I think that someone should report baboo (new owner) to the better business burreau. I have been coming to Palm Springs for 20 years and staying there periodically. They are always changing hands and sometimes they are not open. The owner is beligerent and rude to his customers. The place is in shambles and the pool is ice. They should... more

This was one of the most disgusting motels we have ever stayed at - the price was great - But don't make the same mistake we did. The rooms are so filthy - I wanted to leave 409 spray there so maybe they would get the hint. Trash bins full and not emptied - outside - I felt like we... more

This is a quite hotel with decent sized rooms and some views of the mountains. There is a pool and hottub. The Owners are friendly. I stayed 4 nights and had no problems. more

I booked two nights here via ORBITZ and unfortunately it was impossible to get a refund, or I would have left as soon as I pulled into the driveway. This MAY have been a nice place at one time, but those days are long past. Here is my list of why this place is so horrible: trash in the driveway... more

Upon arrival, my first impression was that it did NOT look anything like what I thought the picture portrayed. Somehow that angle in the profile picture did not show the dumpy scary alley where we had to park. I asked the lady in the front desk to give us a room on the inside part of the motel because it... more

Stayed at the Desert Lodge/Desert Inn Palm Springs enroute for the 'USA Road Trip 2008' that I was doing with friends which started at Las Vegas and was to finish back in Las Vegas two weeks later. Avoid - this Hotel is probably one of the dirtiest and most run down places that I have ever stayed at. I really... more

I was able to book a reservation for this property on a holiday weekend for a very nice price. First of all the staff is VERY nice. They really went out of their way to make me feel welcome at the hotel. This being said, it is truly unfortunate that the property is not kept up. This hotel looks very... more

We stayed at the Desert Lodge, Thanksgiving of 2005. The air was cool but the pool was a warm 78 degrees. Jacuzzi was great too. The continental breakfast was kid friendly with cheerios and toast with butter. Plenty of coffee and pastries. The room was another matter, it smelled of mold and the carpet was pretty worn. Also we stayed... more

Stayed at the Palm Desert Lodge & Resort and from the "Friendly" oh I mean NOT friendly front desk to the horrible smell in the "Non-smoking" room, I would have to say not to stay here unless you are broke down or there is nowhere else to stay. Four of us stayed in a room that was located in the... more
