Rio Del Sol

This place is the gem in the desert. Nice, clean, quite, no pet fee, and offers a military discount. I will definitely stay here again if my family travels this way again.

Large clean room, great water pressure in the shower, friendly staff. Well accommodated room. If the pool was working at the moment it would be perfect otherwise it was excellent

Very clean organized room. also very nice staff. Cool stuff inside shop and breakfast is included. room was clean and there is a pool. Tad expensive but worth it kinda on busy area but most of needles is.

Very nice hotel, night reception staff was awesome. This is how you want to be received everyday when you are tired and need a place to rest. Definitely I will stay here again!

PROS:
–The décor is nice to look at.
–The mini fridge has a freezer.
–The staff is extremely kind.
–They ask you upfront if anything isn’t satisfactory, and will quickly give you more blankets, pillows, etc.
–They include some soap for the shower.
CONS:
–The WiFi is slow and choppy.
–The list of TV channels is low, but there is enough variety to last a couple nights.
–There is a nearby train that goes by, but it doesn’t honk its horn.
–There is no provided breakfast.
This hotel is a nice enough to stay for a couple a nights.

The location was fine. The rooms were good, the beds were SO comfortable! We drove down from Phoenix, after flying in from our home in Minneapolis/​St. Paul. I was originally going to give Rio Del Sol a 5 star rating. but now I wish I could give them a 20 star rating!
While tucking my daughter in for the night in JT, CA, I realized that her favorite stuffed animal, a lemur. named Lemur, was missing. I called the hotel late at night, and found out that Lemur was there, and was having a good time in Needles, waiting to fly back home to St. Paul on Monday in the AM.
When I told my daughter that Lemur was safe and sound, she cried for a good 5 minutes. I almost joined her.
Rio Del Sol, you went above and beyond. THANK YOU!

According to the receptionist, the Rio del Sol was formerly the Best Western Royal Inn. This hotel is midrange all the way: think Best Western minus some perks. For example: soap dispensers, no soap bars, 1 towel per person. Beds are clean, but covers are aged, and rooms are relatively quiet. However, this property is located right off a major rail through way, so you’ll hear, and in some cases experience trains passing by all night. They have a pool and indoor hot tub & sauna, which we loved ;) Breakfast is at a local restaurant, Juicys, probably also owned by the same people. Overall a good experience, we will definitely be back.

After a long ride from San Francisco it was close to midnight when I pulled into needles. My eyes were heavy and I needed some sleep. I pulled into the parking lot of the Best Western. They informed me that they were booked out but they recommended the Rio Del Sole hotel. That was a great recommendation. The rooms are $ 30 less than the Best Western. They’re clean, well-​maintained, and the staff was extremely friendly. I enjoyed the stay. The only reason why don’t give them five stars is the shower gel dispenser in the shower. I would’ve preferred a bar of soap on the counter.

A nice place to stop for a night. Clean, large king room was really nice. Fresh paint, clean, did not have the nasty antiseptic smell. Furniture typical for the price range. In room ac noisy like you would expect, we could hear our upstairs guests easily as they walked around. Ask for upper units if you are really light sleeper. Could easily get two twin rollaways in room. Since there is a Tesla supercharger right next door. It would be nice if the hotel would allow other electric vehicles to plug in since they have many outlets available. We asked but they said no. Good office staff. Definitely worth the price we paid for the night.

We stayed in a «non-​smoking» room that smelled like smoke felt like smoke left the room smelling like smoke. The sheets were clean the towels are clean I would recommend it if you don’t mind the smoking smell the price was good.

Our first choice was the Best Western right down the road… but we were informed that they did not allow pets… but their other hotel did. As we were making a cross country move, we had our little cat along for the ride. So off to the Rio Del Sol we went… my hopes were not too high when I say the motel set up. And I was not disappointed, the carpets were stained, the beds rock hard and the meager two pillows per bed were the size of postage stamps. The room was clean, but had a funky odor that I could not identify… nor did I really want to. Skip this one… sleeping in our van would have been a more upscale choice.

