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,
