My late arrival was rough. They said my room would be open but it wasn’t. I called the number they had texted from and was given another room - not the superior one I had paid for, but clean and open. The staff and unique ambiance were overwhelming except the not leaving my room open part

Fantastic three day getaway at the El Morocco. Cute if not simple themed room, 24 hour hot springs hot tub (more like a small swimming pool) pool and saunas. High quality and reasonably priced spa services as extras. Will be back...

Oasis in Desert Hot Springs

This place is so cute. The staff is super friendly. Just loved the whole vibe. Lots of amenities and the decor in the rooms was adorable. Wish the bathroom had a fan and that there was some brighter lighting available in the room but other than than loved our stay. Would come back.

This is truly an oasis in the middle of the California desert! It has a remarkable feeling of being in a beautiful Riyadh in Morocco, with so many gorgeous pieces of Moroccan furniture, tile, and art. The hot spring pool and jacuzzi, plus excellent spa services, are special. We had a wonderful couple's massage. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience a Moroccan hammam in America.

It said it provided breakfast. You had to make your own coffee and all breakfast was was yogurt, rolls or instant oatmeal. Not my idea of breakfast.

Liked: Amenities
The hotel has funky Moroccan décor that made it much more interesting than your typical econo-box hotel in this prices range. The location in Desert Hot Springs is off the beaten path but this means a 15-30 minute drive to a decent restaurant if you're not interested in one of local pizza or Mexican establishments. The grounds are a bit run down and the room had a musty smell but they did offer 3 saunas, a pool, a large hot tub and other amenities including a 24/7 airing of Casa Blanca. Beware of the limited check in window.

The pool area was very nice and inviting. The staff especially Debbie was extremely nice. The room smelled of humidity, the door and plumbing need fixing. The breakfast was a JOKE. The Expedia photos showed a beautiful Continental breakfast. This is not TRUE. The breakfast choices were substandard. Cheap tasteless coffee, pastries, yogurts. In my book this is called false advertisement.

I absolutely loved my stay here at the Morocco inn and spa. While we arrived late, the staff was being courteous the entire time. Small, quaint, relaxing I definitely felt taken back to those Humphrey Bogart days the dedication to theme was amazing. The cats, the random camels here and there it was all the nice touches. I was even pleasantly surprised to take away a breakfast bag home I was able to soak in the mineral pool and it was beyond amazing. I had the desert Mirage spa treatment, and it was heavenly and worth every penny, this Hass to be the best staycation ever. I can’t wait to bring my girlfriends Here for our relaxing Mommy getaway thank you so much for your hospitality and can’t wait to see you again. Debbie was beyond amazing. She made me laugh and made me feel welcome.

This is our 3rd year celebrating my birthday at this lovely venue, we absolutely love the Moroccan theme, the spa services are amazing, the rooms are gorgeous!!! The only reason I did not offer 5 stars is because the neighborhood no longer feels safe. When we arrived a very tattered person was creating a home in the dumpster 5-10 feet from the door. He eyed all the cars coming in and out as he pulled items from the dumpster. He remained there our entire stay. I could tell other customers were also a little uneasy as two were musicians and opted to bring their entire drum set up a flight of stairs to avoid leaving the items in the car. I would definitely not feel safe venturing out to the car without my fiance. Perhaps adding a security patrol might be useful...

 we wanted to relax in quiet area, but weren’t able due to their very loud conversations.

Immediate amazing first impression. Walking in you smell the wonderful spa essential oils, front desk is so nice, cute little tour of all the amenities. They have spa like music near the 24 hour pool. The decor is so beautiful. Great spots to lounge and relax. I can’t think of one bad thing, can’t wait to come back!
