Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room had a little dirt in a few of the corners, I couldn't get connected to their internet and the day after check in I had no hot water. I did get an immediate room change, but that room had heat that lasted only 1 minute then it went cold. I went to the office to discuss a solution, and the clerk/manager thought it better to cut me off and tell me to leave. This clerk got loud and overbearing and frankly out right rude. So I went back to the room to pack and make a reservation at another place. After returning the 2nd key, I thought I had left something in the 1st room and the clerk/manager wouldn't let me go back and check. I had to 'shame' him into letting go check. The guy had been more than friendly in my 2 previous visits but this time he was rude and uninterested in more than 2 problems. After 2 "you gotta go".

Second time staying here. This is a no frills motel however which has a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker and a lot of charm and care put into it. Great budget option for the area which has become increasingly expensive over the last decade It’s a funky desert roadside motel which I personally love to find and just like budget options are dwindling in the area, so are places that are unique with charm. Room was pretty clean and comfortable for my son and I. Would absolutely stay again!

Strong smell of dead animal/sewer in the room. No blanket on the bed despite night temps being in the high 50s. Room was dingy and didn't seem clean. I alerted the staff who tried to clean up the smell, I was out, so not sure what they did, it helped a little, but the smell came back. I was left a comforter that looked old and well-used. I was told there were no refunds. I left a night early. You get what you pay for.

Memorable, unique place. I was charmed by the individual cabins (with small separate dining area, even), colorful paint, and decor. The owner likes to talk philosophy. Very reasonable rates. Looking forward to returning here.

The location is gorgeous, and the staff were phenomenal. I got in past checkin hours, but Nick had left me a key to get settled in and I managed to properly checkin with him in the morning. There were new towels available every morning. The loudest thing out here is the 62 highway next to the motel, but even that is still quite quiet. Parking was easily accessible right in front of the cabin, however I didn’t get a chance to use that amenity. The bus stops were all accessible for me on foot, they just required walking through some sand and neighborhoods. Fantastic place, would come back.

Love this place. Little gem in the desert. This is our 3rd year staying here for the landers orchid festival. It’s close to many great places to eat, farmers markets and local attractions. We will be back next year 😊
