HighlightsChic hotel offers funky decor and spa services in Palm Springs
Ace Hotel and Swim Club is built on the foundation of a 1965 Howard Johnson hotel and the property has been revamped to maintain the 1960s era charm. Funky, edgy decor creates a distinctive look, and rooms combine well-worn leather couches with luxurious bedding, expertly melding gritty, 60s-type furnishings with modern amenities. Just south of downtown Palm Springs and close to the mountains, Ace Hotel and Swim Club gives a nod toward the coolness of the past, in a contemporary setting.Ace Hotel and Swim Club Rooms

Dining
- Amigo Bar
- There is the original old ranch-hand bar, the Amigo Room, which we have restored to its high/low glory and we have added an old ice cream truck- the Short Bus- as our poolside bar. The Trailer bar- an old caravan with graphics by the Date Farmers- will roll up to the Commune for events. Unlike typical Palm Springs bars, we emphasize quality micro-distilleries and fresh mixing ingredients like real, squeezed juices, infusions, and homemade syrups.
- King's Highway Restaurant
- We took the old Denny's restaurant on the property and unearthed a cool terrazzo floor, sandblasted the flagstone walls and recovered the booths in saddle leather. The food redefines roadside diner fare as part of an American peasant food tradition-rustic, direct, resourceful, sensuous, and social. The focus will be on fresh, organic, and local ingredients that expand the stereotypical view of Palm Springs to create a regional cuisine grounded in a sense of place. We understand that food is first and foremost a series of relationships not only in the eating but in the preparing and the sourcing. We believe that cooking should always be inspired but never pretentious and that food should be accessible but not ordinary. In feeling, we imagine this experience like the most amazing backyard barbeque you've ever been to.

We should have stayed at motel 6
On check in we were asked to pay an additional $20 per day as a resort fee to park. Then I asked for a room close to parking as my mom has cancer and can't walk far (it wasn't close enough). They could only put us in an upstairs room (no doubles downstairs), no elevator. The decore is lacking (pictures are pieces of paper attached to the wall by binder clips). No carpet only rugs that you trip on. There was no bathtub at $200 a night you expect a few things. The bedspreads looked like potatoe sacks and the wall is covered in canvas material? The rooms are small and so is the TV. The second night we were there they had a band playing right next to us near the pool. At 12:10am I finally called to complain. They finally lowered the music at 12:30 am but wouldn't allow us a late check out for keeping us up late. Don't go here, try the motel 6 next door - better value for your money. ACE is a pet friendly hotel - that's who I'd put up there my dog (not me)..

Spa Resort Casino is fun, in fact, trying staying there - they have a nice hotel for less or the same as the ACE swim.

Surprises
You will get two surprises at least. You will be hit with a $20 resort fee per day that is for parking and extras. Hey, this is an ex-Howard Johnson property, not the downtown Westin in L.A. Also, if your room is across from the large recreation hall we heard the disco music from 8 to midnight on Friday. There is no escape if you want it quiet and would think it nice to sit in front of the outdoor gas fireplace outside the room.

All in all, a solid B+
Super comfortable vibe with an awesome pool/spa. Very friendly staff, although they didn't follow up on two separate requests I made (even if they did so in a super friendly way!). Love the loaner bikes - perfect to tour downtown Palm Springs. In room fridge (and for that matter shelves) filled with undersized and oversized products--booze, chips, etc., that you'd have to be crazy to buy.

Great location whatever direction you want to go in the valley - minutes to downtown "old" Palm Springs, and minutes to the "new" Palm Springs Cities. Can't say enough about the restaurant "Shame on the Moon" - superb in every way.

Creative vibe but need more flexibility
Overall favorable - liked the off beat creative style, inexpensive food choices. Some of the staff were inflexible and immature and not willing to cater to my unique needs, e.g. making it impossible for me to use the piano in the bar for practice at any time. Room cleaning was sloppy.

Family on the go.
Unique experience!
We were planning our next trip as soon as we got there. Great value, Good location close to downtown PS. Very friendly staff, this place was cool enough for my teenage daughter and relaxing enough for me. Weekends are filled with loads of fun indluding a live DJ and snow cones. We stayed until the middle of the week and it was a very different vibe. But still fun, rode the free bikes available to guest. The food was good, you must try the fries. Best coffee! Note, I was surprised to see and additional $20.00 a day charge for "facility use" meaning the pool etc. I am sure it was in the fine print but a little disappointed. Regardless I would still return if the price was right.

Cool - Hip and Relaxing; Great Food
We enjoyed the relaxed hip vibe - everyone welcomed. Our favorite restaurant - great food for a great price. Morning Sunday breakfast came with our hostess belting out an amazing show-tune as an apology for our wait (which wasn't even bad). Fresh ingrediants, insprired cooking and french pressed coffee - STAFF very accomodating and friendly. OH and Snow Cones by the POOL!

Casual chic decor and very pet friendly
I really loved the size of the pool, the poolside vibe and DJ entertainment. The outdoor seating lounges in front of each room on the ground floors with the huge fireplaces were great.

Ace Hotel - Great Value in Palm Springs
The Ace Hotel has it all. I went with my girlfriends for a weekend get away. We stayed in a King Lounge room, it was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed. Very comfortable beds. We spent all day at the pool drinking cocktails and enjoying the atmosphere. DJ at the pool all day along with a bbq and cocktails...sublime. I would not recommend this hotel for children, although there were some there. Children of the four legged type are encouraged and are even allowed in the pool area (not in the pool).
