As a lot of people know, Best Western plus hotels are hit or miss . Some of them are really bad…read more Some of them I can't figure out why they're even called a plus. But this one is brand new. It's like any other price or chain like a Holiday Inn express or Hampton it's just really nice. Plus they have plenty EV charging right upfront. Love this place.

This was the first time we stayed in a Best Western Plus versus a regular Best Western Motel. I…read morewanted to try this Plus version in anticipation of perhaps staying at more of these as we start traveling more and want a decent place to stay at that's reasonably priced too. We stayed one Saturday night after attending the Jeff Lynne's ELO Over & Out concert at the Acrisure Arena. What I really like about this Best Western Plus location, was how it was conveniently located to many restaurants, fast food chains, shopping, the Acrisure Arena, all within a 5 mile radius. This BW+ appears to newly built. Parking was adequate and there appears to be a third party security officer monitoring the parking areas at night (we parked next to him by accident). The staff both when we arrived and when we departed, were very pleasant and professional; checking in and out was uneventful. Our rooms clean, spacious as far as a room with a king sized bed is concerned. The room also had a small refrigerator, a small microwave, Keurig machine with a few K-Pods (reg and decaff), iron and ironing board. Our bathroom was clean and had body wash, shampoo and conditioner inside the walk in shower. Every morning they offer a free breakfast. Our Sunday morning offerings were juices (Apple, OJ, Guava & Orange), milk, coffee, hot chocolate. There's a coffee machine in the lobby available 24/7 for coffee, decaf, hot chocolate, espressos, lattes, etc. In addition, they offered Belgian waffles you make yourself, scrambled eggs, pork sausages, toast, bagels, cold cereal, oatmeal, yogurt. Staying at a BW+ allowed us the opportunity to try one of these, and we will definitely consider staying at this BW option more often in the future.

'Ello Chaps, A…read morepromising first impression, a comfortable stay... but a rather lengthy to-do list stands between this property and the resort it could be. When comparing hotels around Palm Springs, we were drawn to this property by the photos. Sparkling pools, lush golf course views, palm trees swaying in the desert breeze, it certainly looks the part online. And, to be fair, the first impression doesn't disappoint. The lobby is bright, modern, and welcoming. You arrive thinking you've found a hidden gem. Then you walk past the lobby. That's where reality begins to set in. The guest rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very clean. We appreciated the housekeeping staff, who were consistently friendly and visible throughout our stay. That said, I wouldn't recommend paying extra for upgraded room categories. The patios, while generously sized, are furnished with weathered, worn, and in some cases broken furniture. Overall, the rooms are beginning to show their age and are approaching the point where renovations will be needed. The same can be said for the pool area. The water itself is crystal clear and inviting, but much of the surrounding deck furniture is faded, dirty, and in places damaged. The hot tubs could certainly use a thorough cleaning, and the tile around the pool has accumulated years of grime that gives the impression routine deep cleaning has been overlooked. None of these are major structural issues, a good pressure washing, fresh paint, and regular maintenance would dramatically improve the experience. The cabanas are another disappointment. At well over $300 on many days, they're priced like a luxury resort experience but come with very little to justify the cost. Not even bottled water is included, which feels rather stingy when compared with many nearby resorts that provide at least a few basic amenities. Adding to that, the pool can become quite crowded with day visitors using ResortPass, making it feel less exclusive for hotel guests. One point worth mentioning is the golf course. While "Golf Resort" is proudly displayed in the hotel's name, the course itself is actually operated by a separate company. It's scenic and well worth a visit if you play, but it isn't directly integrated into the hotel experience. You'll need to leave the hotel property and walk down the block to reach the clubhouse. Now for the positives, because there are a few. Despite the daily resort fee, complimentary self-parking is genuinely appreciated. No expensive valet. No confusing parking gates. Just park your car and get on with your holiday. Chris, the General Operations Manager, deserves special recognition. He was visible throughout the property, approachable, and clearly engaged with guests. That's something you rarely see these days and speaks well of the hotel's day-to-day leadership. The staff across the board were friendly, professional, and easy to find whenever assistance was needed. Yes, they're diligent about enforcing the pool rules, but always in a courteous and respectful manner. So, would I stay here again? For a long weekend, absolutely. For a week-long resort holiday, I'd probably explore some of the newer or recently renovated properties nearby if your goal is that polished luxury resort experience. This hotel has good bones. The location is convenient, the grounds are attractive, the rooms are comfortable, and the staff genuinely care. What's holding it back isn't poor service, it's deferred maintenance. With some investment in renovations, fresh furnishings, deep cleaning, and general upkeep, this could easily become one of the better resort properties in the area. Overall, I'd give DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Golf Resort Palm Springs 3 out of 5 stars. Comfortable? Yes. Friendly? Absolutely. Ready to be the premier desert resort its photos promise? Not quite... but it certainly has the potential.

