Our 1st time to Palm Springs. Chose this hotel based on the excellent reviews and intimate feeling. Did not disappoint!! Secluded, rooms surround the pool/patio area. Carlos and John, the hosts, are so friendly and helpful. We stayed in the "Pink Room". I wish I could live in it! So roomy and inviting. We spent a lot of time there since it was 122 outside. That and in the amazing pool. They provide a cocktail and appetizer in the evening (Carlos even served to us while we relaxed in the pool) and a tasty breakfast at a time you can choose. Can't wait to go back there when the temp outside is not so brutal. read more

This place is a true gem, maybe a hidden gem due to the negative reviews as of lately. 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. read more

While looking for a hotel to stay during my weekend getaway Rendezvous stood out because there a lot of amenities with no resort fees! That was the biggest plus. 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. read more

This is our 3rd time staying here. The FINAL TIME, I might add. Our last visit was back in early 2019 before it had been sold over and over again. It use to be so nice with a couple who owned and or managed it well. A nice happy hour with wine and snacks. Along with a hot cooked breakfast with a daily menu change. Rooms were cleaned daily with fresh towels. Now there's NOTHING! Not to mention it's a total dump. Dirty, rotted wood everywhere, broken glass, the exterior is peeling, the awning to welcome you is completely tattered and broken, trash in the parking areas, broken door handles, the bathroom was disgusting, etc... It's a complete DUMP! Do not waste your money. No more happy hour (well unless you want this-Pace picante sauce from a jar with stale chips and slushy margarita mix without tequila. The chips, salsa, and "margarita" mix were still sitting out for guests to "ENJOY" the next morning! It had been sitting out uncovered for over 15 hours! GROSS! No wonder why they're stale! Our original reservations were set and paid for April 2022. They canceled our reservations telling us they had to close for renovations until November! So we thought we'll wait until they're done. NO RENOVATIONS we're ever done! This place use to be a hidden gem. Do yourself a favor and stay at a Motel 6. At least it's updated and clean. Not to mention about 1/3 of the price. We paid $500 for two nights. Oh, and there's no one working the desk (at least from morning to around 3pm) so you're on your own if you need anything. The front desk guy is very nice, but this shit show place is out of his control. I feel bad for him! read more

OK, so there are places that are great and places that are ok and places that aren't very nice. This is the first hotel I've stayed at that falls into the "avoid at all cost" category. It's not that it's dirty or uncomfortable or anything like that. The rooms are reasonably clean, there's a nice pool that's well kept up, a common room where you can brew a cup of coffee in the Keurig, etc. Read on for the fatal flaws. My wife and I came out to Palm Springs to join four other couples. We all wanted a reasonably priced hotel we all could stay at that was within walking distance of restaurants, bars, etc. One of the group saw the exemplary ratings the Rendezvous had earned (in the past) and suggested we make it our base for out trip. Indeed, there are tons of great reviews for the Rendezvous and it had won awards from Trip Advisor and such. It appears, though, that the place recently changed ownership and plummeted in quality in disastrous fashion. (And they haven't bothered to change their Business Info on Yelp. Do NOT expect any kind of breakfast, happy hour, or spa service as they do not provide these.) As a matter of fact, forget any review done prior to mid-2021. This place went from 5 to 1 star right around then. A list of the problems: 1) Lack of security. I won't go into this in detail, but anyone staying at the hotel could have gotten into anyone else's room anytime, day or night. Really. Had the hotel not been pretty much completely occupied by our group of five couples, we'd have left before our first night there. 2) Lack of anyone onsite to check people in, deal with problems, ask you how your stay is, etc. They appear to have tried to set up an automated system in which you download a photo of your driver's license and a selfie to deal with the requirement that they ID everyone staying at the hotel. Once that happens, you're supposed to get an access code to get into the hotel. Of course, we didn't. Fortunately, one of our group got that code from another guest. Really. The next day, I received a cheery text asking me how my stay was going. When I replied with a request for another room key, I received no reply. Until the next day when i got another cheery text asking me how my stay was going. (I didn't bother replying to that one.) At no point during our four day stay did we see anyone connected with the hotel except the person who came and cleaned the pool. 3) Smaller problems included concrete floors with no rugs. No creamer of any kind in the coffee area. A laundered but badly stained towel in our bathroom. A shower that didn't work in one of our friend's rooms (they were moved to another room after calling management). In fairness, there were positive. Decent Keurig coffee, a nice pool area with a clean pool and a firepit. Nifty room decor. And that's it. There's a lot more that was completely unacceptable about our experience here/ But when I wrote it up in Word and copied it here, I was WAY over the character limit. Suffice it to say that this place is awful. This is sad, because it looks like it was a hoot to stay at in its heyday, but that day is gone. Bottom line: You can NOT run a business in the service sector without providing service. Perhaps the Rendezvous is trying to run an entirely automated hotel the way that some fast food places are trying to go completely automated. Well big surprise: this does not work. It's a terrible idea and it makes it appear that no one really cares at all about the hotel or its guests. And yeah, room security really does matter. Mike sez do NOT check it out under any circumstances. Adding a quick update to this one. After our stay at the Rendezvous, I was sent a survey regarding my experience there. I answered honestly, explaining the issues I had and the overall poor management of the hotel. A day or two later, I received an email stating that the hotel management was sorry that they did not meet my expectations and that they would be following up with me so "we can better understand what happened and how to be of help". That email came 3 1/2 weeks ago and I have yet to received their followup. What a surprise!! (If I do get a followup someday, I'll amend this to include it.) read more

