I loved our stay. It was nice to stay in a place that was unique. Staff was awesome. Hot tub was great. My only complaint was the landscaper blew the leaves and degree into the pool and by our room. Lucky we noticed and shut the door. Communication was needed with that. We loved our upgrade. VIP is awesome!

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.

Trip

As a retired general contractor I did maintenance for hotels and residences, old habits die hard, when walk on a site I look for things that need to be repaired, I looked over Hotel California during our stay. Site was spotlessly clean, landscape well taken care of, unit my wife and I stayed in was perfect, clean and in good shape, my wife is very picky and she was happy. Linda was the onsite Manager and she was great,got the site tour, and answered our questions. Was always available.

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.
