It was a serviceable Motel when we needed one. I was very glad we found a last minute place when our tent was ruined in some high winds. The water pressure in the shower is amazing, was great for getting the camping dust out of my long hair. However the shower floor tile had bad mildew and the old curtain let water leak all over the floor. Overall the boron Motel is inexpensive and served us well in a pinch, but overall it’s pretty rundown and would not be my first choice in the area.

OK this and many other of the businesses in downtown Boron are from days past they are not new. That said, people are very friendly. The room I had was small, but comfortable and clean. The lady who checked me in is very pleasant and easy to get along with. So it is not the Hilton. I didn’t want to stay at the Hilton. I just wanted to place that was comfortable and quiet and close walking distance to the restaurant which is like two blocks away people they were very nice. So yes I would do it again if I’m ever in that area .

Meh
Your basic, run of the mill, small town hotel. Didn’t expect anything fancy, but a cup for water would have been nice. TV came on but couldn’t change the channel or adjust the volume.

Ants and bed bugs!!!
The room was ant infested and I was awakened by a bed bug crawling on me. It was very disgusting. I left in the middle of the night. I tried calling the front desk and I went there but apparently they were sleeping. No answer!

A Pleasant Surprise!
For what is available in Boron this is a pleasant surprise. Clean and neat with simple amenities. Make sure you eat at the 20 mule team café just a block away. You get a real "taste" for the town with good-eats!

Disappointing given this time of Covid that there was dust on the furniture. Otherwise it was fine for a quick night sleep after traveling.

Nice little motel for a short stay.
Nice little motel. Great for a night ir two. Bathroom could use an update but it appeared they were working on rooms as doing just that during my visit. Safe parking off the road. Close walking distance to the two (both good) restaurants in town. In short I would stay there again

Nice and comfy
I arrived around 9:30 at night, didn't give notice I'd be late like usual since I was driving. Front door was locked but the owners/front desk was right there to buzz me in. Nice room, quiet street...right across from the BNSF mainline so trains might wake you up if you're a light sleeper. I'd stay there again though.

The room was as I expected: small, no frills, but clean and plenty of A/C. The buildings look like they date from the 1920s and have been well-maintained and upgraded. I could hear the trains passing, but the sound was not so loud as to be annoying.

Not even in Business anymore . . . !
This motel is no longer in business. They at least sent me down the street to other motel that actually honored the reservation. Cost $90 for an old room that was maybe worth $40

Home of BORAX.
This is a very old building in a small rundown city, but it is in decent condition and clean. One of 2 motels in the city. Close to the 3 restaurants and 2 museums in town. Owner was a very nice lady. Our 1 night stay was comfortable.

Clean room and good price
The room was clean and the Woman who runs/owns the hotel is very nice and helpful. The train runs right near the hotel but that did not bother me. The local area has good places to eat but the options are limited. Over all the room was clean and for the price it is a great place to stay.

Not so much
The property is not in great shape. We have stayed here for several years in a row, because it is convenient, but I think this will be our last year. It was freezing cold, and when we turned on the heater it smelled so bad. Just aged.

A nice motel in Boron...
All in all a great place to stay if you're ever in Boron. Directly across from the Twenty Mule Team and Saxon Aerospace Museums and within a couple blocks of two diners and small store. Friendly staff and clean room. The bathroom is a bit on the small side, but very functional, and the road is near the tracks, so you'll hear trains. While in town or passing through, a visit to the Borax Visitor Center overlooking the Rio Tinto borax mine is time well spent. Will definitely stay there again.