Palm Springs Rendezvous - The many awards won by the Rendezvous in the past. Don't expect to see anymore of these! - Hotels Near Me - Palm Springs, California

How rare it is to find a place that has a solid five star rating, but Rendezvous deserves it! We've stayed at many of the wonderful boutique hotels in Palm Springs (EXPENSIVE ONES), and this is my favorite. It has everything that we desire and more! More than a hotel, it has a wonderful, charming B&B feel to it. So many sweet details... candy jars in the rooms, complimentary waters, coffee... The rooms - only ten of them - are very beautifully decorated in an Art Deco style. We chose this specific room the Silverscreen room, because it looked romantic to me... it has a large, beautiful jacuzzi tub. We got in late after 6:00 pm (our 3 hour drive became a 7 hour one, UGH), and we were relieved to find very easy parking out front and an easy self-check in. After settling in, we did a little exploring. There are wonderful places to sit around the pool, including a fire feature and jacuzzi. We went to the lounge and found chocolate chip cookies, a pop corn machine, oatmeal, and other munchies some of which we took back to our room. The lounge also has a multitude of dvds that you can choose from to take back to watch in your room. I picked two, and also a book from their library. Now this is why I say this is really more of a B&B because in the morning we were served breakfast from our charming hosts Wayne and David. You would expect cereal, maybe fruit, but here, they really do something substantial .... a three course breakfast! First, a blueberry smoothie with whipped cream (topped with love I'm told lol), a fruit parfait with blueberries and strawberries, AND a wonderful quiche with artichokes, spinach, sun dried tomatoes and cheese. I'm not a big quiche person, but I loved it and devoured mine, and considered taking some of Nick's who had absentmindedly left his within my reach. At 5:00 ish we rushed back to their social hour"/ Happy Hour where we were treated to a nice glass of wine and yummy sweet treats. One of the cool aspects of hanging out in the lounge is the opportunity to meet such interesting and kind folks- not only Wayne and David who work here, but the guests. Maybe we got lucky, but really enjoyed the people we happened to meet this trip. I am going to add more to this review later, but we are so happy with staying here, I wanted to write a review right away. xoxo read more

This should be a job posting to work at the hotel, cause you will be a non paid employee; like it or not. I choose this spot due to all the positive reviews, apparently there are new owners and things have definitely changed as of 9-9-2021 For starters, it's a bit desolate that includes staff and customers but don't fret as you'll pay the same rate as large hotels like the Marriott in Riverside at $130 per night. Also you can look forward to multiple texts to get you in the door and your work day begins by using the lock-box to get the key to enter the gate, then you'll also get more texts to push button unlock another door to get you into the hotel area and yet another to get into your room. Still no lunch break; you'll need to go back to the lock-box and put the key back in the lock-box for the next person's shift to start. Now that your on the clock, you'll need to sign in on your phone and agree to the regulations and rules plus you'll have to take a picture of your license and a selfie. You get to save the hotel money on paying staff to do all this work for you (wonder if they are even onsite at all or living off Yelp reputations from the prior owner) Now that your in the room, maybe your lucky enough like myself to sub par work done on the room in regards to paint and details. You'll also not have to worry about that pesky clock you need to wake up in the morning but alas the TV volume is soo low, you'll probably go to bed early since you can't hear the TV at 100% volume anyhow. You'll be told they look into it but I wonder if that's another non-paid employee's job cause they never fixed it. You'll also be on a diet, since FOOD is no longer offered due to Covid??? Cause I mean nobody eats during a pandemic right??? All in all if the price was maybe $60; might all be acceptable but soo many other places living on the 50's / 60's old Hollywood theme's, you'll probably find a better place. Side note: Those crowds that cared about the 50's/60's are dying off; so update to more current throw for 80's kids since that will be your new income if you survive. read more

