“Great Desert Hideaway”

International Lodge

1/1 found this review helpful

Recently attended the Stage Coach music festival in Indio and looked for a hotel with a good location at a reasonable price. I was lucky enough to find both in the International Lodge in Palm Desert. Lots of visitors coming into the desert area for the weekend event made the choices somewhat more difficult to find.

The International Lodge is an older "hotel" that is actually more like a B&B with individually decorated units by each of their owners. Many of the rooms are quite large with kitchen area, dining space and balconies. The bathroom/dressing area are a good size making the rooms feel even bigger.

It's site just one block off the busy Highway 111 helps to make it a more restful and quiet location. The best of shopping and dining in the Plam Desert area is all right in the neighborhood.
For the very reasonable price, excellent location and peaceful surroundingsthis hotel is a great find in the desert communities.

“Great Place A+++++++”

International Lodge

Aug 25, 2006
3/3 found this review helpful

I've stayed at this hotel over 10 times and every time the rooms have gotten better... we’ve been guests there for over 6 years now and visit at least twice a year. I ask for the premium room type and it works out nice. Bigger than most hotel rooms. I will be there again Labor Day weekend for an extended weekend for 4 days. Not sure what some people here experienced but my experience has defiantly been positive each time. It would be nice if we could BBQ in the balconies... maybe in the future! But overall a great place to stay- units like that would run you $170 to 250 a night other places. Wife loves it- daughter likes it and it’s a quite place to stay if you want to unwind.

“No A/C in 90 degree weather!”

International Lodge

1 of 5 stars
Portland, Oregon

11/14 found this review helpful

This property is not as advertised. They claim a 3-star rating, when in fact AAA has downgraded them to a 2-star.

We arrived late which management handled well.

However, the room was musty and there was zero air circulation. When I informed mgmt of this condition in the morning, they informed me they didn't turn on the a/c until April. This was early March, and it was 90 degress outside! Upon checking out, we got another story about how they couldn't turn on the a/c and have heat at the same time (what?).

The room condition was very poor. There were old paint cans in the bathroom cabiinets, the screen door on the slider to the deck was off its track, and the entry door screen door was falling of its hinges. I was afraid to put any of my clothes in the stinky closets or drawers for fear they would pick up the mustyness (it smelled like your mom's basement). And this was a room they informed us was recently renovated!

Given that management misrepresents (1) its star rating and (2) that a/c is offered, one is left to wonder what else they don't tell you (e.g., the last time the pool/jaccuzzi was cleaned).

In a desert location, a patron should not have to inquire whether the hotel provides air conditioning.
