What guests think

At Best Western Desert Inn, travelers consistently praise friendly staff, central location, and generally comfortable rooms, while noting this older, exterior-entry property can be noisy near the main road and shows age in furnishings and infrastructure.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many report very clean rooms, but others cite dirty carpets or bathrooms and occasional pests like cockroaches and bugs. Breakfast earns frequent compliments for a hot selection, though some guests found items like eggs, bacon, coffee, or juice poor. Parking is free but often tight, and amenities are basic with a small business center and a modest pool. Expect a simple, convenient stay with basic comforts and variable quality.

Check in process was smooth. The door to the room was not very responsive to either of the keycards that were given to me. It took a minute to get back in each time that I left the room. The room was clean. The “business center” was a single computer and a single printer. The computer was very slow and would not load the login page to Dropbox. As such, I could not print the documents that I needed to print. The continental breakfast included cereal but, curiously, no milk. The coffee had lots of large grounds at the bottom of the cup.

This was a very clean, very pleasant hotel. I normally don't like exterior entrance properties, but this one felt safe. The rooms were comfortable, secure, and clean. You could hear a little noise from the main road, but it wasn't really a problem when we were sleeping. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was quite good.

Bed was comfortable, but had to have extra blankets brought up because there was only one very thin blanket on the bed. Light in sink room shines directly at bed, so can't use that light and still let somebody sleep. Tub drained much slower than the shower filled it. A/C in bedroom was extremely loud, so had to turn it off and turn on A/C in TV/living room; worked okay. In-room jacuzzi tub had a lot of grit/sand in the bottom before using. Door to room took excessive force to twist handle far enough to unlatch door; at first thought it wasn't working, though light turned green. Lots of issues in this older hotel.

an overpriced motel for what it was. The room had been redone- but the bathroom was still old and not redone. I could hear everything that was happening in the room next to me. I didn't feel especially safe in the area- as had booked without much knowledge of the area and was trying to find the most economical place to stay in town- which is very hard to find as the hotels are highly overpriced for what you get. Thankful it was only a one night stay

Was an unintended stop on an extra stressful stay further down the road. Check in was very late and desk staff was wonderful. Location and price were good. Checking out was a bit stressful as clerk did not inform me (perhaps i should have known) that my turning in one of my keycards would result in not being able to access my room for my last load with the other. I was trying to save time, ended up not accomplishing that. My room was clean, comfortable and i got the good rest i needed to continue my journey.

This place is gross… staff was clueless about policies, no EV charging as advertised and the rooms smell dank like old smoke that was covered up with air freshener. Other residents smoke marijuana on the premises and the gaps in the doors are so big that you can see light through them. The smoke comes in too. So bad, I will never stay here again. This feels like a motel 6

The Breakfast Buffet changed to heated freeze dried eggs and bacon. The eggs looked like the plastic kind that kids get with their play kitchens and they had very little taste and were the consistency of rubber. The bacon was paper thin, looked like bacon imprinted on cardboard. The orange juice tasted like watered down Tang. Luckily the bread was real as was the butter for it.