BEWARE False Advertisement!!!!!! PLEASE DON'T STAY HERE... If i could leave negative stars i would this is the first review I've ever left and it truly saddens me to do so. I first found The Palm Springs Rendezvous back in 2019 where I have fond memories and actually had a wonderful experience. Back then the hotel was clean with fresh paint, fresh sheets& towels, clean rooms and hotel grounds were overall well kept with friendly staff to greet you. There was so much charm not only to the hotel but the amenities offered like nightly happy hour with snacks and a delicious breakfast in the morning( which wasn't "continental" but rather substantial). Clearly it's an old place but that vintage vibe can be charming and back then it absolutely was. Unfortunately what was a little gem is no longer that because this place atrociously has gone downhill. I was fully embarrassed because I brought my partner here wanting to share the good experience I had previously and it turned into a disappointing uncomfortable experience. We arrived on 3/18 and were set to check out on 3/20 but left the hotel 3/19 to another hotel where the cost per night was cheaper and accommodations much nicer and actually posh in comparison to the Rendezvous. We would've left way early on 3/18, but we were trying to "trouper through" the experience, but I personally reached my fill around 1am when I wasn't unable to sleep due to being so uncomfortable and Unfortunately it left us in a tough spot as finding accommodations that time of the night would be impossible so we were forced to stay. Sleep what's that because I didn't get any at all due to an impossible to turn off bright light shinning into the room actually all around the property as there was no one on site at all. I was extremely unhappy with the stay at the rendezvous and I will never go back. I've used the test system and emailed the hotel for a refund and I've had zero response. So not only was i stuck with paying for a hotel I didn't exactly stay in but no apologies from the hotel at all whatsoever. The positive reviews of how the hotel is now are complete false advertisement it's actually down right catfishing. Below I will list major issues I had with the conditions of the Rendezvous. I'll the issues are as follows: * A text system to "check you in" rather than an actual person. There was no staff on sight at all * Strong bleach smell upon entering the room (Room #8 the "Silver Screen" Room) The bleach smell remained throughout the entire stay even with all the windows being opened and numerous sprays of perfume and room spray to try and mask the smell. Sadly all throughout the night the smell persisted and actually ended up giving me a headache. * Stained and dirty towels hung up as new in the bathrooms * Blanket on bed had multiple mystery stains as well. * The light in the bathroom was so dim and horrible I could hardly get ready that night for dinner * Overall, the hotel is run down and very unkept.        *sign in front is falling apart and down * paint is peeling off in areas all over the hotel with lots of random unpleasant smells. Falling paint in an old establishment is actually a health hazard as much of the old paint in the past contained led and asbestos       * Found bits of fried chicken within the lounge chairs by the pool which were already covered with stains and dirt * The Jacuzzi was dirty and water was cloudy and made me itchy. After dinner I had put my feet in water but it being dark I was fully unaware of what I actually put my feet into until the next morning. I was utterly disgusted when I saw what I had my feet in the night prior * The lights outside of the room and all around the property were on all night we couldn't sleep, so at 1 am I walked around the property to see if I could turn it off myself but there was no luck. * Left sink in bathroom drained slowly and clogged  * Shower water slow to get hot        * Clubhouse areas with many dirt spots and dangerous broken glass slider. * overheard a convo about the cleaning people being angry they weren't being paid on time and had to front cost to clean the hotel. Well I don't even blame the cleaning people for not following any real cleaning standards because not being paid by a "hotel" contracting you to do so and they don't or not on time is unacceptable. read more

