MUST READ:What an expensive experience, the reviews do not match expectations There are much better facilities in the area that superseded Palm Canyon The room was dirty, the toilet was full of dry urine all over the toilet seat and bowl

There were lots of gnats all over the room Just discussing, there internal policy states “cleanliness” prior to departure Looks like they need to hold themselves ACCOUNTABLE to their own standards I just expected more from this resort I wouldn’t stay here again that’s for sure I think the pool is nice, staff was nice, the pool area was nice, the bar tender was AWESOME (older Spanish speaking gentleman) The slide is cool, not to mention the little kids baby side The hot tub is nice because it’s covered I think that the security and bracelets are a waste of resources and staff $$$ This organization can definitely find another way to control pool accessOverall:•Over priced•Dirty•Old•Smells•Check-out time is too early•Not worth it in the end

First of all I have 2 kids who are already tough to travel with and this place was the best! We rented out the 2 bdrm villa with a kitchen and it was absolutely perfect for us, 3 adults and 2 kids 2 beds, a pull out COMFORTABLE sofa bed, TV in every room and stocked kitchen with dishes and utensils Definitely bring your own food, beverages and seasonings, but the rest was available to us! The pool waS fun, clean, and staff were super friendly

The bar had a kitchen menu and brought food to you by the pool The bartender pours generously and drinks are delicious By far our best family vacation spot so far!

Elizabeth O’Hara

Please don’t stay here The negative reviews are accurate We are fairly low maintenance and keep to ourselves, but the basics requirements are not met here

After a weird/rude interaction at the front desk, we arrived to a dirty room, moldy smelling carpet, and torn up outdoor furniture After more weird/rude communication with staff (no one looked me in the eye and no one apologized for the state of the room) we were moved to a different room by “security” that didn’t smell so bad and wasn’t falling apart, but was still so dated and dirty The front desk person said all the rooms are like this I asked “security” if he is often changing rooms for guests and he said yes It was all so weird and uncomfortable The only food option is a pool side hut This is just a run down motel at resort prices The pool is fine but doesn’t outweigh the other bad stuff Please don’t stay here

I loved everything about this resort!!! First off all of the staff are amazing They are so helpful and just so there to please and make their guest happy The rooms are so spacious, bright, clean

I love large bathrooms and this one had a shower and a tub!!! Our room had a good size balcony that was perfectly set with in the resort The pool is so clean with a walk up bar, but no need for that, there was a waiter’s and waitress that could bring you drinks and food to you by the pool We also had dinner and breakfast at their restaurant We basically ordered one of everything on the menu and we were not disappointed at all

Terence Brashear

I was skeptical of visiting Palm Springs in June due to the heat, but Margaritaville made it fun We stayed for 5 days, and enjoyed every one of them The large pool area has plenty of space and shade

The staff was exceptional in their attentiveness The roomExtremely comfortable beds, with a nicely laid out bathroom Walking distance to great dining, but the restaurants in the hotel were nice as well I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family

Suzy Keidel

Second visit Amazing facials upon our arrival Great location and food did not disappoint

Like the $3 poolside beers Service was great inside however a little inconsistent at the pool bar today It was nice having live music at the pool Pool ran out of towels so when we arrived in the afternoon we had to wait a while until fresh towels were brought out When showering for dinner it seemed like hot water was in short supply Still a good find for sure

We had a lovely stay here The rooms were beautiful the hotel was fantastic

And it was peaceful and quiet Jonathan at the front desk was very helpful when we had a problem with our reservation He deserves a raise I think we need to become a Hilton honors client as we always love the service The chocolate chip cookies are an excellent touch

Allison C

45 stars! The front desk service was amazing Jonathan was so helpful when I asked to change rooms due to the very loud guests in the room next door (not the hotel’s fault)

He was accommodating and moved me to a room on the same floor but graciously not next to anybody The whole hotel was clean, modern, good shower water pressure, big TVs in the rooms I’m knocking down a star because although the pool area was gorgeous (clean, comfy lounge chairs, a dozen umbrellas), I did not like the extremely loud music played there every day On my last day, it began at 10am so I couldn’t even enjoy a peaceful morning reading It was Fourth of July weekend so maybe that’s why I would come again at a quieter time! FYI breakfast is not included and there is a $20 resort fee daily

