The location was perfect! So close to all of the trails and wild flowers. You can see the Milky Way just by stepping out of your room. The bed is super comfy and the shower very hot. Couldn’t ask for a better motel.
Loved the location, loved the room, comfortable bed, loved the bright bed quilt. Innkeeper was available, pleasant, helpful. Little library well stocked, just a wonderful place to be. Would definitely love to stay here again
I loved this stay in beautiful Borrego Springs. The Borrego Springs motel is perfectly situated - it's a 5 minute bike ride to the restaurants, the natural history association (for botanical enthusiasts), groceries including a natural foods store with many vegetarian items, the library, shops, etc.Beyond that, the hotel has spacious grounds and a beautiful salt water pool. My room was very comfortable and clean. The pool is not heated but it doesn't need to be - once you're in for a minute it feels refreshing, not freezing. The motel and the grounds are *very* clean. There are nice plantings, landscaping, an arbor for sitting, a fire pit, and a club house.It is very affordable and a perfect simple launching pad from which to do your hikes, shopping, taking in the views, etc. I was also able to get a lot of work done from my tablet for my business, while luxuriating in the shade areas (at the same time).I enjoyed interacting with Robin and Charles.Thanks for the great stay! I'll be back if you'll have me. Cheers,
Small motel; clean and quiet. Love the location. Pool and outdoor sitting area. Used the fire pit one evening - was perfect.
Highly recommend for the price.
Clean, easy check-in & out, friendly, quiet. Robin is an excellent host. The new landscaping and outdoor amenities (gazebo with grill, firepit, pool with comfortable lounge chairs) elevated the experience. I would love to stay again.
Very clean and minimalist, with a nice pool, bbq area, and lovely firepit area with seating. Air conditioned, microwave, coffee, complimentary sparkling water and protein bars. Very welcoming, and Robin is a doll.
We have stayed here in the past but it's being improved, upgraded flooring and very nice clubhouse with a mountain view. Nice extras like power bars and sparkling water in the refrig. Also nice is the cabinet outside room 4 & 5 that stocks items you might have forgotten like sunblock, razor, etc.
Playing in a three day tourney at Ram’s Hill Golf Club (phenomenal course) and wanted an inexpensive place to stay by myself. Loved this motel near Christmas Circle, the restaurants, and the local desert art collection. Fast service from the hotel staff! Clean, great WiFi (bring a tablet as there is no TV). Nice fridge and microwave. Definitely would stay here again. Thanks!
Good pizza at Calico’s if you want to bring something back to the room!
The room was extremely clean and the little hotel is a perfect nostalgic 1950s roadside motel. There was a fire ring out front that we took advantage of on New Year’s Eve and enjoyed ourselves surrounding a nice bonfire with friends. They only issue I had with the place was the beds are hard as a rock. Apparently they are memory foam, but they are extremely firm memory foam. The place was awesome though, and we will be staying there again!
