My friend and I stayed many times in the large Albert Frey room (deluxe downstairs room, two Queen beds, patio, kitchen, next to pool, etc., etc) and loved it. I just made reservations for next year in the same room. This is the only place my friends and family stay in Palm Springs. read more

I'm not sure what happened to this place (read: I don't want to completely blame the new owners) but this feels more like a decaying museum to midcentury modern than the vibrant, fun hotel it thinks it is. My gf & I have stayed here a handful of times but our recent visit revealed many issues. Our room had no blinds. Apparently a part broke. I told two people, one at each hotel, and was told they'd send maintenance. Nobody ever came...but the sun sure did, at 5:34 AM. Not my usual vacation wake up time. When I asked again I finally got an answer: the blinds broke and they also aren't able to fix them right now. Thankfully, they upgraded us over to the La Serena Villas next door, the sister property. They get a glowing review. But then, why is this property so neglected? The rooms looks dingy. Our walls had marks all over them. Dusty floors. Things broken or clearly in need of some love. Awful music blaring by the pool. Seriously, who the hell is streaming this crap? They used to have a cool social happy hour in the lobby, and breakfast there in the morning. You still get the breakfast...but now it's next door. Like the service. I'd like to say we'll be back but unless this place gets a serious enema I don't see it happening. read more

It is a small motel with large hotel pricing No front desk service most of the day Next door sister hotel answers the phone if you need anything No phones in the room Old/dingy bathroom Old, scratchy towels Kitchen cabinets barely open because they are barely hanging on They texted me every day about room cleaning times then do not show up unless you call to request Our tv did not work l. They tried to help then said oops your tv is outdated, missing the correct remote, and it's only this room The pool had an entire layer of dirt and dead bugs every single day- never saw anyone cleaning it No phone in the room Very dusty floors No body wash or conditioner in the shower- empty Beds were comfortable Very very expensive Old/outdated/not well maintained read more

Del Marcos hotel had amazing staff and great service! The hotel itself adhered to the historical mcm architecture which we loved. Pool was perfect temperature, great escape to relax. read more

Del Marcos Hotel sits just south of downtown Palm Springs and is extremely walkable. About 7 minutes to Ponzu and 5 minutes to Rooster and the Pig, with most popular restaurants close enough that you can skip the car entirely. December is a great time to visit Palm Springs with temps in the 70s and 80s and fewer crowds, and like much of the city, the hotel is dog friendly (and adults only). The property is small, roughly 20 rooms over two stories, all centered around a heated saltwater pool that serves as the social hub. Check-in is more inconvenient than difficult. There is no front desk at Del Marcos, so you must go next door to the sister property, La Serena. You will get to know La Serena well because that is also where continental breakfast is served. If you were hoping to roll out of bed in pajamas and grab breakfast onsite, think again unless street side loungewear is your thing. Breakfast itself is underwhelming and consists of yogurt, fruit, nuts, juice, coffee, and pre-wrapped muffins. The restaurant manager at La Serena was kind enough to let us take breakfast back to our room, which was appreciated. You can pay extra for a plated breakfast, which looked much better and several guests opted for it. The room experience is where things start to slide. For the resort fee, the amenities promised do not match reality. The so-called state of the art heating and cooling unit looked decades old. There was visible mold or mildew on the faucet, cold and dated flooring, and a patio that clearly had not been rinsed or refreshed before our arrival. The outdoor cushions had mold spots and should probably be removed during rainy months. Walls are thin, so downstairs rooms will hear upstairs neighbors walking and running water. Parking is limited to about 10 shared spaces between both properties, otherwise you are on the street. Be careful opening your car door near the raised curb or you and your vehicle will both learn a lesson. We booked the suite with the outdoor bathtub and surprisingly, it was fully functional and absolutely magical. Bathing outside in warm desert air with full privacy and a gas fire pit nearby was the highlight of the stay. That experience alone bumped the room up to about a 2.5 or 3 out of 5 for location, pool, and novelty. However, the lack of cleanliness, attention to detail, thin walls, missing TV remote, and absence of staff onsite make it hard to justify the price. Would we stay again? Maybe if the rate were significantly lower. Guests stay here for location, not luxury. If you want basic, dog friendly accommodations and can manage expectations, Del Marcos works. If you want spa like comfort and actual amenities, book the sister property next door. read more

