This the worst hotel ever, I’m so disappointed, I was attending a Memorial service for my cousin in Calipatria and decided to make reservations there, since I stayed there before, when it was a still a decent place, I thought that it was still a good place to stay, but when I got there the clerk showed me the room and it was terrible, I thought I had no choice, the whole place smelled like human excrement, I decided to go to the next town to look for a better place, at least cleaner, and thanks to one of my cousins who lives in the area suggest, Best Western in Brawley and what a difference, I immediately decided to reserve a room.
I went back to Calipatria Inn & Suites to cancel my reservation, unfortunately, I didn’t get my money, $97.19, back but that’s ok, I was able to sleep confortable.
Calipatria Inn should be demolished or remodeled or give it to the homeless.
PLEASE DON’T STAY THERE, look somewhere else

The room was filthy, not hot water, toilet would not flush, dirty soap in the shower which obviously had not been cleaned. There were multiple spiders in the corners of the walls and spider eggs on the floors by the baseboards. When the front desk was advised of this they said they were aware and didn't try to remedy the situation and they were very nasty. When this was reported to Expedia and an Expedia agent asked about this, the person at the front desk admitted it was all true and he was nasty to the Expedia agent as well. The room was unsafe and unhealthy and management doesn't care. I would guess that the all the rooms are that way and would caution anyone who thinks of staying there to not do it.

Affordable option for those with business in Calip

Calipatria, California. Southern shore of the Salton Sea.
My wife and I were on a business trip investigating the Salton Sea and the recent buzz of eco-friendly green jobs coming to the region.
Often sited as being an economically disadvantaged area, the towns dotting the shores of California's largest lake, could be considered an eyesore to most. From Bombay Beach to Niland, abandoned homes and businesses seem to be the norm. One conjures images of what a post-apocalyptic society would look like.
A Ghost town.
Yet, even among these dismal conditions, hope pervades.
The Calipatria Inn, run by a friendly gentleman by the name Dipeck, is an example of how optimism and hope for a better tomorrow, keep business alive.

The best part was seeing it in the rear view of the vehicle. Of course, to get that far required dealing with the police being called twice to come and remove us from the room we had already paid for a late checkout to occupy. This was after the illegal construction taking place next door caused my spouse to lose their vision. The construction crew also lives in the rear parking lot in a shanty styled Shanghai-La. the owner watches people obsessively and overall it’s a pretty weird scene.

First the positives:
This was very close to the Slab City, East Jesus, and Salvation Mountain areas which is what we wanted to explore. The outside looks exactly as the photo and was right off of the main road so was easy to see even as Google for some reason thought it was 0.3 miles further south. The shower worked well and was clean and the bed was comfortable and king size.

The negatives were the place was dusty in the corners of the room and the floor did not look vacuumed. I'm one of the few apparently who like in room coffee maker and I normally use the free coffee but bring my own in case and I do always run a couple of pots of water through to clean it out.
No free coffee in the room to use? Worse the pot and maker was very dusty, even inside the pot and a dead spider was in the pot. I did not try to clean or use it because it was too much.
Cleaned a dead cricket in the bathroom and another dead bug by the couch.
It would have been all good had the place just been much better cleaned.
Minor negatives were the AC works oddly and seemingly homeless people living across the way. The AC blows cold air so works but it turns off after a very short time so takes a long while to cool the room down.
The parking lot is dirt so may want somewhere else if rain is in the forecast.

When pointed this out to personal from motel, was told it was not dirty and other people never complained.
When I questioned again about state of room, was told they were up to California code for corvid 19, which I guess means they don't have to clean up rooms.

The first thing I noticed is how unsafe the area seems. The guy at the counter was extremely rude. He also told me twice that the room was non smoking after I assured him that we are non smokers and then the room REEKED of cigarettes. Everything in the room was disgusting. The bathroom and bed were gross enough to leave immediately. The sheets were stained and torn. The mattress came from a horror movie. He of course did not refund me but you couldn't have paid me to stay and there's no where else to stay for a while. Driving another hour to get away from that awful place was the best choice.
