It gets said a lot, about a lot of places, but this really is a little Oasis near Downtown PS / Arenas. Very nicely maintained & unassuming from the outside. Very tranquil neighborhood. Its contactless checkin meaning access is via email/messaging. I really look forward to staying here again.

We loved our stay at the Desert Hills, It was our third time coming here and it is always fantastic. Very quiet, close to restaurants and shops. Great atmosphere, beautiful rooms and property. Only downside was a construction site outside the hotel which started their work at 7am. But other then that it was perfect. Thank you Desert Hills.

If you are looking for a clean, quiet, lovely stay in Palm Springs- this is the place. It was perfect for what I was looking for. My room was perfectly clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The pool area was quiet and clean. There is no working hot tub, otherwise 5 stars all around. I’ll definitely be back!

While this is a “contactless” property, the staff stayed in close contact via text and was available of any concerns arose. It’s a charming mid-century low rise with a lovely pool area. Can’t beat the location
