    We stayed at ARRIVE Palm Springs from 12/31-1/2, and I'm deeply disappointed - not just by what happened, but by how the hotel has refused to address it. On 1/1, while using the hot tub on site, the chlorine stripped the dye right out of the fabric of my swimsuit within about 10 minutes. By the next morning, my partner's swim shorts were also bleached and permanently damaged. The photos speak for themselves - this was severe chemical damage, not normal wear. While we were at the pool that day, a staff member told us the hot tub had been chlorinated that morning. Two of our personal items were ruined after a single use following same-day maintenance. The total replacement cost for my swimsuit alone is $240. Fabriv damage occurring within minutes is commonly associated with significantly elevated chlorine levels, not normal use. Given how quickly the dye was stripped from our swimwear, this raised serious concerns about whether the facilities were safe for guests to be using at that time. What's far more upsetting than the damage itself is the hotel's lack of response. We reported this while still on property and followed up multiple times afterward. Management was dismissive, denied responsibility, and told us to take it up with Booking.com. Since then, Booking.com has attempted multiple times to contact the hotel on our behalf and the property has not responded at all. Accidents happen. Equipment issues happen. But refusing to acknowledge a clear problem, deflecting responsibility, and then completely ignoring repeated attempts to resolve it is unacceptable. The lack of accountability and communication is what truly ruined this experience.

    Our stay was so fun & we really appreciated the manager Kimberly's hospitality. She directed us to a wonderful poolside cabana & served us our delicious brunch poolside while we sunbathed. We will definitely be BACK!

    What a great vibe and bang for your buck. This property is relaxing, great pool area with a friendly and attentive staff. The rooms were nice, comfy bed. The only thing I would change is the shower heads in the shower were not the best. I would recommend this quit adults only hotel to anyone looking to relax and get away.

    Love this place. Brandon, the poolside server, made our experience complete. Service makes our entire experience everywhere we go, and Brandon truly exceeded our expectations. Arrive, you have a gem! Highly recommend the pina colada, tuna tostada, fried chicken sandwich.

    We had a really nice stay at ARRIVE Palm Springs. There were a few small issues during our visit, but Kim, the manager, was amazing ,she was always there to help and made sure everything was taken care of. Aya was super sweet and kind ! The food and drinks were great, and overall it was a very enjoyable experience. Thank you, Kim, for your kindness and professionalism!

    Just a heads up for those that like fried chicken sandwiches... The Arrive Hotel on North Palm Canyon has the best chicken sandwich I've ever eaten. I had a sandwich and a Cosmo for $15 on the happy hour menu from 3 to 6. Coming from San Diego where I'd spend that amount on the drink alone, it was a hell of a bargain. Not only that, the service is excellent and it was delicious well. And the ambience is beautiful with the mountains so close. Paul is a very good Manager as well. A great place to unwind.

    I just returned from a few days at ARRIVE Palm Springs and had an awesome time! The property was clean, well maintained and had everything I needed for a relaxing weekend. Funny story... Driving from Las Vegas to Palm Springs, my wife decided to read aloud the 1 star reviews for ARRIVE. Thankfully, upon reflection on a great weekend all the complaints regarding ARRIVE PS were absent during my visit. I'll start with MY experience v. ONE stars: Friendly and helpful staff all around v. rude and unfriendly. Great food and drink v. lousy food and expensive drinks. Comfortable room and in good shape v. I looked for a robe with a hole in it, nothing found. Music by the pool was nice v. loud, blaring music all day and night. The property was void of riff-raff roaming around v. unhoused checking doors and loitering around the property. Check in/out was easy v. I did not get charged multiple times or treated rudely. Also... I loved adults only, 21+ (and yes, that excludes babies, 19 year-olds, toddlers and anyone UNDER 21 years old, duh!) The bed was super comfy and A/C was ICE COLD - thank you! Location was good, a few nice places to eat and drink within walking distance and easy parking around the back. Downtown is 1-1.5 miles down the road. Bonus: great neighborhoods behind the property to walk around and snap photos of amazing architecture. Neighborhoods: Vista Las Palmas and Old Las Palmas (be sure to stop by Liberace's place and see the piano mailbox!) LOVED ARRIVE PS, 5 stars!

