Perfect Pool Oasis

The heated pool was a fantastic escape during the hot Palm Springs weather. I loved how large and well-maintained it was, allowing for plenty of space to swim and relax with friends.

Unique Room Charm

Staying in a garden view room, I was delighted by the decorative 60s tiki-themed elements. The charming decor and cozy ambiance made our nights feel special and unique.

This hotel surprised me with its spacious rooms and clean environment. The pool area created a relaxing escape and the on-site dining options added convenience. However, I felt breakfast could be improved, and parking was a bit chaotic. Overall, great stay for the value!
