Even tough we arrived during the posted check-in times, no one was there and I had to call a number for assistance. This neighborhood was not the safest (the least safe feeling place throughout my 4-week trip). The parking lot dirty and very narrow, making parking difficult. The room was adequate and as advertised.

The room was very clean. I had twin beds. Refrigerator, microwave, dishes and silverware. Lacking... a desk to sit at. They do have one tall chair to sit at the counter with. Also on site a larger kitchen and storage for each room. A coin op laundry (bring you own soap). Lots of stores and restaurant (mostly Indian food) and a McDonalds. The shopping center a block over is a huge mall with all your needs available except hardware. 5 miles from the airport make it a good stopover to and from the airport.. All that said not much to do in the area if your looking for entertainment. Price was right. A possible good spot for hostel folks who want to upgrade but also perfect for the weary road traveler I would stay here again no problem. If not available there is a place across the street with the same lay out but no kitchen to use. Both had good prices

Great customer service from friendly and helpful staff. Excellent shared kitchen area with cutlery,dishes,pots,pans. Stove, microwave, toaster and lockers to store food if needed. We used this area for 1 dinner and 2 breakfasts during our stay. Rooms serviced daily. The only negative for me was that I found the internal airflow system quite noisy but when I mentioned this on check out they thanked me for letting them know and said they would look into it. To end on a good note this is definitely value for money.

The room was tidy and spacious for a family of 4. Was not expecting a fridge to be there so it was a bonus. So convenient to go to shops on foot. We were very satisfied with the lodge. The only downside we witnessed was that other guests were locked out and there was no staff at the reception. It wasn't even that late, like 6pm. No matter how many times they tried to ring the reception, they could not get though to them. Fortunately, I could help out by ringing the back reception number prigrammed in our room phone. I felt sorry for the other guests.

Property on arrival had towels everywhere on the floor. The room we stayed in had not been vacuumed and although we stayed for 2 nights, they did make the bed and give us new towels, but still didn\'t vacuum. I wear glasses and even without my glasses on you could see the dirt on the carpet. Thats why my husband and I never left our luggage/bags on the floor and had to wear our shoes until we went to sleep. Plus side is the Hotel staff were nice, its just a shame that the deluxe room we paid for didn\'t feel "deluxe"

Room 2 was very dated and some areas were not that clean. The carpet was stained in several places and the room smelt. It was impossible to sleep as the security light was shining right into the 3 rooms at the front. The pictures didn't match the room which was disappointing. However the room did serve a purpose and was fairly cheep.

We showed up at Three Palms lodge to find they had cancelled over booking and giving our room to someone else. They said they tried to call me but i had never gotten a call from them. The commication between the Motel and Expedia must be faulty because there was nothing in my expedia booking to suggest my booking was cancelled. We were also told we had booked seperate rooms for different nights, and that our my credit card ad declined (i was never given an opptunity to pay online)