    A welcoming oasis in the desert. My partner and I stayed at the Arrive during a recent trip to Palm Springs. It's a cute, boutique hotel about 2 miles from the downtown area. We chose to stay here due to other reviews and the fact it is 21+. It has been amazing to enjoy the patio and pool area without kids running/screaming everywhere. We stayed here in January during the week so it was definitely quieter than I expect other times of the year or on weekends. There are several restaurants and bars within walking distance to the hotel if you don't want to drive into downtown for a meal. The hotel restaurant has a nice menu and the food is superb. I enjoyed brunch there during my stay. I loved starting my day with the outdoor seating facing the mountains. The bar also opens out to the pool area which is surrounded by ample, cozy seating. We were given complimentary, "drink on us" coupons upon arrival which was a lovely, welcoming gesture. Speaking of welcoming, the staff are chill, down to earth and very helpful. Our poolside room had its own patio with a small fireplace and the room was perfectly decorated and inviting. Heads up for those coming here for a weekend with friends and plan to share a room. The shower/bathroom area in the rooms are open. The toilet has a small door but there is no privacy for showering. Sorry, fellow shy peeps! Overall it was a wonderful experience in a charming hotel in Palm Springs.

    If you're looking for a fantastic adults-only getaway, ARRIVE is the place to make it happen. Check in at the bar was quick and easy and we were given a complimentary drink after checking in. Nice touch! The vibe of the place is great. Pool area was super clean and relaxing. Love that it's only got about 25 or so rooms. Even when fully booked, there are always poolside lounge chairs available. They've got bicycles to borrow. It's about a mile from downtown. Definitely walkable if it's not too hot and you're not in a rush. Uber wasn't expensive to get downtown. We grabbed coffee next door at Cartel and had a fantastic bike ride through the movie colony to check out houses and architecture before riding downtown for breakfast. Room was fantastic. Close to the pool. Awesome patio with fire chimenea. Super cold air conditioner. We'll definitely be back!

    I fell in love with this place when I was placing our reservation. The people were just as nice over the phone as they were when I got there.

I took a dip in all the pools from one to the next; I love mineral pools. Something about this mineral water feels like magic. Time just froze. It was as if my whole life led up to this moment. Nevertheless, sky gazing is allowed and in fact encouraged to watch the clouds drift. Birds chirping was music to my ears. The plants were oxygenating and the landscape was therapeutic.

From the moment we arrived, though, La Serena Villas made us feel completely at ease. The customer service was truly impeccable from check-in to check-out. Every staff member we interacted with was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant to work with. When we arrived, we were immediately offered a prickly pear champagne beverage. After I mentioned that I'm allergic to alcohol, the staff instantly offered me a lavender lemonade instead without missing a beat. I'm usually not a fan of lavender-flavored drinks at all, but this one was so surprisingly delicious that when I checked out, I actually asked if they sold it. They don't, unfortunately, but they were kind enough to offer me another glass as a parting gift, which was such a thoughtful touch and perfectly captured the level of care and hospitality throughout our stay. The villas themselves were amazing. Everything was pristine, beautifully maintained, and spotless. The overall vibe of the property was quiet, peaceful, and deeply relaxing, which made it feel like a true escape. I genuinely enjoyed every moment I was there and am already looking forward to booking my next stay.

The property is small but quite nice. Pool is kinda crammed in there, with fewer chairs than guests should the hotel be sold out, and it's right in front of the restaurant, putting your swimsuit ass on display for anyone looking to dine. But there is a spa past the "guests only" sign, away from the pool, so that's at least an option. Rooms are spacious and beautiful. Reminded me of a casita. Shower is huge and has great pressure. Pocket doors all around, nice. Hot tub in back is killer and having a fire pit next to it makes the backyard lounging even more inviting on a crisp night. Free breakfast is full of solid choices. Not-free food and drinks are good but, holy hell, is it overpriced. I hate that we're at a place where drinks are $20 on average for alcohol that hasn't been getting more expensive. I just drink less so good for me, I suppose? I got a surf & turf for $55 and it was flank steak and about 15% of it was fat. It came with three shrimp. Sad. Excellent service. Everyone was polite, accommodating, pleasant. No complaints there at all.

I grew up in San Diego and we had a second house in Indian Wells so I used to come out to this area often growing up and it's good to be back in a comfortable setting. I would say that the Ritz Carlton is probably the best hotel in the Coachella Valley given that there are very few other five star options. It's located in Rancho Mirage pretty much right in between Palm Springs and Palm Desert. It's located on the top of a large hill so it has great views of the valley. They have a steakhouse on site called The Edge, which has it selling feature being these views and the great steak. The hotel is not extremely large. It only is three floors, but it's a perfect size in that it doesn't seem too large or too busy ever. We chose the club lounge which allowed us to have free food and drink pretty much all day and they did a great job with adding new options to the menu. There is not an on-site parking lot so it will be valet parking only. Originally opened in 1988 and then reopened again in 2014 after a major renovation this place has been a staple of the desert for decades. The one strange issue we had is that we when we checked in we found adult sex toys in our bedside cabinet drawer, which was extremely odd for a Ritz Carlton so I would suggest that the cleaning crew check for these things but luckily we were a couple of adults without kids so it wasn't an issue just odd. The rooms themselves are well done and large with a full tub and shower and comfortable beds. Room service is also really good and the whole resort really lives up to the Ritz Carlton standard. I would definitely recommend if you are visiting the desert and I will be back again in the future.

