Tons of parking, and a great view of the mountains from the parking lot. They even have a cool art display on one wall outside by the bathrooms for photo opportunities. The center itself is not large, and is filled with your typical T-shirts, sweatshirts, books, Christmas ornaments, etc. We did pick up a really cool Palm Springs Christmas ornament that was very unique and I didn't see anything like it when shopping downtown. The people at the desk have a large map that they draw on to show you how to get to certain places as they were giving us information which was helpful. I did buy a map that showed homes of past celebrities such as Doris Day, Elvis, etc. We did try to drive around and identify some of these homes, but it's not as easy as you would think. House numbers are not very apparent, and some of these streets are quite narrow, and with traffic behind you, you don't really have the opportunity to go slow and or stop to look. So we eventually gave up and just drove around to observe the unique architecture ourselves. I would say this is definitely worth a quick stop!

Late Nov, 2025. Palm Springs (PS), CA…read more *Location. Conveniently-located at the intersection of N Palm Canyon Dr and the road that goes up to the aerial tramway. *Exterior. Sufficient parking, even on a weekend, with EV charging stations available. Views of the San Jacinto Mountains from the parking area. Outdoor rest rooms available without having to go into the Visitor Center. A few outside photo opps. Architecturally-interesting building. It was apparently a former gas station but, with its update, has the feel of a mid-century modern building. *Interior. (1) There were two manned information desks, with friendly and somewhat helpful staff who offered maps and recommendations of things to see and do in PS. The young man who helped us pulled out a map that had PS proper on one side, and the greater PS (to Coachella) area on the back. He went through a seemingly rehearsed spiel about what we should see/do without first ascertaining what type of activities we were interested in. It was helpful that he informed us that VillageFest, a weekly downtown event with artists, artisans, entertainers, food vendors, and more, would not be held that week because of Thanksgiving. But, we were disappointed that he couldn't answer some of our basic questions about the San Jacinto National Monument area. Also, in asking if the Visitor Center had a map for a self-guided walking tour of attractions, we were directed to a brochure of (paid) walking tours offered by the local historical society. (2) There was a separate desk run by the Agra Caliente Band of Cohuilla Indians, offering tickets that allowed access to hikes in their ancestral lands, including Indian Canyons and/or Tahquitz Canyon. The woman at the desk was very friendly and helpful, and we bought tickets for Indian Garden (valid for one year). Tickets are normally $12 (adults) and $7 (seniors 62+), but a $1/ticket discount is given if purchased at the visitor center. (3) there is a small gift shop with books, maps, and souvenirs. (4) locally-relevant exhibits and brochures to local attractions.

The pizza and other hot foods are all part of a much larger travel center geared towards truckers. As mentioned above, they have a small, but fully functional Cinnabon along with a full Wendy's attached. The restrooms are pretty clean considering the heavy use they get. The people who work there are efficient, but don't expect over-the-top service. Getting in/out of the highway isn't bad, but it can get a little confusing due to some lane closures for construction. of Now, for the pizza. It was pretty dang good for pizza by the slice. I appreciated the box it came in over a paper plate. The crust was just the right thickness to hold while driving, the cheese was well-melted, and the sauce had the right amount of zing.

This rest area has a lot of potential to be really wonderful, with its amenities, a nice park like atmosphere, and an ocean view.

Disgusting. Noisy. No shade…read more I stopped for a quick nap and did not like this rest area at all. I hope it's not a sign of how bad California does highway rest areas! First, no shade. Okay, that's livable if you can park at the right angle. I was able to line up with the back doors into the Sun so it didn't get hot inside. Second, no deceleration ramp. People we're zipping into and out of this rest area and that's an accident waiting to happen. Third, it was noisy. Right next to the highway with no barrier from the road. Loud trucks going past and some of them using their engines to break. Not a good experience. After the nap, I thought I might use the restroom. It was disgusting. Papers on the floor, graffiti and worst, unflushed toilets full of waste. Do yourself a favor and drive a few miles west to the Love's Travel Stop. Big parking lot, clean bathrooms, a much better experience.

Other one thankfully was open and operational. The sinks were gross not sure what someone did in it. Usual trash on floor as a lot of people can't use a trash can. Toilet paper was fully stocked in the stall I used. That's a bonus! Picnic tables all around with shade shelter but in today's rain everything is totally wet. There is a water spigot right in front. The lighting isn't the usual led fixtures so not sure how brightly lit this is at night. Faucets didn't work in ladies room, a few of us tried them. No soap in dispenser but one hand dryer did work. Just bring some hand sanitizer or something. Overall you are not squatting on the ground in the woods but it's not the best rest stop.

