Hilton Vacation Club Palm Canyon Palm Springs

Hilton Vacation Club Palm Canyon Palm Springs

8/10 Good
"Good location for Palm Springs. Had a good stay. Great pool area that is big, attractive and has a good atmosphere. Slide for the kids. Carlos makes great cocktails and is very friendly at the pool bar. The buildings and communal areas/corridors are a bit dated. Room (studio) was spacious and average decor for a Hilton. Bathroom dated and a bit tatty. Could do with some more amenities for resort fee (currently pool, parking, basketball court). Minimal dining on site - only a pool bar that shut at 7pm. Overall 7/10."
