Top Palm Desert Hotel Reviews

Hotel Paseo, Autograph Collection by Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel"

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Palm Desert Coachella Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable stay, but a small detail missed! We had a really nice stay overall with no major complaints. The beds were very comfortable, and the bathroom was a great size, offering plenty of room to move around. My only minor critique is that I wish they provided liquid hand soap instead of the traditional small bars. The little bars of soap tended to stick to the soap dish and break apart into little pieces. Aside from that, it was a pleasant stay and we would be happy to return!"

Courtyard by Marriott Palm Desert

10/10 Excellent

"I want to compliment the front desk staff, Callie, when we checked in on Sunday. She provided excellent customer service that I have not experienced in a long time. We arrived early, but Callie was able to accommodate my request for an early check-in. During the wait, she recommended places to shop and eat, along with directions, while we waited for the room to be prepared; she offered to store our luggage and took our phone number to call us as soon as the room became available. On our return, she offered us goodie bags because of the overhead construction. We were so tired that we didn't hear anything. The guy who worked Sunday was great as well. I failed to get his name. It was extremely hot that day, but your staff made the trip enjoyable."

Marriott's Desert Springs Villas I

8/10 Good

"We rented the two bedroom Villa plenty of space for the family. Our only complaint would be in the master bedroom our air conditioner/heater vent was either blocked or something else was wrong. Our bedroom never really got down below 78 which for many people that would be ok but for my wife it was not that comfortable and I had to listen to complain at night."