Chris S

I stayed for work, and had the time to golf a couple days as well Really enjoyed the convince of the course being right thereI did have to change rooms after my first night when the temp couldn’t get to a comfortable level

I have to assume that the doors aren’t sealed well and more and leak hot in It was windy the entire time of my stay, and you could hear the whistling in the door all night Kinda annoyingI ate at the bar on site once and the burger I had was great Ate at the club house too and have no compliance their eitherAll in all it’s a great place to stayFYI, if you have little ones that want to swim the pools pretty deep most of the way around

Kelsey Venable

Had an amazing weekend there with my husband & two year old Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming The pool area was amazing

Bed was very comfortable Only complaint is that our room was pretty dark – thought we were getting a balcony room (but we got one with a living area, which was nice too) Just wish we had a bit more natural light Will definitely visit again!

Jovita Holman

The hotel was super elegant, clean, friendly staff ( especially Alex M), the pool was clean, the room was very neat and smells so good we really enjoyed the cold ice water in the lobby The hot meal breakfast was fantastic

The bacon was super yummy, the french toast and the syrup was perfect not even sweet The waitress was so hospitable Super love the atmosphere in this hotel Inside the Elevator and the hallways was quite too hot, other than that I highly recommend this hotel

Jason Martin

Loved it here! You couldn’t ask for a better a better location The view from my room was unbelievable and the room was awesome as well I spent a week at the hotel for a conference and had a great time not only in the beautiful facility but also getting to meet much of the staff

Gordie at the concierge desk and Juan in facilities put a smile on my face every day and we’re nothing but a pleasure to talk withEverybody at the front desk always had a smile on their face and and you could tell that they all got along and enjoyed working together which says something about management and the facility

Pamela Olesen

Staff were nice My first room wreaked of cigarettes and they changed my room promptlyRoom was nice

I liked the layout with the extra vanity space I was on the ground floor with a patio door facing the pool area I would have liked to sit outside on the patio but the furniture was stained and I didn’t want to sit on the chairsThe room appeared it hadn’t been cleaned in a while, dust covering most surfaces A/C was cold and room was comfortable enough Good location for downtownOn-site parking was extraweird especially since it was self-park I parked on the street at no charge For the price, I would have expected a bit “more”

Cade Post

This way a very good experience that could have been very bad For some reason, only part of our reservation went through for a conference we were having We found the conference rooms we booked, but not the actual hotel rooms weren’t found

I have to give the biggest shout out to Mark!!! He made sure to be caring and attentive in the midst of the chaos We weren’t able to get the 2 rooms we originally thought we were getting; however, we did at least get one room that Mark was so gracious to accommodate us with!Side Note: Jorge was also very helpful in assisting us with the seminar room set up! We all banded together and got it cleaned and set up properly before our clients showed upAll in all, it was a very good experience Thank you for maintaining professional and courteousness in the midst of how mean the world has been the past 2 years It hasn’t gone unnoticed Blessings on you and all your staff!

Andrea K

We were passing through from WA to AZ – I’m giving 2 stars and not one because we are able to get a room last minute We are traveling with small childrenDownsides:-Parking is $17 a day and a good spot that is close is hard to come by

-I don’t like finding human hair in hotel rooms, or fingernails Cleanliness could be improved-We had to sign a waiver that this was a pet friendly hotel This information was not readily available when we made our reservations The hallway to our room smelled like pee and there was many uncleaned pee spots Luckily our room smelled okay-The pool closes at 9:30 We love to go to the pool late in the evening for a quick swim with my boys This certainly felt like the were trying to keep the partying to a minimum-“Last call” at the hotel bars was also extremely early, earlier than the pool closed I think It seemed like they were trying to squash the party scene – which is fine by me (tired mom) but ppl just go back to their room and are loud

We had a wonderful time here and will be coming back! 3 pool options with plenty of lounge chairs, staff was very friendly and welcoming Live music at the lounge on the weekends and great food options at a fair price We also brought our dog which we weren’t sure what to expect, staff was so nice to our pup and made us feel really comfortable during our stay! Rooms were nice and bed was comfortable

Fabulous spa- highly recommend the facials! I was pleasantly impressed with my stay here and will definitely be coming back!

