The place is incredibly beat up and old. Not clean, front desk staff did not report issue to maintenance but said they did. Smoke alarm went off during shower. There must be better places in Ridgecrest. Do not stay here.

Wonderful experience

I came to visit my son in Ridgecrest. I was so excited about coming to my grandson’s graduation at the end of May. I forgot my purse! The lady at the front desk asked if I had my id on my phone, or if someone could send it to me from home. The lady was very patient and worked with me. Didn’t just turn me away because I forgot my purse the barbecue pad in the pool area and all the tables made a wonderful experience for my grandson‘s graduation party. It was something small but very meaningful to him. I’m going back again in a few months! The rooms were super clean, it was not a bother to ask for more towels since we forgot our own pool towels. The breakfast in the morning was awesome. It wasn’t just a bag with a few things in it. There were choices as my son is a diabetic. Just all over very wonderful experience!!

Very friendly staff, seamless checkin and checkout experience. Very helpful and attentionate staff also around the pool. The infrastructure is in good condition and everything work well. Bed on the soft side, but still comfortable. TV system on the other hand is very sluggish, and could do with an upgrade (like a chrome cast or sth similar).

Like that the bedroom was clean, the tub & sink were clean, the toilet not so much. The baseboards throughout & the back of the bathroom door weren't cleaned recently. (It is in the desert :) Beds were too soft for our taste, but linens were clean. Front desk - welcoming & efficient. Housekeeping staff very friendly. Gave us extra towels, because we used the lovely pool & hadn't brought beach towels. Quiet place to stay. I think the restaurant in the same building was called Casey's, food was really good, staff very friendly, restaurant was very clean! Reasonably priced. Would recommend to fellow travelers for a short stay.
