We loved this hotel, location, mainly the staff and service, Jordan, Beatriz, and Im sorry I forgot the other two amazing ladies names. The staff was so accomodating, and made our stay great. Rooms are clean, location to downtown, other surrouding cities (if you have a car) great!!

The room was clean, smelled good, had all the amenities I asked for. This is only my first night, but so far everything is good.

Palm Springs Tennis Club
The staff at the reception desk was a bit “snooty” for my taste. They cater to the very wealthy I’m sure, but that doesn’t excuse them from friendly and courteous verbal communication skills with all guests. If they were in fact trying, they really need to try harder.
