This is a little gem off the freeway that the whole world needs to know about! It is so charming and so quaint and filled with the friendliest people! Our rooms were filled with beautiful furniture and a beautiful little porch that was overlooking the most charming outside patio area! The restaurant is incredible and we had exceptional food for dinner and the best free breakfast in the morning before heading out! You have to check it out!

This is a unique property built in 1939. It has been updated over the years...but many good things of the past have been preserved. We enjoyed the restaurant & bar and free parking. We highly recommend this hotel!

We had such a great stay that we're rerouting to stay after our 5 week trip. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The service throughout was great and while it's a charming 50 room historic hotel it has 21st century comfort.

Beautifully restored historic hotel. The patio made the room feel much larger. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The dinner was very good with excellent service. Breakfast included several hot options-more than just a continental breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

This is the place to go if you are in Van Horn. Exceeded my expectations and will definitely stay here every time I have to visit for work. Their outdoor patio/dinner area was the perfect spot to unwind from a busy day and finish up work! All the staff was so pleasant and helpful! Dog friendly and so clean! Love the old Spanish Mission feel! Thanks for a great stay, and can’t wait to return!
