Sometimes when I book a last-minute trip to Palm Springs, I’m not chasing luxury—I’m chasing cheap, clean, and close to downtown. Prices here swing wildly depending on season, heat, and whatever festival is in town. I’d driven past the Desert Lodge for years in its great South Palm Canyon location but never stayed—until last weekend, when it was the cheapest option by far. The exterior looks like it’s been on pause since about 1960, with mid-century breeze blocks and a green painted pool deck that has seen some times. The entrance features cracked asphalt that gently encourages you to manage expectations. The outdoor staircase and hallway are tired but sturdy, like a motel that refuses to retire. Inside, the room was basic but functional: working fridge and AC, a flat-screen TV, beat-up furniture, and a bathroom that’s lived a full life. Highlights included a brand-new bargain Home Depot toilet, a decent showerhead, and towels that were small, scratchy, and clearly nearing the end of their careers. And then—surprise—the room was spacious, the new vinyl plank flooring was actually clean, and the king-size bed was shockingly comfortable, Hyatt-level comfortable. Either I got lucky, or the mattress got the entire renovation budget. Rough around the edges? Absolutely. But for the price, location, and unexpectedly great sleep, the Desert Lodge gets the job done—just bring your own towel.

Horrible motel. Checked in at 330pm told room won’t be ready until after 5pm. Could hear people screaming and being vulgar all night long so we barely slept. Room was horrible. Dirty. Doors with duct tape on them, holes in the ceiling. Shower had mold and used/open complimentary shampoo/conditioner/soap which was amusing since the room had to be cleaned and delayed out check in. Shower water would not turn off, knob was broken. 1 towel for a room that slept 4, nothing else, just 1 towel that wasn’t folded so unsure if it was even clean. Exposed wires all over the place. No outlet covers. Would have slept better in the car. Relaxing getaway turned into a final destination like nightmare. Kept waiting for someone to bust down our door with how loud and horrible it was all night. Some lady screaming F-bombs, the N word, and talking about f-ing people up. Tried calling the front desk, phone didn’t work and didn’t feel safe leaving the room after dark. Never never ever again!!! I have pictures of the room disaster to back this up too. Travelers beware!

Great location but the property could use some updating. The sheets were clean, AC blew cold and the water in the shower was hot but it was very dated

I hate to leave bad reviews but this place is probably worse than Motel 6.

This place is old and in need of serious repair. Holes in the walls, furniture is old and beat up. Bedding had cigarette burns in it. TV is ridiculously small. Bathroom was old and beat up.

Staff is super nice and helpful. Quick check in, really easy. But the conditions of the hotel are abit left to be desired, but you get what you paid for. Rooms are abit stuffy and hot, even with the AC pumping. The beds are big and spacious, abit stiff. Shower has strong pressure, but would benefit from in-room body shampoo gel. But again, on a budget and mind your business, easy place to stay.
