Having read previous reviews I was a little worried about what I was getting into especially when my CC company declined the payment request twice, even after I gave them verbal approval after first time was declined! CC said they had many complaints. My room was clean. It looked like the images on the website! Drains were clean. Towels and bedding appeared clean. It’s an old retro ‘50’s style motel. Only one floor. I’m not sure where all the parking is but I always had a place in front and during the three days four night stay. I was never back from the BNP Paribas tournament before 8P. Room had ample plugs for charging electronic. Wi-Fi signal was good. Only three issues, which were minor: 1) the tv remote was finicky, 2) another was that before I turn the shower head to face away from the shower door water would leak through between the doors onto the bathroom floor. 3) it is an old building. Sound proofing is not too great but I alway bring earplugs for any motel/hotel. But it was generally very quiet! I would stay there again!

Had a business trip in Indio so I stayed here for 2 nights. It was very comfortable and clean. It was quiet and I felt very safe. We waked a couple doors down to the Bar and Grill and had an excellent meal. The staff was very friendly. I will definitely stay here again. It is located n the better part of Indio

Coachella weekend stay

This was just what we needed! No problems with the room and service was excellent as I requested early check in and they message me when it was ready! Quick drive to the festival and a bar walking distance for late night

Perfect for what we needed and close enough to drive back and forth to and from our event. Room was clean, bathroom was a good size with a lovely shower. Will be looking to stay here again next time we are in town. The only negative thing I could say was that we never were able to turn on the TV but we really did not need it, so I did not even bother letting the staff know.
