Our Palm Springs hotel is close to golf courses and tennis courts, one block from the Botanical Garden, one mile from Downtown Palm Springs and 20 miles from the great outlet stores of Cabazon. In the morning, enjoy your complimentary continental breakfast. Relax in our heated swimming pool and spa or simply lounge on the deck under our poolside mist cooling system. Tours and groups are always welcome.

The world's most famous desert resort, Palms Springs, has something for everybody. And our Palm Springs hotel is minutes of it all. Play on one of the 90 golf courses and 300 tennis courts. Go hiking and horseback riding in the beautiful desert wilderness, or bike trough miles of beautiful trails. Ride the tram to the top of Mt. San Jacinto. Or just lie by the pool and get a tan - a very popular activity. Palm Springs and Vagabond Inn are both designed with leisure in mind.

But after a day of relaxation and sun worship, it's likely you'll want to get out and sample the nightlife. And you won't be disappointed. This sophisticated, affordable community offers a vast selection of dining, nightclubs and entertainment opportunities to suit every taste. And the shopping is fantastic, with boutiques, department stores and marketplaces to suit every budget. So go ahead, enjoy!

Dining

Sherman's Deli and Bakery
Why eat bread when you can eat a latke? Sherman's Deli uses a potato pancake instead of bread in their fabulous pastrami sandwich.
The Falls Steakhouse and Martini Bar
Delicious steak, desert romance, and martinis all under one roof.
Elmer's
Once you try a bite of Elmer's Potato Pancakes, cripy on the outside and steamy in the middle, you will agree that this is one of the best family dining experiences in Palm Springs!
Palm Springs Aerial Tram
Spectacular views combined with delectable food provide the perfect dining experience. There are two dining options at the top of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Peaks, a fine dining experience with a breathtaking view of the Coachella Valley and Pines Café, a cafeteria-style restaurant. Both restaurants are open for lunch and dinner.
Hamburger Mary's
Hamburger Mary's is an "open-air bar and grille for open-minded people" where you can count on great food and a fun atmosphere.

Its okay for the price

It was an okay hotel for the price. Definitely NOT a good place for teenagers or young adults. Our room was hidden in a small corner with no view whatsoever. The room was not very clean. NO flat screen TVs. Most of the rooms were under construction. Only the breakfast was good. Not staying here next time.

Short Get Away

Front desk service excellent. Housekeeping abysmal. On the two full days I was at the hotel my room had not been made up by mid afternoon when I returned from hiking needing a shower and a little rest. Impossible when one doesn't know at what moment the maid might arrive.When I complained I was told that I had to "order," a morning maid service if I wanted my room done before lunch. A notice in the room about this should have been posted.. Many large water toys were in the pool most of the time and were flung about with great abandon by the children. It is the parents' job to look after their children, but the hotel should not provide these items unless there is a lifeguard available to prevent the inevitable accidents. Nice touch was a small lending "library," in the lobby. Fridge and microwave worked perfectly.

Good for Dogs, Kids, & OK for Mom

It isn't fancy or updated, but it has just the basic(dogs allowed/pool/hot tub/coffee maker/check out noon/breakfast included with waffle maker!). Tinto Restaurant, (Chef Jose Garces fr Chopped) is across the street. The Aerial Tram is great for kids & adults, & the busy strip is close but the far enough that noise is minimal.

great week

glad we found this place, will return. Nothing special, just good place to stay. Need to upgrade some tv's and wireless service does not work with Android systems, Though they have a computer in the office to use, which was helpful. Great pool area, huge with lots of chairs.

So-so motel, but a great room

The motel is nothing special, but the room (#141) was perfect. I was with 3 other people (in other rooms) and we were there to celebrate our friend's 40th bday. As it turns out, my room (in the back corner on the ground floor) opened onto a secluded grassy area with lots of trees, and there was an outdoor table there with 4 chairs. It was a pleasant place for the 4 of us to congregate before and after we had dinner. Very nice, actually.

Room was a little over scented but well kept. Breakfast was standard fare, presented well and was kept fresh and replenished.
