The first time we stayed, it was excelent. Totally worth 150$. 2nd time we stayed, 200 a night and we got a room which the bathroom was completely destroyed. Door was broken, faucet was broken, shower wouldnt drain, toilet handle was inaccessable. Just ruined the stay. Management said they inherited the property like that.

Desert Lodge is just a basic no frills motor inn that provides a comfortable bed and shower . Thats it. Dont expect anything fancy. That is was Desert Lodge is. I recommend that if you are concerned that you may not like the room ask to see the room before paying. The pictures can exaggerate what you may or may not like about the property. I just needed a cheap place to stay for a week and thats it.

Honestly, the rooms are in very bad condition; they're not clean, the drawers are broken, the sheets are dirty, and the floor has holes. And the bathroom? Don't even get me started. But the receptionist and the staff in general are very friendly, but I won't be staying at that hotel again.

By far the worst motel experience I’ve ever had . When I walked into the room, it wasn’t clean the blankets smelled like old smoke, and the furniture was moved around and not put Spoke to the front door rep, and communicated that this was unacceptable and asked for a refund which he rejected and said it was nonrefundable. We never stayed but left and slept in our car that night. Not to mention I almost paid $300 for that day on Valentine’s Day.

I booked the room for 2 nights for me and family. We left after the first night and went back home. There are stains on walls, floors, and sheets. There are holes in the walls, the bathroom fixtures are rotted at the bottom. The lock for front door was difficult to engage. We turned on the heater and out came a burning smell, we turned it off and slept in cold room. There are homeless people on the premises. Homeless left partially eaten food in the hallway. Vagrants sit on the staircase. The toilet was leaking. I don't understand how Palm Springs allows a motel/hotel like this to operate. Do NOT stay here.

There was a very kind manager at this hotel. Unfortunately, this hotel is in major disrepair from the parking lot, to the pool, and to the room. The photos are showcasing this property from years ago, which is deceiving to anyone staying here. It is truly rundown, isolated, and does not feel safe. If I knew, I would have gladly paid double to not stay here and be in a cleaner better managed property.

Building has a lot of patching and needs painting on the entire building. Room has terrible incomplete paint job throughout. Looks like a five year old tried to paint. Shower curtain was moldy. TV and remote control did not work. One of the bed lights did not work. Towels were thin and felt like sand paper. Unable to clearly see out of windows. You should remove this place from Hotels.com. The pictures on the website did not properly represent this property. There were no smoke alarms in the room.
