“Best Kept Secret in Downtown Palm Springs”

We have good friends in Palm Springs, so we wanted to see them AND have a nice little getaway. This gem of a stay popped up on our Travel Zoo feed and it looked great. Now at the end of our stay, all I can say is WOW. This little place is the best kept secret in downtown Palm Springs and exceeded every expectation. The charm, atmosphere and attention to detail here is amazing. Being adults only there were no screaming kids around (when you’re a parent it’s nice to have that break) and just have a far more relaxed and inviting feel. The staff is attentive and top notch and so friendly and accommodating. The pool courtyard is beautiful and with the backdrop of the mountains as you lounge poolside, it’s simply stunning. The room was absolutely immaculate and again, attention to detail in every regard. Two-person spa tub, electric (no heat) fireplace for ambiance, beautiful four post king bed, chandeliers…stunning, quaint, chic room. They provide breakfast each morning, which is nothing over the top, but for a small place without a kitchen, etc. at least they provide something if you’d like it. That said, you’re in the heart of downtown, so you have many places to choose from that are steps away and worth going to. They have fresh lemon water stations in several spots and endless clean towels and robes. Our stay came with a discounted spa treatment at their on-site spa so I booked an appointment ahead of time for my wife and she said it was amazing. Free parking was also a great perk and the coffee bar in the lobby rivaled Starbucks, with complimentary biscotti and though I didn’t partake - ha - an endless candy bar. If you’re reading this it’s likely because you are a scrupulous traveler and have had your share of sketchy stays and places you’ve been horrified by, shook your head at or were just unimpressed and will never stay there again. We’ve experienced all the above over the years. I can say, without hesitation, you will absolutely love this place. Picture a Tuscan villa infused with mid-century Sinatra charm. We’ve been to Palm Springs several times and this was not only our best trip and stay ever, but we have now found our go-to hotel for every future stay. I won’t even waste my time looking anywhere else. This stay and this hotel are simply A+ / 5 stars.

“Nice hotel that could be better”

This hotel was good but I do have some opinions..first the good.. this is great location. It is easy to walk everywhere in downtown Palm Springs. The pool is good size, clean and pleasant. The people who work here were friendly and helpful. But.. the room we stayed in was awkward. It had two bedrooms but no inside common area. There was a little patio outside but it was too hot and sunny to really enjoy. The other problem was the room was impossible to get dark. There were lose shutters along the front of the room where bright lights are on all night around the pool. The doors to the room had frosted glass so the room could not ever get very dark. The hotel advertises an outdoor hot tub which was one of the reasons we decided on the hotel, but it was broken the whole time we were there. For the price we paid about 500.00 a night they could have offered something in return for this disappointment. Another ” opinion” I have was on the “breakfast” they provided. I think if this is all they can come up with why serve it at all or give less stuff that looked like it came from 7/11 and provide one or two quality items. I think some of the other choices were odd. Like why a “candy bar” why not snacks and refreshments adults would prefer since it is adult only hotel. Why no bottled water in the room? It’s in the mini bar and charging 2.50 is pretty ridiculous.
