Salton Sea State Recreation Area Vacations from $401

The room was clean and attractive. The people at the front desk were friendly and professional. There were a couple of homeless there most of the time but people actually looked after the man who sat in front of the motel. They brought him the LA Times and food. I was impressed. But the hotel found the presence of the homeless a negative and who could blame them. The real negative was the setting. Noting near but highways and the Southern Pacific Railroad with pretty noisy trains most of the day. I didn't mind because I'm a train guy but others might. The only food nearby was the Mexican Dino cafe at the service station next door. Nice folks, ordinary food.

Beautiful room, great view, warm pool, courteous staff.

They charged us, an additional $40/day for resort services. And $3/day for “donation” for their charity!!!!!!