The men's restroom had human feces on the ground, and the sink area, no paper towels or toilet paper were available, no soap to wash my hands, there were flies everywhere, and I could go on and on, but this pretty much describes the deplorable conditions of this entire place. I felt bad for a mailman who walked in, desperately looking for a toilet, only to take one look around and immediately leave. The sad thing is that there are no restaurants, gas stations, etc I'm in the area for miles, so this poor man was going to have to hold it for who knows how long?? I sure hope whoever is responsible for maintaining this rest area does a MUCH better job.

I walked up to the restroom on the left side of the building and it was locked. I then walked over to the one on the right side and it was the most disgusting restroom I've ever seen. There was urine and feces all over the floor and every single toilet seat. It looked as if more than one toilet exploded. I will NEVER stop here again. Overflowed toilets should not be happening. Not to mention the empty soap dispensers and no paper towels. What is the Department of transportation doing? They should have an employee assigned to these rest stops, knowing they are constantly being used.

Review regarding THE PINK FLAMINGO FRIDAYS…read more My friends and I have really enjoyed coming and enjoying the lazy river and drinks. I do think they need to make the hours a little longer 9pm to 1am in ny opinion. Overall, I enjoy the variety of music being played by the Dj. Usually the people I run into just want to have a great time and enjoy the pools and drinks. My friends and I rented a cabana one night and really enjoyed the experience so we invited more friends and rent a cabana the following Friday. So we arrived go through the check in process as usual. As the lifeguard walked us to the cabana, we walked past the number I was originally told I was booked for and I saw people in there and it was taped off still. In my mind I thought that was odd but I also don't work there. So I was like maybe they're getting people checked in. As the night go on. I notice a crowd of people and workers touching our stuff in the cabana so I approached them. I asked if I can ask them if I can help them. The staff in blue immediately started questioning me about booking and who is the name under. I gave them the information. They seem disorganized and that they did not want to ask the other people in the other cabana about the bookings especially after me explaining this is where we was put and I explained it was tapped off. It was either they double booked or someone was there that didn't belong. It didn't take me long to figure it out. I complained about the pizza at this time as well. They said they will bring us another. So we left the pizza in there. About hour later I asked our waitress and she said they were making a fresh one. Right before midnight I asked about the pizza again and now she said oh we are just gonna issue you a refund. Like girl what?!?! I've been starving waiting on fresh pizza that was not even coming like what's really going on. Last night was our 5th time coming so the quality of the pizza was based on previous times I have came. Then the waitress said to wait in the cabana for the supervisor to come speak with us. As were waiting the officer Alex Perez i believe his name was rushing us and called the front. He said that he was told because we were being "aggressive" that we need to go to the front and speak to the supervisor we all looked confused so we were like ok lets go. We speak to the supervisor and he was not aware. One thing I can say is that the officers may need racial and ethics training or a refresher. I find it strange they rushed all of one ethnic group out their cabanas but another ethnic group were still in the cabanas chilling and not being told to leave. I tried to go back to the cabana we were in to see if the receipt was in there so they can issue the refund and the officers were giving me a hard time mindwhile other people were just chilling in their cabana not being told to get out or anything. Literally the officer was flashing his light at us and standing at our cabana until we left but others were given the same treatment. I get it, people want to wrap up for the night and be off. But if Customer service was addressed when the issue was presented then we would've left promptly and not spend an extra 20-30 mins. Find people who want to work the overtime.

The staff is so recklessly dumb here, you won't believe it. So it was open and we tried to ask for one bowl of clam chowder. OH NO, stupid hostess Katelynn. She says to us, We are so busy, we can't let you have takeout. One effing bowl of chowder!!!! That's all my 85 yo mom is asking for. Get some training dear girl. You are an embarrassment to the establishment. Bye. For a Sunday...HIGH PASS! (Mostly the weekends) We've been coming to Morongo for the last 12 years...Circa 2026, we will probably find a new casino to go to. We have loved Morongo for many years! After the most recent renovations, we were excited to come here again. WOW, the GHETTO-NESS of it all. I can't even tell you how ghetto it has become. Sadly, the CLASSLESS people at the pool trying to claim loungers that weren't theirs and when confronted, their language in front of children was despicable and disgusting. Moving on to the newer restaurants at Morongo...there's nothing to write home about. The Mexican band next to Wahlburgers is incredibly TOO LOUD. We couldn't eat in any peace. Most of the smoking sections are not enclosed (yes there is one section enclosed by the entrance) but by the burger place, smoking is allowed in public by all tables. So while I'm trying to eat my burger, I'm bombarded by the loudest music and smoke coming from all ways in the air. At least my fries are piping Hot. Yamava, here we come next time. Sorry, Morongo. This just didn't work for any of us.
