This is an older property in a town that has nothing to offer. However, when traveling on the 10 it is in the perfect location. The staff is friendly. Even though it is an older hotel, the rooms are spotless, beds are comfortable and we felt extremely safe. I would stay here again.

This is an economy hotel that has no frills but is very clean and the gentleman who checked us in was very nice. The room was large, the bed was firm. I prefer a bit aofter but it wasnt horrible. This hotel is VERY near the railroad tracks and trains cime through often. You can feel theem coming before hearing them.

It was clean!

It’s what you expect from a motel in a small town. It’s an older property, so keep that in mind. However, I found it clean and fine for a overnight stay.

Clean motel, friendly service. One of the older inns. The only negative is the railroad tracks directly behind our room shakes the whole building and No in-room coffee maker. Great price for an overnighter. Would definitely stay here again.

Best in Class

You won’t find a better deal for the price. No frills but it was clean and quiet. It’s close to the train tracks, but I always bring ear plugs because I am a light sleeper. It didn’t seem to bother me. I travel about 100 nights a year, I would definitely stay here again.

Will stay again

The bathroom vanity was broken on bottom door and water stained. They could do with a few "soft" pillows as I woke with a neck ache. But overall it was very clean and comfy and I would stay there again and the price was great!!!

Best place to stay in Van Horn

The desert inn was the best place I stayed on my trip. The staff are so kind and helpful and even stayed late for me when I knew I wouldn't arrive by check in time. They saved me from another cold night in the woods! The rooms aren't the biggest or fanciest but they're very nice and absolutely cannot be beat for the price. Would absolutely stay again and will only ever stay here if I'm in Van Horn.
