    This seems to be an older resort, so it's quiet and there's no 'scene' or 'action' here. This was fine with us, but if you're looking for a party vibe this isn't the hotel.

    Loved that we could be accommodated for an early check-in. Our room had a fantastic view and was much bigger than we expected (it's a whole apartment!) There were TWO full bathrooms and the patio was great for hanging out in the morning. Mostly had the pool and hot tub to ourselves. This was so much better than we expected! Our only regret is we never made it to the gym.

    The attached restaurant offers breakfast but does not open until 10:00 AM. We didn't get a chance to try it.

    Pool and hot tub are excellent, and all facilities are well maintained. The room was large, apartment sized, with a full kitchen and two baths, all in pristine modern shape. The view from the pool is of the mountains and you get local bird life in the palm trees. Staff was attentive and the value is hard to beat. Assigned, covered parking. Patio with a grill and lounge chairs.

    Nothing bad. Bed needed a new mattress and pillows.

    Great location - convenient to downtown Palm Springs. The unit is quite large with a full kitchen, two bathrooms, a large bedroom with plenty of closet and drawer space plus a nice sized main room right off the pool area.

    This place exceeded expectations. It was spacious and so comfortable. It had everything you needed while staying. It was a two bedroom and two bathroom condo. The master shower had 3 shower heads to choose from, which was a nice surprise it also turned into a sauna if you wanted to use that feature. We were the only people there this weekend, so we got to enjoy the pool and spa all to ourselves. The front desk people were all amazing and super nice. Felipe, the maintenance man, was super nice and helpful when we needed batteries for the fan remote. I would love to stay again and would recommend it to everyone.

    Incredible value for a comfortable, spacious apartment with a heated pool in the heart of Palm Springs. We had a 2br suite and it was nicer than some short term rentals we’ve stayed at before. The kitchen was stocked, the sheets were clean, and it really felt like a home away from home. The AC was great. We loved that our apartment was in the back by the smaller pool which is not as deep as the main pool. The walls are very thick and we never heard anyone else, even though we were visiting while there was a festival going on.

    Shower pressure was bad People at pool took over by playing their own music and letting their kids SCREAM in pool from 9am-2pm. Not the hotel’s fault, just not relaxing having children cannonball while you are trying to float or read

    How BIG the rooms were and that we had a kitchen and 2 bathrooms

    Hot tub safety handle needs to be replaced as it is all torn up and looks tacky. I did let the staff know about that. That was really my only issue. Otherwise it was stellar and we would stay there again! Property was extremely well-maintained.

    Room was the cleanest room I have ever stayed in and that was soooo nice! Everything was newly remodeled and very updated and made it so comfortable and inviting. Loved the outdoor hot tub as it was very clean, but didn't smell chlorinated and was not too hot! Most nights it was just my husband and I out there.
