A Gem

Reviewed By amyaW5259HF

We stayed for a week over Stagecoach festival from the UK so the main reason was location and price. The room exceeded our expectations it was good size and the shower was incredible! The family who run this hotel work hard to make improvements and always on hand to help. The pool was welcomed for cooling off and free breakfast were also grateful for. The price is very reasonable and we felt very much at home here for the week. Thank you to the hard working team for looking after us. Amy and Gina x

Last minute hotel stay. This is a seedy “motel”. This is a hotel for men who share one room. The front desk did not smile or ask how we were but seemed frustrated that we were checking in. Didn’t look up at me once.The room was ok, bedding for pull out bed was dirty and thrown in bag. I called to get new bedding they didn’t bring up until an hour later. staff were rude and lazy. The lady for breakfast was pissed off she had to stand up and work. Literally looked angry. The whole pool area smelled with marijuana from the men hanging around. We were in an emergency situation due to family illness we would have left but had no other choice.

Not quite horrible; just not good

One night only, gave me a headache. One overhead light only in room; one fixture next to bed on one side, but no bulb or lightin/from that. Bathroom light had fan option only- no "sneaking in" there during the night. No hot water as far as I could tell. I endured a cold spritz only in the cold morning. THis hotel seemed safe. Temperature was pleasant. I didn't use any temperature modifiers. Tobacco free. Close to my destination of Joshua Tree National Park. Pleasantly indifferent managers. Seemed fairly clean, but couldn't really tell. Bed was clean, no bugs of any kind. Bed seemed fairly new- no lumps. Too firm for me, but not bad. Parking lot mostly torn up. Lots of dust from that. I was charged "regular" rates for this room with some poor conditions. I should have made an internet arrangement before arriving in Indio, CA. This place was showing 4 stars when I looked on Expedia! I'd give it 2 stars at most, based on my experience. Riverside Fair going on. Freight trains going by but across the road. Loud people outside at 3 AM for a while.A At least nobody was above me. Managers pleasant and relaxed. Next time, I would try a different hotel.

We were told by friends to rent an RV from Alberts RV Rentals, they set up our trailer at SHADOW HILLS RV RESORT, it was there for us to check in and then they take it away at the end of our stay (Stagecoach). SHRV resort was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! They made sure all the time that every one had fun, had what they needed, were safe. There was an abundance of support. They had a Taco Truck there all three days all day. The Pool party was incredible, they had a DJ playing music 11-3 on Friday, a band on Sat and on Sun. The Bands were fantastic. Lots of drinking, lots of sun and lots of everyone having fun. I never saw anyone get out of control. All kinds of people, body types, left and right, young and old. Everyone got along and SHRV staff kept going all day everyday ! I highly HIGHLY recommend this place! And they do this for both weekends of Coachella and Stagecoach. But they are open for Snowbirds most of the year except those three weekends!

Thought I'd take a flyer to save some $$$, but should have just stayed at a Motel 6

Reviewed By Roger k

I wqs only going to be in the Palm Springs area for a couple of nights and didn't really feel like paying $150 or more per night, plus tax and extras at the standard (but by no means luxury) hotels. I took a flyer on this one because the reviews weren't terrible. Even for the price, I would not bother again. The room could not be too much smaller. TV does get a bunch of channels, including ESPN, CNN, MSNBC and FOX. Old style window air conditioner is old and loud, and didn't really cool the room much at all. Bed was small but not terrible. All in all, it was a place to stay and it did have a good internet connection. Not sure whether or not all Motel 6's have that. Parking was free. Indio is on the south end of the Palm Springs/Palm Desert/Cathedral City area. Like I said, it was cheap ($84 total/night) but I can't imagine that Motel 6's aren't even less, and certainly could not be any more bare bones.
