Paradise in the desert

A fantastic little motel, it is an oasis within an oasis. The rooms are great, the pool area magic, breakfast more than acceptable for the climate. The woman on reception, whose name I have forgotten was really amazing, incredibly friendly and welcoming, she alone was worth the stay, but pool area was where the real joy is, having breakfast watching butterflies and hummingbirds flying around.

Charming old Palm Springs

The building was older than I thought when we first arrived, but it has a charm about it that really grows on you! The staff was very attentive and the bed was the best ever! It was small and quiet also, all pluses. There were amenities in the room and there was nothing that we were missing. I would stay there again for a short stay.

I was pleasantly surprised with our stay at Hotel California. The staff accommodated our late check-in right around 9pm with ease and our 'little late' check-out around 11. The staff is SUPER friendly. The complimentary snacks are phenomenal and the coffee is the community room is the best that I have had so far. I would highly recommend this property while in Palm Springs.

The office staff was very friendly and helpful! We really enjoyed our stay here and the ambience of the pool area and patio. It was also nice to be provided with snacks and drinks in our room. The only suggestion I would have would be to invest in new bath towels and patio lounge chairs. Thank you for a relaxing few days!
