Found 3 small roaches going around the water faucet by the sink area in the bathroom. Tv remote control did not work, a/c controls were very loose, hard to adjust the temprature. This place sucks, trash outside most rooms!
I was told 3-4 different prices higher each time, when I called the property later in the day but per my departure at 12pm the same day the room was $70, as well as Expedia. Then it said suddenly "no rooms available for chosen date" so I called, told they had room for $96. Called back, told it was $150-180. I had traveled after a VERY long day just to patronize again as this hotel is HORRIBLE: dirty room, dirty bed, dirty and damp towels, no water pressure, dirty floors, and frighteningly deceptive as it was quite vacant per my 11:15pm arrival, which I am expecting the same greeting as the 1st evening, but told a different price by 3 different agents at front desk. It was not just "as if they were" but they DID PRICE GOUGE ME AND LIE ONLINE REGARDING VACANY AND PRICE. The younger man, assuming the son, saw (and I do understand many languages- it's smart to be kind to everyone, especially Valentine's day near midnight.) I explained several times my problem with converting Euro at the moment, so had only enough for the $96 quote. He glanced at my phone and saw the complete anount in my USD account and literally told the other representative out of sight how much I had, used a calculator in front of me and adjusted taxes and all to make it every $ I had for a gross, one damp dingey towel, no TV, gross shower, and just, deceptive/cruel treatment to a ret guest who'd just've stayed in Palm Springs for Valentine's day, decided I'd like some rest. REFUND PLEASE?!
Poorly staffed. Family that owns the place converted the first room behind the front desk into a living room off of their own living quarters. So when you look behind the front desk you can see discreet into the theater living quarters dream. Super unprofessional
Gentleman at front was kind but the whole place was a disaster. Rooms were unclean (dead roaches, no toilet paper, no towels). It was an unsanitary place. The sofa bed was unusable because it was so dirty. The man at the front gladly gave us our money back. Also, the room that we had reserved was out of order because of a clogged or leaky shower. They never called to let us know and they accommodated us with a poor replacement. The bathrooms also had electrical wires exposed with only see-through yellow tape covering them. My overall experience was terrible. We left to a Super 8 motel around the corner.
I was given a room that was still occupied. Not happy about that. And then I was given another room where the bed was horrible, I should have slept on the floor. I definitely don’t recommend this location.
STAY AWAY!!! We only booked here because every other place in the area was sold out! The place is absolutely DISGUSTING. Room was extremely filthy, stains on the walls and all the furniture, pubic hairs on the towels, hair in the bed, clogged sink, kitchen so dirty there’s no way you’d want to use it. Room smelled very bad (weed and god knows what else). I don’t mind staying in simple motels as long as they are somewhat clean. This is place is the worst of the worst. Never gets cleaned and owners clearly don’t care. You’re better off sleeping in your car.

Disliked: Staff & service
Customer service was lacking and they gave a key to someone that accessed our room in the middle of the night!
Overall, I didn’t feel safe staying here!.
Entry door was hard to close shut .
Countertops and kitchen sink were stained and floor mats in the bathroom was dingy and spotted. No remote to the tv.
Communicating with the staff was a little frustrating.
This place is in desperate need of an upgrade and makeover. Black mold in bathrooms, some lights work others don’t, pool is just a mess and I wouldn’t even go near that water. It’s like someone bought an old motel with the plans to renovate and upgrade it but never got around to it!
Our room smelled like old people and mold! It seemed like it had been MONTHS, if not longer, since the last time the room had been cleaned or dusted. When taking a shower, all of the dirt came off the tub, making it a gross experience. There wasn't even a phone in our room to connect to the front desk! The WiFi NEVER worked, not for one minute.
The front desk were courteous but much more needs to be done
The room was spacious with full kitchen and big vanity closet. The shower was a stand alone, not very big, no place to put toiletries inside the shower except the ground. Water pressure wasn’t great so if you have hair, be prepared to take a while. The refrigerator was a little dirty. Check in was quick. Overall, not the Ritz but it worked for what we needed it for.
Decent stay. They could use some upgrading/paint to the inside of the room.
Negatives: shower was old/dirty, walls had stains/dirty, bathroom door was so bent out of shape it didn't even close, entire room had a funky smell, the WIFI didn't work, the oven didn't work either.
Pros: Staff was easy, hotel area was quiet/convenient to stores we needed. Room was very spacious & tv worked good.
Overall it was a decent stay. We aren't too picky at all & we booked this room last minute for Stagecoach weekend (so we were hardly even inside the room) so there weren't many options left available. Would stay again if we had too.

Won't go back...
I booked this motel Dec. 26, 2018 for Stagecoach in April 26-29, 2019. It was a no cancel booking. A week before the festival I tried to cancel my reservation as my uncle passed in an accident in Indiana and to go back. They wouldn't cancel it. It was a so so place. Room had a kitchenette, beds were worn out, and room wasn't cleaned that well. Over priced for what we paid $845 for the festival. The staff was friendly. Over all it was a place to sleep. Won't go back.
