Room needed a paint touchup in places . Gave the appearance of lack of attention Could not get hot water out of sink Nice touch with room snacks and beverages, afternoon popcorn, kitchen set up. Missed having plain oj for juice choice. Consider lactose free milk and gluten free options upon request. FYI Trader Joe’s has great gluten free muffins, could be in freezer and taken out night before upon guest request. Add just bread for toast option. Could hear muffled talking sounds from room to east. We were in room 9. Staff was friendly and extremely helpful.

We found the breakfast more than adequate and enjoyed being able to sit by the pool with our morning coffee. The manager, Mark, who welcomed us, was extremely helpful showing my tech non-savvy husband how the very large TV worked and bringing round hot popcorn a short while later. The room was spotless and very comfortable with a great walk in shower.

The room was clean and well-appointed. Mike at check-in was efficient and friendly. Throughout our stay, the front desk staff (Mike, another young man, and Linda) were friendly, helpful and responsive (explaining heat and fan controls, providing casual restaurant recommendations, providing map of Palm Springs and the area, etc.). Good coffee, hardboiled eggs, muffins, yogurt, cereal, milk for continental breakfast. Smaller classic hotel centered around attractive courtyard and small pool.

Their customer service was excellent. The staff did a great job of alerting guests to eateries open on Thanksgiving. The property on the whole was nice. With that said, my room (#2) needed a lot of TLC. And to add insult to injury, the TV mysteriously lost its signal from the hours of 1am - 6am. Hmmm.
