:beer 1st Hi long time no chat...
2nd - Has anyone stayed in Needles in a hotel? We are taking the trailer to Needles marina and some other people want to join us, and we are already maxed out. I'm afraid to even suggest a hotel in that town to them!!! Anyone stayed somewhere slightly nice, a place without roaches/meth heads/and or robbing maids?

Yo NT! da gig and mrsgig stayed at a Motel 6 a few years back that was clean and problem-free. Can't remember the address but you can get it from their website. If memory serves right, there are 2 or 3 Motel 6's. We stayed at the one that was on the Needles Marina end of town. There was a clean, very friendly Denney's right next door. We went out to tghe marina and hung out w/friends on a Sat. night and left da boat parked at the motel w/o any problems. :good  BTW; may da gig go? Pleeeeease..... :p

Do you know that they have cabins at the marina? They are a bit small, but the showers are close by and big and clean. That way you aren't dealing with having to shuttle back and forth. If you can get a spot out that way, it makes it easy stroll over and socialize.

As far as hotels, We've stayed at Traveler's Inn for years. Let's just say it's boat friendly - meaning you can usually park your trailer not far from your door if you get a room out back. Not the Ritz, but it has a pool and jacuzzi. Usually have food delivered from the local pizza joint ...not sure what they are calling it this week. It "was" River City Pizza...before that, a Mudsharks. Have a big party around the pool. The other places, across the 40, are a bit uptight and a few bucks more on average,  :good but check it out, call them all.

Since your staying at Needles Marina, they have "trailers" available for rent...did that a few times.  If the cabins are taken, you might look into this option... :cool  :good

The Health Dept. comment was in reference to Traveler's. They are the stop over place for all the BNSF railroad guys and some of the rooms got a bit run down.

The cabins at Needles Marina are nice and clean. And Shue's right, they do have a few trailers. they seem nice. We were next to one once. You could get them to spot it near you if there's a space open.

I don't know about Needles, but in Havasu there are alot of homes and condos for rent by the day.  And pretty reasonable, too.  Look online or if anyone needs any help I have a property manager in my office that handles them, too.


Just livin' the dream in Lake Havasu.......
