There was music playing loudly near the pool every morning by 8am including the morning after the daylight savings time change when people wanted to sleep in. There aren’t any black out curtains either. We’ve stayed here before but we didn’t enjoy our stay this time. It felt more like motel 6 this time.

Great location

Amazing customer service! Pool area and hot tub are top notch. Great location! The rooms are fine. Your basic motel room. Nothing great, nothing horrible. Wish they had a dresser tho. Its perfect for a short stay.

Old with Hawaii feeling

Location is decent but not great for Downtown access. Rooms are old and you hear everything around you. Pool area is quite nice and dog friendly although they charge a pet fee.

I’ll start by saying the manager here is great, but that’s literally the ONLY good thing about this property. I should’ve paid more attention to the reviews before booking. From the moment I arrived, I had to immediately switch rooms because the mildew/mold smell was unbearable. The second room was a slight improvement, but the rooms are outdated, and walking on the floor without socks will leave your feet disgustingly dirty within 30 minutes. The cleaning is subpar at best. The toilet seat in the bathroom was cracked and old—seriously, they couldn't even replace a $20 seat? Then, one morning at 6:15 AM, I was woken up when the mirror fell off the wall and crashed onto my bed. Maintenance told me they’d fix it around noon while I was at the Convention Center for work. Fine, whatever. But around 2 PM, I get a call saying that when they went in to fix the mirror, the toilet "didn't sound right," and they needed permission to fix it. This is after the toilet worked just fine when I left. I get back to my room after being gone for 10 hours, and guess what? The toilet doesn’t work AT ALL. Bottom line: don’t stay here unless you’re looking for a constant headache and frustration every night.

Great one night stay

Great central location for downtown Palm Springs. Staff was friendly and professional. The only concern we had was the deadbolt didn’t work and the door didn’t fit the frame to our room. We let the front desk know on checkout.

Classic hotel well worth staying at

Older hotel and a bit dated but exceptionally clean and well maintained. Friendly staff made check-in and check out smooth and quick. The walls seemed a little thin as I could hear neighbors once in a while but otherwise quiet. I especially liked the pool area with its distinct Hawaiian feel.