First time in Palm Springs & being a Hilton Honors member I booked this location. Had to pay a $15…read moreupgrade fee for a mountain/pool view. Another perk is getting to select my room.that makes a big difference for me. The age of digital checking in is amazing, I was notified at noon that my room was ready. When I arrived I was already checked in and ready to go. Juan at the front desk gave us fresh chocolate chip cookies at check in & a bag of cookies with no nuts for me I must say, the room was spacious! The bath room has double sinks & that's always a bonus when traveling with a partner. Pull the line in the shower to hang your swim suit out for tomorrow . Beware the toilet is small, meaning very low. Didn't bother me but it was worth mentioning. The balcony view was spectacular. Got to spend time with snacks out there. We did eventually make it to the pool. Plenty of chairs for lounging & music made the afternoon lovely. Just what we needed. Hotel bar is open from 11 AM to 11 PM. Andrew and Carlos were attending bar this particular evening. We're very attentive, very friendly and very helpful with all of our decision-making even made sure to switch the game to the Dodgers for us.!! Retired to our room for a great nights sleep. Will definitely make this our new vacation spot.

The hotel is modern, clean, and nicely laid out, with a comfortable feel overall. The pool and…read morejacuzzi area are a nice bonus, although we did not use either since it was a cool evening when we arrived. The property is in a convenient location close to food options--though you will likely need a car to get around to restaurants and attractions. We stayed in a parking lot-facing room and found the noise to be very minimal. There was occasional hallway noise, but it really didn't impact our stay. The room itself was well stocked with towels and toiletries, and the bed and pillows were comfortable. It also had a fridge that kept our water bottles nice and cold overnight, plus a microwave that we didn't end up using. Breakfast was very good with plenty of options--potatoes, yogurt, cereals, oatmeal, toast, bagels, muffins, fresh fruit, and cut fruit. The waffle maker was a fun touch. They also had juices, coffee, and tea, and overall the breakfast spread was well stocked and we were very pleased with the quality and variety. Overall, this was a comfortable, clean, and easy stay with good amenities and solid value for the area--we would stay here again when visiting the area.

*Hilton For the Stay*…read more We live in Rancho Mirage and had experienced a major power outage that disrupted our service for multiple days, so we chose this hotel due to value and close proximity to our home. We enjoyed our stay and not hesitate being here again and will also recommend this property to family and friends. The hotel in general has a nice and welcoming feel. The 2 queen beds in room 326 need to be replaced. They're old, too soft & mushy and dip down like a sponge. The linens and pillows tho are great. The AC in room works well but it is too loud even on the lowest setting. But when it's 108 degrees outside... Bathroom has great lighting but needs a dimmer switch. Thankfully there's a sensor night-lite that helps. Nice big Samsung flatscreen smart tv with a very impressive channel lineup. There's also apps for Netflix, HBO Max, Apple+ so you can log into your account. Sandra, Dawn, and Alexandra at the front desk are wonderful and helpful. When I initially called and spoke with Sarah to inquire about availability, I asked if they offer "local discounts" and appreciate the savings offered. The girl working at the breakfast buffet (didn't get her name) was very kind and helpful. Housekeeping is friendly. The gym tho small is nice & clean and contains very good and top of the line equipment. A Peloton bike too. No one likes being displaced due to power outages, but we embraced the situation with Hilton Honors.

