Keep scrolling and find a better hotel!!!
Last minute booking so I wasn’t looking for anything too terribly expensive. Ended up settling here which was a mistake. Checked in late so they put me in the back of the property and made my way up the stairs and down the hall having to maneuver through people drinking and smoking. Arrived to the room and was overcome with an unusual smell that is used to clean the room. Bed was uncomfortable and no soap in the bathroom. The unruly neighbors continued to have their way outside the hall most of the night. I woke up the next morning and they were still going strong. Maybe 6-7 people spilling out of that room alone. Overall, the property is in a terrible condition. Probably one of my worst choices in bookings I have ever made. I love Palm Springs but no way will this even be a consideration ever again. Be warned… stay away from this place!

Terribly run-down old motel with questionable tenants (maybe some by the week?). 1/2 bathroom window replaced with plastic, not glass, air blows through. Bathtub faucet wouldn't divert to shower. Bathroom sink faucet so loose I was nervous using it for fear it would just blow up from pressure (funny, water pressure in the Desert was incredibly good). Ceiling has had multiple leaks from 2nd floor, never patched or painted. We did have new curtains, good A.C., clean sheets (no bed bugs) and a working lock on the door, so I guess I could count my blessings.

Though it seems as if they clean the rooms well, the hotel is pretty run down. Bathroom door had no door knob and instead had a towel shoved in the hole where the knob belonged. Also wouldn’t close properly. Felt a bit unsafe seeing the kind of guests that stay there. Then again with those very low prices, you get what you pay for.

Pictures online are deceiving. The sheets were dirty and it had broken windows. I went with my children for a cheer competition and it was full of homeless people. The room was in poor conditions. Never going back.
