Great example of an older property that has been nicely renovated. Area outside was foul smelling of oil/gas. It sounded like the train tracks were right behind the property - bring your earplugs; the trains are very loud! Good towels; would have been nice to have places to hang them in the bathroom.

Great find!
Definitely an older property, but our room was redone and lovely. The edges of the dresser/credenza were slightly worn-looking, but only slightly. Everything else looked new or at least in excellent condition. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and spacious and all for a low price. The gentleman in the office was kind and efficient. Absolutely couldn't ask for more. Thank you, Sir! We'll be back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bed was comfortable, but I've had waffles thicker than the pillows. I don't know how anyway can rate this with a 10. The room was dark and gloomy the shower has absolutely no light so you're showering in the dark , they were dead flies in the window sill as well as it being dirty. Gaps around the entrance door. I was not comfortable staying in this room..

Desert Inn is a wonderful place to stay. Clean, friendly, covenient and the price is right! The bed was comfortable. Usually I don’t like window air conditioners but this one was quiet and efficient- warmed the room in about 2 minutes. It’s an old-fashion style motel which is nice because it’s easy to unload suitcases for the night. Definitely would stay there again.

We stay here a couple times a year. This time there were a number of small upgrades to the room and linen that added to our comfort. Very clean room, comfortable bed, and friendly service from the family who own it. They remember us and give us the same room every time.

The Good: friendly staff, clean room, decent bed, PRICE, close parking, fairly spacious The So-So: out-dated paint scheme and carpet, small TV, very little clothes-hanging space, front desk not staffed 24/7. The Bad: the door knob lock did not work either manually or by key. The dead bolt lock above the knob engaged by turning the lever from within the room, but not from the outside by using a key. We stop in Van Horn just to sleep / break up a twenty hour drive, so we were satisfied with our stay at this motel. It's clean, inexpensive, minimalistic lodging.

Lovely stay, well maintained for an almost historic place. Definitely captures the vibe of a small town in a nice structure. I enjoyed mysay. Walls seem thicker than the newer inns and hotels.

Nice Small No Frills Motel
Nice small motel. Backed car up to door to unload. Only thing I should mention for other travelers is that it is close to a train track. I love trains so the noise didn’t bother me but you may want earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Will definitely stay again.
