This was such a unique little gem of a space in Palm Springs. Definitely for the person who appreciates quirky retro vibes and doesn't mind witnessing a vision that's in the process of being brought to life. Mathew was a delightful host and was available and accommodating for our late check-in, and communicative during our stay whenever we had questions. The hot tub and happy hour were very enjoyable.

Such a beautiful space! It was lovely waking up and seeing the bright blue pool in the courtyard, with palm trees peeking up into the skyline. My room was clean and the bed was comfy. Matthew, the owner and host, was so sweet and welcoming to me, which made me feel at home while traveling alone. The only downside to the location was that it wasn't quite walking distance to anything--you still need a car, but that is more of a Palm Springs problem, not a problem with this place specifically.

Modernism Nightmare
We arrived in Palm Springs ready to check into our room and the hotel texted us that they had a flood and lost three out of the ten rooms in the hotel. Even though we had paid for this room months ago, they called on the day of our arrival during the busiest day of the year (Modernism Saturday). They said that they were having “technology problems) and did not realize that we had reservations that day. They found another room in another hotel and it was mediocre and not comparable to their hotel. It was too far away from the central downtown area. They offered us a free night at their hotel for the next time we visit Palm Springs and a bottle of champaign. But it was over an hour of total stress until this was all resolved.

Cute little oasis
We very much enjoyed our stay. The hotel was still recovering form damage caused by a storm the previous week, but still provided a nice breakfast. It was pleasant chatting with other guests over complimentary drinks and snacks in the afternoons.

Needs on site staff and cleaning
A 10-room "boutique" hotel run by the owner, with a charming atmosphere. Upon arrival, the front desk area by the pool was super messy. Were were immediately told that they were fixing something due to weather. Our room, while cute with its own patio, had a sagging mattress. Lack of proper window coverings resulted in early morning wake-ups at sunrise. The entry codes provided were keypad numbers, no key. Weaccidentally left our phone in the room at 11am with the photo of the code. There was no staff available until 5:00pm. Despite numerous attempts to contact the emergency number, phone calls, texts and emails, no response was received. Housekeeping was nonexistent, leaving us without fresh towels and trash in the room for our entire stay. The owner's absence during the day led to frustration and stress, as we needed assistance as we were there for my daughter's cheer competition. Additionally, upon peeking into the kitchen when we were looking for someone to help us, we were alarmed by the unsanitary conditions observed. Overall, while the hotel offers amenities such as breakfast and a pantry, cleanliness and availability of staff need improvement for a more enjoyable stay."

This place had a 9 rating. Upon arrival it was obvious that it was very run down, lots of stuff that was broken or very worn, joining room doors that did not close, DIY paint patches that didn't match, no heat...it was like a thrift store and a shabby hotel had a baby. Maybe that's your thing but I felt it was a bit over sold and reviews are a bit suspect. Sorry but this place was a hard fail for my wife and I.

I Left My Heart at The Westcott!
On my first visit to Palm Springs, my initial plan didn't involve spending much time at the hotel, but The Westcott transcends the ordinary. The moment I stepped inside, I found myself entranced by the eclectic, whimsical, yet undeniably stylish decor that graced every corner. This, however, was just the beginning. What truly sets The Westcott apart is the unparalleled customer service and meticulous attention to detail, masterfully orchestrated by owner Mathew with passion. His creation is nothing short of extraordinary – a nostalgic journey, reminiscent of a bygone era, cocooned in a warm, inviting ambiance of understated luxury. The atmosphere encourages guests to not just stay but to immerse themselves, creating connections and shared moments. The experience extends beyond aesthetics. The inclusion of complimentary homemade breakfasts, enticing happy hour offerings, a convenient self-service Pantry, alongside the allure of firepits and intimate seating areas around the pool, redefine the concept of hospitality. It's a harmonious blend that leaves guests wanting for nothing. In conclusion, The Westcott is a haven that goes beyond traditional accommodation. It's a retreat where time seems to stand still, offering a sanctuary for those seeking a blend of comfort and elegance. I can’t wait to return!
