It's ok a bed and shower. The gentlemen that runs it is very courtesy. Works in pinch
Danny, the onsite manager, was a godsend. I arrived unexpectedly early and he did his best to accommodate. Don't judge a book by its cover, this place is a real find.

The concierge was above and beyond, definitely recommend!
Nous avons payé 75 euros pour loger dans un motel dont l'état général laisse à désirer. On espère que la chambre a été traitée correctement pour l'hygiène, mais ça n'en donnait pas vraiment l'air. Au dehors, des poubelles pleines qui trainent, des épaves de voitures, bref ce motel est indigne de figurer dans les offres "hotel.com". A éviter.

Sehr freundliches Personal. Der Ort ist perfekt für eine Nacht.
Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder dort buchen.
Es ist ein einfaches und günstiges Motel, Preis/Leistung passt.
The room was clean and well supplied. A mini fridge and customizable a/c. Very friendly manager/owner made me feel welcome. Very nice setting with mountains behind the property. Excellent price as compared to other options I considered. Will stay again when logistics of future trips allow.
Good stay for the price. Clean bedroom, working AC, and the owner was very kind. Breakfast provided is granola bars and chips.
The only issue was the bathtub was a little dirty (not terribly so, just needed a quick rinse) and it took an hour for the hot water to come on. Otherwise it’s a good pit stop in a safe little town.
Definitely recommend if you’re on a budget!
Really enjoyed my stay at Budget Inn Sanderson. The manager is super friendly and makes everything very easy. It's a simple hotel, but it's clean and comfortable, just what you need out here. It's also a great spot if you are going to Big Bend National Park. I would stay here again.

The hospitality of the owner was extremely impressive. I grew up in Sanderson so it needs a lil bit of a touch up on the outside but it was clean and worth the stay!
The clerk was nice but the “office” area is trashed and packed full of junk. The outside is run down and falling apart. The inside of the rooms is not much better. The air conditioner vent was broken and held up by plastic silverware. There was a (looked like bullet hole) in the bathroom outside wall that was patched with stuffing a napkin through it. Pictures online are deceiving for overall appearance and vibe. Would not stay again. Kind of creepy area as well due to lack of civilization.

The property is old and a bit out-dated, but the staff could not have been more gracious or helpful. Made us overlook the out-dated facility.
Older hotel but clean and comfortable bed. The manager that checked us in was very nice and gave us bananas and snacks when we checked in. Would stay there again next time passing through the area. Very affordable.
The host did his very best with what he had to work with...which was NOTHING.
The tray of 'breakfast food' were two granola bars EXPIRED in September '25 and a small orange.
He offered my sister traveling with me a bottle of "Victoria's Secret Body lotion", which we declined. (?)
The ceiling tiles from 1950s were falling from water damage. NO WINDOW OPENED, which prevented any attempt to reduce the REEK of Febreeze. Old paint was falling from the bathroom ceiling. Tissue stuffed in a hole in the painted-over bath window.
DEAD TRUCK FULL OF OLD CEILING TILES(sitting at least 3 months from the debris blown against all tires) AND MINIVAN with 2flats were the only vehicles in the parking lot other than 2 water tank trucks.
NO LATCH on the door. It only locked with the keyed bolt.
WHOEVER OWNS THE PROPERTY had to lie to BUDGET Inns to get that new sign out front.
We looked for the host, but finally left the key on the counter as directed, closed the door after taking a video of the room, and left town, finding a room in Marathon.
Sanderson is going ghost town, in severe decline.
I AM ASKING FOR A FULL REFUND.
We were delayed in arriving at the hotel. The manager stayed up and waiting for us. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Daniel is a great host and you get snacks :)
This is an older hotel but clean and well kept. If you want the Holiday inn you can drive a couple more hours. The other motel in Sanderson is also an older property, but twice the price.

The man who checked us in was very nice. I felt that a fee of $15 each for two small dogs was excessive considering the condition of the motel itself. The grounds were ill maintained with extensive weeds. The room itself was a mess!! The toilet wobbled when sat on. Both the sink and bathtub had paoer cups on place to collect drips from thevl faucets. The heating device was okay, however. If one wanted to use the microwave or fridge one had to unplug the heater as the only four plugs were occupiied by the
