My husband and I stayed here for Coachella. We weren’t expecting much just a private place to stay. To our surprise, the rooms are totally renovated, good and clean new bathrooms, comfortable king bed, clean and complete room with refrigerator, microwave and table. There were plenty of parking spaces, and just 5’ drive from Coachella. Super convenient. The staff was super friendly and helpful, if you need something they will take care of it. Totally recommend!

Safe and Clean for a Simple stay

I needed an inexpensive but safe place to stay for 2 nights for work. This motel was not only clean, it was very cute and well kept on top of being inexpensive. I arrived in the evening and the manager was quick to the office door. The room was very spacious and clean with a large bed, large tv, a couch and a desk. There was a large ac/heating unit that worked perfectly and had multiple fan levels from high to low. The couch did have some damage but nothing major. The locks on the door were secure and used a key card. The kitchenette was rather large and in the closet space. The refrigerator was very big, not a tiny one with a mini freezer but a full size. The freezer had two ice trays and the kitchenette included a microwave and a coffee maker. The closet did not have hangers. I didn’t go to the office to ask for any so I’m not sure if they could have provided some. The bathroom was spacious and looked newly renovated and clean. There were plenty of towels provided. Outside the room was a cute rose garden that reminded me a little of the Queen’s garden from Alice in Wonderland. There were trash bins at the back of the property including recycling. The pool was also surrounded by garden walls and gated. The parking lot was small but my car was safe the entire stay. No cleaning after the 1st night but that worked for me. I’m sure they would if requested. There was no dresser for clothes. It was a perfect stay for inexpensive, no bells & whistles. I will stay again!

Surprisingly good economy

A delightful surprise for the money. It was clean, cool, and everything that it promised. A budget hotel that was nicely provisioned and maintained. They do need to know that a wall typically is only one color of paint

The office smelled. The room and bathroom smelled. I had to have the air conditioning run for a while to get some of the smell out. The bed sheets were so thin that one could almost see through them. The walls were damaged.

Having read previous reviews I was a little worried about what I was getting into especially when my CC company declined the payment request twice, even after I gave them verbal approval after first time was declined! CC said they had many complaints. My room was clean. It looked like the images on the website! Drains were clean. Towels and bedding appeared clean. It’s an old retro ‘50’s style motel. Only one floor. I’m not sure where all the parking is but I always had a place in front and during the three days four night stay. I was never back from the BNP Paribas tournament before 8P. Room had ample plugs for charging electronic. Wi-Fi signal was good. Only three issues, which were minor: 1) the tv remote was finicky, 2) another was that before I turn the shower head to face away from the shower door water would leak through between the doors onto the bathroom floor. 3) it is an old building. Sound proofing is not too great but I alway bring earplugs for any motel/hotel. But it was generally very quiet! I would stay there again!

Had a business trip in Indio so I stayed here for 2 nights. It was very comfortable and clean. It was quiet and I felt very safe. We waked a couple doors down to the Bar and Grill and had an excellent meal. The staff was very friendly. I will definitely stay here again. It is located n the better part of Indio
