There are no coffee makers in any of the rooms. This is why we chose this place. The owner didn't care a bit that their website says there are. Breakfast is pretty generic. Location is not the best, right next to the train tracks.

No coffee makers

The staff couldn't have been nicer. They gave me a rate that was much less than the hotels immediately off the highway, and yet it was everything I wanted — a clean, safe place to sleep and freshen up.

The room was perfectly clean and did not have a lingering smell of any kind (e.g. commercial cleaning agents). It had comfortable beds, a cold mini-fridge, the complimentary toiletries you would expect, and decent water pressure.

After a good, quiet night's sleep, a well stocked breakfast was ready and waiting for me at the appointed time (7 AM). There were a variety of cold cereals, hot oatmeal, make-your-own waffles, as well as refrigerated hard boiled eggs and yogurt to grab-n-go with, and of course, coffee.

Would I stay there again? Absolutely.

Glad I stayed here

This place is in west Texas and choices are few. Econo lodge is low end of choice and this proves it. ONLY Choice place we had stayed in that advertised breakfast but did NOTHING. Ripped off. Other Choice properties either to a breakfast and you take to your room or they give your a breakfast bag, this place just saved the money and gave you nothing. The bed was nice BUT it was in a metal frame???? Every time you moved it made teh flexing sound like a can. 1st time ever had a bed with a cheap metal frame. To keep people from stealing when you check in you do not have a coffee maker but they bring it later to your room. Way to make a customer feel respected. Room was clean and good, just teh other things including looking for handicap parking space.

worst sleep ever

At check in, the incredibly rude desk clerk tried to charge $50/night IN ADDITION to what I paid Hotwire for the reservation. Absolutely illegal in addition to ridiculous. Clerk refused to even write down the hotel phone number so I could provide it to Hotwire customer service. I'd sleep in a box before I stayed here.

Get a box instead, it will be better

Not only did we not receive the room (king) we reserved they charged us for our service animal because she is only an emotional support animal. When I called after confirming the room, to let them know I had the dog,I was told to call back after 5 because he didn't know anything. When you are traveling with spotty phone service it's hard to do that. Next time I travel Econo Lodge is not one of my choices

Not one of our best choices

I’m writing this on behalf of my elderly parents that recently stayed here. They said the rooms were clean, but had multiple issues with their reservation. 

1) when they called ahead they explained they needed a handicap room because my father needs the assistance getting in and out of shower/tub, etc. they were assured that they would have one. When they arrived they were told the hotel didn’t have any handicap rooms. Because they had been driving from AZ, they decided to stay vs take the chance the other hotels didn’t have rooms. 

2) when they called ahead they inquired about bringing their small dog. They were told it would be $10 a night. When they arrived they were informed that they had been misquoted over the phone and the pet would be $25 a night. 

3) when they called to verify the above information they informed the staff they would book online because they wanted a copy of the reservation for peace of mind. The staff didn’t tell them that online they charge $22.99 and didn’t offer to book and email the reservation. I understand my father should have seen this when booking, but he didn’t notice till he arrived and looked over the reservation. He acknowledges that was his mistake but for customer service reasons the staff should have at least offered to help him further on the phone. 

4) the room is supposed to have a coffee maker. Their room did not and they were told one was not available for them. It’s a small thing, but with the other issues it was a major disappointment for them. 

Very disappointing to say the least. I’d recommend based on this, finding a different place to stay. 

Mislead 

Late night find after driving all day.  Choice App was not working well with wifi on the road so had to call ahead.  I advised the man that answered the phone of the issue and advised him I was a Choice Member and the rate I had on line but could not book because of the signal.  He kept quoting a different higher rate but figured I could sort it out when we got there.  We arrived about 20 minutes later and a lady checked me in.  I mentioned the rate difference and she just mumbled something about that’s the ‘system’.  It was too late to argue and just wanted to get to room.  It wasn’t that much of a difference but still. 

Room was basic – wifi, mini-fridge, no coffee maker.  Appeared to be clean and bed was comfy.  Laughed when we saw sign for charging outrageous rates for their ‘luxurious’ towels, pillows if missing.  Believe me, cannot imagine anyone taking anything – better quality at Walmart.  Now Breakfast…. bear minimum.  Nothing I would eat, nothing hot (like eggs, meats), no bagels, emuffins, no juice – very poor.  Grabbed a banana, yogurt and coffee & went back to the room.  The area may have about 5 little tables next to the front desk – not very inviting.  Could not believe I actually saw a sign (when I was checking out) that one could NOT take food back to your room.  HUH ? – bizarre.  When traveling with my spouse he always brings me coffee and juice back to the room before I head for breakfast myself.  (My traveling friend said she actually heard them ‘speaking’ to someone that tried to do that!) 
And what if you bought a pizza, sub etc somewhere else…you can’t eat in your room?  The whole place was a bit odd – did not feel welcomed.  One night was fine, will not be back – better choices elsewhere.

Better Choices....

I was blowing off some choice points and was placed in a ground floor room on the west side of the building directly opposite the base of the  stairwell.    You've got to expect some noise in van horn, you've got choo choo trains and trucks and car noise, but the room is fairly quiet from those little trouble makers, however IF you are lucky enough to have a loud guest sit at the top of the stairway and have loud conversations and sing songs both solo and with other hotel guests until 11 PM . It gets a bit much as that sound carries down the stair well and pretty much sounds like you have a front row seat to Karaoke night. .    Check in went fine, I bolted around 5 AM to be asked my citizenship a few times by CBP, so I didn't do breakfast but it looks pretty spartan.  Try and pick a room away from the base of the stair way unless free hotel Karaoke is your thing .

Boy that stair well echos

At $94 plus tax I think is was overpriced considering a few other choice at about $25 less with the same amenities.   Red Roof Inn, Knights Inn to name a couple.  We had been on the road all day and were tired. Quality Inn was booked up so Econo Lodge was closest.  I must add in all fairness that the room was clean and well appointed.

I had problems with the wi-fi initially and the manager told me it was my laptop.  I used my mobile hot spot and a couple of hours later the motel wifi started working.  Don't believe it was my laptop.  I've never hard trouble with it before.  In fact I'm writing this review using it in my motel at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas.

The breakfast served was a low grade continental breakfast at best.  Few choices of pastries and little else.  I got coffee, which was bad, but there was no hot water for tea so my wife did without. We ended up driving about a half mile to a McDonalds.

I will check the other motels the next time I'm passing through Van Horn no matter how tired I am.

Comparatively speaking a bit pricey.

This property has the standard amenities you expect with econo lodge. The rooms were good size. We had no problems at all. Bed was comfortable and the wifi worked fine. It must be emphasized that room was exceptionally clean. Would stay again.
