We booked the hotel last minute because of Memorial Weekend, everywhere else is above $200 even your cheap motel. This hell hole was charging $175 if you walk in that Fri.-Sun. The place looked pretty run down, paint is peeling off, writing on the walls, long hair in my bed, dirty bathtub, dingy carpet, phone, tv, lamp doesn't work, it... More

Frankly - we elected not to stay. Went one block down and thank god the Best Western had a room left. It was better to pay twice then stay in this hell hole. BTW - my key wouldn't work. The manager came to help....when he finally got the door open a middle aged drunken gal staggered out of the room.... More

Let me count the ways: 1. No towels. When I asked for towels they did not have any. The manager said they would be sent to the room. I came back 2 hours later and he gave me one towel - there were two of us in the room and and I said I need two. So, he then told... More

This place should be condemned by the city of Palm Springs, CA!! The room had stained nasty dirty carpeting, no trash cans in the room, no Kleenex in the holder, bathroom sink wouldn't drain, water barely came out of the shower, no remote for the TV, and no radio clock like the advertise. All in all this place is a... More

Regrettably, we arrived in Palm Springs on the weekend of the tennis tournament in Indian Wells. After going from hotel-to-hotel and having no luck in finding a room, we ended up being directed to the Desert Lodge. Initially, we thought we were lucky when we were informed there was a vacancy, and so we agreed to pay $200+ for the... More

The room was not cleaned after the first night but manager gave me towels. The ice machine was not operable so no ice. The tub was peeling and the tiered towel rack fell off the wall. (it was...

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

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
