Room at the Inn

Still looking for a motel room for Coachella this weekend? "A scarcity of tickets and expanded camping options at the Empire Polo Grounds have led to cancellations, hotel owners and managers surveyed by The Desert Sun said, leaving hoteliers scrambling to fill rooms for one of the area’s biggest weekends. Calls to more than a dozen hotels found an unusual number of available rooms for the weekend." Among others, Indio Super 8 Motel., Travelodge, Western Sands Motel, and the Clarion all have openings, according to the paper. [Desert Sun]