Ruben is the BEST!! they didn't have rooms at la serena so we ended up staying at del marco's... you get continental breakfast included and everything was clean and comfortable... but the best part was the welcome prickly pear champagne drink!! very nice touch.. thanks for everything Ruben.. they're lucky to have you read more

So sad what has become of this once cherished small boutique hotel. Wife and I used to come here 3x per year as a two night getaway. Del Marcos was always clean, staff professional, happy hour drinks superb and breakfast was great. We have since stopped coming since the new owners took over. Del Marcos is now a shell of its former self. No longer clean, staff doesn't care, rooms falling apart and it's just run down. So sad, we are trying new places now because Del Marcos is just a huge disappointment. read more

Such a dissapointed experience. No one at the front desk. So you have to call the hotel next door. The pool is filthy. There are no towels. Everything is still left out all over the pool deck from the day before. Dirty glasses and towels and food. Friends of mine have stayed here before. But this place is just trashy. The photos online make the rooms look great. They are falling apart. So disappointing. read more

Awful experience - avoid this place at all costs. We recently stayed at Del Marcos Hotel as a party of two, and the experience was deeply disappointing. Here's a breakdown of the issues we faced: No On-Site Reception: Upon arrival, we discovered there was no one at the reception desk. To speak to someone, we had to walk to a neighboring hotel (which apparently has acquired Del Marcos). Dirty Room: Our room was dirty upon check-in, with pee left in the toilet. This set a terrible tone for our stay. Pool Lights: On the first night, the pool lights were off. Again, we had to go to the other hotel to ask for assistance in turning them on. Double-Charged: Despite prepaying for our stay, we were charged again upon arrival for 2 more nights. Luckily, we caught this, and the staff blamed it on transitioning to a new system. Shockingly, they refused to check this on their end. Dangerous Hair Dryer: The hair dryer in our room was burning hot and clearly dangerous. It's worth being extremely cautious if you decide to stay here. Smoke Detectors Without Batteries: To our shock, the smoke detectors in the room had their batteries removed. Considering the faulty electronics we encountered, this is a serious safety hazard. Functional smoke detectors are a basic necessity, and their absence is deeply concerning. Old AC Units and TV: The AC units and TV in our room were relics from the '90s. The AC barely worked, and the TV was old, small, and lacked basic functionality you'd expect in any modern hotel. Room Condition: A missing frame left a needle sticking out of the wall, with a large stain where the frame had been. One bathrobe was missing, and we were only given two towels for our entire stay. Subpar Breakfast: The "coffee and light bites" offering each morning was laughable. By 10 a.m., the coffee was gone, and the bagels were stale--likely leftovers from previous days. Amenities Downgrade: They no longer offer the free happy hour that was advertised, which was another disappointment. Room Change Issues: After complaining about our initial room's condition, we were moved to another room. Unfortunately, the hot water didn't work, and it took four hours to get it fixed. Rude Staff: The staff were consistently rude throughout our stay. They barely said hello, even after we greeted them first. They screamed at each other while talking and showed a complete lack of professionalism. To make matters worse, they spoke in other languages behind our backs, assuming we wouldn't understand what they were saying--highly unprofessional and disrespectful behavior. Manager's Behavior: Holly, the manager, blatantly lied about the issues we raised and showed zero empathy throughout the ordeal. Lack of Accountability: We addressed all these issues directly with the staff in person, only to realize they genuinely do not care. They looked at us with a dismissive attitude, offering nothing more than a casual "Sorry, it happens :-)". Old, Crooked Bikes: The bikes they offer are not only old and crooked, but there are only two bikes for two hotels. So, there's a very high chance you won't even get to use them, which makes the whole offering feel like a joke. Water Leak Incident: While we were waiting to complain about some of our room problems, we witnessed a couple being moved to another room because a water leak had ruined their belongings. This only added to the overall feeling of negligence and poor management at this hotel. Considering the unsafe conditions, unprofessional behavior, and utter disregard for basic hospitality, I honestly believe this place owes me for the time and effort I've put into this review. Perhaps then they could start living up to the name "hotel." Until then, I strongly advise avoiding Del Marcos Hotel at all costs. read more

