This ISN'T! The Yucca is a great value and I'd stay here again and again. Family owned and operated, the husband and wife were actually the ones cleaning the rooms. I left my phone behind. After about a half an hour I realized it, went back to the gas station and with no luck, I proceeded to search my phone location. It was at the Yucca. By this time it'd been 45 minutes. When I pulled in to the parking lot of the Yucca, she was there, smiling. I said I think I left my phone behind. She said "are you sure "? With a grin, what kind of phone? I answered correctly. She motioned for me to come in the room where they had all the clean bedding. It was there safe and sound with my contact information on it. She said she was going give me time to come back, then call and ultimately mail it to me. BIG sigh of relief!!

The reception was fast and courteous, the rate ($80/nt) was reasonable and the room was small but clean. It had a large refrigerator, microwave (didn't use), and a small desk. The queen-sized bed was firm and very comfortable. The only negative was that the ice machine was out of order...bummer. So, if you're looking for an affordable place in Gila Bend, I'd recommend the Palms Inn, but remember it's "two-star".

We had room 3, the king bed (I have a tall husband) it was a firm foam mattress and we slept very comfortably. The sheets were soft and there was an assortment of pillows to choose from. The shower had the prettiest non slip stickers in the tub; lots of hot water with a great shower head that lights up! The towels are big, thick and soft. The room was spotless and had a microwave, refrigerator, lots of chargers for our devices AND A MASSAGE CHAIR! Not to brag but just for reference, we'd just come from the Hilton El Conquistador in Tucson and found this place to stay on the way to Organ Pipe National Park. We will definitely stay here again! The cost you ask? $125. Oh, there was even a Mr Coffee with a an envelope of coffee. But, book early! He sells out and the No Vacancy sign was flashing.

I can say that I am in agreement with all of the other reviewers, and though I didn't expect the Weston Hotel, I did enjoy an air conditioner that worked on a very hot evening, unlike the air conditioner on my RV.

There was rat poop/cockroaches outside the door. There was rat poop inside the tub. The bed/sheets looked questionable. At night, this place reminded me of the stereotypical scary motels in horror movies. However, it's so gross, I doubt any movie monsters would hang out around here. Even though this place is cheap, it's also cheaper to stay in your car.

I've stayed at the Sonoran Desert Inn several times for retreats and each stay has been a treat…read more I won't lie, I was a little traumatized when I noticed there were no TVs in the rooms the first time I stayed there lol but being forced to unplug was actually wonderful. The setting itself is really lovely; an old school with an interior courtyard, turned into simple but warm rooms to stay at. Every time the rooms have been impeccably clean and I love that you just use a code to get in and out. The javelina pillow on the bed is also so comforting and cute! The gift shop is fantastic if you want to support local makers and get some unique gifts for yourself or others, many with a strong emphasis on the Sonoran Desert. Every gift I've purchased here has been a huge hit with the recipients. And the staff? Lovely. All of them are friendly and attentive, even the 4-legged one! These folks genuinely seem to enjoy where they work and get along with their coworkers. The one hit or miss with this place is the food. I've had some great meals and I've had some lackluster ones. But I appreciate the complimentary daily brewed coffee from Curley's from 7-11am (I think those are the hours!). And if you prefer something a little fancier, then visit Curley's, a 2 minute walk around the corner, and while you're there, treat yourself to one of their delicious pastries.

We checked online first and they had fantastic reviews. They did not disappoint. The price was right at 2 AM. We were pleased to find a clean and lovely hotel. Our front desk person was very kind and informative. The room was comfortable. We ate free breakfast in the morning. It was all good. Couldn't ask for a better experience during our very short seven hours stay at this hotel. I recommend it. Oh, and it's conveniently located in a shopping center with plenty of restaurants around. Honestly, I'm really starting to like the Holiday Inn chain of hotels!

This particular time I was like fuck, we have to drive to Arizona, get a room, pay for food, gas. We can't spend that much money. So we decided to go here. Unbeknownst to us, as soon as we get there. They tell us our room has been cancelled. Mind you there's hood as guys outside, talking about hey girl what's up. Funny part they say they didn't have vacancy. Mind you there was 4 cars outside. (At 12 a.m) a cop driving by scoping out the motel. I was like oh hell to the nah let's leave. We ended up finding a good hotel $24 more. Stay here if you don't mind sleeping with the brothers on D block, and correctional facility right across the street. Payless lmao don't pay at all. Thanks for the cancellation guys.

