Best Western Desert Villa Inn

We just did a quick overnight here while traveling through so I definitely picked this hotel for the price & decent looking photos. We arrived around 7/7:30pm, there were 3 'strange' individuals right outside the entrance to the hotel so that did worry me a little bit as I don't really know the area well. My 12 yr old son & I checked in and the front desk girl was so sweet and helpful, it was a smooth process and she directed us to our room. I was a little worried if my truck would be safe overnight so I parked next to another large truck similar to mine and luckily, it was directly under our room. Unfortunately, the pool was closed for maintenance but, we did get there late and we were just there to sleep so it didn't really matter for our stay this time. Good selection for breakfast. The room was cute , spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Kind of strange that the position of the fridge/microwave was in the "restroom" area ? But overall, a great experience! We did hear the train go by 2x but it wasn't loud enough to wake us up or anything. We will definitely be back if we are in the area.

It was okay for a 1 night stay, room 133 was clean but the aircon was very noisy/ no bags in the bins/ tiny coffee machine and no electric kettle. Wifi was slow and tv remote was a pain to use. For the price we didn't expect luxury and it did have a great Walmart / Stater Bros / Food 4 Less + Gas station very near. With a few updates/ new paint the place could be improved.

When I first arrived, I pulled into the Parking lot the hotel definitely appeared a little rundown. I realized the parking lot was actually kind of like a roadway and the back of the parking lot has a trailer park entry, which I thought was really weird. I had arrived too soon, so I went to go get lunch first. As I traveled a few blocks down, I realized how awful the neighborhood was and instantly felt unsafe. The whole area had run down buildings, closed stores and definitely people who were on drugs walking around talking to themselves. I was only staying one night so went back and checked into the hotel. As I opened my room it also looked a bit outdated in the room. There was rusted out door frame, hinges that were put on crooked, shower head had rust, bathtub faucets were loosely on the wall. The worst part was the carpet was absolutely filthy. I was generally really grossed out by the carpet. I inspected the bed and at least that was clean and the counters were clean. You can hear the train, but it’s not too bad. Oh, and their pool is not existent. All the water drained out and it has some kind of note at the counter saying that it’s a third-party pool. Overall, it was pretty quiet throughout the night. This place works if you’re just doing a quick stop in your long travels and just need a place to sleep for one night.
