From the moment we arrived the host was amazing , he was kind and offered free drinks and a tour. The hotel is small and beautiful. The room had 2 beds , small kitchen and a bathroom. We had issues with the safe but that was resolved quickly. There was a free breakfast that you can select and take to your room. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. The only thing that would improve the stay a little better would have been an extra chair in the bedroom .

Hotel California in Palm Springs is a delightful place to stay. It's a convenient drive to downtown. My room was very clean and comfortable and they include a lot of amenities like snacks, water, and soda. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Breakfast consists of prepackaged muffins, toast, cold cereal, yogurt, some fruit, coffee, and tea. There's a common kitchen and barbecue as well. The freezer is stocked with ziplock bags of ice, which is a nice touch. The pool area is nice with chairs and some tables around. Some of the rooms have their own seating area outside of their room. The only thing that kept me from giving this 5 stars is that the property is on a somewhat busy street, so there is traffic noise when you're hanging out at the pool. It was quiet in my room, but just not as tranquil as I would like outside. Fortunately, there isn't a stop sign or stoplight nearby, so the traffic just goes by, and it's not going particularly fast because the property is right near a sharp curve in the road. Aside from the noise of the cars, I thought that Hotel California was fantastic!

A WONDERFUL, CHILL EXPERIENCE
What a wonderful little hotel! If you're looking for hot action, this may not be the place. But if you'd like to chill in a beautiful, comfortable room then trip a few steps down by the beautiful, relaxing pool and sip hand made margaritas, this is the place for you. Oh, and the staff at Hotel California are literally the nicest, most accommodating hoteliers I've ever come across. We loved them, we loved this place, and we'll be back!

We have stayed at hundreds of hotels. Jasmine gave us a welcome that left the others in the dust. Incredibly welcoming. No nickel and diming. Snacks, water, soda -- all of it free and easy. They even had several varieties of sund tan lotion for those who run out or forgot. And it's close to both the cactus garden and downtown. We will be back! Only negative is that our mattress was softer than we usually like.

Staff is friendly, accommodating and authentically caring about patron's comfort. The grounds and rooms are well kept and clean. The community kitchen that is open 24/7 is more than well stocked for breakfast. If you desire to cook or have your own food the kitchen provides all the accoutrements you need. Warm pool and even warmer hot tub is lovely along with the overall sweet garden feel of the pool area. Rooms are comfortable. It might be nice if they consolidated a couple rooms to make a suite as all rooms are small. Only changes I would recommend is to upgrade pillows and tub/shower could be upgraded. Great home base for getting to know the Palm Springs area.

Great boutique hotel
Loved the warm welcome, offering of drinks and snacks. We had a nice room upstairs with a view of the mountains. It was a little noisy from the pool crowd but otherwise everything was great. Next time we will be sure to get a regular bed, the sofa bed was not the most comfortable.

We liked the fact that this was a small hotel for adults only ; no kids !! It was also beautiful with the vegetation, views of the mountains, and the ambience at nighttime with candles lit around the pool, and a sitting area with flaming heat. But the most important feature was a friendly and super-helpful staff !!
