Top California Hotel Reviews

Desert Palms Hotel & Suites

Desert Palms Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good
"We stayed here for two nights with our two kids, ages 7 and 8, in a one-bedroom suite with bunk beds. Overall, it was a decent stay with some positives and drawbacks. The location is convenient, about a 12–17 minute walk to the parks for an average walker. However, other nearby properties offer similar convenience with more spacious rooms. Our kids loved the bunk beds, and the beds were comfortable. Unfortunately, the suite felt cramped for a family of four. It was difficult for two people to move around without bumping into each other or having to step aside. The property is showing its age, and the soundproofing could be better. I could hear our neighbor snoring at night, along with pipes and water running through the walls when guests in other rooms used their showers. Light sleepers should keep this in mind. Parking was crowded, and the $31 daily fee was disappointing, especially since there is no shuttle to the parks or many other amenities. On the plus side, the included breakfast was good and practical, with plenty of seating. Service was good overall, the lobby was welcoming, and the kids’ area—with Disney movies playing 24 hours a day—was a nice touch. Overall, this hotel offers family-friendly features and a convenient location, but the cramped rooms, noise, and parking fee make it worth comparing with other nearby options before booking."