Ciara Delaney

Rooms are clean and the bed is VERY comfortable Price was GREAT for off seasonOur children LOVED the water slide!! And they let 42″ and above so my fully swimming 5yo was able to go on it!! He was SO EXCITED

I think my children went on down the water slides 100+ times(They didn’t let him at the Shadow Ridge Marriott because it’s 48″ even though he is an excellent swimmer)

Tania Sierra

The place is beautiful The rooms are spacious and comfortable The staff were very friendly and accommodating

But for such a fancy and expensive resort, I expected better amenities in the room The coffee machine is old, it took forever to brew one cup and then you had to wait 30 mins to brew another one There was no microwave The ice machine in our building didn’t work Some of the outlets didn’t work and the ones that did work were loose and wouldn’t hold on to my phone charger And no housekeeping services were offered

Walter Hagar

My husband and I just returned from a fantastic 5-night stay at The Hacienda and we are still glowing! The staff is unparalleled… extremely warm and welcoming and their attention to detail is exceptional! Our favorite amenities, aside from the gorgeous views, were the continental breakfast and catered lunches that were included The orchestration of both meals was done so professionally and eating poolside just outside of our suite felt like a real luxury We can’t wait to return!

Emerson Aniceto

Essentially: the price is high for what is offered We stayed in the most expensive room for two nights and the cheapest room for one night and we had the same issues in both roomsPositives: The pools and the food are lovely, fresh, and well presented

The housekeeping staff made us feel like family The lunch is lovely and served on porcelain, the iced tea is amazing, the breakfast is continental and well presented There is a pillow menu The bedding is high quality and there is daily housekeeping The towels poolside are huge and in general there are nice towels everywhere The l’occitane bath products are a nice touchNegatives: The bathrooms in the rooms need attention and there are there is an obvious need for renovation The sinks in both bathrooms were slow to the point that they filled up if left on The shower in the patio room was so slow that it filled up the basin in under a minute The grout in the shower basin tiles in both rooms was almost non-existent Our shower in the patio room had an electrical charge in the the fixtures and when we brought it up we were treated by the on-site staff like ancient-alien-spotting conspiracy theorists The TV remotes for the TV’s in each room didn’t work and the staff fixed them but it was surprising that all three tv’s needed to have the remotes fixed/replaced with the manufacturers remotes before we could use them

GA F

What a treat for me and my husband! 5 stars all the way for Hacienda at Warm SandsEverything and everyone was magnificent From the incredible attention to detail to ensure you are pampered at any moment to the hyper attention to cleanliness and sanitation throughout the resort

Our suite was stocked with everything you could want From generous and varied L’Occcitane products to pillows of every kind and shape to multiple bathrobe stylesThe provided continental breakfast sitting poolside admiring the Jacinto Mountains was magical The provided lunch was tasty and variedThe pools were the perfect temperature and the chaise lounges, towels and umbrellas were first class resort qualityEveryone was also so incredibly helpful and kind Even personally icing my stumped toe one day while lounging poolside The care and personal attention unlike any Plus, the tranquility and openness allowed throughout the resort made the whole experience even more perfectBravo to the owners and team for an outstanding stay at this glorious resort!

I can’t say enough about this Hotel/Casino! From the moment we stepped out of our taxi, the customer service was impeccable! The staff really go above and beyond to make you feel welcome They are pleasant, helpful and accommodating I spend a lot of time in Reno and Vegas and Palm Springs casinos are awesome! I actually hit 2 jackpot hand pays within hours of arriving, which obviously was a great start to our vacation

The Steakhouse Restaurant was amazing (highly recommend making reservations), the wait staff were on point and very attentive and the food was delicious The Ace Club is totally worth joining (no cost) but the comps and free play are some of the best I’ve seen in comparison to other casino reward programs The pool was closed the first day we arrived due to a sand storm, but the following morning the pool was clear of all sand and debris and we got to have a pool day Again, wait staff was great! Drinks and food are good (a little pricey, but that’s to be expected) I cannot wait to go back for another visit!

