Motel 6 Palm Desert, CA - Palm Springs Area

10/10 Excellent

"A welcome oasis"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Palm Desert

8/10 Good

"Traveled with kids (3, 6, 14, 17). We got one of the bigger rooms with 2Q beds and sofa bed. The beds were very comfortable and the room was spacious enough for all of us to be comfortable. The sofa bed was not comfortable but I expected that in all honesty. The hotel itself was a little worn down but we weren't looking for a luxury stay. There was a small gym, ping pong tables, lawn chess. There was pickle ball available but we use it. We were very happy with the location. It was very convenient to the zoo and very close to markets and restaurants. We were only disappointed that the laundry facilities were closed. (You had to pay to use them.) We were happy with our stay and will consider staying there again if we travel with the kids. Staff was great. Super nice and inviting. Breakfast was solid, fresh omelet station, pasties, fruit."

Holiday Inn Express Palm-Desert by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff was very friendly. From check in to assistance at breakfast. The kind staff assistant at breakfast was especially kind and helpful. Breakfast options were good. Its your standard continental fair, with hot and cold food options, but they were good. Room was comfortable, but a bit dated. There was some candy pieces left on the floor in the room near the balcony. A bit dusty in a few places. Elevator is slow and a bit wobbly. There was a power outage that lasted a few minutes. This happened in the morning so I couldn't tell it was specific to the hotel or the surrounding area. I didn't get the chance to try the other amenities. Close by to food and about a 15 minute drive to Acrisure arena."

Inn at Deep Canyon

10/10 Excellent

"I wish I got to stay in the actual room that we booked but they accommodated us to units next door to make room for a large group that visits there. We really appreciated the advanced notice and the ease of the switch. The property that they switched us to was not as clean as it could have been; a ton of hair in the shower drain, the room was not properly swept, crumbs visible on furniture and floors. Black ink stains on the comforter. The hand soap dispenser was broken, the coffee maker had a misused pod inside it, so we had to clear out grounds and run a few times to make coffee, those should be checked after each stay, most people that do know how to use them leave the pods in there too, we did, now that I think about it. Large bugs were getting in somehow, we think from the crack of the door jam, and were always found in the bathroom (grasshopper & a large roach). Overall it was not my booking locations facility so it’s not their fault. We would come back to be able to stay at the Inn that we did book. The other property needs better cleaning staff."
