Unable to access rooms after 10pm

It was NEVER communicated to us that you can’t check in after 10pm. Nobody called us to let us know and no check in process at all if your late. Unable to access the room or find anybody to contact, it goes straight to a dial tone.

While we actually didn't end up staying the night on our last trip, this is our go to place in Van Horn. It is away from the interstate and has everything that you need for a night's stay.

Room was very clean. Air-conditioning worked great. Everything was exactly as I would expect it to be. There is a train that runs by that is a little bit loud, but it didn’t go between 10:30 PM and 6 AM.

This was one of the cleanest rooms I’ve ever stayed in. The AC unit was loud, but kept the room nice and frosty. The train was kind of annoying but not nearly as loud as I feared.

Nice staff and property.

Traveling from Arizona back home to Texas and had a one night stay over. Staff was really nice and the motel is really great. It’s been updated and is clean and well kept. Even the parking lot is nice! Well lit for outdoor security too. Definitely staying here again!

The Desert Inn is an old style highway motel. Personable staff. Clean room and bathroom. Parked my motorcycle right outside my door. Great peace of mind. I would stay again and recommend for others.

For the money? This was a Gem hidden in plain sight. The owner was both gracious and kind. The room was super clean. The only issue was the high speed freight trains running behind the property. Otherwise the best bang for the buck there is.