This once top notch place is completely run down and needs a serious facelift. The paint is peeling from the outside. The entryway awning is completely ripped apart and only the front remains. The rooms have decent furniture but the rooms need painted and a complete remodel. Sad to see this place in this condition. The new owners should close the place down and remodel the entire place. The only plus is Donald who works his rear end off. read more

Oh boy, my first review doesn't seem to have stayed up. This property is ROUGH. We arrived and had issues finding our room as it was around this side of the building and not off the courtyard. The room looked okay by motel 6 standard. Although it did appear the door had been kicked in and had been replaced improperly. (See Photos) After bringing this concern via text because this property has no staff people physically available we were offered the honeymoon sweet which was far worse for the wear than our original so we chose to keep it, just figured we put the piece of a sectional they'd used as a ches in front of the door. Then at 10pm the power went out so we finally decided to leave. While packing up the car, neighbors who lived on the street told us this was a scheduled black out and they'd all been informed by the power company. No one told us. After requesting a refund the text help promptly agreed. It's been almost three full weeks and we have not gotten the refund. read more

Palm Springs Rendezvous - Pool and floaties - Hotels Near Me - Palm Springs, California

Our visit at Palm Springs Rendezvous had some great things and not so great things. I'm really on the fence about this review for reasons you will see below, so I think a 2/5 is fair. Upon arriving during check in time, the gate was locked and we had to call to have someone let us in. We met Aurilia who is such a down to earth lady. We have no complaints about our hosts Aurilia and Anthony - they were fantastic and quite honestly the redeeming part of the visit. Both were cheerful and accommodating and made sure we were well looked after for breakfast time. Breakfast at the place must be booked the night before, and they try to work around any allergies, food intolerances and dislikes. Breakfast is a complete surprise until you are served - which I guess can be both bad and good. The complimentary hot breakfast portions are HUGE, in fact we had planned on eating lunch the two days and skipped in in lieu for an afternoon snack instead (yes, we were that full). While breakfast was good, the items are definitely not something I would normally have or order. We prefer to go a lot lighter in the morning. My husband loves sweets, and I love savory, so the alternating sweet and savory breakfast was a good compromise. The location is decent, and we had chosen this spot because we thought it would be nice and quiet for sleeping at night. There was unfortunately a perpetual traffic sound in the background which made it hard to sleep. The bed was ok, not the most comfortable, nor the least comfortable. The air conditioning worked well. The fridge/freezer was so incredibly noisy, again making it difficult to sleep. The room was clean-ish. It wasn't super clean, and it wasn't dirty. There was glitter all over the floor that seemed to track everywhere, there were faint stains on the bedding (it's not that it was dirty, it's those pesky stains that don't come out). The shower has a shelving unit with obvious rust, the clip to make your housekeeping choices was rusty as well. If you are looking for a nice hot shower, this is not the place for you. The shower is quite small, and you have to run the hot water tap only, which takes nearly 10 minutes to heat up (I'm not joking, I'm really not). The "hottest" the shower gets is just above luke warm, and don't even get me started on the lack of water pressure. The property wasn't full of guests, so I'm not sure why it was so hard to get hot water. The toilet has a slight running issue, but thankfully it only causes a faint noise. We did like the options to have the room fully cleaned, left alone or just the essentials. We did choose "just the essentials" during our stay, which was ok. The card indicated a basket would be left outside the room with fresh towels, water and treats. We did get the towels and water, but there were certainly no treats, so I can't vouch for those. I'm not sure if they still do the evening manager's reception as other reviews seem to mention - no one told us about it when we checked in and we didn't seem to notice anything like that during our stay. The grounds themselves are funny - the palm trees are beautiful, the pool is pristine and perfect. Unfortunately the rest of the grounds are in need of a massive overhaul. The stools and tables are tired, along with the raggedy outdoor carpet around the grounds. A fresh coat of paint would do the place well and the bar area is in desperate need of help. The sliding door to the breakfast area really should be replaced, it's definitely on its last leg. Fixtures around the the place look tired, and again a replacement would really spruce things up. Parking was ok. It was free, uncovered and unsecured. Unfortunately on our way out, there was a big amount of bird poo on the car, so we had no choice to hit the car wash before heading out of town. You can say this place has charm and it's supposed to portray the 50's era, but that also doesn't mean it should feel run down either. It also doesn't mean a hot shower should be an unrealistic expectation. I am hopeful the new innkeepers will turn this place around and give it a little more life it so desperately needs. We will keep our eye on an improvements, but in the current state I can't confidently say we would return. We have experienced better accommodations in Palm Springs for comparable pricing. read more

