The motel has a nice vibe with enjoyable pool, palm trees and flowers. It is well kept and has pride of ownership. Liked the spacious room that included a kitchen and back door to a patio area which turned out to be a decent star gazing spot (they turn the main motel sign off at around 9 p.m. to help facilitate that which we appreciated). Liked that we could open the windows at night vs. using the air conditioner. Enjoyed talking with the manager.

Bed pillows could use an upgrade. On a busy thoroughfare during the day.

Room was very clean, host was very hospitable and informative, especially appreciated his suggestion for a hike appropriate for my very young grandsons. However, we understood from room description that there would be a small, separate sitting area. Such was not the case. Given that we were three adults and two children ages 2 and 4 we thought this would be very helpful. It turned out we got by okay using the kitchenette and bedroom to spread out. Again, very clean.

We had a deluxe double studio which was like a little cottage and very clean and comfortable. I enjoyed the kitchen to make coffee and keep a few food items cold. The front patio had a nice view of the grounds palm trees and hills. The A/c worked well, as did the windows for fresh air. We didn’t use the pool but it looked clean and pleasant. Overall well kept property and nice owner.

Nothing really, some small touch ups could be done in the shower ceiling.

The location is great, just outside the town. The rooms are actually small apartments with a backyard too. The pool is very convenient and open for the guests. There is the possibility to use the barbecue.

The furniture and the room are a little bit old style. I would say '90s style. Ice machine is not working.

We spent two nights here and couldn't find not a single reason to complain after seeing almost 20 different motels during our road trip from San Francisco to San Diego and back. Super clean and staff was very friendly. Stanlunds has pretty high rating on Booking.com as affordable motel for travelers and is worth every single star they own for a reason. Will be staying here again next year without a doubt.

Clean, good AC, nice to have a private patio. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Jacuzzi in pool area would be great, or much better: private jacuzzi on private patio. I'd happily pay another $50-$75/night for it. Also we came for the Dark Sky Community to watch the meteor shower, it would be great to increase the density of the walls between patios to eliminate light bleeding out from other people's rooms. If you could combine all of the above it would be a star watching party par excellence!

This is exactly the type of motel I like - family run, single storey, outside chairs and table by room, quiet location, near to the things we wanted to see, friendly owner.

Nothing.

It is an old property but well kept up. They do not pretend to be anything that they are not. Sometimes it is nice to park your car at your motel room door.

Met my expectations.

Great motel in Borrego Springs. Peaceful and quiet, lovely pool and welcoming host. Great spot for star gazing and to see the sculptures in the state park.

The property was in a quiet location but close to the main part of town. The staff were great and very helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.
