The room was clean and well-appointed. Mike at check-in was efficient and friendly. Throughout our stay, the front desk staff (Mike, another young man, and Linda) were friendly, helpful and responsive (explaining heat and fan controls, providing casual restaurant recommendations, providing map of Palm Springs and the area, etc.). Good coffee, hardboiled eggs, muffins, yogurt, cereal, milk for continental breakfast. Smaller classic hotel centered around attractive courtyard and small pool.

Their customer service was excellent. The staff did a great job of alerting guests to eateries open on Thanksgiving. The property on the whole was nice. With that said, my room (#2) needed a lot of TLC. And to add insult to injury, the TV mysteriously lost its signal from the hours of 1am - 6am. Hmmm.

I can’t say enough good things about our stay! The staff was exceptional - everyone was so friendly and accommodating. Our room was clean, the property was quiet and relaxing. We especially loved that it was kid-free and pet-free. It was a short drive from either downtown or the Palm Desert area and they don’t charge for parking on property. A continental breakfast is provided, we loved eating out in the courtyard. We would definitely stay here again!
