29 Palms Inn

Anyone ever clean the public sinks?

Some time back, this was a great place to visit. In the last few years not much has been done to maintain it - the public sinks in restrooms by pool are horribly dirty, not sanitary. The food still is good but seriously over priced - $20 for pasta? Wait staff is cheerful and helpful, but service is very slow. The dining room is crowded, they allow children to scream and cry and don't ask parents to take them out so people spending $20 for pasta can eat in peace. The bartender is more than slow, she ignores customers. Weekend bartenders are very attentive - a large contrast in service. They provide music, very nice of them. They had a older guy who played blues, but the queer dude who runs around doing nothing fired him! We took friends to hear blues and have drinks, and when another musician (?) if that's what he was... was there instead of the blues guy, we asked what night the blues guy would be there, and was told he was fired. He was the best thing they had going, except for the pretty garden. No reason to come down from Apple Valley anymore.

Unique Quality: The pool is nice and clean, could do with out the children screaming and splashing people laying in the sun. The garden is beautiful so is the lagoon. The place needs to be cleaned, it is dirty, the pool furniture falling apart. Dining room is crowded.
