Desert Air Motel

Not only always.clean but the friendly like attitude

No just wanted to spend more time

Location and cleanliness

Staff was super friendly and great location

It was a dated room and for the price I was expecting better

It was precious! Stars galore at night, sweet pool and event capabilities- outdoor stage + dancefloor, fire pit, tables and chairs and hammocks all with view of lovely mountain desert locale. Old school bus type vehicle turned into ‘quick breakfast’ venue-serve oneself good coffee, Danish, hard boiled eggs, cereal, bagels-simple fare. Loved the flora planted about the hotel grounds. Loved the staff Mr + Mrs …Duarte, I believe was their name. She is a genius guest arrangements and was clever with motel’s simple decor. He is informative, polite, attentive and helpful to guests at The Desert Air. An unexpected plus for some of us: A nicely stocked package-liquor store was right there next store to the motel office. The room had seriously cold A/C w/remote user control, good TV unit w/ALL the apps and channels, bench to stargaze outside door, parking just right there too. Gazebo type picnic gathering area in center of complex contributed to friendly encounters and star talk; the galaxy type.

Not that I don’t recognize the simply huge amount of work and time it took to get The Desert Air Motel to sparkle as it does, I DO - but it’s an old infra+structure, and another couple of electric sockets would help, the refrigerator, a small cute retro unit stopped-started-stopped so didn’t really cold up our canned drinks, outside lighting had dodgy operation as well. I’m sure are all on their to-do lists. My husband was perfectly happy, barring the socket vs phone charging problem. I notice even vague imperfections and only list them with positive energy and perceptions what will surely be.

Loved having breakfast in the Bus. Only bad part was no Ramps and my husband is on a walker. There was good coffee, plenty of fresh food, and a nice picnic area to sit in.the staff was very helpful. We drove out of our way to stay there on our vacation, because we had been once before and liked it so much.

Maybe more ramps, but that is easy to work with if you are with someone.

It was cute, leaning into the mid-century vibe.

Some parts, bathroom door for example, showed pretty serious signs of wear and didn’t really add to the authenticity.

great renovation. Clean, comfortable, great TV choices, friendly. Added breakfast good. And new pool and rooms.

No closet or ability to hang or store clothes. Also faceplate on shower handle was not affixed to wall.

Color (aqua) scheme was very restful. Loved the desert pillows. Clean room. Plenty of coffee!

Bed was too soft!

Friendly staff, location, comfortability, the view, super nostalgic, and the price!

Good choice of cable tv services. The room and grounds were clean and neat and the breakfast was good. We will be staying again if the circumstances arise.

I feel the price is very high but since it's the only lodging in town you really have no choice. Good ole capitalist monopoly! Cudos. The room had an overpowering aroma of cheap aftershave but after a couple of hours of airing it out it was fine. The Wifi shut down in the morning around 8:00 am.

Checking in was very easy, the staff were responsive and answered my call even after sundown. The bed was comfortable, the room had ample space for one person, and the amenities were nice. I stayed in the Ocotillo room and really appreciated the terrace space and tub, even though weather conditions were not friendly to being outside.

The outdoor lights are solar-powered, but unfortunately it rained and was cloudy all day so I had no light outside at night. Not much you can do to prevent that, but it would be nice to have an electric option.

Clean and comfortable and great fridgeAnd microwave. Nice hot shower.

Were very late arriving. Room keys were inthe rooms reserved. Left before office as open. Could not have been easier.

The perfect location off of Hwy 90.The room, well kept and very clean.Comfortable beds.Upfront door parking.Receptionist....very nice and helpful.Will be traveling through next spring.Definitely plan staying there again.Very charming motel.

Nothing negative to say.It's a gem of a motel.Highly recommended.

Everything was perfect - the staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable, the room was cozy and quiet, and the location on the edge of town was great for privacy. I am not sure if I will ever make it back to Sanderson, but if I do I will no doubt be staying at the Desert Air!

The fact that this hotel existed in the middle of nowhere

No breakfast.No restaurant in the village.

It was right off the highway. It was clean & stocked well . We only stayed 1night.

A nice comfortable motel in a remote town in Texas. The location is a great place while traveling from El Paso to San Antonio. Across the street from Service station. Couldn't find any restaurants in Sanderson. It has some character. Sixties type of frig and micro-wave

Disappointed with the cleanliness of this road motel. Since it was privately owned, I thought that some care would be taken to keep up with the maintenance cleanliness of the room. I found debris under and behind the bed. Also the furnishings were worn from use. Yes, I always check for bugs before sleeping in a bed. But finding debris behind the bed is not a good sign. For the price, I expected better. I felt the price was too high for it's value.

It had a cute microwave and mini-refrigerator in old 50’s style. Bathroom pink tiles reminded us of 50s.

Little beat up. Backside of door in bath was disintegrating at bottom from wetness. TV system did not work. WiFi was very slow. The only real restaurant in town was closed on Mondays and Tuesdays; we were there on a Monday. Stripe gas station across the street had packaged sandwiches.

The room was clean and comfortable.Staff were very helpful and friendly.The location was excellent for us.

Everything was fine
