Desert Lodge

I was in 2 different rooms, They both had a horrible smell. The place is run down. Many of the people staying there looked like drug users. The ice maker outside did not work. I checked out a day early due to the smell and the rooms are nasty. It's Close to downtown Palm Springs.

We got there late, at 6:30 pm and the room was not ready. We got to the room and the tv was not working, I told the front desk and he told me that he was going to send someone to check it out. Someone came finally on the second day, and told me that the tv remote need reset and the it was going to get the code and never came back. I also asked them to get the trash out of the room and they never did.

I would avoid staying here if you have other options. The whole place is pretty rundown and gross. The bathroom was by far the worst part. The shower area had several tiles missing from the wall and the floor was gross and chalky. Just book Motel 6 instead.

I had a mixed experience staying at this lodge. While it was quiet at night and the older couple at the front desk were genuinely kind and welcoming, the condition of the room left a lot to be desired. The space felt very outdated, and cleanliness was an issue. The floors were dirty, the blanket had visible stains, and one of the chairs was heavily stained as well. The curtain rod was also falling off the wall. Maintenance did come by, but unfortunately didn’t bring any tools and only pushed the screw back in, so the issue wasn’t actually fixed and it fell again shortly after. I also noticed a lot of static when touching outlets and light switches, which was a bit concerning. Overall, the peaceful environment and friendly front desk staff were positives, but the lack of cleanliness and upkeep made the stay disappointing.
