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.

We LOVED this hotel and are already planning our return! The staff were so friendly and welcoming it made us feel instantly at home. The courtyard area is lovely - we honestly spent half our trip happily hanging by the pool. I adored the attention to detail - the kitchen is fully stocked, the pool has everything you would need to enjoy it, great snacks provided, etc. You just realllllly feel taken care of in a way I haven’t really felt at a hotel before. Book this place!!!

This is a very nice and quiet hotel. Terry was great and she gave us the VIP treatment. It’s close to Palm Canyon and the main strip, but not too close, if you know what I mean:). It’s also not too far from all the restaurants and shopping centers in Palm Desert which is about a 20 minute drive on east Palm Canyon. Great staff and we will definitely return.