SERIOUSLY help that horrid property out. Here at Ritz Rancho Mirage from the moment we arrived, we were greeted by all the wonderful valet men at the driveway. Bright happy smiles. Checking in was a breeze, with smiles, excellent customer service, and a super quick process. As we walked through the hallway towards the elevators, we were greeted by several staff members who said hello to us. Every employee we encountered at the property seemed to enjoy their job. It was such a wonderful day to see the Ritz Carlton stuffies for kids, three different options. Our kids chose the ram. Our family is known for collecting all the Ritz Carlton memorabilia and visiting all the properties around the world. So for this property to have three stuffies was a surprise The sweet, friendly young woman at the front desk showed them all the options, they could choose from. Our Family really loved our room. We again booked two connecting rooms. A double bedroom comes with a couch and is very spacious. The king bed also came with a little couch. The first floor had a very unique vibe that we all liked. The decoration of the Crystal lights was very cool. The bathrooms were all looking like they had a complete renovation. Big huge bathtubs for our little toddler to swim in his bubble bath in. Housekeeping staff I give them a 10! Phenomenal job all you amazing ladies and gents working in housekeeping. All of them were friendly, checked on us, offered more towels. Our room was serviced EVERY time we came back to the room, clean, spotless. Not like the disgusting Ritz Half Moon bay. The housekeeping crew here all were on top of their duties with great smiles and attitudes. We happily will be bringing more cash for them next time. Very hard workers. I appreciated all of you guys in housekeeping. The family pool was amazing! It was not overcrowded and it was clean, all the music playing was completely perfect for families. They keep the area very clean and the staff was always checking in on us to see like to order anything else or needed anything. The service at the Pool side is five star! The view from the property is spectacular! My family really was surprised at night that there was a star watch around the pool. We were able to see through the huge telescopes two distant stars. What a great treat. We all did enjoy the shops there at the resort. They had a great attire for the entire family. Dad found a wonderful shirt and our toddler found the cutest swim shorts. We don't like to do so far. This one is the best Ritz in terms of on site shopping. Overall, our family had a five star one experience at this property. So wonderful that I am very sure we will be booking more visits through the year.I cannot tell you enough how nice, accommodating and friendly staff is here at the property. If you have fur babies go ahead and bring them along ..this property is dog friendly! Our two Frenchies really enjoyed their time here.. being spoiled by the staff. They give water bowls and dog treats. There are many dogs in the property during our visit. Each of them were also happy to be able to socialize with their families as we could tell. If you can't tell...I Love the Ritz Rancho Mirage.

General hotel layout was nice, felt vintage and was a refreshing twist. Room layout was interesting, tv was placed in front of the couch so you can't watch tv in bed. When first entering our room: 1. The two ceilings lights either flickered or did not turn on at all. The room was pitch black until we PLUGGED IN the closet lamp. 2. The bathtub was not clean, there were hairs. Bathtub was paint was chipped and the faucet was leaking as well. 3. The kitchen utensils were not clean. Forks, glasses and even the roll of paper towels were found dirty or used. The extra rolls under the sink were unwrapped. When coming to our room a few hours after check in, calling customer service (calling three times) took more than an hour, just for us to be told that the lighting and cleanliness issues will be solved in the morning. Was really looking forward to the experience but upon our first few hours, we felt unwelcome, uncomfortable and turned off of our whole stay. Especially when faced with the lack of cleanliness in the restroom, if our bathtub could be so apparently dirty, what else could they have missed? We were forced to spend the first few hours fixing up our room before starting to feel comfortable. This meant scrubbing the bathtub, washing every dish and checking every surface. With the lengthy and detailed check in process, we were really expecting a quality, travel worthy experience. Instead, it felt we were greeted with an unclean, uncomfortable welcome. As guests, it was made obvious to us that customer service was not at the forefront of our experience.

