I stayed at avid hotel by IHG in Van Horn, Texas for one night on 11-30-2025.
At first, when booking, the impression was very good—it looked as if the entire facility had been remodeled or newly built.
However, once we entered the room, we were disappointed and regretted the choice.
I requested a one-bedroom, but was told 'only a double bed was available', so I paid $168.37. Seeing that the parking lot was nearly empty. The parking lot was nearly empty—leading me to suspect the claim of 'no one-bedroom available' was questionable— booked the double-bed room anyway.
I think that for the price of $168.37, it was not worth it. I had paid $123.25 on 11-29-2025 at the Hilton DoubleTree in Phoenix, which offered much better facilities. Of course, the difference may be due to breakfast being included here, and the fact that it was a double bed instead of a one-bedroom, as well as the smaller city location—but overall, it was not satisfactory.
When I turned on the heater, it gave off dust and odor, so I could not use it. Because of the cold, I could not sleep comfortably. The soundproofing was poor, and I was disturbed by the noise of cars from Highway 10, occasional train sounds, and strong winds outside the window.
The small refrigerator in the room did not work, and overall the amenities were lacking. There was a small safe provided, but it did not seem very useful. The room itself was rather small, with no closet. In the bathroom, there were no cups for brushing teeth. Breakfast was average.
As my wife also complained, we will not stay at this hotel again, nor would we recommend it.
