Fodor's Expert Review Carriage Inn
901 N. China Lake Blvd., Ridgecrest, California, 93555, USA
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
This well-kept hotel has large and tastefully decorated rooms; you can also stay in poolside cabanas that are a bit homier. A mister cools off sunbathers during the hot summer months. Café Potpourri serves a mix of American, Italian, and southwestern specials. Charlie's Pub & Grill ($) serves burgers and sandwiches, which go nicely with the custom home-brewed ale from Indian Wells Valley Brewery.
PROS
- clean, big rooms
CONS
- seems pricey for this town
- Internet service is spotty
