This place was terrible. Carpet was stained, beds old with springs practically poking thru. The pool was dirty and the bottom rough and almost peeling up. They also had no pool towles or chairs available and they really weren't that crowded to be unable to provide towels. We tried the spa later that night and it was filthy, a dark murky substance rose up from the bottow when ever you walked. I've stayed at plenty budget hotels but this was the worst.

This place resembles a crack den more than a motel or "resort". I would rather sleep in my car (or anybody else's) than in this filthy, neglected, beat-down, trashy place.

My two kids and I opened the door to a room of dissappointment. There was no air or heat. The switch was just hanging out of the wall. The walls were in need of paint. Our non smoking room smelled like someone stood in our room smoking all night. The carpet looked like it had not been cleaned. The blankets smelled musty. We were refused towels at the pool, so we had to walk back to our room dripping wet. There was no remote to the TV. The 24 hour restaurant listed as an amenity was Denny's.

I would not recommend Howard Johnson Hotel & Resort in Palm Springs to anyone. The first room they gave us was very mildewy smelling. I was afraid that I would get Legionnaires Disease. They gave us another room, as we were walking in the room there were cockroaches. At that point, I said let's get out of here, and we did just that. The hotel was pretty empty. I used a whole small can of lysol to get rid of the mildewy smell in the first room. A person should not have to do that!! We left the establishment and went straight to Hampton Inn. I love Hampton Inn with their 100% Guarantee!!! Howard Johnsons gives Palm Spings a bad name!!
