This property was my worth experience in staying at hotel. All furnitures were broken, we reserved room for three people and there were not even enough soap for one person. I complained to hotel manager and he said, they are going to renovate the place soon, but don’t understand why hotel terrible condition was not mentioned as part of listing.

This was the worst hotel I have ever been to. It looked abandoned there was trash everywhere and people working on cars in the lot. Not many people there to begin with and upon entering the room it smelled horrible and looked like insect secretions on the floor of the bathroom and the mattresses on the beds had blood on them.There were many other issues too many to include but we did take plenty of pictures to validate our claims. We promptly reported this to Expedia on that day as we had to seek other more costly last minute accommodations and were told that we would soon hear back. It was not until we returned that I recontacted Expedia for a follow up and the person helping told us that we were going to have to pay for one night on two rooms totaling over $300. We would not want an animal to stay there and were very disappointed in the fact that Expedia would even have this hotel on it's site.I made this fact known to the rep helping and at first he was pleasant and when we said that we would not even pay $1 his attitude changed. I feel the pictures Expedia has of this hotel are misleading . The pictures were from many years ago and if we had known would not have booked there. This was a very sad circumstance in that we went to Palm Springs to celebrate my daughter;s 21st birthday and to have the special day ruined was unforgiveable. I am also reporting this hotel to the local Health Department and will be seeking legal advice to go forward.

Not even homeless people deserve to stay in this type of environment. It smelled so much on the room that it made my throat hurt. The fix to the lock of the main door was tape. This is the type of hotel you should pay under 100 or even 70 a night. I paid 200 for a place that was a lot more dirty than sleeping outside. Very scary. Very dirty, the restroom door had a hole! This place is a complete scam. Please stay away.

STAY AWAY

The online photos are a gross misrepresentation of this property. The exterior and interiors of the property are poorly maintained. Mold on the shower, towels are like sandpaper. There were no blankets or a comforter on the bed. I was told the bedspread was a duvet. Doors in the room were taped over and painted.

We tried to check-in at 3:30 pm and our room wasn’t ready. We arrived back at 8 pm and we were told our room still wasn’t ready. Thankfully the manager came out and found us a room. The room was dark and dirty.

The blankets had holes because they were burnt, the lamps were broken, the deteriorated furniture had burnt marks of cigarettes. The trash bins around the property were overflowing. I was afraid the beds could be infested with bedbugs but apparently that didn’t happen.
