Just one night & fine stay. The room was very roomy, really nice to have the sitting area/TV room. Beds were very comfortable! Check in was quick & easy, nice people running office 😁the only thing was if walking around barefoot, which I do, the floor could be cleaner. Would stay again.

Where to start… got there opened up the door to an old musty cigarette smell and almost all light fixtures didn’t work nor outlets .. we made do with one out let which was on the lamp (used for husbands C-PAP machine) next was the shower faucet handle … IT SPUN ! Had to guess on where to find hot or cold and had to play with it to turn off… I wish this was all that was wrong…. Woke up in middle of the night to cockroach crawling in front of my feet while using the restroom.. ughhh I couldn’t sleep after this and so we checked out earlier then we had planned…. Pool and tiki bar was good… but I won’t be back… sad because this place looks like it would have potential if somebody would just upkeep everything or upgrade

Great theme, cheap hotel

This hotel is cheap in many ways but it’s doubles down on the Tiki Theme in ways only seen at them parks. The attention to detail spent on making every rock, every pillar, every post have a tiki idol on it could have been spared for better mattresses or to replacing the shower handles. Pros: Great on site bar (The Reef) with heavy pours. Great pool and hot tub! Tiki theme on MAX, AC worked great! Cons: cheapest mattress ever, thin walls, had to get pool towels from the front desk, microwaves are rented from front office. Would I return? Yes. Would I also bring a mattress pad, my own microwave, and pool towels? Also yes. Bottom line: if your plan is to visit Palm Springs and indulge in enough tiki themed cocktails to render yourself unconscious each night, it’s perfect. If you’re expecting a luxury stay, it’s not for you.

Most of the outlets in the room don’t work, the toilet seat is pinching me every time I go to the restroom. Overall, it’s old and dated.

All went well until this morning when I was putting my personal items in my car and the door to my room slammed shut. That would have not been a big deal normally, but there was no one on site to help me. There was a note on the lobby door that they would be unavailable from 7 a.m. until 9 a.m. It was not 9:30 and I had a 10 appointment. So, I climbed in the window because I had to get to my appointment. I'm 78 years old.

This could be a great little hotel but it needs so much work. Everything is old in the rooms and they look shabby. Do not expect to love the rooms. Gross carpets do bring your slippers and Clorox wipes for everything. We have seen roaches each time we have been there. However The theme, pool area and restaurants are excellent.
