Don't do it!!!!
I rented the room thinking it would be ni e. Two queen beds and a couch. We got there at 4pm the room was freezing and no couch. Thank goodness it had a gas fireplace which we turned up to high to warm the room. Then at 1:30am the room next to us has a fight and there two fldogs are barking for over half an hour!! The next morning we lche k out at 9:50am. And go to the restaurant for breakfast. They tell us we have 7 mins to eat from the buffet as they afe closing. My grand daughters each get a plate as do i. They still charged me full buffett pricing of 55 dollars!!! I will never recommend Lodge in the Desert to anyone!!!!

We had to book last-minute stay at this lodge for two nights. It was lovely. The place was clean. The staff was friendly. The heated pool and hot tub were lovely and very good shape. My only complaint is I would’ve expected a lodge as lovely as this one,to have good coffee. They need to add more coffee to the pot to make it better. Or just use a higher quality blend.

The Lodge on the Desert is very nicely arranged and decorated with plants, green space, pet area, and warm lighting in the evenings. Our room, 106, had a fireplace, very comfy beds, a patio (unfortunately, this one didn't face the north with a view of the mountains), and was very quiet. We ended our day early from the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun festivities, so we had an early dinner at Cielo's, in the complex within walking distance. My husband had the hangar steak with shrimp, which he said was one of the best he's ever had. Very attentive staff; an enjoyable hostess. Our only disappointment, was the tv was not compatible with pay-for-tv stations. At least we couldn't figure if we could get Netflix, or any other one. We'd go back.

Dirty tub
Booked a jacuzzi tub room. Got into the tub after dinner and realized the tub was dirty with a scum ring above the jets. Tried to ignore it and turned on jets. Then something brown started floating on water. Quickly jumped out and showered off the ick. Was too tired to deal with it that night so I let front desk know when I checked out.
