Clean comfortable rooms and new bedding for a very reasonable price. Huge pool and spa pool are awesome! Our favorite place to stay in Palm Springs. Close to everything. Pet-friendly.

One of the best-kept hotel secrets in Palm Springs. This place is keeping tiki-chic alive. Rooms are comfortable , cheap and the pool scene on weekdays is mostly kid-free. Follow us on Twitter @Jaunted

Staff is wonderful. Stay here frequently & always happy. Marble bathrooms , big flat screen tvs, mini fridges , outdated decor but clean and functioning. Nice pool area & cabanas for $60 midweek.

Alessandro Ottenga

Perfect place to stay in Palm Springs... high quality rooms, reasonable prices, free wi-fi everywhere, super pool... personally, I can't ask more than this!

Make sure the bar will be actually be open on the during your stay. They like to host private parties and shut it down on weekends.

Cristi Lerma

Such a nice surprise of a hotel if you're on a budget but want to stay in this awesome city ! Nice comfy rooms and great pool area and at only $60 a night!

Cynthia Drescher

Feels like I'm in a postcard from the late 1950s. A tiki-tacky hotel with really budget-friendly rooms and classic Palm Springs appeal. I wish they had a cool restaurant , though.

Rachel K

Hotel is connected to one of the best tiki bars in Palm Springs: The Reef. Pick up a limited edition tiki cup too.

Great weekend. Clean room , comfortable kingsize bed, dog friendly . Only wish the restaurant was still in business. Maybe another one will open up. Otherwise highly recommend for the next trip.

Nice hotel , untill they charge you $300 for smoking in your room which is quite peculiar since I don't smoke. Please save yourself some issues and don't go there.

Worst hotel I have ever stayed at in Palm Springs. Everybody was very rude. they told us check in was at 3 then didn't get the room till 4 bc of a lot of late check outs then denied us late check out.

BE AWARE OF RIP OFF!! The room prices are decent, but they will find another way to make money!! They charged me for smoking in the hotel room (300 dollars) but I don't even smoke?!

Well made tiki cocktails, and the staff is extremely warm and welcoming. Didn't eat, but the food looked very good. Only downside--cash only, but indicated this should change eventually. - Doug de Wet