First we try the Best Western Space spot - at $100/night we were not feeling that since we were going to be there for little over 5 hours... We hit the Payless Inn mostly out of sheet exhaustion. So...the sign says "$26.99" and "REFRIGERATION" and "POOL". Considering it's about 110 degrees at 1 am - all these words are sounding real good... Remember that saying about getting what you pay for? Well, in some cases, you get even less than what you paid for, best believe it! I think we paid $30 after tax for this joint - get handed a single key - no keyringy-thingy to keep you from loosing the key - just a KEY and a remote for the TV. We open the door to the room and I start to think that we shoulda just slept in the car (yes, I know it's the middle of the damn desert....but...) There's paint literally pulling off the walls; huge cobwebs dominate every single corner of the tiny room - and yes, there were at least that many spiders in there. The bed was reminiscent of those matts you see on the floors in those drama movies about being locked up abroad; so scary was the bed, I almost couldn't perform my bedbug check, so afraid that I wouldn't find bugs, but stains of some questionable type and size... There was a raggedy TV sitting on a raggedy dresser which was all poised on a raggedy orange carpet that was blackened from years of trampling (umm...probably not from steam cleaning!). The bedding was clean - which was funny considering how "abandoned" the entire room looked! Oh - the piece-de-resistance was the "refrigeration". An ANCIENT - and I mean ancient (I was tempted to steal it just for its kitchzy appeal) swamp cooler dominated the wall dividing the room from the bathroom. Since this is AZ, and it's nice and dry out there, you'd think this thing would work like a charm - NOT. Perhaps it was hotter than the old machine's capacity, perhaps it was just old and about to die...in any case, the room was only cool about 6 inches above the cooler itself. I'm not even going to go into just how nasty the shower got when the water started backing up while showering... There was a pool - but there would be NO lounging at this joint. Pay more money, get real AC (or a larger capacity swamp cooler), clean rooms without spiders and questionable mattresses. The best thing about this place is knowing enough to never stay here again.

When we showed up at this hotel, which I had booked through Expedia, the clerk said that I shouldn't have done that, because it cost me $130 through Expedia when I could have gotten it for $90 if I had just called the hotel directly to book a room. The room the clerk gave me had no shampoo, conditioner, coffee, bar soap, nor a knob for the bathroom door. And the shower stall had no grab bar, so my elderly mother didn't feel safe using the shower there, without anything to hold on to in case the floor got slippery, potentially putting her in danger of a serious bone break. We stuffed socks into the hole in the bathroom door where a knob should be to give each other privacy when using the bathroom. The parking lot is gravel instead of blacktop, so a little bit tricky to walk on, as the little gravel could shift on you while walking in the parking area. Could've been better, but the beds were comfortable to sleep on, solid yet soft, and they were clean, so I can't give this place any less than two stars, because the beds at least were satisfactory.

Not much to say. If…read moreyou're driving down the road and you've got to go, this is the place for you. Pretty basic rest stop to relieve oneself. Surprisingly clean inside. Wasn't defiled by graffiti artists or anything. Seemed to be well stocked with toilet seat covers and toilet paper. There was a sign warning about critters and even poisonous critters in the vicinity. Also, a rather large parking area for both cars and semi-trucks or trucks with campers, etc. towed behind them. If you're driving and get tired, please pull in and rest for a bit, that's why it is called a rest stop, right? It was better than expected, rather busy, and very safe. Definitely a decent place to stop and use the facilities.

It's near mile marker 87, about 64 miles west of Phoenix, AZ and 68 miles east of Quartzsite, AZ. The rest area has clean restroom facilities, plenty of parking for vehicles of different sizes (from motorcycles to 18-wheelers), several picnic areas, dog walking area, snack machines behind heavy metal bars, and a water spigot. There are some fun informational signs about topics unique to Arizona --(1) rattlesnakes, Gila monsters, and scorpions. (2) state parks, attractions. (3) fun facts about cacti. (4) and my favorite, the 5 Cs of Arizona: cattle, citrus, climate, copper, and cotton. My understanding is that Arizona allows motorists to stay here overnight, and restrooms are open 24/7; however, it's likely to be very noisy given its proximity to the freeway and the high volume of trucks and traffic coming into the rest area.