We stayed here, utilizing the Hotels Tonight app. I felt the price was very reasonable, and it was anticipated to be a quick stay. Best things: Las Sirenas, sister prop next door, has an excellent bar. See review for Azucar. The customer service at check in was fantastic. The woman at the counter really goes out of her way to start your experience off right. She was very patient with my repeated stupid questions! The room decor was so nice. I felt like it was fresh & clean. The beds are comfortable. The pool was sparking & other travelers seemed to really enjoy it. The in room instant coffee, with the tea kettle, always a great idea! I'm not a fan of drinking coffee pushed thru the plastic Keurig, or plastic filter packs, which seem to be the norm. I was pleasantly surprised. The location is really excellent. You can Lyft/Uber to many places, and if you can tolerate the heat, the walk to the main drag is really short. The lobby has more coffee, and a muffin/ yogurt breakfast. Could be better: Only one wash cloth for 2 people. No coffee cups in the room in order to prepare the instant coffee. The wall ac was struggling to keep the room cool. Getting ready in the bathroom was tough. No one wants to feel sweaty immediately after showering. I will say however, that the AC points to the bed, so sleeping was fine. When you go to check in, it is not clear where to go. The main lobby of the Del Marcos was locked, and when we called ( twice) the phone rang & rang. Another guest who saw our confusion, told us where to go, which was at the sister property. On check out day, the one staff member was shouting to another colleague, just outside our door. It was not just like "hey" is was a full blown conversation, in caps! Since is was barely 7 am, I was not thrilled with the rooste It seems to me that is would be common sense to consider that guests might want to sleep in a bit. None of these issues would stop me from retuning, but it was the reason I went with 4 vs 5 stars. I also feel the if I would have called the desk for coffee cups, wash cloths etc...they would have taken care of it. I would return. I'm a bargain traveler, and this place feels nice. I have stayed at many other 3-4 star rated places in the area, and this by far was my best experience. read more

The website recently received a much needed overhaul, which is great to see because booking was a nightmare (directly & 3rd-party). Very nice job on the site . We bunkered down here during Hurricane Hillary. It was an adequate shelter but not the functional & convenient stay we envisioned for a $40/night resort fee. For comparison, that's 25-40% of room rates--quite steep-- for services, amenities, & staff we didn't have access to. The important ones (massage therapists, restaurant, spa services, etc) are actually facilitated by the sister property next door. It's a strange fee structure. CHECKIN & SERVICE Positive checkin experience, albeit lengthy due to all the information to cover. No fee for early checkin & uncovered parking is available ( didn't use). ROOM (s) This property has accumulated many awards & popular mentions but the rooms were not in the best of shape. That made the disappointment more potent than expected: paint chipping/cracks, lots of rust in the bathrooms (no ventilation & windows sealed), leaky AC units, dead pests. We tried two rooms: "William Cody Corner Room" & "Hope & Crosby Room". Functionally, neither was designed for us (average height & weight Americans): small robes & hotel stock, low door knobs, tiny fixtures. The patios provide a great view & have seating options with more traditional/modern sizing. WI-FI Good Wi-Fi for remote work is important to me so this was a surprising reprieve & I wish there were more incentive to stay longer. Nerd stats: 143-180 Mbps down 123-136 Mbps up 0% packet loss 16 ms latency 3 ms jitter Performance: Video streaming - good Online gaming - average Video chatting - good FOOD & DRINKS Receptionist was really nice on the phone & enthusiastic to provide info on GF items since I have multiple food allergies. She advised that due to road closures they had low staffing & were running a limited menu & would transfer me directly to the restaurant to discus GF menu items but call went unanswered. This was the norm for phone service. VERDICT I really wanted to like this place and spend a week or so exploring different rooms, but it's more of a passing-through/novelty experience IMO. The views are very picturesque & if you're into boutique hotels with deep & rich history, then it's worth a look, but not an extended stay 2/5 read more

I would not recommend staying here just because the fire pit was not working, leaking gas and the room had a bad smell from it. There's hardly anyone at the front desk so it's hard to get a problem resolved. The room was a little bit dirty. The only reason for staying here is because it's close to the clubs. If planning on staying here rooms are $300.00 to $400.00 a night. read more

