The Ace Hotel & Swim Club is a modern desert oasis with 2 deep pools, a spa, a gym and close to downtown Palm Springs. I enjoyed my Ace Suite with King bed, upscale living area with vintage furniture like a steamer trunk, guitar, record player and more. There was a private patio, fireplace and bath with a shower & tub. I relished the meals at the onsite Kings Highway (modern roadside diner) especially the Belgian waffles and breakfast burritos. The Feel Good Spa offers guest a laid-back massage and other spa treatments. I opted for the Deep Goodness Bodywork treatment to alleviate my tension and soreness. So, if you are looking for a hotel with a desert chic, natural hot springs and a mountain backdrop............then try the ..........Ace Hotel & Swim Club..............a resort framed by a mountain backdrop and modern homes.

“Okay. Just not for me.”

Here's the deal: I've been passing by this hotel many times and the 'party' aspect of it isn't what I care about in a hotel so yes, I might be a bit biased. a friend wanted to stay there before moving to our regular hotel. We have stayed during a hot week in July and the pool was literally boiling.… more

Here's the deal: I've been passing by this hotel many times and the 'party' aspect of it isn't what I care about in a hotel so yes, I might be a bit biased. a friend wanted to stay there before moving to our regular hotel. We have stayed during a hot week in July and the pool was literally boiling. It was crowded, felt not very clean and service by the pool wasn't really a thing. The music choice is always up to the taste, it didn't fit mine. The rooms are clearly old motel rooms and you can see the age here and there. The shower pressure was good, the bed was comfortable. The AC was uncomfortable in both temperature and dryness. The crowd was a good mix but ultimately, I'm not made for a party hotel where loud music is blasting. I think it was a solid stay but won't be back.

“My love affair with the Ace PS is over”

I've stayed at the Ace PS at least 8 times since it opened in 2009. It's one of my favorite places to stay in Palm Springs. The staff are still (as always) SUPER nice, and chill.

I've stayed at the Ace PS at least 8 times since it opened in 2009. It's one of my favorite places to stay in Palm Springs. The staff are still (as always) SUPER nice, and chill. Unfortunately they are undergoing major construction (both poolside and the rooms) so there are workers everywhere and construction noise at the pool where they are building what may ultimately be a cool cabana area? I wish I would have known this. I ended up paying $349 for the cheapest room on Saturday night , with all the resort fees taxes etc it ended up as $475. I met up with girlfriends here and honestly the rooms were not up to par. (Ace..I have pics of the room issues if you are interested). I arrived Saturday 8/10 at 4pm, I did not go in the main pool because it was filthy dirty. There were napkins and hair ties at the bottom of the pool, and clumps of hair floating on top. I get it. This pool gets a lot of use. I figured I'd wait until Sunday morning when the pool was clean again before going in. Sadly, all day Sunday that same debris sat in the bottom of the pool (Ace..I have pics of this if you want it, I won't post it). Monday morning the pool HAD been cleaned, but of course I was checking out. I still had a good time, mostly because of the people. I also had a killer massage on Sunday morning with Stacie Swartz and she was amazing. Highly recommend her services. The mahi mahi tacos at the restaurant were delicious. I think I'm going to move on to another hotel in the future. Sorry, Ace. I'm sad to leave.

“More shabby than shabby chic”

This hotel has become shabby over the years. The cushions on my patio were threadbare. The patio fireplace was cracked and had peeling paint. The patio gate didn't close securely. The landscaping is either dead or dying. The mattress was hard and lumpy, and gave me a sore back. The room had l… more

This hotel has become shabby over the years. The cushions on my patio were threadbare. The patio fireplace was cracked and had peeling paint. The patio gate didn't close securely. The landscaping is either dead or dying. The mattress was hard and lumpy, and gave me a sore back. The room had limited closet space, and there were no drawers for clothes. We'll appointed gym, nice pool. Great restaurant.
