This is one of the worst hotels I've stayed at in or outside of the United States. From the dirty rooms, the inadequate equipment, the shoddy bedding and the stench all have led me to forego ever going to this place in this life or the next one. If you have an enemy, buy them a room here. If you... more

My husband and I stayed here two nights on a break in our month long trip last August/September. Did not expect much for the price in Palm Springs but was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the rooms and halls are dated but ours was not dirty, smelly or infested. Our ground-floor room was first entered from the hall which was a bit... more

I have no idea why the DHS (Department of Health Services) has not shut this place down. It is not even fit for "desert rats". I stayed there on business because my ususal haunt, the Las Brises was full. Take a hint folks, in Palm Springs if it's cheap, think twice! more

VJ, the manager, may be one of the nicer guys around. The hotel is $39 per night and this is a case of you get what you pay for. The pool is clean and sparkling. The rooms are clean but extremely dated; the bathrooms are a cut below my college dorm. If you want a really cheap hotel in a... more

Nasty, nasty nasty. If you like filthy, small, outdated rooms. This is the place for you. The temp. was around 112 that day, and the air conditioning did not work. I am surprised that motels of this nature can even remain in business. The staff was more interested in my credit card, than my happiness. There was nothing that the... more

I used AARP to find a hotel to stay at while in Palm Springs for a family reunion. I called AARP two days prior to the family arrival for a reservation. I visited the property a day before check-in. I immediately informed the owner that his property was not satisfactory and requested a refund. He refused. This office of this... more

So there we were a group of friends off to Palm Springs to enjoy a weekend of fun in the sun. Now granted, it was spur of the moment and all the hotels in the area seemed to be booked up; except for The Desert Lodge. While the price was right, that was the only thing right! The rooms were... more

We got there and the room was extremely hot and the air didn't work. called down to the desk and the manager/owner came and took a look. at least... more
