The parking lots had no lights and because of that I fell on the asphalt in the parking lot requiring stitches. There was no stopper in the tub to prevent the water draining from draining out. So the only choice was a shower. Getting to take a bath was impossible. The room numbers made no sense because of the structure of the buildings. I spent many time walking around the parking lot to find my room. I will not ever go back their again.

Palm Desert during Tennis week.

‘Deluxe’ room, had a very small microwave, a small fridge, an odd shower that pointed towards the wall. A couple of stray cats tried to get in the room. Also, charged way more than I was quoted during the booking experience. Receptionist said this is due to the tennis being on that weekend. I learned my lesson and will pay up front in future. Generally needed a good makeover.
