    Charming and comfortable hotel. This was our 3rd stay here. The owners are GREAT and friendly, personable, and very helpful. It's good for an easy run route down S. Palm Canyon Dr. Gorgeous views from the location. This is our go-to Palm Springs hotel!

    The appliances in the room weren't the best. The Toaster in our room did not work. The microwave was difficult to operate. the coffee maker took up the whole counter top, it was way too big. The toilet backed up on our last morning from almost nothing in the bowl. there was NO plunger in the room. I had to get help from the staff to locate a Plunger from the room next door. The small safe was not bolted down to anything and could be carried out the door anytime.

    It is a really nice, small and quiet Adult hotel. The staff was Great. Location was perfect. Parking was good. There was a nice veiw of the mountains from the Hotel. Overall we liked the Hotel

    The room was a bit tired but for our 2 days, it didn't spoil our stay as we regarded it as quaint and not your 'run of the mill' hotel.

    We were greeted by Terri and nothing was too much trouble. She worked double shifts for 2 days and she worked so hard to keep customers happy, The Happy Hours were great and the popcorn a nice surprise. The resort was quaint (but see below). Very comfortable bed.

    The pool was a bit too warm! Otherwise it was all really great especially the staff!

    The hotel is in a great location in Palm Springs. It's old school and the effort and friendliness of staff was outstanding. Every evening candles were lit around the courtyard. Music carefully chosen and staff working away planting things and making it all look good. The pool was lovely to have and there is constant access to a little kitchen. From one side of the pool you could see the desert mountains. We really enjoyed our stay... the perfect choice!

    Location. Next to a busy street with lots of traffic

    Breakfast was basic but sufficient. Location was along a busy road so this could be better. Overall the layout of the hotel, the reception and complementary items were above expectation. On our 16 days trip we stayed at 9 different hotels across California and Nevada. Mostly 4 and 5 stars, but Hotel California was the best by far.

    literally nothing, we loved everything.

    everything! the whole environment is welcoming, cozy and quiet. I really loved the outside area, there is lots of green, which makes more shade and more refreshing environment. Breakfast is served from 7:30am to 10:30am in the kitchen, and you are able to help yourself with whatever they have there. besides that time, the kitchen is still open and you can still get food there, juice, yogurt, cookies. the staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is great, about 10/15 minutes from whatever we wanna do. I really loved that place.

    The plumbing worked but needed a little tweaking to address a leaky shower faucet. There is nothing else that we didn’t like for found problematic.

    This is a cozy little hotel just outside of downtown Palm Springs. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The pool and outside area are filled with tropical plants and there seemed to be enough tables and chairs for everyone. Misters were a bonus on hot days. They offer a very full continental breakfast (cereal, toast,, boiled eggs, packaged muffins) and have a full kitchen available for guests to use. There are also bikes which are free for guests to use. The room was clean and nicely decorated. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

    All of the positives and the great time I enjoyed during my stay at the Hotel California Palm Springs diminish any dislikes to the point I can’t even think of them.

    The Hotel California Palm Springs has everything and then some for an enjoyable stay in the beautiful dessert environs. The hotel is and ideal place to hunker down, relax, and enjoy the Palm Springs sunshine poolside all day long. The pool area patio, which is surrounded by just the right amount of flora and much greenery, gets abundant sunshine until pretty much until sundown sundown, and even after the sun goes down; you can still hangout in the patio (cold beer or chilled glass of wine in hand) area poolside and bask in the twilight and then the candle light the staff provided by the staff. The hotel’s fleet of cruiser type bicycles are the perfect light mornig of late afternoon workout to go explore the surrounding neighborhoods and admire the beautiful Palm Springs Architecture. The community kitchen, where you go for the light breakfast, has a full range stove and bbq. The kitchen is very well stocked with cooking, serving, and plating utensils needed to prepare a full dinner, lunch, a more extensive breakfast or just cocktails and snacks for an afternoon/evening of just hanging out. The Hotel California is impressive in how they care for their guests. A special acknowledgement for Jessica who made my checkin welcoming and pleasant!
