I stayed at this hotel twice. The first time it was ok, ya know it was cheap so I knew it couldn't be great but it wasn't horrible. The second time I was there not only did the price raise to be ABOVE motel six and the quality is 10 times worse. My brothers had stopped by to drop off... More

Did a quick one night stay here and it was underwhelming. I can see from other reviews that people have had pretty dramatically dreadful stays here, but my experience wasn't quite that bad. Room was clean enough, things weren't really broken. It was just mostly your standard ugly/basic/rundown motel. Too bad because it seems like it once was/could be retro/cool.... More

The Desert Lodge has to be the dirtiest hotel I’ve ever seen. There was hair everywhere. In the blanket, on the lamp, in the pillowcases… ugh. One bed had a plastic cup and a popcorn kernel underneath. The other had a jellybean and hundreds of clumps of dust. And I found toenail clippings on the carpet, right in the middle... More

I needed a room for a night, nothing fancy, so I could attend a business meeting in Palm Springs the following early morning. The Desert Lodge was close to where I needed to go, and the pics if found on line made it look ok. I called and confirmed they had WiFi access which was key for me, so I... More

If you are homeless, then it's a toss up as to whether this place is a step up or not. If you are not homeless, then you should never, ever, stay at this hotel. Ever. Here’s my experience – I called a few hotels earlier in the day to check on availability. I spoke with Natasha, one of the owners,... More

Let me paint a picture for you of what this place is inside and out: - Uneven colored walls - Huge cracks and cockroach-infested holes in bathroom - Cigarette burns on bed sheets, hair strands on pillow cases - Extremely dirty carpet - Vomit-stained shutters - Disgusting stains on TV remote And the list really goes on.. But you get... More

What a dump! This hotel needs to be smashed to the ground and rebuilt. We had a cockroach in our room, our room reeked of smoke, the wifi was horrendous (dont say you have it if its been broken for months). Stay at the travelodge next door, way better! More

A one night stay here was not particularly pleasant although the owner was helpful. Rooms were clean but very run down, no evidence of bed bugs as noted in previous reviews. More

Absolutely, positively the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. It wouldn't even have been worth the $34 they falsely advertised on their billboard by the entrance, which the manager admitted was "just to get people in.". It was extremely dirty, the whole place was falling apart, the pool was unusable, the walls were paper thin and the worst part was... More

This is an older PS Lodge, a little rough around the edges but we've had clean rooms and friendly service. Great location and comfortable pool and spa, with no hours! We've had weekend getaways in PS with more expensive rooms and just as rough. Don't expect fancy, lavish accomodations in this price range...it won't happen in Palm Springs. We have... More
