Desert Inn provided a cozy pit stop during my travels, supported by exceptional service from Twyla, who made sure I felt welcomed and informed. The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable, although I noticed an old AC system that could use some updating. It's also great that they're pet-friendly with a low fee for my furry friend. However, a couple of maintenance issues, like the broken back door lock, raised some security concerns during my stay.
