Very quaint and clean. Easy walk down to shopping and restaurants. Nice pool area. Check in is a bit strange without a front desk or ability to drop off bags if you arrive early but the guy across the street at Orbit Inn looked after us. My friend had suite 1 which was remodeled and beautiful. I had room 8 which needs a refresh.

Cute stay in Palm Springs! Nice pool and apartments with big comfy bed. Parking is free and right outside and the property is within a coded gate so feels very safe. Location was perfect too

Beautiful spot up against the mountains, surrounded by Palm trees. Sounds of the birds were delightful. So many Hummingbirds early in the morning. Extremely clean, comfortable efficiency room. Easy access to the sites. Gondola ride and Architectural tour were highlights.

Great charming place, We are already planning a return visit. It felt like we stepped back in time to the 60's in a good way. Would highly recommend. Wish the air temperature would have been warmer, the pool looked so inviting.
