Hotels Near Hibbett Sports in Indio

Hotel was nice. Staff was polite. The washer and dryer Situation was a little annoying. 1 Washer, 1 Dryer in a huge laundry room. They could definitely add 1 or 2 more in my opinion. Plus the ones they had didn’t work well. It took almost 3 hours and 6 dollars to dry my clothes

We just got back from a two night stay at the Hampton Inn in Indio, California. It was an excellent stay. The property seems very new. Check in was a breeze. Check in time was 3 PM but we arrived early - about 12:30 PM . The front desk clerk checked and they had a room available – the room was actually a bit of an upgrade as it was on the top floor. The room was very large – the bathroom was well lit and had lots of counter space. TV was large and worked well. Bed was king sized and very stable – we loved it. Wi-Fi worked perfectly and was quite fast. The A/C and heat both worked perfectly - easy to adjust with a wall mounted thermostat. The room was clean and very quiet, Breakfast was typical Hampton – small omelettes, hash browns, sausages, porridge, cereals, toast and bagels, and a waffle maker. Coffee and juice. Lots of parking. Lots of shopping and restaurants within about 1/2 mile. Probably a bit too far to walk. The only complaint was that they only clean the rooms every other day. That’s fine for making the bed, but we needed replacement towels. When I phoned the front desk in the evening, they had fresh towels for us within about 5 minutes. So all in all a great stay.

Everything was fine, we checked in and the girl at the reception was nice. We got to our room and was clean and everything neat. We decided to use the pool and asked a lady in the laundry room if we can have towels to use at the pool. She handed us the towels, chairs by the pool were really hot so we put the towels over the chairs and sat down. One towel got a stain from the chair. At checkout, this other receptionist told us that in order to get our deposit back she needed to inspect the room, no problem, since we were aware that nothing was broken or missing. She come back ann told us that she will charged us $10 dollars for the stain on the towel, like, seriously??? It's not like the stain will stay on the towel after being washed with all that bleach and hot water that they used for all of their linens. After I told her that was ridiculous and the stain will go out after washing it, she went back to talk to someone and then go to the front and gave us the deposit back like if she was going to pay for the towel herself.

This hotel is a bare minimum comfort stay. It is a place to sleep and shower. Linoleum hard floors through out entire property including room which gives it an institution like feeling. Shower curtain does not reach deeply into tub causing flooding after each shower that must be mopped up. Air conditioning is individual unit that is very noisy when compressor is engaged to force cool air. Thermostat does not maintain even temperature so right about the time you wonder if you can stand it there is a burst to cool and then repeats. Two nights cost me over 500.00 and yet these small basic comforts are not in place. Also… noisy because of poor insulation. I seriously contemplated just driving home. It’s not aesthetically pleasant at all… it’s on an empty concrete slab right next to the ten fwy with nearly no landscaping. Feels very “truck stop”. Starbucks across the road and gas station all extremely close. Breakfast with mostly junk foods but had buffet style eggs and sausage my 96 yr old mom liked. But I ate fresh fruit so at least they had that. Expensive for what it is. Indio has a very very long drive to all Coachella valley attractions, good restaurants…etc

Definitely enjoyed our stay here at the Royal Plaza Inn! The front desk attendant was so kind, cheery, and helpful! He helped make our stay a very pleasurable experience! The price was pretty great too and we enjoyed staying so close to Palm Springs!
