I just got back from the Desert Inn and Suites last week and I thought the pool was a little creepy.
It was clean (from what I could tell), but the room it was in was very small and had a stong smell of chlorine.
The hotel only had one way in and out and the pool was just past the entrance. It has full lenght windows so you are kinda like in a fish bowl. Everyone walking by looks in. There were 2 or 3 of those plastic patio chairs in there to sit on if you are a parent watching you kids swim. But barely enough room for them to be on the deck. The hot tub is a few feet from the pool towards the back.
The pool always had people in it from afternoon till closing, I think 10 or 11 pm. Not a huge pool, but maybe backyard personal pool size.
I guess the part that creeped me out was that there was no plants in the room, even fake one would help the look and everytime someone walked by, they would stare in the window.
We never swam in it, we didn't have time and my kids don't really like pools, but if you want a warm inviting pool, Desert Inn would not be the place to go. If you wanted an indoor place to let your kids burn off some energy and didn't really care about the surroundings, it would work.
