The room was simple, clean and pretty. The staff took the time to walk us to our room in the dark when we arrived, such a small gesture but so helpful. The breakfast in the morning was nice with a free continental breakfast and options to order and pay for an acaii bowl, wine, etc. The jacuzzi and heated pool were 10/10, I enjoyed going between the two different temperatures. We would stay here again!

Always willing to give desert hot springs a chance because it’s close to Joshua Tree and pioneertown- and who can afford $415 a night in pioneertown? The Onsen was alright, rough area. Not sure if there is a “nice” area around- apologize in advance if there is. You can tell an upgrade had been done in the last decade? Maybe, so the upgrade is now a little fading. Did not like the bed mattress, really liked the showerhead, it had a nice mist function and great water pressure. The bath products were actually solid. Visited the pool early, about 745am and had it to myself. The remnants of the Saturday evening before were still visible. Towels strewn around, robes, even door keys were left out. However even with what must have been a party, we didn’t hear noise in our room. We made sure to go back with cash after checkout and tip the housekeeper- we are sure she had her work cut out for her.

First room smelled like smoke and the door didn’t close properly and wouldn’t lock. They moved us to a different room which was much better. Then the unreal happened, NO HOT WATER!! 2 days we couldn’t take a shower and the front desk apologized and said there was nothing they could do. Offered us a 20% discount off 1 day. Never actually gave us the refund even though they stated they would. 2 things you should get when staying at a hotel a safe place to sleep and a place to clean such as a shower. I called a few days after our stay to get a refund and they still haven’t responded back. It’s been 10 days.
