The property was beautiful. The room was clean. The staff was pleasant. They had a private party the night we stayed. That made the bar and restaurant unavailable and the parking lot was full so we had to park on the street. These things happen so definitely no a knock on the property. I’d definitely stay again if I were in the area.

Great historic hotel that provides the best room and board in Van Horn. The only thing to note is that the vintage rooms are vintage sized! If you have more than one guest in your party, definitely go for a larger room!

It is a historic property. Enjoy its quaintness. Having stayed here numerous times, I/we do find an inordinate number of dogs in nearby guest rooms. The barking is a distraction and forces us to use a "sleep sound machine" to drown out the noise.

Best hotel in the area. Nothing to do around the property. There was a stain in the sheet and when I reported they change the sheets immediately. Very good staff members.