It's a decent size hotel with views of the mountains or city. Starting from the nice valet welcome to the friendly check in experience. This hotel is cute and is part of the Kimpton chain. Very clean and modern vibe. The lobby offers that crisp detail modern architecture. There's a bar located along one side which the check in is on the opposite end. Elevator are to the other side. Two restaurants on the property. One on the main levels while the other one being more of the upscale dining experience on the top floor. Beside the rooftop pool with spectacular view of both mountains and city views. The poolside bar is great for happy hour and enjoying the outdoor. 4 Saints which is the upscale restaurants on the top floor also have a beautiful view of the mountains view. They too have a nice happy hour with bar bites that's worth checking out. Highly recommend the stuffed dates. I think it's only open for dinner. Beautiful decor and a nice outdoor balcony. Rooms are clean and modern. You can't beat their layout and of course there's the social hour that happens during the afternoon. Cocktails and mingle. If you feel like a nice day out, they have bicycles that can be used to enjoy the city. The location is great as it's in the middle of town. You have the museum right behind you as well as the Marilyn Statue. Shopping is literally out the front door of the hotel. Restaurant, bars, coffee shops, wine tasting and plenty of souvenirs shops are all out the front door. If you want a property that's easy to get around from place to place, this is your best bet. Service is great and the staff are all very friendly. If you're looking for a hotel that host pool parties, this may not be the place for you. Pool is small and caters to a more relaxed vibe.

Shops, restaurants, museums and other sights are all within easy walking distance. It's even directly across from the Forever Marilyn statue. We've stayed at several IHG properties before, and when we choose one, it's usually an InterCon rather than a Kimpton. So this was our first time staying at a Kimpton. I had wanted to try one as an Ambassador before Kimpton was removed from the eligible hotel list, but we finally got our chance. Perhaps because it's Palm Springs, the hotel feels small, or maybe it really is small. I'll admit I don't know much about art, but walking around almost felt like being inside a mini museum. I really liked the styling. It made the place feel warm, welcoming and full of character, rather than another bland corporate hotel to spend the night. Our room was upgraded to a mountain/valley view with a balcony. The beds and pillows may not be the best we've experienced, but they were comfortable enough that staying in bed all day sounded very tempting, especially with the hellish Palm Springs summer outside. Unfortunately, the heat defeated our plans to try the rooftop pool. We ended up retreating to the cool and comfortable room instead. Perhaps next time around, preferably when Palm Springs isn't trying to roast us alive. My wife and kids absolutely loved the robes. The texture gave them a nice touch of comfortable luxury. The bathroom design, though, still had me scratching my head. The shower and toilet were basically in clear view of each other. LOL. Not a deal breaker at all, just an interesting design choice. The front desk staff were warm and helpful throughout our stay. My apologies for not remembering any names since my brain was already cooked by the heat, but Kudos to everyone. They also gave us a 1:00pm late checkout on a Saturday, which we really appreciated. All in all, we really enjoyed our first stay at a/the Kimpton Rowan. We would definitely come back.

    This place is a true gem, maybe a hidden gem due to the negative reviews as of lately…read more My husband and I booked this place for a quick weekend getaway. I was a little scared when I read that most of the recent reviews were negative. I was thinking "oh no! What did I get us into." This place is a blast from the past. The decor is that of a mid century modern and is a really cozy quadrangle set up. The interior feels homey and the property is set up like an air bnb with shared amenities. They play 1950s music all day on speakers throughout the complex, it creates that vintage feel but can get repetitive after a few days. Lounge with tables, board games, travel brochures, couches, fire place, coffee and tea, and industrial kitchen for use during your stay. (Old reviews mention happy hour, breakfast, snacks, etc. these are no longer offered but why not just bring your own?) Each room has microwave and mini fridge. Outdoor gas fire pit for use. The pool is small but has a deep end 8ft which is nice. There are pool noodles and some tubes to use. The hot tub is spacious and powerful jets. We stayed in the Hawaiian surf room, loved the theme it was so cute and felt like a tropical getaway. The shower is small but functional. Good AC unit with a remote control and ceiling fan. Surfboard coffee table and wicker love seat add to the tropical feel. Overall this was a nice private getaway. You can be left alone to relax! If you need anything you can text the hotel and someone replies super quick in my experience. The hotel feels very secure with codes needed to enter the complex and security cameras at the entrance and surrounding the complex. (Probably for management to check and make sure everything is running smoothly). I would stay here again in a heartbeat and I have stayed at a few different boutique hotels in the area. This would be a top choice! Please realize this is an older complex and it does show some wear and tear but come on the building is probably 100 years old or somewhere close to that. If you are expecting a sterile, high end, resort feel for your stay this is not your place... but otherwise this is a great choice! I couldn't help but feel bad for the owners with all of the really bad reviews on here because that was truly not my experience. I left off one star because there are definitely areas of improvement that could be made but not enough to ruin my experience.

