Top Desert Garden Hotel Reviews

The Neon Elm Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was very responsive and helpful. Nice to have a kitchen (though you need to remember to get oil, condiments, etc). Some pans, utensils, cups, and dishes available. Microwave and full fridge super convenient to have! Outdoor activity area was nice. Area surrounding hotel was a little sketchy but we parked on the street without issues. Biggest downside was the noise—planes overhead and more sirens than I’m used too (not sure of its bc hotel is located near freeway or the general area itself)."

The Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really loved the staff and how historic the Sofia Hotel is. However, it could use an update (while still maintaining its integrity)."

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed the hotel. Great location close to little Italy. Was provided an excellent room as it was for a special event by Litssky. Large comfortable room. Will definitely book again."

Ash&9th

8/10 Good

"Staff was very helpful and location was excellent."

Little Italy Inn - Limited Service Apart Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A+"

Uptown Inn by Vantaggio - Limited Service Apart-Hotel

8/10 Good

"Not a bad hotel, the area around it is iffy, but that’s to be expected since it’s Hillcrest. The hotel doesn’t have anywhere to park your car out front to check in real quick so be prepared to park a little ways away to check in then park your car in its garage. Also if you have a truck or big car in general don’t even think about parking your car in the garage because good luck if you choose to. All in all though it ain’t a bad hotel for the price."
