Days Inn by Wyndham Indio offers a budget-friendly, pet-friendly base in the eastern end of the Coachella Valley. The hotel sits near I-10, which makes it convenient for road trips and easy to reach from both Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) and Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport (TRM). Small dogs are welcome, making this a practical stop for travelers passing through the desert with their pups or attending events in the area.

Indio is best known as the home of the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals, and the Days Inn’s proximity to the Empire Polo Club grounds makes it a logical pick during festival season. Outside of those big weekends, Indio has a more laid-back character with date farms, local restaurants, and the Shields Date Garden nearby — a fun stop where you can grab a date shake (your dog can wait with you at the outdoor tables).

The hotel rooms are straightforward and clean, with the standard amenities you would expect from a Wyndham property: Wi-Fi, TV, and climate control that keeps up with desert temperatures. The real value here is the combination of price point and pet acceptance. Many budget hotels in the valley do not allow dogs at all, so having a reliable option in Indio fills a genuine gap for dog owners on a tighter travel budget.

For outdoor time with your dog, the area around Indio has some good options. The Coachella Valley Preserve, just north of town, features the Thousand Palms Oasis trail through a natural palm grove — a unique desert landscape. The city also has several parks with open grassy areas where your dog can stretch out. Dr. Carreon Park and Miles Avenue Park are both worth checking out for a casual walk or some off-leash time if designated areas are available.

To confirm the current pet policy, including any fees or weight limits for dogs, contact the Days Inn by Wyndham Indio directly at (760) 989-4105 or check their website. This is a no-frills choice, but for dog owners who need a clean, affordable room in the eastern valley, it gets the job done.
