This hotel looks nothing like the pictures. I have never stayed in a place this cheap before... The main picture is when the place opened it is not what the place looks like now... Half of their rooms are remodeled and the other half is sooooo shady and has holes and poo stains on the floor... I was lucky to complain and got a better room but, what?... It was a place to rest my head and sleep at night.. but once daylight hit i was out and about... I do not recommend this place to anyone who can find a better place to stay... DO IT! again Pictures are not up to date!

The property is dated. It looks like something out of 1960. Old beds, old furniture. Dated bathrooms. One of the pools was drained. Not that I went there to use the pool. I did not interact with any of the staff so I could not rate it. Only when signing in and I think it was the owner. For approximately $200/night, I respected more. I even used up my travel credit.

This property needs major renovations cleaning and repairs. AC unit took six hours each day to cool down. The curtains had many holes including burn holes. There are no screens on the windows. No bathmat. No hand towels. No washcloths. Mold on shower curtain. Hot water took at least five minutes to arrive. Shower curtain rod barely stays up. The microwave was missing a leg. The tv stations would freeze up every 10 minutes or so. The floor was dirty. Under the bed hadn’t been swept. There’s no security peep hole or chain lock on the door. There’s no ice available, machine is broken. Pool had much floating stuff from trees.

The owner was friendly, but the room was dirty. The toilet was dirty and the beds were in poor condition. The floors were also dirty and the wash clothes and towels were so thin u could see through them when they were wet. They also hurt your skin when using them to wash up and dry off. The refrigerator was warm until we figured out how to adjust the temperature because the numbers were rubbed off the temperature dial. We could not watch tv because the satellite or whatever the tv was running with kept freezng up every 2 minutes during a program. The pool was dirty so we couldn't swim. The ice machine was broken. The price was ok, but the hotel could use a lot of improvement on the cleanliness and amenities.

The staff here is very friendly and easy to do businesss with. The hotel has a very relaxing and laid-back feel and I felt comery comfortable throughout my stay here. The same cannot be said about other hotels I've recently experienced where the staff/management can be cold and unwelcoming. I highly recommend staying at Desert Lodge.

Expedia should remove this hotel from its listing. It was literally the worst place I’ve ever stayed. The AC was full of dust. The windows were screwed not allowing to open for fresh air. The window curtains were dirty. Bathroom completely outdated. Walls and ceiling full of patches. We removed the sheet covers and mattress full of stains. And no words to describe the mattress base.

Check in was a breeze! On 1st glance, It has a quaint, rustic exterior, but don't let that dissuade you. Opening the door using the latest technology in card reader, tap and turn the knob. Reveals an updated interior modern design and the comfortable bed. Be careful adjusting the arm of TV bracket. My TV almost crashed onto the furniture because one side is not turned equally as tight as the other and I wasn't aware until it began slipping. Thankfully though it didn't rush crash and I was able to connect my HDMI cable and Roku device to access additional Entertainment options. The owner is pleasant and helpful & I think I woke himup early to extend my stay.

Fridge and tv did not work. WiFi poor. Thin, small towels. We were there for four days. The two times we asked for room to be made up, no one did so. The pool did get cleaned. Get what you pay for…

The property was so old, did not have a trash can. The best were ripped apart, The mattress was so old and so uncomfortable i could feel the wires on my back. They did not have enough towels. There was medicine left behind. Meaning they don't even clean the rooms. Has very heavy smoke smell.Had two rags for 3 people . This was just an ugly property. Not worth the price. The front desk guy was nice and the pool was clean

The property overall definitely needs to be updated. They have a great location within the city but many of the other hotels in the immediate around them all seem to be in need of some investment.

The two men who ran it were very nice, but the property itself was terrible. The room smelled, had no personal amenities, had to ask for more than 1 towel for 2 people, had to ask for soap. No security lock inside the door. Could see light through the door when closed. The door handle to the bathroom was loose. Fan in bathroom didn't work. Shower was stained and furniture was marred and gouged. Would never stay there again!!!

You wouldn’t stay at this property and my wife and I didn’t. It was a dive. Run down/dirty / not acceptable. We could not get a refund as it was prepay with no refund. Understandable because once you saw it we’d all want a refund. This property should be taken off the list of Expedia listing

Staff was friendly but the room was terrible. The bathroom was literally falling apart with broken fixtures (soap dish in shower- gone). Leaking toilet, cabinetry in disrepair. Light fixtures had holes in the shades and bathroom window had spray paint on it and didn't lock. This place could be nice but needs a serious remodel and refresh before it can be recommended.

I did feel cheated in price for what I paid and what we got. I didn’t feel comfortable with the shower as one of the handle holders was loose with a I wish the owners would invest a bit more for the up keep. It’s in a great location near downtown.

We arrived around 4:30 P. M. As soon as we walked in the room# the place didn't smell clean at all walking into the bathroom the tub didn't even look cleaning had to go buy cleaners to clean it myself. We left to a friend's house when we got back it was like a party was happening people drinking through out the property come 11:00P. M. The noise was so loud children running up and down the stairs and halls they had very loud music untill 2:30 3:00 A. M. By the time we went to sleep it was around 4:00 A. M. Come day light I woke up to a bad smell of sewage that had come up into the tub and the toilet I called the office to let them know and a woman was yelling at me I ask for the manager all I got was sarcasm from the woman we couldn't shower or clean up for that matter I asked for a refund and I was laughed at it was the worst stay in a motel I ever had in my life this place needs to be shut down , Don't waste your money on this place

Place is falling apart inside, roaches are everywhere, drawers hanging, no door knob to the bathroom. Had to move to three different rooms just to have a bed that is decent to sleep on. I will never return nor will I recommend. I pay $150 for the night, think it’s not cheap. Even if this “looks” like a good option for the price. Do not stay here.

We weren't expecting to have to go buy our own hand soap to use in the bathroom. The shower pan looks like it has been painted multiple times and it all coming up and cracking, just chipping away and washing down the drain. The shower head is missing a piece and shoots water out the side. The box springs were filthy, one looked like it had blood stains on both sides of it.