We stayed here when we need a week of down time from the busy life, no kids, no screaming, no teenagers. Was a fantastic place

It saddens me to write this because our first experience was absolutely amazing, this trip was very disappointing. I've held off on this review for awhile to make sure I wasn't just annoyed with minor inconveniences, those irritations and let downs never went away. We arrived a bit late, about 10 minutes before the front desk closes, but the attitude of the dude who checked us in was kind of horrible. I felt like we were interfering with him leaving, it was a cold quick welcome and here's your room. I get it, your off at 5 and want to go home but friendliness goes a long way. When I went to check out he had the same bad attitude. I was waiting at the front desk a good 8-10 minutes before anyone came out from the back room then it was a quick your checked out see you next time - probably not. Flash forward to Friday morning when the camera crew arrives, yes camera crew. The new owner thought it would be a great idea to film and shoot drone video of the property while guest are trying to relax. Nothing says relaxation like a drone flying over the pool when you are just trying to be ok with your Tony Soprano summer body and now you may end up on social media and a website. There was no mention of this at check-in, no hey by the way emails were sent, no communication at all about this. If I had known this was happening I would have cancelled and booked another hotel where I could enjoy my vacation in peace. It was a huge inconvenience, we left the property for awhile only to come back to some a-hole camera dude's "we are filming here" ,"comment. Well bro we are paying to stay here and no one told us about this BS so deal with it. BTW the people in your videos need to have signed a legal waiver allowing you to use images of them - you didn't do that, you didn't even ask. After that experience we started noticing every little thing that was wrong. The hotel needs some updating and repairs. Pool furniture is left out damaged, chairs are torn and guests still were using them. I kept getting a sinking feeling on one and it was because the entire side was ripping, that chair was left out the next day. Our bathroom needed major renovations, tons of water damage on the bathroom vanity, the door didn't close, the shower floor was moldy. The entire floor in our room needed a good scrub, it was sticky and left black stains on our feet and slippers. Food ordered at the pool wasn't collected until the next day, it just sat outside all night. It was a bunch of small things that just added up over time and we began to question the price point of the hotel. When we stayed a year before we didn't notice any of these things. I'm not sure if it's due to the recent change of ownership or just lack of caring but things need to be changed. I realize it's expensive to run a hotel but when pool chairs and bathrooms start showing signs of wear and tear it's time to replace and repair. The only bright spot is Rose who continues to do an amazing job, it's too bad the other staff that works that desk when she's not there is not the same. Neither the other girl or the dude were friendly or attentive, it just kinda sucked. Honestly I don't know if we will be back. I can kind of ignore the wear and tear, it happens everywhere. But the new owner violating privacy and interrupting vacations to get new photos kind of tells me what I need to know about what's to come of this place. They don't care about guests, they care about money and getting people in the door. What happens after is none of their concern. read more

My first time in Palm Springs, and i had the honor of staying at this hotel for the weekend. Just about two blocks from downtown Palm Springs, this is definitely the place to be. It has a pool, ample parking spaces and very friendly staff who are available to accommodate your needs. They also serve margaritas during happy hour between 5-7pm. They also have some snacks and fruit on the table if you want to grab a bite. If you want to rent a cruiser bike a out, just fill out a form and youre set - you can borrow a helmet if you want one. When booking your room, indicate that you have a pet with you because there are some rooms that are more pet friendly than others. I havent seen what the other rooms look, but its also for the purposes of cleaning and whoever the next guest will be staying in the room. Its just courtesy so the person who stays in the non-pet room isnt allergic to pets and so they can clean differently for pets. I stayed in probably one of the larger rooms. I think it was the Desert Oasis Room. It comes with an outdoor patio - the walls are kinda high, so you wont be able to see outside, but you do get a dose of sunshine without the other people. It also has a full size fridge - refrigerator and freezer already cool and ready to be stuffed. A kitchenette - microwave, stove, oven, yup - you get all those. The cupboards have glasses, plates and stuff for your dishes. Internet - you can stream some movies, too! username and password is on the cards on the round table when you enter. Bathroom - its a stand shower, and its stocked with everything you need and a dryer if you forget a toothbrush, they were able to provide. A walk-in closet - yup, definitely feels like home. I wish I had stayed for more than a weekend. The pool stayed warm, there was a side to just lounge at - towels at your leisure and its just chill to be here. In the lobby, they have board games you can borrow and use for your guests and family. You can take it to your room, too and play with the board games there. They provide complimentary breakfast. The usual stuff, fruits, cereal, oatmeal, juice and coffee. Overall, im very happy i booked this place. Im looking to come back here again and stay longer. read more

