The Ritz-Carlton of Ocotillo! Compared to the alternative, I'll take the Ocotillo Trailer Park &…read moreMotel, hands down.
When faced with sleeping in a tent on the desert sand with no bathroom facilities or real shelter from the elements, this motel's trailers with paper-thin walls, crusty carpet and sofabed, unsanitary bathroom and shower, and paint peeling off the walls in 8-inch sheets are downright heavenly.
Throw in a real color TV, a refrigerator (gotta keep the beer cold), a functioning gas stove, and, get this, AIR CONDITIONING, and you've got a place to stay that's a cut above anywhere else within 15 miles.
My friend, stay here, and you too can be the envy of the desert weekenders on your next trip.
