Nestled in the heart of Sanderson, TX, the Desert Air Motel offers a delightful blend of classic charm and comfort. This hidden gem on I-90 is a great place to stop on your road trip. Due to weather we had to switch our reservation around and Jessica at the front desk was super accommodating and helpful. We can't recommend this place enough. We also happened upon a great little honky tonk down the road at the open air Ranch House Restaurant, featuring a talented young country musician named Landry Walls. The Desert Air is definitely worth a stop in Sanderson.

Great place.
Very 1950's vibe. Updated and clean. There was a bench in front of the room so you could sit outside. I arrived early and the owner came to the office inspite of my being early. The rooms have Refrigerated Air.😃 A.K.A. air conditioning. 😁 I would certainly stay again.

Matt our host was very friendly and welcoming and the whole property was very clean and well maintained. An oasis in the middle of nowhere and a great stop over option. Breakfast is available in the room, chocolate milk and chocolate rice crispies - but lots of other good stuff too.
