California Desert hotel rooms a the Independent

"Fantastic pool deck. Bikes available to borrow. One block off main drag, easy walk. Rooms are small but pool and location made up for it! Great location and fun vibe."

"Yes"

"Baby Cockroach in my room. Enough said"

"The room did not looked like the picture. The room they gave me was different. "

"Very pleasant place to stay in idlewild, we were so pleased with staff, cleaness and the room in general. We certainly like to reserve this place again."

"Friendly staff from valet to front desk. Location was ideal. Close to everything. Def will stay here again. Quiet and roomy."

"None"

"The property is older and some parts of it are run down (like the pillows of the pool cabanas), but our family of 4 had a relaxing time spending 3 nights here. The price was inflated because of Cochella, so it was probably not worth $399 per night for 2 queen beds. There wasn't much ventilation in the bathroom, so it got kind of musty in there and the property is so massive it was a long walk to the lobby. I would recommend if you can get the regular rate ($135/night) and not have to pay up during high season. My husband had a massage at the spa ($165 for 1 hr) and said it was great. The workout room was really nice and we intended to use the free bikes but never did."

"The location and hotel are very good. I just had problems with the cleanliness of the room. Also the location does make the room noisy."
