The rooms are extremely outdated and rundown. We booked the king suite and the room had a bad damp Oder and was infested with mosquitoes. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone if they have other options. Just to add we stayed here 2 time's in a one week period in 2 different rooms and the 2nd room had mold all over the uncleaned bathroom. And even more mosquitoes than the first.

The desert cave hotel was a very run-down, empty, sad joint. Pool was unmaintained, underground exhibit was closed, restaurant was closed, service wasn’t friendly, room had rocks all over the furniture, bed and carpet. Lighting was also dull.

Everything was good. Hot day and what they say about having 50 air conditioned rooms isn’t exactly true. The underground rooms only have ventilation and a fan so if it’s 40 degrees outside you won’t be sleeping much even if you’re in one of these rooms. Other than that it’s a decent place to stay as long as it’s not sweltering hot.

The amenities were tired, but the place was clean. The pool needed a good clean. One tap in the bathroom needed a replacement washer and there was a significant leak on the floor from the basin water. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Room is unique and very interesting. However, when I got up to have a shower the next morning, there was no hot water!

I had an underground room and was incredibly quiet, i didn’t hear any noise including from the car park. Spacious, but an odd layout. Bathroom was partly updated with a new vanity, but the toilet and shower were older (tiny shower) but functional.

Great facilities including bar & underground historical information. Bathroom is a little tired and shower is small for my tall husband

Old carpet. Smelly room. Bed sheets didn’t look clean and bed badly made. Very expensive at $216/ night. I have never paid that much and have stayed in many motels. Room smelled about50 years old. AC woke me up because it was very noisy.
