This hotel looks nothing like the pictures. I have never stayed in a place this cheap before... The main picture is when the place opened it is not what the place looks like now... Half of their rooms are remodeled and the other half is sooooo shady and has holes and poo stains on the floor... I was lucky to complain and got a better room but, what?... It was a place to rest my head and sleep at night.. but once daylight hit i was out and about... I do not recommend this place to anyone who can find a better place to stay... DO IT! again Pictures are not up to date!

The property is dated. It looks like something out of 1960. Old beds, old furniture. Dated bathrooms. One of the pools was drained. Not that I went there to use the pool. I did not interact with any of the staff so I could not rate it. Only when signing in and I think it was the owner. For approximately $200/night, I respected more. I even used up my travel credit.

This property needs major renovations cleaning and repairs. AC unit took six hours each day to cool down. The curtains had many holes including burn holes. There are no screens on the windows. No bathmat. No hand towels. No washcloths. Mold on shower curtain. Hot water took at least five minutes to arrive. Shower curtain rod barely stays up. The microwave was missing a leg. The tv stations would freeze up every 10 minutes or so. The floor was dirty. Under the bed hadn’t been swept. There’s no security peep hole or chain lock on the door. There’s no ice available, machine is broken. Pool had much floating stuff from trees.

2/10 Poor

The owner was friendly, but the room was dirty. The toilet was dirty and the beds were in poor condition. The floors were also dirty and the wash clothes and towels were so thin u could see through them when they were wet. They also hurt your skin when using them to wash up and dry off. The refrigerator was warm until we figured out how to adjust the temperature because the numbers were rubbed off the temperature dial. We could not watch tv because the satellite or whatever the tv was running with kept freezng up every 2 minutes during a program. The pool was dirty so we couldn't swim. The ice machine was broken. The price was ok, but the hotel could use a lot of improvement on the cleanliness and amenities.

Laid back atmosphere
The staff here is very friendly and easy to do businesss with. The hotel has a very relaxing and laid-back feel and I felt comery comfortable throughout my stay here. The same cannot be said about other hotels I've recently experienced where the staff/management can be cold and unwelcoming. I highly recommend staying at Desert Lodge.

Expedia should remove this hotel from its listing. It was literally the worst place I’ve ever stayed. The AC was full of dust. The windows were screwed not allowing to open for fresh air. The window curtains were dirty. Bathroom completely outdated. Walls and ceiling full of patches. We removed the sheet covers and mattress full of stains. And no words to describe the mattress base.

Check in was a breeze! On 1st glance, It has a quaint, rustic exterior, but don't let that dissuade you. Opening the door using the latest technology in card reader, tap and turn the knob. Reveals an updated interior modern design and the comfortable bed. Be careful adjusting the arm of TV bracket. My TV almost crashed onto the furniture because one side is not turned equally as tight as the other and I wasn't aware until it began slipping. Thankfully though it didn't rush crash and I was able to connect my HDMI cable and Roku device to access additional Entertainment options. The owner is pleasant and helpful & I think I woke himup early to extend my stay.
