Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Hotel had just opened four days ago due to COVID. There were some maintenance issues that needed to be addressed and they were working on it at time of my arrival. Hotel was walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. Overall it was a good experience

Excellent food and drinks at the hotel's restaurant. Very nice pool and jaccuzzi (the latter, very hot, which is how I like it!). Guests of the hotel were friendly but not intrusive, and the children some of them brought with themwere charming and well--behaved. Isn't that amazing?

Perfect Getaway

The Colony Palms is one of my favorite hotels to stay at in the downtown Palm Springs area. It's close to great dining and bars. But the number one reason I enjoy this resort is the wonderful staff and beautiful rooms and grounds. It's the perfect getaway!!!

Relaxing Stay! We'll be back!

Pros: The nostalgic, classic look. Very clean rooms and grounds. Friendly staff (especially in the restaurant) and excellent food! Really nice heated pool.
Cons: Offer a courtesy upgrade or free meal if there is a problem with the room. Better staff to staff communication to ensure guest satisfaction.
Location: Right next to the strip! Lots of great restaurants and shops within walking distance. A must do is the Tahquitz Canyon hike!
My wife found Colony Palms on Travelocity. We were looking for a quick getaway with our kids and Palm Springs is one of our favorite places to go. The Colony Palms feels like a secret resort instead of a bland hotel. Very beautiful, classy look and VERY clean. The staff are very friendly too. The food is outstanding as well as the pool and spa. We had 4 people (2 adults 2 kids). The room was a little small but we managed. The only thing that bothered me was the lack of communication between my online request and the first room we were given. I requested a double bed online at Travelocity along with a bath in the room. However, when we arrived a 4pm for check in, we were given a single bed, no bath. I requested a double bed but housekeeping wasn't ready. We waited in front of the new, double bed room for one hour and the room was cleaned and ready all along (!) There was an apparent miscommunication between the front desk and housekeeping. I would also like to recommend that the staff be a little more generous and offer an upgrade when these things happen. I requested an upgrade but got denied, even though the hotel clearly had plenty of vacancies. Aside from this glitch, my family and I really enjoyed our stay here. Plenty of peace and quiet :)

Gorgeous, boutique hotel! Quiet and beautiful.

I love this gorgeous, boutique hotel! Quiet and beautiful. This was my second visit and it's just great! They also have complimentary bikes you can borrow which I think is fantastic. Every staff member I met and worked with was terrific.

Overall mediocre

Pros: Air conditioning worked great, bed was comfortable, wireless was free and fast.
Cons: Delivering what was promised.
Location: Palm Springs downtown, great shops and restaurants. Tip: don't go in the summer unless you like triple digit temperatures!
I say "mediocre" because I specifically asked for a bathtub while booking. When I arrived to check in, it was insinuated that due to booking online I couldn't really get what I was promised or had paid for. The woman who was checking in ahead of me also had an issue where she was loosing 80 dollars due to some misunderstanding, she was not happy even though she was very calm and polite. The room was clean and pleasant however the room was much smaller than the photo projected it to be. I would never stay there again.

An oasis in Palm Springs

This hotel is a welcome respite from the tackiness of Palm Springs. Our room was lovely with the best appointed bar I have ever seen in a hotel. The pool was perfect and the food very good, in fact the best we had in Palm Springs. The garden were spectacular, filled with the scent of jasmine and hummingbirds everywhere. You really feel like you are somewhere else tropical. I would say the only glitch was the reception staff. There was no explanation of the facilities, and they seemed put out to show us to our room. The recommendation for a Mexican restaurant was poor to say the least. Loved the bar!
