This place was easy in and out- safe and the staff was friendly. Dinner at El Capitan was delicious and it was a great stop on the trek to California!
Clean room, comfortable bed and hot shower.
Basic and affordable motel

Super old place needing a few updates. That said/ it was super clean and the owner was a nice guy. A little overpriced maybe for no coffee maker, breakfast, etc. if you can snag a room for $80-$100 probably a decent value.
We always stay at the Desert Inn when stopping in Van Horn. Check-in is simple, the room is always clean, and staff are friendly and helpful.

This is an older property. Everything looks tired and worn, although clean. Our room was fairly spacious with adequate furniture and a good bed. Unfortunately, the A/C had an odd odor and couldn't keep up with the Texas July heat. Maybe summer is not the best time to come here. Also, something to consider for light sleepers: the train tracks go literally right behind the property, with freight trains going through all night.
This was a great stay for an overnight drive through. I read previous reviews and they were right, it was clean, bed was comphy and a safe area. It has been renovated and we were surprised at how clean it was. We will stay here again when in town.

This is an easy stop off of I-10. We only needed a room for the night in between travel days. This room was fine. Quiet area. It's by train tracks, but they weren't loud enough to wake the wife up, so that's a win. You can't beat it for the price.
I've stayed here many times over tge years and it's a great experience every time. Clean, comfortable, quiet, priced right, and the owner is very pleasant!
Another great stay at the Desert Inn! Friendly, clean, comfortable, and so affordable.

Great for the price and limited options.
Stayed here on my way to Las Cruces. For a motor inn style hotel, it was pleasantly nice. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I’d stay here again for sure.