I made a reservation here because of the glowing reviews on here and also their website. However if you notice, all of the reviews are 5 out 5 stars. I realized after the fact that the lower rated reviews have been excluded. I left a review that wasnt 5 out of 5. I tried looking it up and it was nowhere to be found. I dont like this deception. All of the reviews should be posted. If I am wrong, I ask that you go on their website and find a review thats not 5 out 5 stars. The staff (management at the hotel, the kitchen/cleaning staff) are really nice people. Its nothing personal against them. However there are many things that can be improved at this hotel, but I notice when you bring up any issue the response from management was very defensive and dismissive in tone. I was made to feel like the issues I brought up were petty and baseless. I could go into detail about the things that I wasnt pleased with, but I dont feel its necessary because I decided I will never stay here again. I dig the theme of the rooms and the history behind it. However little things added up and I am going to try other hotels or air b&b's in the area. This hotel has a lot of potential. I just think there needs to be an overhaul in EVERY aspect. However, I won't be coming back to see if its better or not. read more

MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS STOLEN HERE Catalytic converter ("CC") theft has been on the rise in the state throughout the pandemic. It's an easy form of income for thieves to make money on the precious metals inside. It's stolen via the open space beneath the undercarriage of your vehicle. On 09/26/21, I became a victim of this crime on the Rendezvous property. As a result, this left me and my girlfriend stranded in Palm Springs for an entire extra week while the auto shop sourced additional parts to complete the repair successfully. ___________________ In this process, the property owners and management originally made NO EFFORT to reach out to me regarding the incident NOR any form of apology. It wasn't until 09/29/21 AFTER I posted the original review did they reach out to extend full compensation for the two nights I stayed, plus a certificate to stay there another night some other time. ___________________ I became a prime target for this theft because the property parking lot has no outside lights-giving the thieves complete cover of darkness to do the job. Additionally, (no fault of the property) a wall on the main road encloses the parked cars from view from the street. Furthermore, should I want to serve justice to these thieves, no cameras face the outside of the property though there is a sign claiming that there is. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. Overall, this is a warning for individuals who expect to park safely at the property. YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. For images and video to consider: https://bit.ly/Rendezvous_CC_Theft ___________________ As for the actual review of the property, I stayed in #9 (Stagecoach). Generally, it's much more warn down than the photos suggest (as you should expect). Here's a list of other cons to consider: - The entire property (entry, pool area, common spaces) is littered with tiny gravel from the parking lot; when it makes its way into your room, it's a problem to get off. - The toilet is extra sensitive, and there was no working plunger. It would often become clogged despite following instructions. - Worn appliances-many with treatable rust. - Overall not completely clean. The pool needed treatment and cleaning. All the pool seats were cloth and had weird stains. Once these seats were wet, it made them not suitable for sitting in. - Staff: the guy who fixed our toilet brought in a plunger and let the waste water drip all over on his way out. DiSGUSTING. He did not offer cleaning it up. Pros: - Located not far from the downtown. - Quiet, not many people there (probably for a reason). I will NEVER recommend this place to anyone. And certainly not to you if you've gotten through this review. LOOK ELSEWHERE! read more

I definitely loved it here. It's super cute and relaxing my favorite things were the pools and of course the bath in our room. Outside area can be a little unsettling but it's because it's by apartments, peoples homes. But I felt like it was secure and safe. I wish they hand the breakfast but I believe because of covid they didn't. But they did have w coffee and tea. Great little retro get away and themes rooms I definitely recommend! read more

Palm Springs Rendezvous - Beautiful and delicious quiche! Gourmet breakfast included with stay. Lovely - Hotels Near Me - Palm Springs, California

