“Worst Experience of My Life”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2010
2
people found this review helpful

The manager Lisa not only tried to rent my weekly out from under me, her "husband" would not fix my screen or window, they invaded my privacy, did not forward my mail which was a pay check! and called the police after They (Lisa and Man person) threaten me with eviction. I spent the night in jail anyway and lost my job. In these current times I hope no one wastes their money time and new employment on being definetively over charge and insulted. Signed 'A Customer' not a Solicitress!

“Awsome Beds! - Great location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2009
1
person found this review helpful

Reservations made through - RCI and Worldmark exchange.

WOW - We loved your beds!! Great decor. and furnishings. A little smaller than our Worldmark 1 bedroom place - great location. The pool wasn't operating at the time we were there, but we only stayed 1 night, wanted to try out your resort after staying at WM for a week (the WM on LV blvd.)Really loved the service, manager evening, cont. breakfast and general warmness of the staff. The other guests were not as friendly as the WM guests, but we don't care too much about being chatty any way. They just seemed kind of snobby. Thanks for the experience. Phyllis

“You Cant Be Here!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2007
5
people found this review helpful

Well, I am a resident of Reno, and my wife came off of an 8 hour flight to visit me. She was very tired, and we were looking for a place to stay. I had a couple of people recommend me to try out the Desert Rose. I went to drop her off at the office to inquire about it, and apparently she decided to get a room.

I made the mistake of going to the soda machine outside of the office and smoking a quick cigarette. Some guy came out of the closest room to the office (who is apparently the part manager or owner) and started questioning me and tellign me theres an 8 PM curfew there. I explained to him that I had just brought my wife from the airport to try to find a place for the week. He started lecturing me about how it's not allowed there and that if she was renting the place by herself I would have to leave the premises immediately.

Yes, people welcome back to grade school. They will call the police on any visitors to any room after 8 pm on ANY NIGHT. Absolutely rediculous. You would think a motel that isnt even half full at the time we arrived there would like a little bit of patronism, but apparently not. These 2 young guys (the one that lives behind the front office, and the guy working in the office) didn't seem to care one way or another.

After the exchange with the young guy in the apartment there, my wife cancelled her weekly (probably would have been monthly) transaction and we decided to move on. This place seems to be left in the hands of some young guys that have no clue what it means to earn a living or how to judge or evaluate the value of a good paying non trouble causing customer. The whole situation left us without a place to stay for the night and I will post this experience and more on my other hotel reccommendations blog, and everywhere else around the internet where this hotel is concerned. i wont even start to comment on how trashy the place looked because it was totally irrelveant to my experience.

“Econo Lodge not Desert Rose Inn”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2007
1
person found this review helpful

I did not stay at this hotel. I booked throught AAA in 5-07. After a late night flight, I spent 1&1/2 hour looking for this hotel only to find it was an old Econo Lodge. No where did it say Desert Rose Inn and no street #. When I finally found it at Midnight, the office was closed. They agreed not to charge me and I stayed somewhere else.

“Cheapest one we found, might not go again”

Location was not great. Room was not very pleasant, i.e. small and little dirty. Could smell smoke even though it was non-smoking room. Good for a nights stay, and don't want to spend day or multiple nights
