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.
When we first checked in totally helped us out cuz I had the month wrong. The whole staff was excellent!! The property was clean and very beautiful if you like nature like we do. Going to stay there again for sure!
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.
Great boutique hotel & excellent service from front desk. Pool area is gorgeous and fun guests! Would stay here again any day! Bikes are available to use!
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!
