Inconvenient location from interstate. Hard bed. Sink didn’t drain. Bathtub/shower dingy. Landscaping poorly maintained. Listing on cable hard to use (had to scroll to channel). However, it was near a very good Mexican restaurant

Quiet and comfortable room. AC worked very well without any noise. Good location, close to many eateries.

Unfriendly service. Charged extra $25 for early check in. Uncomfortable bed. Broken shower curtain.

Quiet in a good neighborhood.

They rent out to Section 8 ghettolicious types. Be prepared for weed smoking, people coming and going all night long, people sitting in their cars blasting music in the parking lot at 2AM, dangerous large dogs in rooms with their doors open. Unresponsive staff that won’t do anything to mitigate noise. Don’t Stay Here!

Located in the desirable South Palm Canyon area, overall the place was well kept exterior maintained and fairly quiet for the PS mid-century modern weekend.The room was decent, though the carpeting was worn, there were other peoples hair/pubes not vacuumed up. The toilet tank was leaking water onto the floor and then the toilet backed up my last day. Would i stay here again, yes – because of the accommodating staff and open to feedback.

Really cool room. The bed was beyond comfortable. There was no breakfast available but there are restaurants all around. We definitely enjoyed our stay and this will be our new place to stay whenever we visit Palm Springs again.

They were great at the front desk. However, there was pubic hair on the toilet and in the tub. Also, there was grime around the sink that would wipe right off. The toilet had dried brown stuff on the side of the toilet tank. Rest of the room seemed ok. Not going to stay there again.

My staying was good, the room was clean and had a fridge and microwave but the facilities including the pool area would benefit from some extra cleaning. Pool gates were not very secure, either kids or outside people from the hotel could easily have access to it.

Location

clean and quiet

Close to all so very convenient. Everything was clean and tidy. The only complaint was that we could not get the shower to get hot enough.

Comfortable beds. Nice pool area. Would stay again.

Definite value for the money. Great location for access to things like Koffi, Ace, and hiking trailhead. Dings only for: posted that the pool/spa area is open from 7 am - 11 pm but they actually didn't unlock it until 7:30-ish. (I was waiting at 7 for the spa). Also night table had cigarette burns (in a non-smoking room). Other than those minor things, it was great.

Off the downtown area, quiet. In a residential area

The room was quite large; clean and quiet. It’s not a 4 or 5 star property but for the cost and what you get this hotel is a great value.

The lobby has been refurbished and is very nice. However, I feel for the staff because the lowered light fixture above t on a corne he desk must be very hot. My room, 137, was right at the back on a corner of the ground floor. It is is a pet friendly hotel, and everyone seemed to bring their dog for it’s goodnight bathroom calll right outsie my door - especially lifting a leg on the garbage container! My room had been recently refurbished in minimalistic modern style which I like, especially the plank floor which is much better than carpet. However the bathroom, although clean, needs more work and the AC vent was uncovered. I would stay there again but wuld request a room in a different location.

I'm so sorry to hear you had issues with our Inn. We are a older hotel but do we do our best to upkeep any issues with all of our room. If we known about it we could of took care of the issues. We are sorry to hear you didn't like the landscaping as well. Hopfully you can give us another chance staying with us.
