It's simply TERRIBLE! The room is very outdated with stains everywhere on all beds and throughout the room. The hot water was non-existent so a semi warm shower was all offered. And towels were old and awful. The ice machine had been abandoned it seems years ago and frankly the entire Motel should be abandoned and NO ONE should book here no matter what are the rates. Its a unhealthy situation in the rooms.

This place has huge potential and must have been a really cool MCM motel at one time, but the current management has no clue what they are doing, unless running a flop house is their business model , I almost wanted to buy the place just so that I could fix it!!

There were several major issues with the room. The bed was broken. The bathroom door didn't close. There was no smoke detector. The electrical wiring was exposed in a few places.

DO NOT STAY HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Trust me. If you are thinking, like we did, “it can’t be that bad”. Think again. I am not exaggerating or being a Karen. Room smelled like cigarette smoke, holes in the walls, brown goo of some sort, on the curtains, and lamp shades, oh and a big cockroach in the bathroom, and baby one in the hallway. You are not that desperate.

The first time we stayed, it was excelent. Totally worth 150$. 2nd time we stayed, 200 a night and we got a room which the bathroom was completely destroyed. Door was broken, faucet was broken, shower wouldnt drain, toilet handle was inaccessable. Just ruined the stay. Management said they inherited the property like that.

Desert Lodge is just a basic no frills motor inn that provides a comfortable bed and shower . Thats it. Dont expect anything fancy. That is was Desert Lodge is. I recommend that if you are concerned that you may not like the room ask to see the room before paying. The pictures can exaggerate what you may or may not like about the property. I just needed a cheap place to stay for a week and thats it.

Honestly, the rooms are in very bad condition; they're not clean, the drawers are broken, the sheets are dirty, and the floor has holes. And the bathroom? Don't even get me started. But the receptionist and the staff in general are very friendly, but I won't be staying at that hotel again.

I booked the room for 2 nights for me and family. We left after the first night and went back home. There are stains on walls, floors, and sheets. There are holes in the walls, the bathroom fixtures are rotted at the bottom. The lock for front door was difficult to engage. We turned on the heater and out came a burning smell, we turned it off and slept in cold room. There are homeless people on the premises. Homeless left partially eaten food in the hallway. Vagrants sit on the staircase. The toilet was leaking. I don't understand how Palm Springs allows a motel/hotel like this to operate. Do NOT stay here.
