What guests think

At Calipatria Inn And Suites, reviews describe an older, heavily worn property with significant cleanliness problems—frequent reports of dirty rooms, stains, odors, and bugs—alongside numerous maintenance issues like weak or no hot water, malfunctioning appliances, and a closed pool.

Many guests found the owner and staff friendly and accommodating, though some reported unresponsive or rude front desk interactions and difficulties obtaining refunds. The location is remote but convenient for visiting Salvation Mountain and the Salton Sea, and the town offers very limited dining or shopping. A few reviewers found their rooms comfortable, quiet, and in some cases spacious. Expect very basic lodging with inconsistent standards.

The door to my room would not open unless you put all your weight into forcing it open. The manager showed me how it was done. I was going to ask for another room, but my guess is they were all the same: rundown, dirty, lukewarm water, torn drapes, pool and hot tub were drained

The room was clean and nicely furnished, but the bedding was a bit old/worn. Bathroom cleanliness could be better. Fridge didn't work and the AC was quite noisy. It was a place to stay in the middle of nowhere. I've been in worse.

The room was filthy, not hot water, toilet would not flush, dirty soap in the shower which obviously had not been cleaned. There were multiple spiders in the corners of the walls and spider eggs on the floors by the baseboards. When the front desk was advised of this they said they were aware and didn't try to remedy the situation and they were very nasty. When this was reported to Expedia and an Expedia agent asked about this, the person at the front desk admitted it was all true and he was nasty to the Expedia agent as well. The room was unsafe and unhealthy and management doesn't care. I would guess that the all the rooms are that way and would caution anyone who thinks of staying there to not do it.

The place is so filthy. The bathroom is disgusting... toilet not cleaned, bugs everywhere, tub filthy and the towels have, what looks like, blood stains and black stains and the crickets and spiders are everywhere. Cobwebs with spiders and carpet beetles all literally all over the walls and windows. Indoors and outdoors. The mini fridge looks like it hasn't been cleaned for years and smells bad. Mini bar smells awful. Broken furniture, trash and broken washing machines were sitting around the waterless pool. Broken ice machine. Broken sidewalks. There was also a serious problem checking in. If we could give less than 1 star we would.

I like that it was in the area I needed but it was a bait and switch. It was filthy run down dead bugs everywhere. Spiders dust everywhere didn't even stay there one night. Couldn't stay there because of my granddaughter's asthma. Please make sure you know where you're getting. Do not sign anything till you look. It was a horrible experience and I do not want anybody to go through that

Die Unterkunft an sich ist gar nicht so schlecht - höchstens man erwartet 5* Hotel - das ist sie aber nicht. Der Besitzer ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Es ist ihm sehr wichtig, das sich seine Hotelgäste immer wohlfühlen. Die Zimmer sid groß, aber dies ist glaube der Standard in den USA. Leider sind sie auch etwas heruntergekommenen und brauchen mehr sls nur einen Farbanstrich. Im Großen und Ganzen: Es ist nicht perfekt und verbesserungsfähig, aber man sollte auch den günstigen Preis beachten.

When I went in to tell him nothing worked, and that the room was dirty he told me I had no choice as he couldn’t change my room. Refused to give me a refund. Please don’t stay here

Reserved a room for two landscaping crew members. They checked in, took showers. When one laid down in the bed he started to itch after about 15 minutes. He pulled back the covers and found blood stains on the sheet. He found bite marks on his arms. Needless to say, they didn't stay. They went in to talk to the host on duty but got nowhere. The seemed to be a communication issue.

The staff was friendly and helpful. We stayed here for Salvation mountain trip which was beautiful. The town has only Donut shop ( delicious Sandwiches) and Doller general. Me and my girl crossed the border to get a Sushi lunch. Had a interesting great trip staying here! Super quiet! If u dont mind the bit of Cow smell this is a very chill Inn.
