Front desk Staff friendly. Bathroom with broken door, dirty bathtub. Would not come back but front desk lovely .
Staff is super amazing! Unfortunately, we saw a roach in our room and there was a bunch of alive bugs in the bathroom light moving/flying around. Besides that though, the staff is super kind and helpful. If we needed anything, they were quick on helping
The staff was nice and the property itself looked good, but the room I had issues with. I was only there 6 hrs to sleep didn’t want to change rooms but the room was dirty. When I set my bag down and someone’s ring on the floor and then seen all the dust and hair on the floor by the baseboards ugh.
Rooms were very clean. Only thing was no hair dryer in the room. Went to the office to request one twice and both times unavailable. But still was not a deal braker. Will come back and 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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Shower was dirty, towels were stained, fitted sheet was stained, mattress under fitted sheet was absolutely filthy.
The staff was friendly, though, thats a thing
The staff was friendly and the room in general was okay, but the floors were very dirty. There was nothing in the room other than soap and outside the room was dirty as well. There were cigarette butts everywhere, trash and even dog feces in the walkways and stairwells. There were several people both nights just handing out in the parking lot and the persistent smell of marijuana.
For an inexpensive room, it was fine. It was clean and everything worked.
The one con was the bed, which would be a little uncomfortable for some people (didn't really bother me) and the pillows, which were more like sandbags than pillows.
