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.

Wonderful staff! Very cute boutique hotel and they offer lots of amenities. Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating. Pool and hot tub were great. 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.

I love the small environment and very intimate setting. The staff here is amazing. I did not know what to expect. I really thought this was just a regular hotel but it is far from that. There is a kitchen that is open 24 hours with snacks. The pool is heated and there is a lounge room with movies for you to bring back to your room. I can’t wait to come back and spend more time here

Magical

We absolutely loved our stay at the Hotel California. It was relaxing and magical; the first things we noticed when we walked through the gate were all the hummingbirds floating around. The staff was so friendly and helpful. At night, they light a bunch of candles all around the courtyard. The hotel is small, so we had the hot tub and pool all to ourselves a few times. And the location was convenient to the airport, hikes, and downtown. There was a complimentary bottle of wine waiting for us at check-in, and they have a happy hour every afternoon. If we ever visit Palm Springs again, we will definitely stay here again. Our friends staying at nearby hotels were jealous of ours!
