We LOVED this hotel and are already planning our return! The staff were so friendly and welcoming it made us feel instantly at home. The courtyard area is lovely - we honestly spent half our trip happily hanging by the pool. I adored the attention to detail - the kitchen is fully stocked, the pool has everything you would need to enjoy it, great snacks provided, etc. You just realllllly feel taken care of in a way I haven’t really felt at a hotel before. Book this place!!!

I loved our stay. It was nice to stay in a place that was unique. Staff was awesome. Hot tub was great. My only complaint was the landscaper blew the leaves and degree into the pool and by our room. Lucky we noticed and shut the door. Communication was needed with that. We loved our upgrade. VIP is awesome!

This is a very nice and quiet hotel. Terry was great and she gave us the VIP treatment. It’s close to Palm Canyon and the main strip, but not too close, if you know what I mean:). It’s also not too far from all the restaurants and shopping centers in Palm Desert which is about a 20 minute drive on east Palm Canyon. Great staff and we will definitely return.
