Marfa Retreat

Sorry, not feelin' it. We stayed in the 'Cobalt Door' which is basically a collection of what not to buy at IKEA- and whose only saving grace was it's proximity to 'Get Go'. It's certainly unique with it's little 'back yard', full-size fridge and reclaimed flooring, but the bed was pretty rough, the shower still had some hair in it from the last occupants, and there's no window in the bedroom- which I have to assume is some sort of fire safety concern.The facts:- location is great - walk to Pizza Foundation, Get Go, Ballroom Marfa, and pretty much everywhere else- $50 cleaning fee is outrageous - esp. since the place wasn't all that clean. If it really costs anywhere near $50 to clean this shoebox (which I doubt), just add it to the room rate- no WiFi we could find despite the claims (try Pizza Foundation)- TV (dish network) was weak - all I wanted was some sort of local news affiliate

the perfect place for us to stay in Marfa. beautiful, clean, big apartments, filled with natural light and art books, at a great price, and in the center of town. best of all, incredibly nice, helpful owners. I had severe food poisoning during my stay from bad food in las cruces, nm. the owners brought in extra blankets. they switched us to a bigger, more comfortable apartment - at no additional cost. they helped ensure my friends and I were all as comfortable as possible. we liked it so much, we stayed an extra night - can not recommend highly enough
