The view from our room in Fantasy Springs
The sunset spectacle that is the Coachella Music and Arts Festival 2015 shimmers on the last evening of the event, April 19. 

We chose this festival as one of many destinations in our year of full-time travel while still working from an RV. We also chose South By Southwest in Austin.

The hotel is old. The beds are terrible. It makes noises every time you try to turn your body. Mattresses are old. It’s not with the money.

Overall Indio is fine. Just don’t make travel plans to stay here. Spend a few extra bucks for a cleaner/nicer place.

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveler

Expedia wouldn't help get my refund back and the hotel took my deposit. We never even got into the bed because it was so hot. They said I smoked in the room and I am highly allegeric to smoke. The hotel lied and Expedia won't refund me!

3/5 - Okay
