The hotel has a long history with celebrities and the Palm Springs area. Great mid-century theme for the hotel. It was clean, but old. It was close to downtown and Elmer’s Restaurant.

This place was much grimier in person than in photos. The shower was a nightmare- difficult to figure out and there was barely any hot water. Had to mess around for 30 minutes to get a hot shower and even then it kept sputtering out streams of cold water during 3 minute intervals.

Went to Palm Springs for a friend's wedding and this was the perfect place to stay. Easy parking, nice rooms, and the pool was great. Loved the Tiki bar and aesthetic.