Great boutique hotel! Very clean grounds and rooms. Love the mid century vibe!! Our room was awesome, it faced the pool and had great views. Every morning breakfast burritos were served as they were delicious! They also had other offerings as well. They have a nightly happy hour from 5 to 6 with drinks and charcuterie. Fantastic location as well, only two blocks from downtown. Bikes were also available to ride around which was a lot of fun. We will be staying here again.l!! Laura and Aaron were very helpful and fantastic! read more

Del Marcos Hotel - Pool - Hotels Near Me - Palm Springs, California

It's so sad that this place has been destroyed by being sold to a chain. What was once a charming, customer-centric home away from home is now a soulless, hollow cog. They used to have wonderful attentive front desk staff that is now replaced by anonymous texts and notes saying "We're away from the desk right now"...and no help or service whatsoever. They used to have an amazing breakfast with hot food from the restaurant next door, fresh fruit, and juices, now they have a carafe of coffee and some stale granola. They used to have a great happy hour with cocktails, wine, snacks, and a chance to meet and chat with other guests...now they have...nothing. The Del Marcos has gone from an independently owned little gem to a soulless, heartless link in a chain, it is the Taco Bell of hotels. We used to come here once or twice a year but will never be back. read more

Had the best stay in April here this year! Super cute and last minute pick but SO happy we did. Very intimate, the front desk lady is a boss b*tch, handles the hotel like home. The rooms very spacious, clean, and cute. Pool vibes were it and the mid day happy hour w/drinks and little snacks-so appreciated. The mini breakfast that they provided-Berry cups, hard boiled eggs, mini breakfast burritos. Will def be back read more

Del Marcos Hotel - Pool side DelMarcos - Hotels Near Me - Palm Springs, California

I stayed here last year and it was AWESOME. They had a complimentary breakfast that was to die for, it included champagne, and one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. They also offered a happy hour where all the guests could mingle. It honestly felt like a different time. They accomplished the MCM feel with aplomb. I'm planning a trip back, and I immediately went to book Del Marcos again, but I noticed it said they are now a Kirkwood Property. In fear I ran straight to yelp, and my fears were immediately confirmed. From the reviews it would appear that everything that made this hotel stand out is gone. PLUS IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE. I know that sometimes someone's experience may have been an off day, so I called to check. The person I spoke to was very nice, but he confirmed that the experience they used to offer is no more. It is now more inline with a standard Holiday Inn. So now I have to find a new favorite. read more

I have stayed at a couple dozen properties in the 20 years I have been coming to Palm Springs. The past couple years, I have found it challenging to find accommodation that really suits my needs. When choosing where I'm going to stay, the most important factors I consider are cleanliness, friendliness of staff, a quiet peaceful location, charm & ambiance and great bang for the buck. The Del Marcos Hotel not only meets my criteria it far exceeds anything I could have hoped for in almost every category.. Like most, I read many reviews before making my decision. Now having stayed at the Del Marcos Hotel, I can say all of great reviews are accurate. It is by far my favorite place to stay in Palm Springs. If you are looking for the perfect place for your Palm Springs trip, look no further than the Del Marcos Hotel . It could not be more ideally located. You are literally close to everything and within walking distance. The hotel is in the heart of Palm Springs and its ideal location is just off of the main drag. The property itself is unique, pristinely clean, quiet, beautifully decorated and maintained offering everything you need and more in a hotel. The 17-room property is nestled up against the San Jacinto mountain/s with many rooms offering a panoramic mountain view. The other rooms are conveniently poolside. They serve a delightful continental breakfast every morning in the lobby. This is not the sparce standard continental breakfast now pretty much ubiquitous which has a few generic bulk cereals, coffee, juice, a piece of fruit and maybe if you are lucky a slice of toast or a bagel. The continental breakfast here at the hotel included organic yogurt, coffee, juice, homemade gourmet muffins, two different types of handmade breakfast burritos and much more. There is also a afternoon happy hour. They have a nice selection of beer, wine and each day offer their specialty cocktail of the day. Two of the days I was here, I tried the watermelon margaritas and then a fresh Berry vodka cocktail. The homemade guacamole and chips was delicious as well as the salsa. They also had hummus with pita, and a mini charcuterie plate. The best part of this hotel is the employees. I was warmly greeted my first day by Rose who immediately made me feel at home, was so kind, helpful and sincere in wanting to make sure my stay was going to be the best possible. And, it was. . Thanks so much for everything Rose. Also, a shout out needs to go to Ben who helped me on my last day with check out. Without hesitation, he let me keep my luggage and belongings in back while I stayed and hung out at pool with some fellow guests 5 hours beyond check out. This place really rocks. From what I have heard and seen, you really can't go wrong with any room you choose. They are all unique and individualized. I stayed in the Desert Oasis deluxe room. I had my own personal little Lanai off the main room and the opposite side was the main door leading to the pool while also looking over the mountains in the background.. I had a full kitchen a huge amazingly comfortable king bed. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did. Already booked the room coming back in a couple months. read more

