Outback Oasis Motel now DESERT AIR

Best hotel around for 200 miles. The owner is friendly as hell and extremely knowledgeable about reptiles and natural history of the area. Hotel is pet friendly. The canyon behind the establishment is filled with fossils and cool native cacti. Price is very affordable, too. If you stay anywhere else in Sanderson you're being ripped off. The other place down the road was an over-priced dump.

The hotel was cute and quaint and very clean! The service was welcoming and informative. The pond and outdoor area was teaming with goldfish, blossoming Lilly pads, and even local wildlife in the presents of guests. We will definitely be guests at minimum (that’s a lot considering we are from Idaho) twice a year from here on out. Thank you Roy and Ruth for a great visit and stay!

We had another 2 hour drive to Del Rico at 9 pm. Stopped here because we were too tired to continue. Nice rustic rooms with tile and beautiful quilts on the beds. Super clean and comfortable. Will stay here again the next time we are passing through. Wifi, TV, refrigerator, microwave and air conditioning. Cute little pond in the foyer. And a nice picnic table for cards, making some breakfast, or drinking your morning coffee.

We were on a theme vacation, where we traveled the back roads of Texas with no real agenda or deadlines. We drove into Sanderson in June when the temperatures in the early evening were still above 100F. The staff at the motel was very friendly, and accommodated us with clean rooms which had COLD AC! Slept soundly all night. The highlight of the stay was the "Snake Museum" off the lobby, and the building in the back of the complex where they kept and fed many other snakes. My room was 20yds from this building, but it was great! I talked about our stay with the snakes for months, and it has now become a family legend.

This is a good place to stay if you're heading from eastern texas to big bend national park. Ruth is very nice. It's a mom and pop place but you get good value for your money. the rooms are clean and neat and the TV works.

Nice older motel. Clean and comfortable. Bed was comfortable, cable had premium channels, shower worked well, free WiFi. Be aware that restaurant are very limited in Sanderson. We went out at 6pm Saturday night to find a place to eat and every restaurant was closed. We ended up buying microwave food at gas station and cooking it in our room. We survived.

We spend a great deal of time on the road and always consider it a special treat to find a pretty little family owned place like this for a very reasonable price. Our room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. There is a garage between every unit so you can’t hear a sound coming from either side. We had a breakfast taco at the place across the street the next morning. We’ll definitely be back!

Nice and quiet and clean after visiting our camp in the dessert. Very affordable too. Nice coy pond with lily's pads. We never make it before the snake exhibit closes and we leave early as it's a 10 hour drive back home.
