Please look at the guest pictures! The pictures the hotel provided are just catfishing. The hotel is so run down. The inside of our room door had tape on the lock. I had to put the chair in front of it to feel somewhat safe. The beds had questionable stains. The feet on the beds were bending. Thank goodness I took blankets for my baby. The fridge had mold. Please be aware when booking

Not going back!

The room was in dire need of an upgrade. The bathroom needed replacing. The top of the toilet tank was broken and a sharp edge was above the flush handle. The bedspreads were filthy. At least the sheets were clean. No smoke alarm or fire extinguisher’s in the ceiling.

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.
