The room was clean and well equipped, but was a bit small. Facilities on site were good with a nice pool, gym and gardens. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great location in downtown within easy walking distance of the main shopping area and a supermarket over the road.

This is an old motel that’s been updated for a fun retro feel. Nice pool and large spa, picnic tables, seating and gaming areas throughout. Clean room, updated bathroom with nice shower gel, etc.. Even though it’s a pet friendly, you could not tell in the room. However, among the many awesome communal spaces for hanging out with friends and family, the outdoor area with the fake grass definitely had lingering dog pee smells (our dog thought that was great— we didn’t agree). Very close to DT Palm Springs and they have bikes to borrow! We’d definitely stay here again.

Hotel location was great. Hotel and room were clean . Parking was ample and convenient. Staff was courteous and helpful. Only small complaint I have is the shower head…. May be it’s our room…but the setting in shower head made the water stream so sharp that it actually hurt. Could not change the setting . Other than that the stay was great!

Easy check-in everything was nice and clean. I wouldn’t take away a star, but the only thing is that you have to keep on keying in a code number. To enter your room.

Great! Stay wonderful property but I find it odd that you have to go around to a side entrance and not enter through the main lobby after hours... Seems pretty simple to put a tap card there and would keep people and lit well viewable areas
