Don’t pass this by because it’s a motor motel or because it’s reasonably priced! This was the cleanest, most spacious room we’ve had while traveling across America and back!! Great bed, super clean, plenty of room to place your bags, great shower! We will definitely stay here again when passing through!

The room was very clean and spacious. The train is already close by, so there is train noise. We were very happy with our stay.

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.

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.

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.

This was a last minute booking for an overnight stay. It is an older motel, but it was comfortable. The room was clean, and the person who checked us in was quick. There wasn't much in amenities, but we were satisfied with our room. The heater in the room worked well as the temps dropped down into the 30's that night.
