It's definitely light-hearted, fun and very Trixie. Everything she touches becomes pink, vintage, sexy and fabulous. The show is one thing but I can't wait to head on up from San Diego and stay there. I'm actually in the desert now as I write this. It will be fun to stay there and let loose at the Trixie Motel. 😉

Love Trixie, Hate Dani

Loved the show! Trixie's style and personality bleed through so well, and she's truly the namesake of the place! But, I did not like Dani. The constant issues that were her fault (faux-terrazo, purchasing an entire room of wallpaper that's too small, etc) were very frustrating to watch. Yes, it was probably to create drama, but it just created snags and an unpleasant viewing experience.
Amazing

Fun and Light

A great show to just enjoy and laugh. Highly recommend. Seeing everyone doing their part, poking fun, discovering plans, and making THE place to go in Palm Springs is a treat. Guest stars and background people being shown makes it even better. It's amazing what all Trixie can do while being so skinny.
Great Binge-watch

This show is exactly what you want from Trixie! We want cute makeovers, funny little interludes and just a taste of jeopardy! The production value is high, the finished product is always cute and the way she is able to bring out all of her besties to make a good TV show, iconic!
It feels criminal to rate this anything less than a 7 because it cannot be denied that this is a design show on par with any other and then to top it all off there is just so much campiness to it!
Binge watch at your leisure!

An illusion of whimsy

While I do generally like the concept of Trixie Motel (both as a show and the actual motel), I find the show to feel very, very staged at moments. And while I'm aware this was probably a conscious stylistic and narrative decision from Trixie and her crew, it tends to cross over into awkward territory at times, ultimately bogging the show's flow and pace down.
The actual motel renovation on the other hand, is simply marvellous. The interior designer of the show is marvellous and a real joy to watch, and it's great seeing David get more screen-time. Trixie is hilarious as always, but this isn't her best representation on screen yet, mostly because her persona feels too staged here.

Great start, Ended up Str8 Washing

This was a great concept, sadly it was driven away from the LGBT community to focus on the really marginalised community in USA a white blonde straight woman who was the "decorator".
Was sad to not see the community really involved. And David had less focus that the "decorator" which was the real shame as his personality, wit and the fact the camera loved him.
Real missed opportunity.

I cant wait to see katya on the show. I'm so hype!!!! I love you trix, this is definitely 10/10 and i am so proud.

Trixie is an acquired taste. She's also the most interesting and engaging personality here.
The GM is so smarmy it's hard to hear what he's saying.
The Interior Designer is one of those vapid Cali types who confuse garish with lively and tasteful.
The rooms, while all colorful, lack much in the way of coherent and cohesive design vocabulary.
They all sort of look similar.
And while Emily Hampshire is game, the sudden swerve into situation "comedy" was uncomfortable to watch and sit through.
The other stunts, from blasé marital sadness, to guest "stars" who are mostly bottom rung LGBT "celebrities" who you'll forget almost before the episodes are are over, remind you that there's other, better, shows out there to watch.
This makes me long for literally almost any other renovation show on Discovery+.
And the direction and cinematography is so obviously not directed at the LGBT audience.
It lacks verve and visual interest.
Not recommended to anyone who isn't a huge Trixie fanatic.

New fav show to binge

pauljk-7975524 June 2022
Uninspired, scripted, poorly written
myblogsucks24 July 2022
At least 60 percent of Trixie Mattel's onscreen time is her whining about the budget, time, permits, her own ambitions and greediness that no one forced upon her. You're not doing drag if you're not obsessively transforming every single thing in your life into a money making scheme.
Drag queens used to be fun
mls418215 June 2022
Oh lord I miss the days of clever, hilarious drag queens. They were a gift from the universe.
Now they seem to be just any person desperate for attention who can't get it by being themselves.
Oh Charles Pierce, please come back!
