After reading terrifying reviews I was surprised how nice and clean my room was. It’s not 5 star hotel - it’s budget friendly and I’m happy with that

Nothing , unmaintained property the washroom are sucks
Manuel, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The owner was very nice and welcoming. The overall property was pretty run down on the exterior. My room was clean and in decent repair. The cable didn’t appear to work on our television. We didn’t bother making an issue of it. The beds were pretty saggy. It was quiet. I don’t think I would return but the experience wasn’t terrible and the price was very low compared to other hotels in the area.

4/10 Fair

This hotel looks nothing like the pictures. I have never stayed in a place this cheap before... The main picture is when the place opened it is not what the place looks like now... Half of their rooms are remodeled and the other half is sooooo shady and has holes and poo stains on the floor... I was lucky to complain and got a better room but, what?... It was a place to rest my head and sleep at night.. but once daylight hit i was out and about... I do not recommend this place to anyone who can find a better place to stay... DO IT! again Pictures are not up to date!

Laid back atmosphere
The staff here is very friendly and easy to do businesss with. The hotel has a very relaxing and laid-back feel and I felt comery comfortable throughout my stay here. The same cannot be said about other hotels I've recently experienced where the staff/management can be cold and unwelcoming. I highly recommend staying at Desert Lodge.

The property overall definitely needs to be updated. They have a great location within the city but many of the other hotels in the immediate around them all seem to be in need of some investment.
