with plenty of character—just use earplugs and slippers!