Kevin Hass

I did not stay at the Resort it was a stop of for a couple of hours The casino was very nice, clean and well maintained The staff I had interacted with was very professional and nice

I was on a quick business trip, and maybe some time in the future would consider a more lengthy term stay at the Resort As for now I can not give a full and complete review and that is why I gave it 4 stars on the portion I was able to encounter The location is easy to find but the entrances are a bit constricting as is some of the parking areas It did not seem overly busy so it wasn’t a big problem with that at that time I would venture a guess that the rooms and Resort in a large part is probably as good as the portion I did visit, but that would just be a guess and not a definitive thought

John N

Fantastic property! I was going to give them 5 stars however, I am a night owl and there was no place to purchase any food or snacks between 2 AM and 6 AM That was really disappointing Given the tremendously great level of service and amenities at this resort casino I was surprised

Otherwise I highly highly recommend this property The room was extremely clean, every single staff member was very polite and very helpful, the casino was fun and they have a great lineup of entertainment!

Charles Feddersen

Extremely disappointing Service hospitality NON existent, quality / value equation out of line Much better resort options

Check in line was 12 guest deep, one person trying to manage it Said no one was there to help Checked in early, room wasn’t ready, which is fine, but then instead of activating mobile key you have to go back again to get plastic key$700 a night room with windows on two sides facing parking lot – so car lights shining in all night and loud noise from parking lot and employee break area outside the door No willingness to assist or help with a move Calling service express is frustrating called a couple of times, no answer Got thru finally the folks answering were curt, unfriendly and just not niceAsked for room to be cleaned daily, didn’t happen until last day ( day four ) Room was not clean carpets old and didn’t appear clean, coffee machine that has coffee product that doesn’t fit so it overflows and spills everywhere, iron had stuff on it so it trashed the shirt No attention to details Pool bar was incredibly bad Bartenders never smiled once or used in any friendly language, actually very off putting, eating their lunch behind the bar in front of guests, cleaning supplies and materials all over the top of bar in front of guests Giving last call at 4pm when pool is packed and people are spending moneyQuiet pool had an employee walking around offering water which was really niceServer working coffee shop was super nice Server at bar clubhouse was niceExtremely hard to get ahold of anyone at Hotel or Marriott to give feedback or get assistance Feedback mechanism while at hotel and at on app is very hardChat didn’t work a couple of different times, when it did someone called me who was just not nice or even empathetic

Josh Quagliano

Traveled here a few years ago Great memories Place was well maintained and beautiful looking

The only reason this is a 4 star is because they cut access to the Westin Resort next door though but it makes quite a difference There was a game centre there and larger gym than the villas We went to Pinzimini restaurant for breakfast just about every day As far as I know, there is no breakfast place at the Villas I believe they sold the resort to another company which is obviously not in the best interest of guests here Overall, though, the villas property itself was great

Noel G.

Very nice resort We rented a pair of adjoining Villas Cost was a little less than $400/night for both suites together

It was overkill for a family of 4, but didn’t cost much more to have two full beds and two washrooms Our main Villa are equipped with a full kitchen, side Villa had a Kitchenette We also had a BBQ on our large patio There was a second patio with the side Villa The garden and pond and waterfalls were beautiful Complete with ducks The resort is beautifully decorated with feather palms, windmill palms, agave, and cactus The paradise pool, large, designed well There is a second pool for the waterslide, a third kiddie pool, a hot tub whirlpool, and a bar There is another smaller pool on the far side of the resort, it is a lot quieter It’s located right next to a golf course This is an absolutely beautiful resort, and is already on our list to return to

This is literally worth all your money! Book here ASAP! Great living room, giant modern TVs, a full kitchen with everything (plates, mugs, utensils, and can openers etc) a private room and walk-in closet included too! Entire room is spacious and nice Wonderful staff, except no elevator was functional and was the old ones, had to carry luggage up the stairs

