I was pleasantly surprised with our stay at Hotel California. The staff accommodated our late check-in right around 9pm with ease and our 'little late' check-out around 11. The staff is SUPER friendly. The complimentary snacks are phenomenal and the coffee is the community room is the best that I have had so far. I would highly recommend this property while in Palm Springs.

The office staff was very friendly and helpful! We really enjoyed our stay here and the ambience of the pool area and patio. It was also nice to be provided with snacks and drinks in our room. The only suggestion I would have would be to invest in new bath towels and patio lounge chairs. Thank you for a relaxing few days!

We actually liked the property as it was much smaller and convienent for us. We liked that it was adults only so it was much quieter. We appreciated the microwave, toaster,mini fridge, snacks in the room and coffee maker in the room and the acess to the kitchen and snacks in the common area of the hotel. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. The one drawback was that parking was a little tight, however we will definetly be back and we enjoyed ourselves immensely.

This is a small botique hotel and we really enjoyed our 4 night stay to start off the new year. The staff is wonderful and we liked the complimentary breakfast. The pool was nicely heated and the hot tub was very nice. We stayed in room 15 and the bed was really bad. It was sunk in the middle and my husband who had his hip replaced a couple months ago was miserable. The most comfortable seating table and chairs were right out side of our room and most mornings we'd wake up, still in our pjs and open the drapes to people staring in at us. Very awkward. I'd love to go back if we stayed in another room with a better bed.

A lovely relaxing stay

Hotel California is a very special place. The courtyard is beautiful and relaxing, my favorite part. The service team went above and beyond. Offered a glass of wine on arrival, had snacks and soft drinks in our room for us. Also very helpful in suggesting things to do and places to eat. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back again!

Full kitchen. Multiple days eating out can get old. Two story allows separate sleeping, bathing and dressing area. With living, entertaining down stairs. Both with restrooms. Continental breakfast making the start of your day easy. Instead of making yourself presentable, to go out, to have breakfast. Heated pool and Spa. Separate patio for smoker’s. Just simple accommodating. Walking distance to downtown shopping and food. Or walking distance to the Supermarket.

Location is close to downtown and some beautiful hiking spots. Just wish the room had a full length mirror, that’s nice to have when traveling. Definitely would come back. Thank you to Tracy & Maria.
