The property is in the midst of a revival. By no means is it perfect. However, the staff we met were wonderful and helpful. We got an unplanned tour of the property looking for a complete room (beds made, curtains, towels, etc. The place is clean, pool and hot tubs were clean, linens clean, everything else needs to be updated and they are working on it! A diamond in the rough!

Arrived at this disaster at 11pm. Not a real hotel, a flophouse low end apartment complex with no lobby front desk, or real employees. Disgusting and unsafe I reported this fraud to Expedia, who ignored my warning. SCAM FRAUD!

This place does not look open or functional. And if it is open and functional, it's the most terrifying and disgusting hotel I've ever seen. There was no one there, but the gate was open. They were piles of dirty laundry doors to rooms were open, windows were broken. Literally, it looked like a horror movie. I turned around and left, and it was very difficult to find a room in Desert Hot Springs on a Saturday night at the last minute less than zero stars this is disgusting and unacceptable.
