I really like older hotels and this one has character and a fun tiki theme. The lobby and entrance has a really cool vintage design, parking was easy, and the pool area is really nice. Also great to have a restaurant and tiki bar on site. However, we had some issues with noise and just some basics of hospitality that would make me think twice about staying here again. We checked in on a weekday after a 10 hour drive and the hotel was pretty empty. Around 6pm the walls to our room started shaking due to some construction they were doing on the room next door, jolting us from a nap. I have no idea why the hotel staff, with a nearly empty hotel, decided to put us right next to that room but it was jarring. I called the front desk and was assured the noise would stop "soon" or they could move us. That's great but why put us there in the first place with so many other rooms to choose from? It was a stupid decision on their part. Fast forward to the next morning, I'm in the shower and go to get shampoo from the in-shower dispenser, nothing; conditioner, nothing; soap, nope. I was in a hurry and didn't have time for two showers so just dealt with it. This hotel is nice but their staff is just not paying attention and missing the mark on some really basic hospitality things, like putting customers in quiet/restful rooms and shampoo. With so many lodging options in Palm Springs, I would tend to look elsewhere next time despite wanting to support a smaller and older hotel.

The property was "reasonably" priced for Palm Springs and it wasn't too far from food and shopping. Would stay there again.

Had an OK stay here. Mostly chose it for the pool and decent price compared to other places. Location is central. Pool area and hot tub were nice. Booked a deluxe room but didn't feel very deluxe. Wouldn't want to see what the basic rooms are like. The bed was unfortunately uncomfortable and wouldn't have wanted to spend more than a night or two on it. Shower didn't have shower gel and had to request it since it wasn't filled up after last guest. They are quite particular about the pool towels and will only Exchange them in your room during certain hours. Overall wasn't a terrible experience but will look elsewhere when we return.

Asked for a bathtub in our room no plug for the bathtub. They couldn’t find one. I would think if you had a bathtub you’d make sure you had plugs.

We had a wonderful visit and close to many things we wanted to do. Our only complaint is the beds. Boy they need replacing. I haven’t slept on old box spring beds in a decade or more. Plus the beds squeak and body sinks in. Otherwise it’s a really great place!
