Nice one night stop
Palm Springs was more like a stop in our trip from San Diego to Las Vegas but we've been nicely surprised! Every Thursdays they close the main street and have a fair with local artisans and fresh fruits, dancers, musicians, jewels and so on. So we enjoyed the pool from the hotel and went there at night! The hotel was common, nothing to complain about, nothing outstanding either.. They never check if people respect the closing time for the pool though (obnoxious, drunk people until 1 or 2am...)

If you have a chance to have breakfast at Pinocchio's, please DO! It's a great place with very good coffee. Another nice place is a mexican restaurant on S Palm canyon st (Las Casuelas I think)

Great Value
Most comfortable beds. Very clean. Only wish the shower curtain did not smell. Find that to be true in the higher priced hotels as well.

A good deal!
pros: nice pool and jacuzzi nice garden area for lounging clean and tidy rooms cons: -this hotel is off the main road so you hear the traffic in the rooms -the walls are thin, you can hear when the room next door uses water or if they are talking loud -no restaurant in bar in the hotel (although it looks like there is one in progress?) -no toilet paper in lobby bathroom! (they added it once i let them know) overall great place, its got cute decor, not too expensive but don't expect a quiet night of sleep

Confussed
First visit to Palm Springs
It was my first time at Palm Springs but I liked the location of the hotel because it central to everything. Pool was clean and for the most part fun. The room was cool when we got in and the staff was nice.
