Always great
We stayed there now 4 or 5 times and have been happy every time. Great location between airport and downtown, the rooms are clean and the pool is very well maintained.

Bad Neighborhood
My wife was delayed so I didn’t have a car. No biggie, I walked to the hotel from the Convention Center. Just a couple miles. When I was 100 yards from the hotel, I was stopped by the police. Why??? It’s such a bad neighborhood that they stop everyone on the street. Apparently, the Motel 6 next door (on the other side from where I was accosted) is a hotbed of drugs and crime. Walking along the sidewalk, I was accused of casing the businesses for later crimes. The manager gave me a map with the wrong room marked. The keys didn’t fit the room (luckily... Who knows what I might have walked into, going into someone else’s room!) Loud music was played by the pool until 11PM The mattress had a very strange shape, peaked up in a center ridge yet scooped along the sides. It hurt my back and knees. The cleaning crew left a bucket and a brush in the shower one day, but they took it away the next. Just strange. Mostly, the room was clean. Nice stone shower though. If you go here, be sure to stay on the grounds or drive. Don’t venture out on foot.

Best value in Palm Springs
Charming and comfortable. The pool and grounds are beautiful and the tiki theme makes for a fun get-away. Best price for close in Palm Springs. Good restaurants within walking distance and they welcome well behaved pets with open arms!
