Though built a long time ago (1940's) the hotel has been well updated while retaining the rustic atmosphere. Everything is well-maintained and the staff is great. The location is also very convenient for checking out local attractions and restaurants.

Loved the enclosed area with a quaint courtyard and pool/hot tub area. We watched hummingbirds come during our stay to some of the flowers and bluebirds bathe in the fountain in the courtyard. It was a great location to either head up to downtown Palm Springs or out to Rancho Mirage/La Quinta areas. Relatively close to the airport without being in the flight path. Would definitely stay again.

This is definitely an older property that is very well-maintained. It is much more personable, then staying at one of the large chains.Staff is wonderful and accommodating. They do the little things. Thanks again!