In the world of travel, people look for hotels that will provide them comfort, amenities, and an overall great experience. The problem with the last part is that can sometimes be ill defined, so the majority will follow after what everyone else prefer's because it can be easier than going out to discover what a place has to offer. The fundamental issue with this train of thought, is that you can miss the beautiful things right in front of you and shoot past what makes a place special. This, ladies and gents, is the super-secret-spot you never knew you never knew (thank you Pocahontas), that home away from home; pack your bags and grab your boo thang, it's time to go back in time and get away at The Rendevous! When you first plan to head on over here, remember how I said in the above statement to grab your boo thang? Well that's just it, you and your boo thang, no one else. Policy here is that it's a much more intimate setting so don't plan on bringing your whole family unless you're ready to pay for the other rooms as well. I should also mention that there is a very select number of rooms, each decked and themed out to the tune of Cowboys and old westerns, Hawaiian feels, and other unique ideas! The one that I'll review here is the Pretty In Pink themed room which is everything Marilyn Monroe. Word on the street is that after her affair was found out, she stayed in this room all summer long to get away from paparazzi. This was a phenomenal room, getting to take a look at the things the bed and breakfast has preserved. Numerous pictures deck the walls depicting much of her career as well as some Warhol-styled prints. Huge bed with plenty of comfy pillows to relax, as well as a comfy couch and fun shaped coffee table to match! Need a retro lamp? You got it! Something that makes this room all the more special is going to have to be the hot tub situated right in front of the bed. Talk about intimate and personal, you can relax here, conversate, enjoy some food after hitting the town and sleep soundly. Nothing here is state of the art, but that doesn't matter because when you visit Palm Springs, it's like seeing life through the styled sunglasses of Elton John. Appreciate the times folks, because this one here is a great blast from the past. All of the rooms surround a gorgeous looking pool that has little floaties for you to peruse and use all through your stay here. You never really feel like there are too many people here and the hosts are very kind. In the morning, expect to be greeted by the sweet sweet sounds of them fun time classic songs. Maybe you'll be greeted by the Beach Boys, maybe Elvis, who knows but it's a great start to any day! They offer a VERY cute three course meal in the morning. A tasty fun size meal that is simple and easy, making sure you keep in mind that it's not about the expensive things in life, it's about loving and embracing living! Overall parting shots, The Rendevous is a place frozen in time with all the things that made it so lovable in the first place. The people are kind, parking here is easy, a little off road if the main spots are taken up, but nothing to get your panties in a bundle. All but a street away from the main strip, enjoy time with you and your loved one. Do you and do CALI BABY! read more

Very chill hotel. Loved this as a romantic getaway for my boo and me. No loud children, parties or strict fuss by the employees. It was so nice to get away cherish the beautiful view and relax. The themed hotels and bath tubs were a huge plus!!! 10/10 can't wait to come back read more

We just returned from a glorious 4 day, 3 night stay. We were treated like royalty, from check in to check out. The service is impeccable. The attention to detail was spot on. The vibe here is perfect for people who appreciate the small things- like complimentary chocolate covered strawberries poolside, welcome glasses of wine and snacks upon arrival, and an amazing breakfast ( please check out my photos!). It's quiet, but not too quiet, the pool and jacuzzi are open 24 hours for thoughtful guests. 24 hours!!!!! Where do you EVER see that?? Loved that. They have fun floats and pool toys. My boyfriend and I got up to 200 volleys and we are pretty proud lol. The whirlpool soaking tub was my FAVORITE part, and it works perfectly and never ran out of hot water. THE ABSOLUTE BEST PART. And it needs to be mentioned that 8 out of their available 10 rooms have these whirlpool tubs. The website should emphasize this, because this commodity is not easy to find. The location is a bit of a distance from downtown, but we rented electric bikes in town- they were easy to use, went super fast, and we scooted around town checking out the mid century architecture, and using them as transport to catch dinner down town. Trust me, this is an option you don't want to miss. Lastly, the hostess was such a pleasure. She won't be in your business, just offers a helping hand whenever you need it. We left both of our phones poolside ( too many whiskey slushies) and they were safely returned to us. This was my second visit, and we will undoubtedly visit again. Please check out my pictures with descriptions, this is a highly recommended experience. read more

I love staying at the Rendezvous whenever my boyfriend and I go on our romantic getaways to Palm Springs. We've stayed at the TV room, the Honeymoon Suite, and Shake, Rattle, and Roll rooms. They all had their unique themes and aesthetics, comes with a hot tub, and we loved our nights in each room! Breakfast was served every morning and it was really filling! Comes with a fruit smoothie, a cup of fruits upon request, water/coffee, and we had pancakes and sausage links one morning and baked bacon eggs and cheese cups the next morning. It was SO good! Carlos was super nice and accommodating. They take precautions for COVID by wearing masks and taking precautions as necessary. The kitchen was accessible to all pre-COVID where there would always be coffee and hot cocoa available but due to COVID they did restrict the kitchen to staff only. There used to be a ton of board games and dvds to choose from as well but that was also removed to prevent cross contamination between rooms and whatnot. It didn't deter us from enjoying our trip though. We still had a blast and our weekend was nice and relaxing. read more

