Desert Inn

The gentleman that checked us in was friendly, and our room was ready when we arrived (a little early). The room was sparse but clean and comfortable. The parking lot had been freshly coated and the area was well lighted at night. The room rate was great. The train runs on the tracks behind the hotel but we put in earplugs and slept well. There aren’t a lot of food options (other than fast food) in Van Horn, and we wanted a beer with dinner. Gilberts right next door looked like a bar but was actually a nice family style sit down restaurant and we had a fantastic meal. It was mostly other couples and two sheriffs there for dinner. In all a gem of a find in a small town. I would definitely stay again.

For the money, I don't think you can beat this place! The room was clean & had all the amenities needed for an overnight stay. All that was missing was a coffee pot to make our necessary morning cup of coffee. But, since everything else met or exceeded our expectations, I won't complain. The owner, Peter, was kind, courteous & professional, too!

location was excellent, near eating, gas stations, etc. On the main drag, but away from the street. Heard nothing above the air conditioner, which was not a loud obnoxious one. Was greeted warmly, got room key, very clean and clean smelling room, has been simply updated, but it was all good for me. excellent sleep for the cost. Got recommendation to excellent restaurant.

Other hotels all over town/county can take a few lessons on cleanliness from this Motel's cleaning crew - spotless! Front desk gal (cleaning crew!) was very nice and accommodating, the mini fridge was already cold, the bed was comfortable, the shower was spacious and had great pressure.

Very comfortable room. Clean, decent size, decent bathroom though the sink was kind of small and lacking in a place to hang the towels. No big deal though, still a decent bathroom. Nice big shower. The Bed was comfortable and decent internet and TV. Microwave and Fridge. Ice machine worked fine. For the price, Desert Inn stacks up to many hotels/motels that I have paid a lot more for. It is obvious that owner/manager takes pride in what they do.
