Desert Lodge

The stained glass details along the A Frame style roof are very unique to the property and offer visitors an added touch of color when exiting and arriving on site. GREAT COKE MACHINE AND ICE MAKER! WAY TO GO DESERT LODGE AND HARRY! I hope to return soon.

Yes the hotel needs updates, but everything was clean and worked. Grounds were quiet. Families with children were playing in the pool. The place was fine as a discount hotel stay in Palm Springs. The manager at the front desk was polite and professional.

I made phone reservations for the Miramonte Resort and Spa in Indian Wells, CA. That was my first mistake but I had stayed there before so I thought it would be OK. Reservations were for 4 days and I planned on meeting 8 employees for dinner and festivities. I wanted a full service hotel for meetings, dinner and a bar. I arrive at the Miramonte and the lobby door was locked, I looked inside and the lobby was under construction. I found a direction sign about 200 feet from the hotel entrance, it directed me to the side of the building. I checked in and asked about the restaurant and dinner reservations. The guy at the front desk pointed to a small room with sheets hanging on the wall and 4 or 5 tables. That is the new restaurant and bar. It turns out that the restaurant, bar and lobby are under construction, I was not told this when I made the reservations on the phone. This caused problems but directly across the highway there is a Hyatt that has a great restaurant. There were understandably not many room rented and on day 3 I requested housekeeping. The front desk did not rely the request to housekeeping but I found a worker and again requested that my room be cleaned. She checked with the front desk and was given permission to clean my room. I left and returned to the hotel about 7 pm. Housekeeping had been there but they failed to take dirty towels and dirty glasses but to top it off she made the bed but did not change the sheets. I have never had that happen before. They also charge a Resort Fee, I think it was $39 a day. The only thing open was the pool. I was not told about the resort fee when making reservations. I will not be returning to the Miramonte and advise you to check out everything before making reservations.
