This is an older motel. In my opinion, it is more than a 2 star motel. All rooms are first floor, guaranteed no climbing stairs to a room (-: My room was very clean. The building trim could use some paint to enhance the exterior. Shower was a smaller stall, but was fine for me. I plan to go back again this year for relaxation and exploring. It is very close to Shields Date Farm, where there is a restaurant, date-related gift shop, and The Garden Walk, a free, beautifully done meandering walkway with sculptures and scriptures depicting the entire life of Jesus Christ The Village Coffee Shop is a great place for breakfast; it is located in Citrus Plaza, which is about a mile southwest. You can Google it.

They say full kitchen. No coffee maker, no microwave. Half the time you ask the staff for anything they seem annoyed. One plug for the TV and stove. Not worth what I spent. They do not have adequate parking. Definite price gouging for local event events happening.

No wonder there were still openings here! This is really a last resort. They don’t spend any money on upkeep. There is mold and grime everywhere and everything is really dusty and gross. Literally health safety hazard level poorly unkept. They know people will still book because of the location. I guess the only plus side is it will make next Coachella better when we stay at a place that doesn’t disgust us.

Average, mostly clean. Should be deep cleaned after every guest though. TV did not work. My big critique is the door had a big gap at the bottom. Indio can get windy, so a lot of dust, dried leaves, etc was able to get into the room. The AC unit had a light indicating the filter needed to be changed, would not know when the last time it was changed.

Not the place you would like to stay, very very filthy and old, place stank, shower didn't work correctly, toilet was not working, towels were filthy, mattresses had dad stamped as approved in 2022. But the worst part is that there was for guys who approached my husband asking if he was a certain guy. It is what it says MOTEL, where people live, not a problem but many shady people in the parking lot, and many watching as we arrived, We did not even stay the night, we left because we felt unsecure.

Night one, room one. Room was dirty. Kitchen sink did not work. No utensils in the kitchenette. TV only worked with lights on. However still did not work. Woke up with a flat tire. Night two. They gave us a new room. Tv worked but only of yohbstood in the corner of the room to use the remote. As they mounted the reciever behind the tv on the wall. Full kitchen, still not one single utensil. The pool and hot tub while large were dirty and was turning green. They price gauged us because of a concert weekend charging $500 for 2 nights. For a room that shouldnt rent for more the 50, and i only say 50 because it has a kitchenettes. It won't let me upload the photos turning green.

Staff was okay responding to our needs but the place itself was not worth placing on Hotels.com lust!!! There was no hot water in the taps until a staff discovered the faucets are all backwards and takes about 10 minutes to warm up. It has full kitchen amenities but no utensils or pots and pans. The microwave barely functions but the ref can cool foods down to freezing. There were no trash bins in the room except for a small one by the toilet. In short, the amenities needed for a restful stay are lacking!!! Will not go back and Hotels.com should remove from their list. Definitely a 1 star place only because my parking spot was directly in front of our unit!
