Staff is friendly, accommodating and authentically caring about patron's comfort. The grounds and rooms are well kept and clean. The community kitchen that is open 24/7 is more than well stocked for breakfast. If you desire to cook or have your own food the kitchen provides all the accoutrements you need. Warm pool and even warmer hot tub is lovely along with the overall sweet garden feel of the pool area. Rooms are comfortable. It might be nice if they consolidated a couple rooms to make a suite as all rooms are small. Only changes I would recommend is to upgrade pillows and tub/shower could be upgraded. Great home base for getting to know the Palm Springs area.

We liked the fact that this was a small hotel for adults only ; no kids !! It was also beautiful with the vegetation, views of the mountains, and the ambience at nighttime with candles lit around the pool, and a sitting area with flaming heat. But the most important feature was a friendly and super-helpful staff !!

Beautiful small hotel. We were so happy to have use of the heated pool in the middle of January. The staff is lovely and the rooms are very nice too. There are lots of free snacks and beverages available which was extremely convenient. A wonderful value for the price. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Palm Springs.

Great quaint little boutique hotel. Very comfortable and relaxed environment. Only issue was we arrived at 10:00 pm and there wasn’t anyone there to check us in. Called many times and finally got someone to answer and give us check in instructions at about 10:45. Or really wasn’t that big of a deal thankfully and the rest of our stay made up for that little snafu. Very nice friendly staff. We’ll definitely stay here again.

I could have had a wonderful weekend until I asked at 3 pm the manager when can I get my room cleaned? he answered me very sarcastically why didn't you put your sign on the door? that's how we know when to clean... first of all, its a very small and remote motel with a maximum of 8/9 rooms and there was just 5 people at the motel...there was no sign whatsoever in the room to out on the door, it was just a very unfriendly answer and I will never recommend that place, for the price I paid $800 for two nights and be pushed away because my question was stupid `
