The room was clean but smelled like cigarettes even though it was labeled non-smoking. Staff were very friendly. There was homeless staying in the parking lot but kept to themselves.

The rooms don't look anything like the pictures online - the hotel is extremely beat up, has several long term residents that smoke & rap either in their rooms or cars in front of the hotel, and the beds were the firmest mattress I've ever felt. We won't stay here again.

Air conditioning and heat were good, but very noisy. Not so sure about the safety of the area, but that opinion is mostly from other people in Palm Desert that I talked to. Room was clean, and staff was very friendly and accommodating.

It was a stay for local business. I may have picked a poor date. The prices for the whole area were high. The motel parking lot was full of motorcycles and their owners were up partying late into the night. My "non-smoking" room smelled of cigarettes and sweat. The peep-hole in the door was just an open hole which i needed to stuff with tissue. And the smoke detector had been sealed with a plastic bag. The A/C was very loud. The bed was extremely uncomfortable; a thin, lumpy, plastic-covered, 4" mattress, lying on a piece of wood. Then, the motorcycles began starting up and playing loud music at about 5:30 AM, as they roared away, in small groups, until about 7:00. Needless to say, I won't be back.
