“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

“Relieved”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2006

Travelodge's website doesn't do justice of what I found upon driving onto the property. The property looks so much better! It was salmon-colored or maybe even a pinkish or southwest style. I was a little bit uneasy booking this property based on the pictures alone, but thought for the price during Labor Day weekend was attractive enough. It's about 2 blocks away from the Sands and 3 blocks from the El Dorado; not too bad, but considering the area, we still drove to the casinos. We had gone to Reno for the Rib Cook Off.

Check in: We checked in a little after 2pm, but found that 2 of the 3 rooms we booked were not ready yet. In fact, the room I was told was ready wasn't really ready yet. The housekeeper was still making the bed and replenishing the toiletries in the bathroom. It was about a 10 minute wait, but it was nothing to get too upset about.

The room (#233): It's just your basic run of the mill motel room with king bed, table and 2 chairs, TV, and AC. The extras were the refrigerator, shampoo/conditioner, vanity, and walk-in closet. I had plenty of towels and the water pressure was excellent. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were really lumpy. The TV surprisingly had alot of channels to choose from. I had a quiet location set back in the corner of the property away from the street and sunlight! But it was still fine because I needed darkness to sleep. Motel room curtains tend not to shut correctly, but my room was set so back, I didn't have to worry.

Check out: Because I had 3 rooms booked and said that we would pay for our rooms separately, there was a miscommunication between myself and the owners. It was quickly resolved, and the owner (the husband) gave me his business card and told me to call him, if I happen to get double-charged for one of the 3 rooms. He was very apologetic and made sure the problem was solved. I was impressed!

I was also impressed of other staff who treated my friends' hotel room. There was a problem with a broken lamp and the housekeeper and the service guy were professional and apologetic concerning that issue.

I would definitely stay at this motel again. It was like a Motel 6, but cheaper!

“Not bad for the price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2006

person found this review helpful

I stayed at this lovely motel for one night was pleasantly surprised. I used a coupon rate of $40/night and would easily have paid $60/night.

The room was clean, the parking lot was safe and the hotel is in walking distance to the major downtown casinos.

“Horrible Experience”

people found this review helpful

Only had 1 room available of the 3 we booked. Charged my card for the other rooms anyway and continued to charge the card everyday following until I went through a nightmare to clear it all up! Hotel was smelly and in need of some serious TLC. Asked for a crib 3 times. They said they would bring it and never did. Be glad you read this review before staying at this place.
