“Better Than We Expected”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2010

people found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed here two nights on a break in our month long trip last August/September. Did not expect much for the price in Palm Springs but was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the rooms and halls are dated but ours was not dirty, smelly or infested. Our ground-floor room was first entered from the hall which was a bit dark but not a problem. The sliding glass door opened to a small patio with two chairs just off the parking lot so we were able to park right outside and bring in our luggage through that door...a blessing as we are both handicapped. Also, a place to sit and have a smoke as the room was non-smoking (yes, we shut the door while we were outside smoking). The room itself was large and comfortable, as was the bed. The pool area (huge pool) resembles something you might see in a late 50's early 60's movie. sparkling clean water and deck area, palm trees, comfy lounges and chairs, plenty of tables plus a whirlpool for your aches and pains. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and, if we are in the area, will stay again.

I have no idea why the DHS (Department of Health Services) has not shut this place down. It is not even fit for "desert rats".

I stayed there on business because my ususal haunt, the Las Brises was full. Take a hint folks, in Palm Springs if it's cheap, think twice!

“This place is a dump but a great value”

VJ, the manager, may be one of the nicer guys around. The hotel is $39 per night and this is a case of you get what you pay for. The pool is clean and sparkling. The rooms are clean but extremely dated; the bathrooms are a cut below my college dorm. If you want a really cheap hotel in a good location, this could be it. Don't expect anything and you just might be pleasantly surprised but if you have a strong sense of smell, you may have to avoid this place.

“don't even go there!”

Nasty, nasty nasty. If you like filthy, small, outdated rooms. This is the place for you. The temp. was around 112 that day, and the air conditioning did not work. I am surprised that motels of this nature can even remain in business. The staff was more interested in my credit card, than my happiness. There was nothing that the motel could have done to cause me to stay there. I'm serious people DON'T GO THERE!!!!! In addition, go down the road to Palm Desert, and you will find very nice places to stay for just a few dollars more per night.
