8.0 out of 10, Very good, (1 review)
"It was a nice basic place, cement floors made it seem 'bare bones', but it was furnished with tables, chairs, bed, couch, well equipped kitchenette. I loved the skylight in the shower! Plenty of towels for 3 ladies and hair dryer included. It was the first fold out couch I ever slept in that was actually comfortable.

Palm Mountain Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"First time to this resort in Palm Springs. We were looking to come up from San Diego for a little more heat and a mini semi staycation. I was very impressed with the Palm Mountain Resort and Spa. Love the dog friendly environment, staff, very comfortable room by a nice pool. My favorite is the location to beautiful downtown Palm Springs! Made it to easy to eat, shop, drink, and be merry! Great place and thank you for a 2 day slice of vacation!!"
