Hi- Our hiking group arrived April 6, 2013 and took a fantastic hike to Palm Canyon the next day. On Monday, April 8th the winds came up early (83 mph) and we did not hike. Diane, the manager, was out in the wind securing chairs, cleaning the pool etc.and protecting the property. She encouraged us to stay in and be... More

A pinch of sand, that is. Though the accomodations may be funky with plenty of local atmosphere, my friends and I were quite comfortable with our housekeeping unit. The most memorable part of our stay was over the top customer service provided by our host Diane. Our hiking group of about 15 experienced 80+ mph winds one day that blew... More

While at Stanlund's in Borrego Springs, we endured a record windstorm which, besides costing us a day of hiking, left us without power for half a day. The whole town was blanked so there was no power for the restaurants or markets. Diane, our host at Standlunds made sandwiches for us for lunch then barbequed hamburgers for us that night.... More

It was a rundown motel from the sign outside to the inside of the rooms. When I made the reservations for my family I was told that the place... More

We arrived in Borrego Springs, CA after visiting relatives in the Palm Desert area and then touring the Salton Sea, Salvation Mt. and Slab City. We wanted to do some hiking in the Enzo Gorrego state park. This is an absolutely beautiful area. We arrived in this great town in the late afternoon and stopped at the first lodging we... More

The place looks very nice when you arrive. Our room, however, was very old and dirty (we found dead bugs near the bed, and a lot of dust). You don't expect luxury in the desert, but you expect some cleanliness, especially for the exorbitant price. And you expect a minimally decent breakfast, for such an expensive place, advertising "breakfast included"... More
