We loved it here. The setup of the room was cozy and nicely decorated. Room was comfy and met all our needs. Check in was easy. They showed us around the property and walked us to our room. Very cute boutique hotel. We didn’t use the pool but did sit out there. Parking was easy and area was quiet. Double blinds on the windows for privacy or to see out.

Old California vibe. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. We’d be hard pressed to recall an interaction that was so welcoming. The room was clean and while breakfast was rather limited, it was satisfying. Would happily stay there again when in Palm Springs.
