Riata Inn

I rarely complain or leave a bad review unless several major things go wrong, but that's what happened here. I arrived late Tuesday after an exhausting day, and the room immediately smelled like dog. I was too tired to go back to the front desk and ask for another room, so I stayed. The toilet clearly hadn't been cleaned, with urine running down the front and splashed over the bowl, and the seat looked dirty. The sink was clogged with hair that wasn't mine, and there was a greasy film on many surfaces. I don't know what it was. The shower was badly designed. Water splashed all over the floor and bathroom door, and a doorless shower needs to be much bigger than a standard tub alcove. The bedside light didn't work, which matters when you're getting in and out of bed in an unfamiliar dark room. I put out the do not disturb sign because I'd arrived late and needed sleep, but someone knocked and tried to open the room at 8 AM, multiple times. That ended my rest. If clean rooms and uninterrupted sleep matter to you, look elsewhere. Somehow this was the dirtiest and most expensive hotel of my trip.

The check-in was easy and painless, and the place was adequate overall. I could stay here for a quick overnight again. There was visible black mold on damaged bathroom wall, it took ten minutes for warm water, and the mattress was a five out of ten.

It's quiet, clean, and reasonably priced, and you can see the stars incredibly clearly. It's no resort, and the bed is uncomfortable, but the bathrooms are clean. There aren't many options, so this place does the job.

It's basically a bed and shower in the middle of the desert. The room was clean, there was plenty of hot water, and the staff were friendly. I didn't see bed bugs, unlike what some other posts said. The price wasn't bad, though it didn't feel reasonable for the amenities, and there's no breakfast or even coffee. If I'm in the area again, I'd definitely consider staying here.
