If you're looking for the convenience of being two doors down from a meth dealer, then yes, stay here, but if you are looking for clean, safe and quiet, this is not the place for you. I wasn't sure about the previous reviews because they went from 4 to 2,1 and I thought perhaps there were some upset ex-employees or... More

The motel has been repainted and it bright and colorful. All new pool furniture and the pool and area around it was spotless. New owner ( Harry) very friendly and they are trying hard. Rooms still need work but they show you the room before you sign in. Anything they can do to help you if their pleasure. I would... More

You know Its really hard to believe that the last entery wasn't placed by the owner. New managers dont take over till the 1st and old managers left in disgust.They were the ones trying to do repairs.Everytime they needed something done They paid out of their own pockets. Nothing has improved except the 2 or 3 rooms they keep a... More

We stayed here a year ago and it was awful, vowing never to come back, but on our last visit, as we were driving by, we noticed the pool area had been re-painted and there were new umbrellas as well as lounge chairs. So we decided to give this poor old place another chance. When we walked in we were... More

Please do yourself a favor and book down the street. There are plenty of hotels for the coachella festival .This motel has no amenities, pool is not heated, half the a/cs do not work. Mold,smells, dirty linens, thin towels,Really Awful!!! Bed bug issue in some rooms,phones dont work.Not worth 39$ let alone anything over 100$.

I've stayed here twice. The first time the room's ceiling leaked, it smelled heavily of mildew, and it had to tie the back door shut with fishing line as there was no way to lock it. The second time the room's faucet leaked...and the water looked as it paint had been mixed with it. They do not appear to ever... More

Did a quick one night stay here and it was underwhelming. I can see from other reviews that people have had pretty dramatically dreadful stays here, but my experience wasn't quite that bad. Room was clean enough, things weren't really broken. It was just mostly your standard ugly/basic/rundown motel. Too bad because it seems like it once was/could be retro/cool.... More

The Desert Lodge has to be the dirtiest hotel I’ve ever seen. There was hair everywhere. In the blanket, on the lamp, in the pillowcases… ugh. One bed had a plastic cup and a popcorn kernel underneath. The other had a jellybean and hundreds of clumps of dust. And I found toenail clippings on the carpet, right in the middle... More
