This is pretty much a standard Motel 6. The room was clean, but the place has not been remodeled. There is plenty of parking. There are some restaurants and stores across the street in a strip mall. The somewhat steep overpass and the pedestrian unfriendly entrance to the strip mall are a mild deterrence. More

I was on the way to Ontario, California from Phoenix for business had to take my pet with me. I was suprised to learn that Motel 6 will allow any size of animal in a room at NO additonal charge. Some hotels/motels can charge up to $150.00 per night, so that is a bonsus. It is a very basic set-up,... More

We stayed here overnight while travelling north. A typical no-frills Motel 6, just off I-10, but with no disturbance from traffic noise. The ground floor room was clean, but in the full afternoon sun. On check-in we were warned "not to change the air conditioning settings as the AC unit would freeze up if adjusted ...". Well our room was... More

This is a clean quiet place for an overnight stay. It is a highway motel, empty during the day. If you are staying in the area longer than a day I would suggest the Motel 6 Downtown in Palm Springs about 25 minutes away. Palm Springs is less windy and you will find the pool can be used all day.... More

As a business traveler, I have stayed at some of the best hotels around. However, when it comes to me paying for the room, I shop around. This motel 6 was a great deal for the money (paid $76 with my AARP discount). Room was remodeled and refreshed - looked great. The 2 full size beds were ok, and the... More

We were traveling through the Palm Springs area and needed to stop for one night. All moderate priced hotels were full, so we opted for a Motel 6 and crossed our fingers. We don't mind economy hotels for a one night stay if they are clean.... not that this was what I would call economy -- $70 AAA. I personally... More

We just needed a place to sleep for a few hours on our drive to the coast. I thought the room was clean and in good condition. A good value for the one night stop. More

This Motel 6 is one of the best Motel 6s I have ever stayed in. I do a lot of road travel between San Jose, CA and Tucson, AZ. The Palm Springs area is the midway point in the trip and all I want is a clean, quiet, comfortable, basic hotel to stay one night and continue my trip the... More

Stayed with my wife on a trip through CA and NV. At $74.99 it is a bit pricey for Motel 6, but I guess that is due to the location in the Palm Springs/Palm Desert area. Booked mostly because the location was an ideal starting point to visit Joshua Tree National Park the next day ... and because the motel... More

Was passing through Palm Desert, CA on the way to Florida, used Trip Advisor for area motel recommendation. Since this Motel 6 was on my route, and the recommendation was good, and by the way, I had a coupon for a free Motel 6 stay, I decided this was a good choice. Rooms were clean and comfortable.
