Retro experience in modern world
Very nice hotel in the middle of Van Horn. So much better than the chain hotels for roughly the same price. Liked the restaurant and bar on site. Lots of sitting areas inside and out to soak up the ambience of the place. Everyone we encountered was happy; staff, patrons and guests!
