Special shout out- I was in a hurry and needed laundry and the host let me in the laundry room a little early to help me in a pinch to get my clothes cleaned before having to keep traveling. That was next level service. Also, the kitchen staff ladies allowed my wife and I to eat and even get an extra biscuit and extra bacon that was already put away. We arrived at 10:03am but the two ladies were so sweet and gracious to us. Muy fantastico. ##### Jeffrey Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Garrett Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice, clean hotel that's walking distant to food & activities ##### Garrett Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Two Bunch Palms Spa Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Two-Bunch-Palms-Spa-Resort-Adults-Only.h1338988.Hotel-Information) > - [ The Westin Mission Hills Resort & Villas for COACHELLA 2020 (1st weekend)](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Cochella-Stay-At-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Resort-Villas.h34078793.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Golf Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Golf-Resort-Palm-Springs.h351.Hotel-Information) > - [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas I](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-I.h661796.Hotel-Information) > - [Fantasy Springs Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Fantasy-Springs-Resort-Casino.h1138282.Hotel-Information) > - [SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-SeaCrest-OceanFront-Hotel.h1365352.Hotel-Information) > - [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > - [Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Indian Wells](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Renaissance-Esmeralda-Resort-Spa.h12274.Hotel-Information) > - [Marriott's Shadow Ridge II- The Enclaves](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge-II-The-Enclaves.h902047.Hotel-Information) > - [V Capri Palm Springs, a Dolce by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-V-Capri-Palm-Springs.h13065796.Hotel-Information) > - [Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Omni-Rancho-Las-Palmas-Resort-Spa.h1703.Hotel-Information) > - [Embassy Suites by Hilton Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Palm-Desert.h10190.Hotel-Information) > - [The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton-Bacara.h523758.Hotel-Information) > - [Residence Inn By Marriott Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Palm-Desert.h201084.Hotel-Information) > - [Desert Breezes Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Desert-Breezes-Resort.h18709.Hotel-Information) > - [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > - [The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h23876.Hotel-Information) > - [Best Western Plus Palm Desert Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Palm-Desert-Resort.h890044.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > - [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas II](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-II.h57218.Hotel-Information) > - [Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Miramonte-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16768.Hotel-Information) > - [Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Agua-Caliente-Resort-Casino-Spa-Rancho-Mirage.h2020169.Hotel-Information) > - [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > - [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > - [Indian Wells Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Indian-Wells-Resort-Hotel.h14026.Hotel-Information) > - [The Sandman Santa Rosa Sonoma, an Ascend Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Rosa-Hotels-The-Sandman.h919721.Hotel-Information) > - [Sea Mountain Inn Nude Resort and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Sea-Mountain-Inn-Nude-Resort-Adults-Only.h27490625.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Embarc-Palm-Desert.h328421.Hotel-Information) > - [The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Golf-Resort-Spa.h4124.Hotel-Information)