I've been coming to the Del Marcos Hotel for 20+ years. Ignore the negative reviews around the change of ownership, it's the same great experience. A bit more expensive but prices had been creeping up even before the change in ownership. Post pandemic inflation. Eliminating the happy hour is not a big deal - there's plenty of liquor stores within blocks and all the rooms have refrigerators. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. read more

How Sad. My favorite hotel in Palm Springs has been ruined. Prior to the property being sold I stayed here dozens of times.

Thanks a lot Kirkwood! read more

This hotel has the most expensive and restrictive dog policy I've ever seen. We travel with our dogs often and use dog friendly hotels. This hotel has a $100 per pet per night charge. We stayed over the weekend and paid an extra $400 for the privilege of traveling with our dogs. Right before we left for Palm Springs we received their rules around having a dog there. Aside from the $200 a night fee to have two geriatric chihuahuas, we were told that leaving the dogs in the room would result in a $250 fee. Also you can't walk the dog through their lobby. However they did provide what seemed to be a reasonably priced dog sitter. We called the dog sitter three times over the week and never received a response. We've stayed at 5 star hotels where they would give us a doggie bed and treats along with a list of dog friendly venues. This is by far the highest per night pet fee and most restrictive rules I've seen. With all the fees the room cost just under $1600 for two nights. Other stuff, the room is pretty and the kitchenette was cool. The shower is a bit eccentric and appears to be original. The refrigerator's door opens in the wrong direction. The TV is very old and difficult to turn off. If you don't walk across the room to physically turn it off the screen stays on. The continental breakfast was coffee, tea, yogurt, and hard boiled eggs. All in all the place gives a super eccentric AirBNB vibe for a high price. read more

The Del Marcos used to be one of my favorite hotels. This past stay was disappointing to say the least. The hotel had texted asking how my stay was and I responded (text string below). I did not receive a response. When we checked out of the hotel, I let the staff person know that I had sent a text with my issues and she said she would check and get back to me. I'm still waiting for a response... In sum - the room was dirty, the room amenities were lacking and the service that I had received in the past wasn't there. The lobby of the hotel was usually locked with a sign telling guests to go to their sister property next door for assistance (the staff there was very friendly & helpful). The included breakfast was coffee/tea, yogurt, muffins, whole fruit - in my past stays there had been fresh juice, champagne, cereal, berries. It appears they have done away with the afternoon happy hour cocktail & snacks as well. My guess is that once the hotel was sold to a chain that the personal attention that comes with a "mom & pop" run business went away which is truly unfortunate as that really made the Del Marcos feel special. Hotel Text: On a scale of 1-10 (10 being excellent), how happy are you with your stay? We are looking forward to receiving your feedback! My Response: As for my happiness with the stay, I'm going to say it's about a 7. The room doesn't really feel clean. I found a used qtip (not ours) on the floor in the bathroom. The bathroom and kitchen floors don't look clean. Based on the color of the bottom of my white socks, I would say none of the floors are clean. One of the bathroom towels has seen better days. It's pretty ragged. The shampoo amenity was mostly empty which I didn't find out until I was in the shower. Our safe doesn't work (I was going to text you about that) The guests next door were either smoking or vaping weed when we arrived-the smell was I've stayed here twice before, Aug 2022 was my last stay, and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. The hotel feels like it needs some love. I adore this hotel and really hope it is getting the attention it needs Check in at the La Serena was fantastic. Quick, friendly and attentive. read more

This is long overdue! I stayed at the Del Marcos a couple weeks before the shelter in place orders took effect in late Feb/early March. The front desk staff were super friendly and helpful.

