The room had a noticeable unpleasant odor. I can tolerate old, but this had a nursing home/urine type smell. I was looking forward to my stay here based on the pictures, the grounds are nice, but that's where it ends. Room #2 in addition to the odor, showed signs of neglect. Again, I don't mind old, but scuffs, scrapes, marks on walls can easily be cleaned or painted over. New fixtures that weren't original didn't seem clean. Towels were clean but had stains on them. Furniture, while vintage was peeling apart. A deep cleaning, simple makeover would've easily gotten 5 stars from me and a repeat guest. I get the impression they are doing the least amount of upkeep as possible, and it shows. While my stay wasn't awful, I would try somewhere else.

This hotel was amazing! I would definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Despite of no staff being there all the time we had everything we needed without needed help. They had a grill which we used and all tools were available. They had a game room with a lots of card games, photo booth, karaoke, television, microwave and a refrigerator to store things meanwhile being there. They had a sauna, a cold plunge, hot tub in and nice area. The pool was amazing and clean. Room was clean and well kept. I would definitely stay herw again!

I arrived at 6pm. There was wasn’t any staff onsite for check in. This would not have been so difficult had I not been sent 7 long text messages and 5 emails prior to check in. As I read through all these messages I tried calling the customer service # posted on the main gate and pressing the Ring camera doorbell button. No response from either until 5 hours later. This is more of an Airbnb and not a hotel.

Pleasant stay.

The hotel and room were easy to access with the codes sent to me. My room was mostly very clean. I appreciated that there were several coffee pods as I need at least two cups every morning. The only downside for me was that the AC was quite loud, but had to be on...I mean, it's Palm Springs after all.

I stayed 3 nights at this hotel. I had a serious air condition issue during my whole stay. On the second night the A\C gave error and started to not cooling. I couldn’t tell anyone as the property is a non-staff hotel. When I woke up I called customer care and they sent a technician a couple of hours later in the afternoon. He said he reset the a/c and said now is okay then left. The room size is big and the ven when the technician said it’s okay, there was really not perfect cooling in the room but I said myself it’s okay it’s better than having no a/c. However in the same night the a/c gave the same error and stop cooling again. It was a nightmare to trying to sleep without a proper air conditioning while 110 degrees heat wave in PS. I called customer care again on my checking out day yesterday. They said they are very sorry about all this inconvenience and they will get call me very soon. Since yesterday no-one called me actually. Hotel has nice decorated big rooms I really liked it when I first arrived. But air conditioning made my stay quite uncomfortable under dessert heat.

Very close to downtown and popular restaurants. Place was vintage, found it really cool. Great spot to stay with a large party. Parking wasn’t an issue when we were staying. You are looking at approx. 10 standard parking space, 2 for accessibility, and about 2 for EV. The suite we stayed was Presidential, it had 2 full baths which made me and my wife excited! Room was very colorful, lots of space. AC was blasting on cool which was a plus since it was almost 100°F when we visited. Room and facility was clean, no foul odor or smell. Easy to access, you have the main gate code and another for your room. The hotel does not have staffing active 24/7, so do note that if you need frequent assistance. Going back to the location, it was 20 minutes away from the Cabazon outlets and less than 1 hour away from Joshua Tree National Park. Also a few mins away from Elvis Presley’s Honeymoon Hideaway house which was sadly now private property but cool to look at.

What a cool hidden gem in Palm Springs! This spot was such a nice surprise find. Rooms were simple and clean, and we loved the hot tub and pool/patio area. Elise and staff were friendly. I only wish we could have stayed longer.
