Situated in the desert, about a two hour drive outside Los Angeles (barring any traffic tie ups), Palm Springs is a ritzy manicured oasis in the midst of stark foothills. The drive beyond Ontario California is pretty boring, as one might expect while driving through the desert. If your only destination is Palm Springs, flights can sometimes be arranged directly into the local airport. A car is a must, as the city is quite spread out. The city is so clean and rich, that it feels almost like a parody of itself. The palm lined streets are actually washed daily by the city, so as to remove dust that blows in from the desert. Golf is the primary attraction of this up market destination, and the courses are outstanding. Many resorts are situated on golf courses, giving them an attractive lush setting in contrast to the desert surroundings. Weather is warmer here than on the coast, but the nights are quite cool. Restaurants are of world class standards, and while Palm Springs is not known for sizzling nightlife, there's enough to keep most night owls busy - especially on weekends.
The expensive nature of lodging and restaurants, and the dominance of golf as the prime reason for visiting Palm Springs, make it a destination more suited to middle-aged and older couples. The area gets its share of male golf getaways, but families and singles are not common visitors to this area.

Verified PurchaserRenaissance Palm Springs Hotel: Nice place
The Renaissance had good views, a grand lobby. When I told the manager it was my birthday he gave us an upgrade and a credit. That was so very nice of him. The pool is large and best of all wet. Lots of loungers for people to enjoy. Breakfast was great and a good deal as well. There is a continental breakfast [$10] and a full buffet breakfast for [$18] with coffee included. Beds were softer than my wife liked but still somewhat comfortable. Location is close to town but not too close. All in All a great place. I would stay here again.
Amazing setting, beautifully maintained grounds, all around terrific resort. Tennis, pool facilities were impeccable. Restaurants, shops and marketplace store were great. Rooms were clean and spacious, but could have used some upgrades (carpet and tile). All around wonderful experience.

Verified PurchaserPalm Mountain Resort & Spa: Do not stay here
My sister and I recently stayed at Palm
Mountain Resort. We had been looking forward
to this vacation for months. We really wanted to like this hotel it’s in an amazing location and has a decent size pool with lots of lounge chairs. However we felt unsafe, on edge and it was not
relaxing. There were a couple of occasions where homeless people were roaming around inside the gated property, one incident where a man was yelling at us from the courtyard trying to get into the pool area. Another where there was a man trying to sell guests illegal substances. There was extremely loud construction the entire stay, we were not informed when we booked and we looked at their website and we didn’t see it written (if it is, it is not clear). We would not have stayed here if we knew before hand. There were tons of bugs called midges, that bite covering the pool walls and floor. On top of all this, our key cards
constantly had issues, the air conditioning was so loud it woke us up throughout the night, there was a dog toy, food, and dog hair all around my bed,wifi didn’t work in the room and only at the pool, which was very inconvenient as I brought my laptop for work and could not use it at all.

Verified PurchaserResidence Inn Marriott Palm Desert: Sunny Getaway
My husband and I were looking for an escape from the cold + rainy Vancouver and Palm Springs did not disappoint. We chose the Residence Inn due to both price and the fact that breakfast was included! It was also very handy to have access to a full kitchen in our room which gave us the option to eat in or go out. The service was great and staff very friendly and helpful (shout-out to Judith). We enjoyed using the gym daily (which is quite large and very quiet), and took advantage of the social events held at the dining area in the evenings. The only downside was the location, however we were aware of this when we booked. It's a good distance from any of the Palm Springs/Desert 'action'. That being said, we rented a car which allowed us to explore the area with no difficulty. We would definitely recommend this hotel for couples and families alike and will certainly be back in the future.

Verified PurchaserResidence Inn Marriott Palm Desert: Great place to stay
We liked free buffet style breakfast, cozy room with a kitchen and hot tub in the sister hotel next door. El Paseo and Living desert are 15 min away. Parking and wifi is free. The reception people were nice and friendly.

Verified PurchaserRenaissance Palm Springs Hotel: Lovely lobby, comfortable pool space, great service
The grounds were well cared for and the staff were attentive, friendly and service oriented.
We lost air conditioning in our room and it was fixed within the hour and we had a knock at our door to confirm everything was good. Didn't know there was a free shuttle from the airport to the hotel - that would have been helpful.
Overall, a lovely hotel, in need of some small fixes (patio door didn't quite shut, toilet ran constantly). We were happy with our stay.

Verified PurchaserRenaissance Palm Springs Hotel: Pleasant hotel, close to town.
This hotel is nice with many amenities, restaurant, games room, fitness centre, large pool and pleasant staff.
While my room was nice, a comfortable bed, a clean bathroom, a living area, fridge, 2 TVs, a desk and black out blinds, I did not like the location.
I was placed on the main level at the very end of a long hallway. I could not open the blinds as I was on the driveway and the room was visible to anyone walking by. Also I do not feel a single woman should be placed on the main floor unless they require an 'accessible' room to accommodate wheelchairs or mobility aides or they make a personal request.
I would have loved to have had a smaller room, on a higher level perhaps over looking the pool with the sunshine coming in as sunshine is the reason went to Palm Springs!
Parking is expensive $16/night if you are a Marriott member. Water $7 a bottle.
I would still recommend this hotel as a nice place to stay in Palm Springs.

Verified PurchaserResidence Inn Marriott Palm Desert: Good comfortable villa
Very clean and cozy - loved the hot breakfasts and a glass of wine at the end of the day.
The living room couch was very hard to sit on and the chair quite dirty.
They could look at getting new Living Room furniture.
Would come again.
Staying at Saguaro Palm Springs is like swimming in a bowl of fruit loops! With the fun colours and the post-modern designer vibe, the Saguaro does a great job of sloughing away travel fatigue. Guests can choose to swim, soak up some rays, ping some pong, pedal cruise the neighbourhood, or simply chill with margherita in hand. While the rooms and corridors could use more than the cursory clean that we observed, the place is still a great stop for a night or two. The Saguaro appeals to a young, hip crowd who embrace the fiesta atmosphere with gusto. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to high-maintenance folks, but for casual people looking for a fun break, this is the place.

Verified PurchaserResidence Inn Marriott Palm Desert: Nice resort except for the noise
This would be a nice place to spend some time around the pool or sitting on the deck if it wasn't for the fact that they were trimming and cutting down trees on the property and then chipping them all week. Usually a resort will advise in advance if there is construction and there will be noise that could inconvenience guests. The chainsaws and the tree chipper I am sure would have created more noise and it went all day for the entire week we were there. It didn't matter where you were on the property, including inside the room with the doors and windows closed, the noise was still present.

Verified PurchaserResidence Inn Marriott Palm Desert: Great location!
We selected this hotel since it was one of a few with a kitchenette. We were pleasantly surprised by the spacious studio rooms with a balcony for our morning coffee and afternoon cocktail hour. Breakfast was a nice bonus as well as a hospitality night Monday to Wednesday. The pool area was a little small and was a little noisy on the weekend however we spent most of our time exploring the great hiking trails and golf courses which were only a short drive from the hotel. We will definitely be back!

Verified PurchaserHyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa: Better than expected!
Since this was a Hyatt Regency our expectations were already pretty high and, I have to say that, my wife and I were very happy to see those expectation exceeded. The staff was exceptional, the rooms were nicer than we expected and the amenities and food services were great. We would definitely look at this resort for a return visit.

Verified PurchaserLa Quinta Resort & Club: A unique & relaxing place to stay.
Definitely a place I would go back to. The resort has beautiful gardens and fruit tees everywhere. Units are very clean, comfortable and well maintained however some of the furniture is dated and should be replaced.
