    My husband and I had a wonderful time in Marfa. I highly recommend Arcon Inn. The Inn is a quaint and lovely place. Very peaceful and the breakfast that we ate - divine!!! The innkeepers are a delightful couple and make you feel at home.

    I was a little taken aback with the cleanliness - or lack thereof - at The Arcon Inn during a recent visit. Mona has decorated the Inn in a Victorian fashion with lots of "stuff" and fabric (dusty). The house is old and even taking that into consideration, the bathrooms were not clean and vacuuming looked like it hadn't been done in quite awhile. The beds seemed clean. Mona was delightful and the breakfast was very good and the kitchen appeared to be clean. I would not stay again. I would caution anyone who has allergies to beware.

    Very fun stay

    We really enjoyed our visit at the Arcon Inn. The breakfasts were great, Mona was an informative and interesting host and gave us a great tour of the Ft. Russell barracks, and Marfa was really relaxing and fun. The Inn is in a great location - very central, and they're extremely dog-friendly, something we appreciate very much. We'll certainly try to stay at the Arcon on our next trip to Marfa!
