Top California Desert Hotel Reviews

Mykonos Desert Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay , staff was beyond helpful and friendly. The property was somewhat outdated but clean . I think it's the staff that made our stay."

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"I only gave this a 4 star. I have been there before when it was a 5. It is under new management and found it very strange that a resort (who charges a resort fee) was totally out of washcloths. They were kind and offered extra hand towels, but come on, Amazon is a day away for those folks who asked for one (like me)) would have been happy to just have one. So, a 4, but a fabulous place to say the least!!"

Miracle Springs Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"There were RATS IN the bungalows. The manager was rude and not helpful. I paid for 3 bungalows yet she tried to say I didn’t when I had the receipts showing I did. The hotel is ran down along with the pool and jacuzzis . The only thing good about it is its mineral water, that’s if you like sitting in leaves and whatever else is in the jacuzzis. Outdated."

Hilton Vacation Club Palm Canyon Palm Springs

8/10 Good

"Good location for Palm Springs. Had a good stay. Great pool area that is big, attractive and has a good atmosphere. Slide for the kids. Carlos makes great cocktails and is very friendly at the pool bar. The buildings and communal areas/corridors are a bit dated. Room (studio) was spacious and average decor for a Hilton. Bathroom dated and a bit tatty. Could do with some more amenities for resort fee (currently pool, parking, basketball court). Minimal dining on site - only a pool bar that shut at 7pm. Overall 7/10."

Renaissance Palm Springs Hotel

8/10 Good

"Had a great time and the staff was amazing. Some things were closed maybe due to weather or off season but still had a great time. Most part everything was clean though our room had a very old and noisy ac unit that kept us up all night long and the ice room smelled like a broken sewer. Everything else was very nice - didn’t run out good time."
