We really loved having access to the private patio that was adjacent to our room. Water pressure in the shower could have been a bit higher. Otherwise, a very nice stay!!

It’s a double bed, not queen. Old place…..but it was clean and comfy. A breakfast of sorts is complementary in room. Nice retro fridge and micro. BBQ and picnic area are nice.

Desert Air completely lived up to our expectations for a classic, vintage motel -- just the thing for a road trip. The owner was helpful, friendly, and obviously investing himself and financial resources into continued improvements and maintenance. A business like this is a great asset to a town like Sanderson, and we were glad we patronized it. But take note: the only real restaurant in town, which we were looking forward to, is closed on Monday nights. If that's when you are going through, plan ahead, or plan on getting tacos at the gas station.
