Disliked: Staff & service
Have no alarm clock, no microwave, flat shower valve, it's hard to pull with finger nail. My wife could not pull out at all. After 2 nights, we stepped by asking the office lady, Ana about clock, microwave...She was so rude, yelled at me, talked so fast like attacking. All I said to her to keep quite, no need to yell at traveler. Stay away for kind attitude!

We booked a room for March 13 to 16th as we have done every time we'd visit Palm Springs. We always enjoyed our stays here in the past but this time was a completely different experience. It first started with check in which took about 20 min because there was only one person checking in a huge line. No biggie, but wouldve been helpful for the poor woman working solo. I requested a room on the second floor but it was pretty packed so we were assigned a room on the first floor that was unfortunately right next to a room that was being renovated. So no chance to relax after check in with construction noise happening all afternoon. Cable wasnt working so we couldnt turn the volume up to help drown out that noise. The room was very worn down, dirty, holes in the walls and missing or broken outlet plates. Grout missing in the tile bath floor, broken/chipped laminate flooring that they tried to fix with glue. The worse part was the bed which bowed and sank toward the middle. I threw out my back after 1 night of sleep here that we decided to just leave. The manager Jose called me the next morning to ask where we had gone, i explained everything and how unhappy we were. He was apologetic and offered a refund for the two nights we werent staying. I told him i really appreciated that offer. He said we'd get a refund within 3 to 5 business days. Well its been over 6 weeks now and still no refund. I think thats pretty messed up to offer that and then rescind it. We will not be returning.

I've come here twice for the tennis tournament at Indian Wells. This place has a cool, tiki, tiki, jungle vibe. The pool and hot tub are great to relax by yourselves or interact with other guests. The Reef (poolside bar/restaurant) is great - you can eat/drink inside or outside in the pool area. Good prices too.

This is a tiki-motif hotel. It is cute, not fancy, but a clean, well-maintained, boutique-style hotel. All the staff we encountered were very outgoing, friendly, and professional.

The worst was check in where the desk staff of one person insisted that no one could check in before 4 pm! As the line grew longer & longer, she finally began checking us in. Also, the place is not a „resort.“. It‘s very old and worn and in need of a complete makeover. It is clean enough but staff only cleaned once and did not provide new towels on my second day. The Mr Coffee pot needed descaling and I couldn’t make coffee in it unless I wanted to wait a long time for it to brew. The Mexican restaurant next door (Sancho‘s) is overpriced.
