The people who run the place seemed nice enough from my brief encounter upon arrival, but it's unfortunate location and slightly dishonest statement to me force me to give it the lowest rating. Their little motel is right next to the train - quite literally 100 feet (according to Google Maps) - and the whole place literally shakes when a... More

I was not sure what to expect for $35.60 for a night ...but it was not bad at all! I was assigned to #1, right next to street. It was 3 beds suite(?) room (Queen, Double and single beds). The room had refrigerator, TV (not flat screen) with limited cable program and simply furnished. The bathroom tiles are 1950's pink... More

We have stayed at The Taylor Motel three times and have been impressed each time by the cleanliness of the rooms and the overall upkeep. It is also a blast from the past motor court, which is great too.

We have now stayed here twice on our Texas trip. We like finding older motels that have been resurrected and this is a good one. We had three of us traveling and for $38 we had three beds, two rooms, two tvs and bathroom with a shower. I'm very pleased with the cleanliness and service. It's true that trains run... More

I could not wait to write a review of the Taylor Motel! Our family stayed three nights here last week, and were so pleased! We were in the area to hike in Guadalupe National Park. We looked for rooms in Carlsbad and White's City, which are closer to the park, but we didn't have any luck -- the rooms in... More

After reading awful reviews for expensive hotels near Carlsbad Caverns we followed a recommendation to stay in Van Horn (Van Horn was a great one night stop over travelling from the east with a nice easy drive north to Carlsbad Caverns the next morning). Taylor Motel was great with email communication, room was enormous and exceptionally clean. Even breakfast was... More

I found it hard to assign a star rating. If you're looking for a clean room, comfortable bed, hot shower with TV, microwave and refrigerator, all for $30 plus tax, then this is an excellent choice. I stayed here two nights on separate pass-through visits to Van Horn; it's a 1915 motor court with friendly, helpful front-desk staffing. But if... More

Older motel that has been remodeled. Very clean....not fancy, no flat screens or anything. The wifi worked great. The price was good at $34 for 2 adults. Staff was very friendly....Only negative was heat/air unit was noisy...

I was heading for Big Bend National Park, but it was dark well before I got to Van Horn so decided to call it a night. The room was on the small side, with not much space after the double bed, but it was certainly sufficient for me. The carpet seemed to be new, the bed was comfortable, and there... More