Love the color scheme of yellow, blues, and greens. My boyfriend and I's room was nice. Love the space. Cozy and comfortable. Yellow is the main character of the resort. From the room doors, outside umbrella, and towels. The pool was perfect. Not too deep 4ft I'm fine with that. The hot tub was 3ft and always group of men hanging out. Every day they have breakfast and lunch for the guests which is part of the deal. The resort is 20 minutes away from downtown Palm Springs which it's perfect. My first time visiting California and Palm Springs. I'm looking forward to coming back here in 2027.

We checked in late on Friday night at 9:45pm and the automatic doors were already locked, despite a sign saying they are locked at 10pm. Not really a big deal (just noteworthy) since the front desk quickly buzzed us in after ringing the bell. Check-in was efficient, albeit a bit cold. I wouldn't say it wasn't welcoming, but it certainly was goal oriented. Room keys, parking pass, wifi code. All that. Our room was nicely appointed- king bed, kitchenette, flatware, silverware, etc. If you wanted to cook a small meal, you easily could. Walls are a bit on the thinner side, but the fan from the a/c provided enough white noise so we were able to sleep. Their breakfast buffet runs from 7:30-10:30am. People were very covid conscious and kept their distance. Plenty of eating areas to chose from- outside by the pool, inside dining area, or even your room. So, the pros of this place- short version: Location (super quiet and tucked away in a suburban area) Mountain views from the room Well appointed room Firepits Plenty of parking Now the cons: No hot tub (for as nice as their outdoor area is, not having a hot tub would be a reason to explore other lodging options in Cathedral City) Later check out was a whole 30 minutes later than the original checkout time. Housekeeping didn't know we had a late checkout and knocked on our door at 11:25am. Not really a big deal but I wish there was better communication with between staff members. Four stars

So here's the thing. I don't always just go off of reviews, especially when it's a bunch of mixed…read moreones. Even though I saw a few posts indicating this place needed some upgrading, we still decided to check this place out. For the most part, it was ok. We stayed for one night, since we really just wanted a day away from home. Upon 'inspecting' our room when we got there, we immediately saw two baby...bugs..? by each a/c. Not dead, but pretty close to it..since their legs were still twitching. I gave it the benefit of the doubt since maybe...it was by the curtain and maybe the cleaning crew just missed it. But then there were also little crumbs by the couch. And a toddler's sock by the curtain in the room. Which leads me to think...okay, what exactly was cleaned in here when the last guests checked out? I soon didn't regret that we only planned to stay a night because I wasn't sure what else I'd find. Heck, it started to get to me that maybe the sheets weren't changed and were just fluffed up for the next guests (aka us). Should you stay here for your next visit? Hmm, up to you. However I'd keep my review in mind if you DO decided to stay. My findings were pretty miniscule, but that doesn't mean your findings would be.

MY 600TH REVIEW!!!!…read more I wanted to save #600 for someone special and Desert Star is the best! I was looking for a quality, reasonably priced hotel for a quick trip to Palm Springs and Yelp sent me the right way on this one for sure! These are just some of the things we loved: -calm atmosphere without being stuffy -bikes to use while you are there -bungalows with all the cooking facilities to make you feel at home -postcards pre-stamped in the room so we could write our friends -super stylish digs -nicely maintained pool area with fire pit -our own private patio with fire pit and BBQ -really, really sweet hosts who made us feel totally at home I just can't say enough good things about out experience. I have stayed at some super expensive 5 star hotels all over the world and nothing compared to this. This is hands down my favorite place I have ever stayed. When I am stressed out and wanting a vacation, being at the Desert Star is what I fantasize about!