More pros than con

Tammy Julian

I had reservations and was never told that I needed a deposit My purse was stole right before our trip and I didn’t have my credit card so I couldn’t pay a deposit I was turned away after driving a couple hours to get there

Fortunately my best friend lent me the money and we got our room It was very nice perfect for our stay My only suggestion is inform everyone there will be a deposit and how hot its going to be during the summer Also be aware that they (house keeping) will enter your room if your not there and don’t answer the door

Miki Claire

Terrible service, had to call for housekeeping 4 times before they sent someone Pool towels flimsy, could be a better pool with better food options, fitness center hours were not listed on the amenities sheet and were not communicated during check-in The fitness center doesn’t open til 9 so I didn’t get to use it, but I did peek in there and it wasn’t good—very limited

It looked like they tried to do some updates but it was very sloppy workmanship

Tuncer Deniz

This is not a five star resort We travel a ton and have stayed at my high end hotels and the Ritz is sub-par at best First, the room was tiny and old and very cramped

The rooms need major renovation We were paying well over $1000 a night and it simply isn’t worth itBoth pools were extremely crowed and at times the service was extremely slow The staff were great but simply understaffed for peak timesThe food was good but not great The main steak restaurant was closed during our stayAnd finally, after spending a week at this resort and having a $14,000 bill, the front desk argued with me that our breakfast was past the 11 AM cut off (our package had breakfast included) and charged us for lunch and only gave us credit for a few breakfasts instead of all of themOverall we were extremely disappointed with this “category 7” resort Won’t be back

Tammy Postajian

Do not bother staying at this broken down hotel called the Ritz Carlton Make sure you read the reviews You will see how run down this hotel is

The rates are $750 plus and if you use points, you will still need to spend a $1000 out of pocket Which would have been fine if it was worth it The rooms are falling apart The showers hardly work while water leaks onto the floors Toilets don’t flush No electrical outlets for new iPhones Menus are ancient with not modern choices A/C sounds like a plane is landing in your room You will also have to walk a mile to the pool You will not get any peace and quiet here Manager was alerted and moved us to another location directly in front of their club which serves food and drinks This was his was of accommodating and we just gave up at this point After our stay, he tried to accommodate us with partial points! Another insult The boutique hotels charge the same but customer service blows any 5 star hotel away I will never step foot at this hotel again The manager replied to my review on another site saying she wants to reach out to me and when I responded she never replied Please do not waste your money here There are plenty of other hotels in the area that are 20 times better than this place

Jett Anderson

Facility was fine; room was fine; food was fine; service was okay The premium restaurant was closed (apparently throughout COVID, although that wasn’t indicated on the website)

I reserved a month out and foolishly assumed based upon the brand, the location and the price ($839 for bed & breakfast) that this was a luxury resort It wasn’t It was a nice, family-oriented resort It would be fine in the $300 to $400 range So I would neither recommend nor returnBelow–The menu was on laser-printer paper

Staff is super friendly and accommodating However, the hotel itself is just not worth the price Mandatory valet required me to watch someone drive my car ~20 steps to a parking spot and then wait (although not long) to have it retrieved

Photos online were very generous and set expectations a little too high based on the property itself I’ll admit part of this was due to covid limitations and lack of full amenities like the hot tub not turned on and the on-site restaurant being closed, but prices should take these limitations into accountDog friendly, which is nice but as previous reviews state, your dog must be with you at all times This is pretty standard and they have a list of dog-friendly restaurants in the area that they provide to you, which was a nice touchThe folio at the end of the trip was a little convoluted For each day there were 15 line items (no food/drink/etc were billed to the room) including repeat taxes & assessments listed 3 separate times each day with varying amounts This may be a city/county issue and not specific to this hotel but should be addressedLocation was good, staff were excellent, just overpriced for what it is

The building and room are not up to the standards one expects from Marriott and for the price you pay However the staff were delightful and wonderful to talk with Also free street parking nearby

