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.

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.

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.

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.

Desert Inn

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.

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.

Becky

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was not ready at 3:30. When I did go in the room, it smelled of excessive sprays to make it seem clean. Be aware there is a train that runs behind! No coffee pot! No bathtub. A very rundown building. Basically you get what you pay for, it’s a cheap sleep and run. We will be paying a little more next time somewhere else.

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.