The nicest owners. This feels like staying in someone's house, because it kind of is. there are only a few rooms and you become friends with the other guests at the communal breakfast every morning. The owner makes you delicious smoothies and 3 course meals every morning! Ambience: Not fancy. Concrete floors, small communal pool + hot tub, vintage 50's vibes. Do not come expecting a hotel. But it is VERY homey. Location: Fantastic! 5 min drive to the downtown (hotel has its own parking lot) Management: 10/10 The only reason I gave it 4 stars was that the Frank Sinatra music they play in the lobby at all times somehow ended up staying on for 20 straight hours, we were the room next to lobby and heard it all night, and now we cannot unhear "come fly with me." read more

Took my husband here, 2/23-2/25/2018, to celebrate his birthday. This was our second stay here and we had another great stay. This time we checked into TV Shows, which was ok; although we did like Route 66 better. Booked him a massage on Saturday and she did wonders for his back, he absolutely enjoyed it and would recommend it highly. Breakfast was great and Kevin is such a delight. It was great to be able to schedule our breakfast a little later in the morning, so that we could enjoy sleeping in; on our little getaway. We really like the fact that there are only ten rooms, so the common areas are never overly packed. While we didn't join in the afternoon cocktails and appetizers we think it's a great touch. Loved that there is a fridge and microwave in the room. Can't wait to come out again for another little getaway and try another room. read more

The perfect getaway. Very mellow vibe, excellent pool experience. We've stayed in 3 of the rooms so far and they all were wonderful. The staff was awesome as usual, very friendly and accommodating. We were planning our next trip while still there! With the current pandemic it is very easy to maintain social distance at this facility, especially by the pool. read more

What a terrific, delightful, quiet little oasis! We just got back from a completely idyllic stay with John and Carlos -- the room decor is retro fun, and they started us off every day with a freshly made breakfast (smoothy, fruit cup, then chocolate pancakes one day and deconstructed breakfast burritos the other), which was the perfect fuel for whatever we were getting up in Palm Springs. (Quick shout out to Chef Tanya's Kitchen, which Carlos recommended -- could have eaten lunch there every day.) They make you feel so very welcome, and the cozy nature of the Rendezvous almost guarantees you'll end up sparking conversation with other guests at breakfast, "happy hour," or just floating around the pool in one of the many inflatable donuts. We had the most relaxing, chill time -- the pool, hot tub and fire pit are open 24 hours, but you can also relax in your in-room whirlpool. How many times can I say the word "relax" in this review? Come here and just relax, relax, relaaaaaax. We can't wait to come back -- thank you Carlos & John for the perfect antidote to a long year+ of being cooped up! read more

Very tiny place, but is nice. Not a fan of the concrete floors, that was different. They do a nice little breakfast, with smoothies. Access to a decent selection of DVDs, and snacks available at all hours too. Pretty decent price for a non commerical hotel. read more

We had an absolutely great time staying here this past weekend. Carlos and John made our trip wonderful. We enjoyed the quiet of the pool area and the adorable bungalow/50's vibe. The breakfast was top notch and its location to the main drag in PS made getting around super easy. We will definitely be back. read more

Palm Springs Rendezvous - A view from outside our room (the TV Room) - Hotels Near Me - Palm Springs, California

We discovered this little gem for a January birthday and dating anniversary trip. We both love retro decor and this place had it all. We stayed in the Route 66 room. We were thrilled with the attention to detail (both in decorating and just thinking of the little things to make a place comfortable), the laid back vibe, and the amazing hosts Aurilia and Kevin - both with their personalities and great cooking skills (seriously yummy food and drinks)! We felt so comfortable there - whether sleeping in the amazing bed and linens (and those robes!!) or just chilling in the heated pool and perfect temp hot tub. The food was delicious (and filling) and they were quite generous with 24-hour access to snacks, the fire-pit, and the pool and hot tub. We will absolutely be back and look forward to trying out the other room styles in the future. read more

