Palm Mountain Resort and Spa

Great location! It's a cute place. Amenities are good too. The only think that was problematic is that they only have 2 guest passes for the fitness center/gym at the Spa Casino so if they are in use, you have to wait or pay the day fee. Also, they only give the gym passes out for an hour at a time.

I booked this online and got a really good deal. Pay for the first two nights, and you get the third for free. I also had an early flight arrival and they were able to book me into my room right when I got there. It was a handicapped room, which wasn't too bad. The room itself was basic and fairly small in size, but the bathroom was pretty big, which was ok. The location of the resort is central to everything, which is great. I didn't check out the pool as I was spending time with friends elsewhere, but looked good. I also had to check out early for my flight and they were able to get my bill closed out quickly and have a cab show up within five minutes. All in all, it was good.

The hotel was a great price, the beds (2 large beds) were really comfortable, the linens were very nice and white, and the air conditioner worked very well. The pool is excellent, towels were abundant, vending and ice machines well stocked. It was great for me and my traveling partner, another single gay guy. We were not interested in clothing optional resorts, so I had to do plenty of research online. Honestly, much of Palm Springs which I love now having been there, could use a fresh coat of paint, and there are many empty buildings and abandoned storefronts. Even the upscale $$$ places that had the flashy hot websites, in real life seemed not as grandiose. They were in fact, re-purposed 70's motor Inns and re-used 1980's motels. After reading all of the online reviews and comments from other guests, I can say that there were absolutely no unpleasant surprises about this resort, and I definitely enjoyed my stay. Never interfaced with any hotel staff except during check in/check out, and they were friendly. We didn't have any problems finding parking in the lot, or on the actual street out front. I never had any complaints about loud neighbors or unruly children. Never saw the spa or inquired about any of their services. The pool and sauna close at 10pm which is kind of disappointing, and the decor in my room was putrid (even though the beds, again, were mighty fine.) But those two negatives are easy to work around when you're a poor traveler like me. I loved PS!!

I needed a basic hotel and good access to downtown Palm Springs in a relaxing environment. This place fit the bill. The pool area was inviting and the rooms are laid out nicely. The lady at the front desk was very courteous and got us an early check in. Starbucks was walking distance. The courtyard is well apportioned with bougenvillas and a nice tropical touch. The room needs a remodel, the plaster was cracking on the walls, but we didn't spend a lot of time in the room. Don't stay here if you like amenities in your room, the ceiling fan is the most advanced thing in here.