This was a great first stop for the first leg of my move to Colorado from California. I was more exhausted that first night than I’d thought I’d be, and I was also concerned about a safe place where my kitty Tiggy could get out of her carrier. I agree with other Unilocalers about the rate, but given the circumstances, it was fair. The Juicy’s restaurant next door provided both a satisfying dinner and complimentary breakfast. After a night’s rest, Tiggy and I were ready to resume our journey.

Bathroom and beds were clean, but the carpet was stained and filthy. The bed was ok, but the pillows are rock hard. Check in was flawless. Staff friendly. We got vouchers for breakfast for the diner across the street, so that was good. Paid $ 85 for 2 queens. Little steep for the quality.

We enjoyed our stay at rio del sol. The room was spacious. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The pool was clean and well kept. A good overnight stop. One small complaint: the carpet in the room had stains and needed cleaning /​replacement, but otherwise quite clean.

This place is a dump. Be careful not to take your socks off – the carpets are filthy. The staff were fine, but holy crap are the rooms gross.

The staff went beyond the nowadays customer service you normally receive. I made the reservation thru AAA online the morning off and after completing, I called the hotel to ensure reservation, which hadn’t reached them yet since I had literally just made it. My point is they actually called me back after they received the reservation to confirm, even though they did not have too. WAY BEYOND the customer service that I usually get. Kudos! Then got to hotel and again received a very warm welcome! Nice place for the price. Would stay here again!

Ok, lets be clear, this is not a 4 star hotel. But our stay here was definitely 4 star. This was the perfect mix of an older but well kept hotel, without peeling paint and cracks, and with a very very clean feel to it. We paid about $ 69 plus tax. Our room had a fridge, coffee pot, and microwave. The remove was one of those «clean remotes» which I love since we are traveling with a 9 year old. My husband and I are both very sensitive to the comfort of beds, and we both slept well. There was a $ 15 dog fee, which was bearable. There was a place to run the dogs which we really appreciated. No grass, as mentioned, but that wasn’t important to us. There was a train fairly close by depending on where your room is, but we were almost at the end and I didn’t hear it at night. Also, we got free breakfast with our room, at the Juicy Café. Choices were cold (cereal, etc.) or scrambled eggs with ham and a biscuit. If you wanted neither you got 20% off your bill. I got the ham and eggs and added cheese and gravy for like $ 1.50 total and it was really really good. The gravy was seriously amazing. You can see my pics loaded as well. We will definitely stay here again if in the area.

It would be five stars except for the price of $ 106. Got here at 1000pm and we asked for two queens plus a dog. We were told it would be $ 115 including the dog and tax. We said that was too much and they took off the discounted breakfast at Juicys for a total of 106. I still think that’s too high for needles, but I got the best sleep out of the whole road trip so I think it was worth it. Only $ 15 for the dog. They have a desert lot behind the hotel where trucks park at night. I found it was a good place to walk the dog, no grass just sand/​dirt. The room was clean quiet, with comfortable beds. The air conditioning worked well. It was a great place to catch up on sleep. It was pretty crowded, lots of Harley riders on a Monday night in may. I would recommend this hotel if you are in need of some good rest before hitting the road again.

We bathed our daughter the night we were there. Twenty minutes later when we went to put her to bed, we noticed her feet were disgustingly dirty already from walking around our hotel room. That grossed me out to no end.
They say free wifi, but when my husband was on, I couldn’t get on and vice versa. Annoying.
It is conveniently located by a Subway and Taco Bell. This was its saving grace but not reason enough to stay there again, that’s for sure.

Had this place been $ 45 a night I could understand but for the $ 70 I paid… I think not. The paint in the bathtub was cracking. Floors were less than clean. Ceilings were stained with I dont know what. We didnt check in until 12pm and were to tired to brave the store to find somewhere else to stay. But I was shocked at the state of the room for the price I paid. I should have found myself a motel 6 instead which usually is around 60 – 70. Service was friendly especially since I was in a group of 9 dripping wet motorcyclists rolling in at 12AM. The host was here on training from Russia and handled my group of 9 ease and humor. Beds I guess were comfortable but not sure how much I really trusted the cleanliness after seeing the bathroom.
Would I be back straight answer is no. Not for the price. If the room was $ 40 a night then maybe. Since we only spent about 6 hours in our rooms before checking out.
