Desert Lodge

The owner was friendly, but the room was dirty. The toilet was dirty and the beds were in poor condition. The floors were also dirty and the wash clothes and towels were so thin u could see through them when they were wet. They also hurt your skin when using them to wash up and dry off. The refrigerator was warm until we figured out how to adjust the temperature because the numbers were rubbed off the temperature dial. We could not watch tv because the satellite or whatever the tv was running with kept freezng up every 2 minutes during a program. The pool was dirty so we couldn't swim. The ice machine was broken. The price was ok, but the hotel could use a lot of improvement on the cleanliness and amenities.

The property is dated. It looks like something out of 1960. Old beds, old furniture. Dated bathrooms. One of the pools was drained. Not that I went there to use the pool. I did not interact with any of the staff so I could not rate it. Only when signing in and I think it was the owner. For approximately $200/night, I respected more. I even used up my travel credit.

NO REAL HOT WATER, CABLE FROZEN ALL THE TIME, DIRTY LOOKING POOL, BACK OF HOTEL LOOKS LIKE CONDEMED HOTEL, NON WORKING CARS STORED ON PROPERTY

The pool was dirty and we wanted to swim

The property was so old, did not have a trash can. The best were ripped apart, The mattress was so old and so uncomfortable i could feel the wires on my back. They did not have enough towels. There was medicine left behind. Meaning they don't even clean the rooms. Has very heavy smoke smell.Had two rags for 3 people . This was just an ugly property. Not worth the price. The front desk guy was nice and the pool was clean

The property does not look as nice as the photos. The pool was dirty, there were cigarette burns in the blanket that had been sewn closed. When we requested a new blanket, it arrived in the same condition as the first one. The bathroom was unkept and we had to ask for a microwave. There is no coffee or tea station. Upon trying to check out after 8am, we couldn’t reach anyone. There was a had written sign to ring the bell but the bell was just a broken piece of plastic. There was a phone by the office and in the room. Tried to call 0 to reach someone and it rang busy. Ended up having to leave the key in the room with the maid service sign on the door. The staff were kind but it’s not somewhere I would stay again unless desperate.

This property needs major renovations cleaning and repairs. AC unit took six hours each day to cool down. The curtains had many holes including burn holes. There are no screens on the windows. No bathmat. No hand towels. No washcloths. Mold on shower curtain. Hot water took at least five minutes to arrive. Shower curtain rod barely stays up. The microwave was missing a leg. The tv stations would freeze up every 10 minutes or so. The floor was dirty. Under the bed hadn’t been swept. There’s no security peep hole or chain lock on the door. There’s no ice available, machine is broken. Pool had much floating stuff from trees.

The room was filthy. Blood stains on the sides of both of the beds. Yellow and brown smears and stains on the walls near the vanity area and bathroom. Walls looked like they’d never been cleaned. Tub looked like it had never been cleaned. Comforter on bed was dusty and stained. Pillows seemed clean, but they were extremely cheap and uncomfortable. Tv worked but it was very small and old. Room was quiet. Parking was easy. The outside of the property looked nice, but the inside was rundown and not well maintained. I would not stay here again.

the property and room was falling apart. unsafe, exposed electrical wires etc. pool not heated, hot tub broken

Fridge and tv did not work. WiFi poor. Thin, small towels. We were there for four days. The two times we asked for room to be made up, no one did so. The pool did get cleaned. Get what you pay for…

Room had never been cleaned, ever. Mold, stains, food in the drawers, hair clumps of many different colors clumped in different places of the bed, within the sheets. The tumble weeds of hairs had ‘crumbs’. Flooring peeled up, toilet paper shoved in the crack of the connecting room. Cords dangling. Everything dusty. Less than a 20 sheets on the toilet paper roll. Make up stains on the wash clothes and hairs, stains on the towel. Chairs and bedding and anything else in this room was filthy. My boyfriend and I did not stay the night here, we did not feel safe or comfortable enough to even lay in the bed fully clothed. One bed rolled away from the wall. Mattress covered in piss stains and brown stains. Floor had dirt, sand and who knows what else every where. Even the soap unopened had soap residue on it. We left after 10 minutes max. Non refundable. Didn’t even get the room we prepaid for. And we called in advance to confirm the availability. Either way. Not worth it. Please save yourself. I took lots of pictures of the horror before my eyes. Did not stay long enough to watch any cockroaches or mice. But behind the building is a lot of broken and disgusting mattresses. Don’t do it! Cheap is not everything! There is a reason. Safety comes first

Place its really dirty and in bad condition, fridge does not work, AC is full of dust, both of my beds were badly stain of something brown, ice machine does not work with posible meldew. a non smoking room smells like cigarettes everywhere, in my whole weekend i didnt get the room clean a single time, no clean towel and toilet got clog. To make this worse place charge me extra to day I check in just for getting double twin bed instead of a king bed.

