Indio Motels

Everything was fine, we checked in and the girl at the reception was nice. We got to our room and was clean and everything neat. We decided to use the pool and asked a lady in the laundry room if we can have towels to use at the pool. She handed us the towels, chairs by the pool were really hot so we put the towels over the chairs and sat down. One towel got a stain from the chair. At checkout, this other receptionist told us that in order to get our deposit back she needed to inspect the room, no problem, since we were aware that nothing was broken or missing. She come back ann told us that she will charged us $10 dollars for the stain on the towel, like, seriously??? It's not like the stain will stay on the towel after being washed with all that bleach and hot water that they used for all of their linens. After I told her that was ridiculous and the stain will go out after washing it, she went back to talk to someone and then go to the front and gave us the deposit back like if she was going to pay for the towel herself.

After surveying hotels/motels in the valley the two biggest complaints are rude staff and dirty rooms at varying price points. I chose this motel specifically because other reviews mentioned how kind the staff is and it has clean rooms. And it’s all true. A/C worked great, 117 outside. Very Clean room, bathroom, floors & sheets. Smelled sterile. In-room Fridge-biggest I’ve seen in motel w/big freezer. Helpful for freezing my ice vests. Black out curtains-block sun light and heat significantly. Helps. Safety-no problems, no riff-raff, no dealers. Mostly folks here appear to be traveling through and are just stopping to sleep. Negative- the TV is so small and is placed in such a weird spot, so far away from the bed that you cannot see it…it’s against the furthest possible wall from the bed 20 ft away, hanging from the top of ceiling 9 ft up. So no TV for me this night. Bizarre. I wanted an inexpensive place to rest with basics and the motel is exactly as advertised. Except for that TV.
