Dirty Charm!
Super cute pool area/tiki bar. Very conveniently located and the most reasonably priced spot in the area. The room is a little outdated which is no big deal but it was filthy. Long strands of black hair in several spots and a breathe right nose strip on the carpet. Overall, for the price - it’s a great option & ya can’t be too picky!

This hotel was fine for our purposes. We just needed a place to stay overnight. It was a nice place for a price we were willing to spend. We had a great dinner at Melvyn's nearby and a great breakfast at Elmer's nearby andthen went to the Indian Wells tennis tournament.

Older hotel, but conveniently located
This is definitely an older, motor Lodge style hotel. I’ve heard that it was a motel six many years ago that was converted to this more tiki style hotel. The pictures on the Hotels.com are a bit deceiving. It’s definitely more rundown with older carpet and furniture. It does have the benefit of a restaurant and a tiki bar Next-door. We had appetizers and cocktails at both and the food was good.

Meh Room but Great Pool
The room was clean but outdated. It was so hot and stuffy when we walked in - the ac did work but the wall unot took awhile to cool the room down. The TV cable was not working and there were no streaming options, not great when traveling with a child. The highlight was the pool which was great. Restaurant on-site was convenient and pretty good

Classic hotel well worth staying at
Older hotel and a bit dated but exceptionally clean and well maintained. Friendly staff made check-in and check out smooth and quick. The walls seemed a little thin as I could hear neighbors once in a while but otherwise quiet. I especially liked the pool area with its distinct Hawaiian feel.

Great location
Amazing customer service! Pool area and hot tub are top notch. Great location! The rooms are fine. Your basic motel room. Nothing great, nothing horrible. Wish they had a dresser tho. Its perfect for a short stay.

Centrally located to both ends of the valley
Adorable property with a tiki bar open late, who could ask for more. The check is was easy and friendly and there is plenty of parking.
The room was fine if a little rough around the edges. Very clean but worn.

Great one night stay
Great central location for downtown Palm Springs. Staff was friendly and professional. The only concern we had was the deadbolt didn’t work and the door didn’t fit the frame to our room. We let the front desk know on checkout.

Location is decent but not great for Downtown access. Rooms are old and you hear everything around you. Pool area is quite nice and dog friendly although they charge a pet fee.
