Banning Condominium Resorts to Rent

"Clean property and beautiful Mountain View!"

"Staff was amazing, very friendly, polite, and helpful. We really enjoyed all the areas they had for guests to sit, games were available for free as well. Beautiful view of the mountains and located within walking distance of restaurants and stores. My only complaint about the actual hotel was the limited lighting near the bathroom which is super minor and the pillows. I found the pillows to be uncomfortable. Staff were able to provide a few extra to help me out. We loved the mini bar set up by the pool. Pool:Unfortunately there was a large family that monopolized a few of the cabana beds and left for 3.5 hours during the day leaving their stuff on them and unused, with the pool being busy, many people were left without a spot to sit. Would definitely come back to the Dunes. "

"Apparently this hotel is under new ownership and it shows in the worst ways possible. The staff at the front desk were some of the rudest people I’ve ever had check me into any hotel in my life. One staff person, older woman with brown hair, was insanely unpleasant not just to me but to the people who were in front of me at check in and check out. There was another guy at the front desk with white hair who seemed to just straight up ignore people as they came in. Our room was not ready at 3 and we ended up having to wait until 4:15-ish for it. The new owners are now asking patrons to pay for parking in their lot which is something they’ve never done at this hotel and doesn’t make sense for the area of Palm Springs they’re located in. Our water temperature in the room never actually got warm, no matter how long we waited for it to heat up. We’ve stayed at the Ace for years now and this was the first time it was a bad experience. I’ll be staying at one of their neighbors who have more reasonable prices the next time I stay in Palm Springs. The only bright spot was one staff member who was checking people in (she wears glasses). She was very friendly, very helpful and is clearly too good to be stuck working at Ace these days. Hoping a better opportunity comes her way soon."

"Friendly staff clean rooms"

"Retro vibe and a convenient location. Room was lacking even a coffee maker. Nice pool area. Could not charge any purchases from the attached restaurant and bar to the room as they are a "seperate business" Best part was a short walk to Koffi-a great morning coffee spot"

"Yes"

"This hotel is pretty rundown. I heard they’re changing hands and maybe they’ve taken the foot off the gas, there’s a “bare bones” feeling. Not a ton of staff around. No food offerings to speak of. In fact we stayed there right before Passover and the whole hotel was switching over to kosher so they said the food offerings would be extremely limited because of this. I’m all for having kosher options but when the whole hotel switches it’s kind of weird. They even came to our room to ask if they could take our Kureig because I guess it’s not kosher? And we weren’t really using it so we let them, but it’s a strange request for a hotel to put on a guest. Also they checked us in two hours late (on a 4pm check in!!) so yeah, not the greatest experience. "

"We didn’t have the chance to eat there or get something from the bar "

"I've been coming here for a few years. My kids and I my always have a blast and love just staying in the pool and hot tubs all day. It's a short drive to Joshua Tree, so we usually stay 2 days at the pool and 1 day hiking. It's a perfect weekend literally only 2 hour drive from LA. While the rooms could use a little upgrading, the stunning scenery and pools are amazing!"
