We drove to Van Horn from Bandera, Texas on Sunday May 6. I made handicap reservations for this nights stay. The room was restored to as new in 1930 and had a roll-in shower, which was quiet nice.

We checked in late on a Saturday, tired from a seven hour drive. We were greeted by a pleasant, super friendly hostess who checked us in. The lobby was clean, shiney and well appointed with early 20th century Southwestern tile floors, comfy chairs and lovely cowhide rugs. Pleasant music from the 1930's wafted around us, sounds from the time when... More