Room has mold and urine stained beds. Area is filled with drug addicts. Manager refused to do anything in the way of refund for 2nd night after we left. Don’t stay here.

The staff is very nice and attentive. The room was dirty. Has cockroaches and stains on the sheets. The bast of the toilet was dirty and the shower spray was bad, more water was going out the tub spout then was the shower head.

Florida Project welfare motel- complete with broken blinds, filthy bathroom with complementary blood on the bathtub & walls, smelled like a smokers lounge shag carpet and should be avoided at all costs

It was the dirtiest motel I’ve ever stayed in. I had to ask twice for towels and washcloths, and they were stained and old the shower was filthy the dumpster was full of mattresses. I’m hoping there was no bedbugs. I didn’t sleep all night because it was so dirty and I was worried about bedbugs. The guy at the desk was friendly, but it was an awful experience.

The property was dirty and smelly when checking in. I was going to give them a chance. We made our way to the room and there was garbage laying in the hallway. We opened our room and the smell was atrocious. It was a musty moldy smell. It must off been an adjoining room, but they had that door duct taped around the edges. I wouldn’t even set my suitcase on the ground. We turned around and walked out. There were some shady people hanging around and we couldn’t get out of there fast enough. My note to SEL is always stay in a reputable chain hotel. Never again!

Smell was horrible. Room was supposedly non-smoking but the smell of cigarettes was pungent. AC did not work properly. Spent the weekend in 100 degree heat with a barely usable AC unit. Bathroom sink was coming off. Smell lingers on everything. I’ve been home for a couple of days and I can still smell the horrid smell. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Dirty sheets, pubes in shower, white stuff all over the sheets asked for new sheets they said it’s clean they washed them Tuesday when we got there Thursday

Be honest, this property is not perfect. You get what you paid for. But the bed is comfortable. No bed bugs. Microwave and fridge in the room. That asve you money if you don't wanna eat out. This place is fine if you are a budget traveler.

I guess you get what you pay for. This facility was extremly run down. Rooms had paint chilling, AC was extremly loud, sheets had stains and hair on them, large gaps between the doors and Ac unit so you could see outside, no privacy curtains.

Not a 5 star hotel but rooms are clean beds and towels were clean A/C worked hot water in shower worked there a lot remodeling going on right now but it’s not in the way

The room was in dire need of an upgrade. The bathroom needed replacing. The top of the toilet tank was broken and a sharp edge was above the flush handle. The bedspreads were filthy. At least the sheets were clean. No smoke alarm or fire extinguisher’s in the ceiling.

Great location but the property could use some updating. The sheets were clean, AC blew cold and the water in the shower was hot but it was very dated

Our room was missing part of the door frame on the front door, as though it had been kicked in previously. There were multiple outlets missing cover plates. Our shower didn't work, but the staff was able to come fix it. There was staining and discolored paint on the walls. On the second day both of our key cards stopped working for our door. There were limited amenities with a microwave and a mini fridge. No coffee in the room.

The bed was very old, hard and springs poking me. It smelled like bug spray and there was an outer door on one of the walls that had been taped up to cover a big hole.

Great service... management great people very understanding and caring

my overall stay was amazing staff were all very helpful and friendly the guy at the front desk let me pricematch and gave me the same price that i would get online super friedly i would definitely remain to stay here and i recommended it to my local friends as well

Great staff. Super easy going and kind.

Staff is super nice and helpful. Quick check in, really easy. But the conditions of the hotel are abit left to be desired, but you get what you paid for. Rooms are abit stuffy and hot, even with the AC pumping. The beds are big and spacious, abit stiff. Shower has strong pressure, but would benefit from in-room body shampoo gel. But again, on a budget and mind your business, easy place to stay.

Consistent, friendly service, helpful cleaning staff, clean facilities... the proprietor cares about his customers and his facility. A hidden gem in the desert, for sure.

Nice owners and a safe place to stay in a wonderful location near everything!

Could not check in, no response at all from calls or buzzer. Went somewhere else.

Harry came right up with the pillows and to check on the shower head. Thanks Desert Lodge!

Property manager was great and went above and beyond. Kept my bag for me while I went out for the day. Offered extra water.

Friendly staff. Decent pricing. Rooms were adequate. Would stay there again

Good location relative to downtown. Classic 70s Palm Springs. Good size rooms. Needs some work and that may be happening. Friendly helpful owners.

Cool little vintage motel just south of downtown Palm Springs. Great location, it has a pool. You get what you pay for, the property could use a little tlc The towels were not adequate. I had to buy my own towels at Walmart. The staff is friendly enough. This place is good if you just need a place to crash for the evening. On the bright side, it’s down the street from Elmers café, which has the best brunch in town.

Price , distance to my venue

The property overall definitely needs to be updated. They have a great location within the city but many of the other hotels in the immediate around them all seem to be in need of some investment.