The hotel itself has undergone a lot of renovations to get where it is but it has a long way to go Our shower door didn’t close all the way meaning our floor was always wet Walls are very thin and you can hear everything going on outside and in the rooms adjacent including barking dogs Our bathroom smelled like sewer gas when the air came on And our bedding was even dirty when we first got into our room We really wanted to like this place for the historic value of the buildings and the site but for the price it is very much not worth it There are a lot of other hotels nearby that are cleaner and don’t look like a flip gone awry

Nice little hotel Two swimming pools both small and clean and saltwater The rooms are clean and nice, with big comfy beds

The main problem for me was the bathroom – the shower head is pretty basic with no power and sufficient spray The toilet doesn’t have sufficient suction to completely flush on the first try🙁 The staff is excellent, kind and friendly The price is also an excellent value

Old building so you can hear everything – I woke up a lot through the night Great pool area but lounge chairs fill up quickly No wifi entire stay – complained to the desk numerous times and it was never resolved

They never told us we needed to request linen servicing the night before so our beds were never made/sheets were never changed Breakfast was laughable – moldy clementines, cheap packaged baked goods, and granola bars For the price, there have to be better hotels in Palm Springs – look elsewhere

The junior suite was so beautiful and elegant when I say I fell in love with this hotel and spa wow I’ll be coming back again and again the pool was so cute and I love that it’s open 24 hours I really enjoyed my birthday here and I’m so glad I chose Andreas hotel and spa Everything was so clean

Greatest location 👍🏻 on HWY 111No kids allowed 21+Best Piña Coladas by the poolPool could be colder, but it IS palm springs after all We have stayed in a different room every time, but by far the fave is 225 If you can sleep through street noise you’ll do just fine!

We just celebrated our wedding weekend here and in summary everything was what we needed it to be, and the Ace over-delivered on our expectationsWe had stayed at the hotel a few times during covid – and like all businesses in the service industry they struggled with a few things, but it was never a regret that we stayed thereThe events staff leading up to our fully vegan wedding were super responsive

Shout out to Cassie and Nichole for all that they handled for us The staff at the hotel during our stay and for all our events were friendly, efficient and paid extra attention to our guests Liz who was at all our events did a great job Add our vegan tacos to your pool menu, our guests are still raving about them! The chefs did a fantastic job with the wedding catering, even a fully vegan menu for us Everyone kept asking where the catering was from – we told them the hotel!The hotel rooms are quirky, if you’re expecting drab corporate luxury, then stay elsewhere They have character and that is what makes the Ace hotel a unique and fun place to staySpring for a room with a patio fireplace, you won’t regret it!

ACE hotel basically reads as a renovated motel with good marketing Hotel is fine, but definitely overpriced for what it is Our 2 bed room was quite small for the $600+ we paid for one night

The design screams 2010 hipster, and can easily look dated As mentioned before, it gives off slightly dingy motel vibes but I will say the beds were comfy and the bathroom was more chic than the rest of the placeThe pool is a nice add on… pretty big and I like that it’s open late Night vibes were very different and chill compared to daytime Crowds are expected, so come early if you want a spot The pool didn’t feel very clean tho as I saw lots of debris and dead bugs floating around, and the floor is pretty dirty with rust marks and random stains We didn’t bother getting drinks there bc it was bound to be expensive considering how the rooms are priced

Lukas White

Competes for best hotel I’ve stayed at (even ignoring price) Fell into this hotel at the last minute when another hotel (Sonder) catastrophically effed up upon checking in The Ace Hotel has kind and helpful staff, a great atmosphere for the boutique traveler, plenty of amenities

The rooms were nice The character of the hotel is relevant and well thought out Restaurant and cafe are great to chill and work out of There’s upscale bar lounge if you want to get away from the light For quick trips I’m not looking to empty my wallet on expensive hotels but for paying a bit more than usual I found here you definitely get what you pay for And did I say an automatic 12pm checkout?

