Pool was perfect! Warm & clean. Neri the housekeeper was friendly & efficient. I liked that we only had Neri. Brian quickly took care of our only issue. Great location! Peaceful & beautiful small property. Expect a 60s vibe & decor.

This hotel is a hidden gem! Clean, comfortable and quiet. The view of the mountains is outstanding. Communication from the owners was excellent. We loved watching the birds at the fountain. Very easy parking and access to downtown.

Staff is very responsive, great to work with. Location is walkable to restaurants/museums/trails etc! Location cannot be beat! Ample on site parking. Very spacious one bedroom apartment. Great extras - snacks, drinks, coffee pods. Furnishings are a bit tired.

Room, location, and staff were lovely. We were disappointed that the hot tub was under construction. Also, a fire pit would be a nice addition. We recommend Desert Hills overall.

Great service

I stayed in Palm Springs for my trip to see Joshua Tree National Park. It’s a small drive to the park but cool place to stay. Great service and location. Easy walking to restaurants and shops downtown but far enough away to be quiet for sleeping. I would stay here again.
