I love staying here - it is very old school Tiki Palm Springs! The rooms are comfortable and clean, although could use some updating. The restaurants and bars have great selections and the staff is helpful. Small but practical fitness center. It would be nice if the breakfast restaurant would open at 8 every day instead of just on weekends.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Dated, and only getting older. Shower handle was falling off and hard to operate. Beds were unstable and very very noisy. Only 2 towels in the room… pool towels are located where? The office was closed most of my stay. Furniture generally in horrible shape, stains and bad smells. Wasted space everywhere, room 103 is an example of a horrible layout. Could use a FULL overhaul of each room. The pool and hot tub are great, as are the grounds and character in general… but the rooms are becoming unusable and should not be rented.

Staff was wonderful! Pool, spa and outdoor area were very nice. The room looked and felt like it hadn’t been updated since 1970. The room description and pictures had the same layout but no updates. I reserved a double queen suite and the hotel staff said none of those rooms have been updated and the hotel was no responsible for images posted by third party booking sites. I would NEVER have paid what I did for the room. The tv didn’t work, bathroom fixtures falling off, grossly stained carpet. Mildew smell. Wish I could get a credit from Hotels.com if the are responsible since for the false advertising. There is also no “spa” on site as advertised.
