Brad's Desert Inn

Check-in was just fine- no issues - very polite young man. The train noise was no big deal for us. The only real issue we have is that within minutes of putting our dog's feeding bowl down on the floor it was overtaken by ants - a ton of ants! If you're traveling without a pet, this property is just fine but when traveling with a pet it's not a good idea.

Old school room, nice charm. Hotel is by railroad tracks and trains run every 5 minutes. Hard to sleep. Parking was tight. Dated but clean room

I have to say, I was really disappointed with this property. I was trying to go outside of the big hotel chains, and in the photos, Brad's looked really cute. But the exterior is shabby (asphalt falling apart, the whole thing needs to be repainted, overflowing trash cans visible, etc). And the interior looks cute but is not in great shape. (The shower has a major drip that went all night.). The internet was really slow. And there is a major and very busy train line right behind the property, which didn't really bother me but might bother some people. Other reviewers said there was breakfast here with a cute little breakfast room; on my visit, though, no breakfast room, no breakfast. So not sure what was going on with that. I think this place could be really cute, but its not there yet, and as a solo woman traveler, I wasn't super comfortable with it.

I stayed at Brad’s Desert Inn for one night and it was a lovely experience. The property has that classic Route 66 charm but everything felt well cared for and maintained. We didn’t get a chance to meet the staff since it was a no contact check-in, but the instructions we received were easy to follow. Our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The location is great as well, with easy access to restaurants, gas stations and cafes. I’d happily stay here again!

Brad's is a vintage Route 66 type drive in motor hotel. It has been refurbished with some very nice interior work (I had a rustic wood cabin wall as my headboard). Staff and management were extremely personable and I enjoyed interacting with them as much as I did staying in this old school motel.
