Victor, who helped me was amazing. However Room was in pretty bad shape and shower head was broken - got transferred to a different room and bathroom lights did not work. Only had one shower towel (for 2 guests) and bed and pillows were VERY uncomfortable.

Clerk was very pleasant. Great location for access to I-15. Room was clean and informal. Close to Grocery, gas and a couple of restaurants. Remember, this is by the interstate, will hear trucks if close to.

Simply awful!! Spartan room, no shampoo, no coffee maker. AC wouldn't cool. Door lock was malfunctioning, had to prop a chair under it for my own safety. Constant noise and sketchy people everywhere. Would not stay here again if you paid me too. This motel looked NOTHING like the pictures advertised it. Completely dishonest. Very, very disappointed. Apparently Motel 6 has no standards anymore. Transferred to another hotel first thing.

The rooms don't look anything like the pictures online - the hotel is extremely beat up, has several long term residents that smoke & rap either in their rooms or cars in front of the hotel, and the beds were the firmest mattress I've ever felt. We won't stay here again.

Air conditioning and heat were good, but very noisy. Not so sure about the safety of the area, but that opinion is mostly from other people in Palm Desert that I talked to. Room was clean, and staff was very friendly and accommodating.