There are 10 rooms available and each one is a different theme in the 1950s. I stayed for two nights in the Crooners room and I enjoyed my stay a lot. When I arrived, Tim, the inn keeper assisted me with my room keys and showing me around the property. My room was decorated with the Rat Pack and I loved it. All rooms are a maximum of two people with a hot tub, refrigerator with water, microwave, and coffee maker, air conditioning, and DVD player. If you'd like, bring a DVD and popcorn to enjoy during your stay. The bed was pretty comfortable. There were more than enough pillows which I'm guilty of using more than one pillow while I sleep. I love how the comforter was linen on the outside, but cozy and warm on the inside. The Crooners room has two sinks, but I only used one. There is happy hour everyday at 5pm by the pool or communal area with snacks and beer or wine. During my stay there were chips and salsa and the following day was veggies with dip, with of course a drink of choice. Really nice touch added to my stay. It's been a while since I have stayed in a bed and breakfast and I love the homeyness here. Breakfast is served in the communal dining area with hand sanitizer provided. The three-course breakfast starts with a fruit smoothie, a fruit parfait and a hot breakfast. For breakfast they served blueberry pancakes with sausage and the following day it was quiche with artichoke hearts and potatoes. I loved the service here so much. You sit at a table and they serve the food to you. The pool is open 24 hours will pool floaties available to use as well. Another thing I like about this place is that because there aren't many people (max 40 people at a time) it is highly likely you will get the pool to yourself. When I checked out and left the property I told my husband I would enjoy staying here again. I really enjoyed my stay here and highly recommend you stay here too.

I knew my gate code and room number prior to arrival. Upon arrival we were greeted by a very professional, enthusiastic and personable receptionist Linda. We were walked through the resort with amenities pointed out. Pool, Hot Tub, shared kitchen and made aware of continental breakfast. Then walked to our room as well as entering together, service above and beyond. Being adults only allows pool and hot tub to be enjoyed 24/7. The room was spotless and we even had complementary beverages and snacks. The grounds were well maintained with plenty of seating as well as Giant Umbrellas able to provide shade over the pool and hot tub if desired. Hotel California is a hidden gem. We loved our experience and I'm sure we will return.

Had to make the hotel decision quickly, it wasn't planned in advance. Hotel California was one of three choices and after looking at all three, Hotel California was the top choice of the three adult only boutique hotels. If you're looking for modern, look elsewhere. The hotel was built in the 40s, started as a brick built in with only four rooms. Through Booking.com I booked a King Poolside room with sliding door. The room included snacks as well as the in room coffee and other standard amenities. There was also soft drinks in the mini fridge but unsure if these were considered chargeable if they were consumed. They were left untouched in the mini fridge. Do your research Yelpers! Hotel California's website said that Continental breakfast was included. However, Booking.com was showing otherwise, additional charge to add breakfast. Wow, just wow. Be smart consumers and know what's included. Do not be fooled. This place offered complimentary early check in at 3pm. There's no private parking lot but first come first served reserved spaces in front and the side of the property. We were worried about not getting a space after returning from dinner but we're lucky to nab one of two spots remaining. The cellular signal wasn't great and I resisted using the hotel's free wifi. I try to avoid using free wifi anywhere. There's complimentary Continental breakfast from 7 - 10 am. The breakfast is cleared by 10 am sharp. The refrigerated goods are locked up in a mini countertop fridge with the packaged two pack of hard boiled eggs, yogurts, organic milk, fruit juices. Other packaged snacks included Otis Spunkmeyer muffins, granola bars, nuts, breakfast cereals, oatmeal, fruits, coffees, and teas. There's also free popcorn from the poolside popcorn cart. There's a heated pool and Jacuzzi, open 24 hours with towels, pool floats, sunscreens and lotions. Be mindful of other guests and keep the noise down late at night. We didn't encounter anyone else at the pool after 10 pm when we returned from dinner. There were also free beach cruiser usage with waiver agreement. The bikes have mounted baskets up front for storage of miscellaneous items. Also, check seat heights as they aren't quick change adjustable. Linda and Ann were so friendly and helpful. These two managers were great during our stay. There were a few annoyances but not deal breakers that caught my eye... FYI, the slider door lock was very frustrating! Very difficult to open with a physical key ($150 lost key fee mind you! DON'T LOSE THE KEY!!!). The lock need to be serviced and maintained. It was loose and I had so much trouble unlocking this door. I reported it to the manager who also confirmed this problem. The TV-SAT TV is terrible! This small flat screen is outdated. Other hotels have large flat screens on a console. Here it's mounted to the wall near the slider. I had to use two remote controls to watch TV. Silly, just silly. #YMMV