As someone who has never written a Google review, I couldn’t wait to get back home and write this one about our stay at La Maison La Maison is an oasis within the oasis that is Palm Springs Yes, the room was clean and sure, the bed was comfortable

Those things are great, but don’t alone make for a memorable experience The property is well kept, with flowers, greenery, a wonderful pool and hot tub, all of which wreak of peace and relaxationThat alone is enough for a great stay, but what makes La Maison truly special is the manager, Alfredo Alfredo was just born to do this; he has the innate ability to constantly worry about every detail of the day to day operation while simultaneously making every guest feel special; kind of like a friend you haven’t seen in a long time who happens to live in Palm Springs, knows everything about it and what to do there, and invited you to stay at his really laid back B and B The continental breakfast was a great start to each day there, not just for the fresh grapefruit and delicious coffee, but also just to sit outside, relax and get ready to start another day, far away from the real world I simply can’t imagine a better place to stay if you are planning to visit Palm Springs

Greg Hayes

The staff is amazingly accommodating and friendly The rooms are clean with an almost old world charm The bed was very comfortable

It feels more like staying at a relatives estate in the south of France than a hotel Super close to downtown and all of the shopping and restaurants One of the best boutique hotels I have ever visited

Kel Lubaton

La Maison is a place to be in Palm Springs Very comfortable bed with lots of pillows The bathroom was clean and spacious

Breakfast is an attraction here, especially Miss Blanca’s coffee Alfredo, the concierge, very friendly and accommodating And of course Alex toured us around the property very well and appropriately All in all, I recommend the staff for hospitality You really made us feel welcome at “La Maison” merci Les gars! – Mikel and Rex

People rave about the staff here, and we have to agree, wonderful staff We had a nice room that we were very happy with The day we were leaving, I ordered room service, breakfast

Excluding tip, the breakfast came to over $100 Instead of a nice breakfast that we could enjoy, it came in boxes with plastic cutlery It was like camping The food was impossible to eat because you couldn’t cut anything with the cheap plastic cutlery Instead of a nice pot of coffee that you could keep warm, the coffee came in paper cups Not only is this tremendously wasteful, it is not room service, it’s take-out Also, there was no place for both of us to eat My husband had to bring in a seat table from the patio If you want a hotel room that you can relax in and have room service, this is not the place

Laura Lyons

Worth it for the pool alone!I can’t think of one negative about this hotel From when we walked into the lobby to when we checked out, everything was great The room was spacious, clean and up to date and the location in the heart of Palm Springs can’t be beat

The rooftop pool is the best part, with amazing views, friendly people and great cocktails The cold brew at Juniper is a must try

Chantal Partenza

A great stay, excellent service, and courteous team More importantly, HONEST STAFF! I left behind in my room a Chanel perfume and body cream Once I arrived home, I’ve called the hotel manager and he immediately reached out to the room service team and my items were found

Alicia the individual who did our room returned my items She could easily just keep the products but instead she returned them Permit me thank you and express my gratitude to you Alicia and Mauro A very delighted customer

Experience was great right from arrival, haha The place is architecturally beautiful, and staff are friendly and helpful Our patio suite was great, very spacious, but definitely open concept so maybe a bit much for a conservative type

It could use a bit more of a defined/ luggage-friendly setup We didn’t use the car parking but it looked like there were plenty of spaces Food and drinks were great but they’re launching a new menu as we’re here so hopefully we get to try that, it looks tasty! Would love to come back during a bit busier season and see what that’s like

Adam Barnes

This place was the absolute highlight of our two week trip across California From start to finish, it was a perfect experience – and the most fantastic place to chill for a few days The rooms were spacious, had great a/c, and were well stocked with products, and the mini bar was pretty reasonably priced

The staff were all so lovely, and went above and beyond regularly to make our stay as enjoyable as possible We could have sat by that pool for a week! The ice cream shop and cafe next door is an absolute must visit too

Hector Aguayo

My girlfriend and I had a great experience Relaxed vibe Great design- hip and luxurious boutique with a minimalist approach

We will definitely come back Nothing bad to say about this place Pool service was amazing Free bike rental was convenient Food was actually very good Recommended breakfast burrito and taro chips and guac Im trying to think of any cons but I can’t During the week is the best time to stay