I had an outdoor bathtub and personal fire pit. Heavenly! Cannot wait to come back! read more

Love this hotel. It's small, quiet, comfortable and has everything you need. Rose was the front desk attendant/ face of the hotel / concierge for 2 of the 3 days we spent there and she is lovely. She's warm, welcoming, helpful, and a truly a nice person. From check-in until her end of shift she made us feel at home while working hard to keep everything as it should be. Always towels at the pool. Rose brought out the best happy hour snacks! The beds were comfy, rooms very clean. We didn't have one complaint. If you want quiet, quaint, relaxing, this is the place. And Azucar the restaurant next door is amazing (& pricey). Also super walkable...one block from main strip. read more

We absolutely LOVED the Del Marcos hotel! Our room was perfect and so cool. We got the Cody room which faced the street and I adored it. The interior walls were made of stone and the architecture was delightful. We had our two dogs with us, and it wad perfect because just outside our room there was a grassy Knoll. The pool was heated which made it super comfortable and the happy hour was a nice welcome to our stay. Don't think twice because the views are spectacular. read more

We absolutely LOVED our stay at the Del Marcos Hotel in Palm Springs. We booked the Julius Schulman room to ride out "Hurricane Hillary" and it was perfect. Plush bedding, floor to ceiling windows, a nice view of mountaintops and palm trees, and a fantastic location walking distance to downtown. The staff was wonderful and dinner at the sister hotel restaurant, Azucar, was fantastic. We were very happy with our stay and the reasonable price point (granted it was the off-season). Would definitely recommend. read more

A special post and thank you to Rose! The hospitality was my favorite part about my stay. A very nicely appointed hotel, lovely peaceful pool and I can't rave enough about the swordfish tacos! Definitely my new favorite spot in the desert, can't wait to visit again soon! read more

I had such a lovely stay here a few days ago and I couldn't be happier that I booked at Del Marcos. This property is charming, historical, well kept and CLEAN with such welcoming hospitality. The location can't be beat with stunning mountain views, in a quiet area off downtown Palm Springs. DO book here if you're looking for a relaxing stay at a charming older property where staff treats you like you're staying in their home. Start the day off with their complimentary continental breakfast and take one of their house bikes out for a spin on the beautiful streets surrounding. Relax by the pool at this 21+ property and soak up the rays. Happy hour is great! They offer complimentary beverages as well as a nice variety of appetizers. It's very clear that this is the type of hotel that people continue to come back to year after year. Lots of good vibes and happy memories. The staff is eager to give recommendations on things to do in the area, so take them up on it! There's only 17 rooms, and all of them have awesome views of the pool and mountains! Everything was spotless! Thank you for the amazing stay! I can't wait to come back. read more

We stayed in the Oceans 11 Suite. The whole experience was wonderful and super comfortable and clean. Hanging out by the pool was so relaxing! The day we got in, the receptionist saw I was pregnant and gave us some sparkling cider since I couldn't drink what was out for their happy hour. I thought that was so cute and sweet of her. In the mornings they gave us muffins and other small snacks and drinks. Overall we had a great time, and the hotel was only a short walk away from the strip! We didn't need to drive anywhere for the entire trip which was great. read more

This hotel will be a perfect choice if you want to ruin your vacation or if you enjoy feeling unwelcome while dealing with extremely rude, unaccommodating, and unprofessional staff. Don't trust what you see in pictures. All of them are filtered to create a Pinterest/Instagram 'vibe,' but in reality, the only vibe here is negativity, unwelcoming, and inhospitable. And nothing is like what's shown in the pictures. I would not recommend staying here at all. For this price, you can easily find something better. Even a $100 motel would be less disappointing. Avoid the entire Kirkwood Collection hotels branch. The pictures are filtered and fake. read more