The current 1 star reviews are true. This place is NOT what is described in the reviews. It's under new ownership and wants to run like an air bnb (a poorly run air bnb) even though the current website says "award winning hotel". First off I based my decision to stay here based on the glowing reviews and 3 course breakfast and happy hour fun. None of those are offered anymore and I was only made aware by an email sent after my arrival. When I arrived at the hotel at 4pm on my first night I quickly realized I was the only guest. No problem, but I mean only person on the property. There is no staff on grounds or anything. There are no rules on the property about what you have access too, how to use things, or on anything! You have to text to ask. Good luck turning on the fire pit, finding the ice machine, or turning on any outdoor lighting. More on that below. Once night hit I realized there was no outdoor lighting except one light in the pool. It felt "closed" or like I had broken into an abandoned hotel. When I called about the lights, they sent someone out to tell me that they were fine and just turned on the inside lights of the office. After he left I noticed multiple strings of Christmas lights as well as spotlights under every tree that were not on. Took it upon myself to figure them out. They were on a timer. What a difference! Pretty shitty to literally leave your customers in the dark. Don't expect any compensation for your troubles. They only offered that if you booked before they changed ownership which was never disclosed when I purchased my non refundable rooms. Hot tub is colder than the pool. Pool is nicely heated though. Fire pit and fire place do not work. For the price and amenities here you can do WAY better. I repeat, WAY better. read more

I've had this place bookmarked forever and finally had the opportunity to stay. It's usually booked up. Tim was fantastic from the quick and thorough check in to serving apps and drinks at their daily poolside Happy Hour (free drinks, people) AND making the daily 3-course breakfast, which was delicious. Pool is 24 hours and one of the cleanest I've seen in Palm Springs. The ONLY con was low water pressure in our room, but you just head back to that pool. Extra perk? I got this cute little book showing their other properties with recipes included! Can't wait to stay again. read more

Having stayed before I saw a huge difference. From check in, no contact with anyone it was so impersonal. The epoxy floor, the TV didn't work, no ice bucket and one hell of a hunt for ice. For the price of nearly 200 we have no desire to ever go back. How can you claim to be a Bed and Breakfast when you dont offer anything??? Its so impersonal and comparable to an over priced Air BNB without the luxury of amenities. There was no robe, 2 awful torn towels, the rack in the shower that holds Shampoo and such fell down. Its a shame to see what was once a nice and charming place so run down. No one was there if you needed anything! There was a wobbly retro fridge, 2 plastic cups and thats it in the room. Also if you like your room dark, not gonna happen in the rebel with out cause room. A window let's the bright light from outside shine in.. read more

We had such a great time and experience at the Rendezvous. Aurilia and Anthony really made us feel at home. It felt like we were staying at a friends house. This is not the stuffy resort type if place. The breakfast and snack were outstanding competing with any 5 star restaurants. The day we had to miss breakfast, they actually packed us a breakfast to go the night before. Who does that!!!! They actually take breakfast request.. We will always stay there for our future Palm Springs visits read more

What can I say about this place that hasn't been said? There is a reason the reviews are so high on both Yelp and Trip Advisor. This place is great, the location is great and Robert and the staff are great. The wife and I wanted to celebrate our 5 year anniversary so we booked a weekend get away here. From the moment we arrived to when we left everything was great. We stayed in the Shake Rattle N Roll room which is big, clean and has some great amenities. The nightly happy hour and the morning breakfast are both great and nice touches. The place is small (10 room) so it is quiet and very peaceful. We'll be back! read more

Amazing place to stay in Palm Springs! All the great reviews are true and we can't wait to go back.

We LOVED this beautiful place! It's straight out of the 50s like a time warp and so charming. I found it from reviews on Yelp and thought it was too good to be true but it wasn't! You really do get a happy hour and 3 course breakfast. It was delicious as well! Carlos and John were so wonderful, genuinely happy to have us and accommodating. Their hospitality was wonderful! They even let us chose the room so obviously we chose the Pretty in Pink suite where Marilyn used to stay, let us check out late so we could watch the Euros, offered us drinks and bent over backwards to make sure we felt welcomed. The beds were so soft and comfy, the fridge is stocked with water, the pool and hot tub are open 24/7 and the 50s tunes keep playing. We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary and it was so special thanks to the Rendezvous. We didn't want to leave!! Thank you Carlos and John. We will be back! read more
