Loved my stay. Was a windy chilly night but, the pool was heated and the jacuzzi was nice and hot. The room was clean, fancy new toilets, mini kitchen with dish ware and cutlery, a coffee maker with good coffee and name brand creamer, the bed was plush and the bedding was nice. Perfect location away from traffic. Will be coming back.

Where to start with this fantastic place? Top-notch boutique hotel near downtown Palm Springs. The room was incredible, and communication with management was excellent. The cleaning crew and Mr. Maintenance (I forgot his name) were always very attentive. Five stars all around; we will stay here again and again.

Pleased with location and also the check in/out process worked real well. We only needed 1 night. The only complaint is the pool is small and there were a group of many young adults that stayed in the whole day we were there and were drinking quite a bit. We never got to use pool. The next morning there were beer cans all over the place. This is the only problem I can see about facility being staffless.

A top notch choice for the smart traveler. Small, 11 room property with no office on site. Check in with codes emailed. The grounds are spotless and very well maintained. All the rooms are very spacious. All the guests we encountered were friendly. There were 4 dogs on property, including mine and it was all so friendly. We can't wait to return again. And again.

It has modern decor and high tech features including a bidet with great setting choices. There is no front desk. Once you register yourself as a guest you are sent a code for the front gate and your room and you're all set. We would stay again when in Palm Springs.

The hotel is fabulous with a great history. The room was spotless, the amenities were amazing and the toto toilet was an absolute treat. The courtyard area is beautiful with a lovely, heated pool, relaxing spa and great lounge chairs with plenty of towels. We loved having a little patio off of our room.
