Marfa hotels were really full for the week we visited there, and we were lucky to get a nice room at the Riata by callng ahead the previous day. The manager and his staff were extremely friendly and helpful and made our stay really enjoyable. Unfortunately the "fabled mysterious lights" were not so accommodating! The rates were very reasonable in... More

For an older place, the hotel was rather clean, though it did show some signs of its age via work out furnishings and threadbare carpets. The shower, sink, and toilet had been very obviously freshly cleaned. The bed was comfortable. There were extra pillows and blankets. The one thing I realized is that, in coming to a small town like... More

The rooms at the Riata are older but very large. The rooms have newer flat screen tv's and the couch was comfortable. The walls are pretty thin so if there are kids or a party next door, you will need ear plugs. The motel manager was very nice as was the maintenance man. The housekeeping left a bit to be... More

Marfa's Riata Inn was a nice quiet place with amazing service. It was extremely clean, there were spacious rooms, and overall my experience there was exceptional. I was able to make reservations in short notice and I was not disappointed. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It is also close to many of the must see sites in Marfa.... More

Staying at the Riata Inn was a pleasant surprise from the moment I made the phone reservation two days before my arrival in Marfa until I checked out following my stay. Randy, who took my reservation over the phone, also was there when I checked in late afternoon, and greeted me as an old friend. He was totally professional, polite... More

The Riata staff was very friendly the time I was there. The rooms were very clean with nice decor. The outside was very clean. There's a lot room for semi parking. There are restaurants not to for from the motel. The price was right for the area. The Marfa lights where great.

If you've checked the hotels in Marfa, you know how overpriced they are. The Riata Inn is about half the price of those. It's something like half a mile away from the city center so it's very close to everything you want to do. The Marfa lights viewing area is about 7 miles straight down the road so this is... More

The hospitality at this little retreat is off the charts. For a moment there I forgot I was checking in and thought I was at an old buddy's place. I suspect you too will catch a glimpse of your hometown here. Riata has an old feel and old soul which I find appropriate and just what I'm looking for while... More

This was the first trip my boyfriend and I took with our new puppy Pickles. She did not enjoy the long car ride from Tucson. Pickles was eager to get out of the car and explore but little did I know that the grass in Marfa has hidden thorns that the locals call suckers that stuck to her paws. The... More
