    Stayed one night for a girls' trip. The hotel was definitely upcharged for the busy weekend, and honestly, it didn't quite feel worth the price. That said, we still had a great time overall and appreciated being able to use the pool even though we couldn't check in early. The location was super convenient, which made getting around really easy. The "morning coffee and pastries" situation was kind of comical--think airplane snacks, not a continental breakfast. On a lighter note, the carpet art in the room gave us a laugh--quirky and weird. Decent stay, but probably wouldn't rush back at that price point.

    Great location. Very friendly staff. Clean comfortable. Nice pool area. Was hoping for a room with view of the mountain, but I guess none was available. Lots of easy parking.

    Clean boutique hotel with a nice pool and easy on the budget :) The views from our room were beautiful. The fitness center has a Peloton! The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Easy parking. Super easy check in and check out. They do not serve breakfast or anything like that but when you're so close to downtown Palm Springs why would you not eat there?

    This hotel was amazing. The service was great. Love the self check in option. They'll send you a text throughout your stay to see if you need anything. You can always text them for more towels, toiletries, etc. I loved that each room came with a mini fridge. Very convenient. They also have microwave downstairs by the pool. The pool was amazing and big. It was very spacious. And the Jacuzzi was great but a little dirty. I also like this hotel because it is walking distance to everything. One block away from the center of Palms Springs. Over all I give it 4.7 out of 5.

    Our check-in time was 4:00 PM, but upon arrival we were informed by the front desk that they were understaffed and that our room was not ready. There were around 25 guests waiting in the lobby for the same reason. It is now 4:30 PM, and the staff could not provide any estimate for when rooms would be available, only asking us to continue waiting. This was a very disappointing and disorganized start to what was supposed to be a relaxing vacation.

    Super comfy beds

    Great place! Check in was the best. They text you a pin that lets you in everything including the pool. You never have to speak to anyone and if you need anything you can send a text. Contactless is great It's quiet so you don't feel overwhelmed by party people. The pool is the perfect size and their little cabanas were first come first serve. Although it was super hot! They have these misters by the pool so it's super fresh! The rooms were comfortable and CLEAN. My favorite was the soft beds. They are directly across the street from grocery outlet SUPER convenient. And then just down the street from the downtown strip all walkable. We really enjoyed our stay and will def be back

They offer facials, massages, and body treatments. It was so nice to unwind and bask in simple pleasures that life has to offer. I took a dip in all the pools from one to the next; I love mineral pools. Something about this mineral water feels like magic. Time just froze. It was as if my whole life led up to this moment. Nevertheless, sky gazing is allowed and in fact encouraged to watch the clouds drift. Birds chirping was music to my ears. The plants were oxygenating and the landscape was therapeutic. Staff and guests were friendly. Prime spot for spa-goers. Welcoming inspiration. Get inspired today. You know people are known to see water in the middle of the desert...Was it all a mirage?

When I walked in I asked where do I check in because the area was giving bar, the guy with the curly pony tail said right here do you have a reservation. I politely told him no because I wanted to see what the vibes were like before booking & kinda laughed, he didn't crack a smile just looked at me like I was bothering him lol so I'm like ok so can I check in here he then says no, you have to do it online but let me tell you the cheapest room we have. Woah woah woah lol what made you think I was looking for cheap ?!! Umm ok so he gives me the quotes for upstairs and down stairs which has a fire place. Funny enough I had always planned on the patio and fire place which was more expensive because it's my birthday I wanted to get some content. Any ways I went online to start the booking and checking in, the price was significantly cheaper than what he quoted me, no biggie as I was putting in my information he handed me a card and said have a seat over there. I was literally damn near done but I guess he didn't want me at his counter any longer so I took the card and slid out the door and went to my car and drove 3 hours back home lol. I guess it wasn't so much what was said but how it was said. The vibes were just off and it scared me away. I get it sometimes dealing with the public is draining but don't give me the energy I'm not giving you! This was my first solo trip so I was nervous and extremely polite on purpose because I'm traveling alone. In case of emergency I would like to think staff care about their guest.

The property is small but quite nice. Pool is kinda crammed in there, with fewer chairs than guests should the hotel be sold out, and it's right in front of the restaurant, putting your swimsuit ass on display for anyone looking to dine. But there is a spa past the "guests only" sign, away from the pool, so that's at least an option. Rooms are spacious and beautiful. Reminded me of a casita. Shower is huge and has great pressure. Pocket doors all around, nice. Hot tub in back is killer and having a fire pit next to it makes the backyard lounging even more inviting on a crisp night. Free breakfast is full of solid choices. Not-free food and drinks are good but, holy hell, is it overpriced. I hate that we're at a place where drinks are $20 on average for alcohol that hasn't been getting more expensive. I just drink less so good for me, I suppose? I got a surf & turf for $55 and it was flank steak and about 15% of it was fat. It came with three shrimp. Sad. Excellent service.

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

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.

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!

The room, however, is somewhat subpar, i've definitely stayed in nicer rooms! The bathroom is small.. i would equate it to a motel. AC worked which was great. The room also had a fridge and a microwave, which was also handy.. The "breakfast " was ok as well. The hard boiled eggs we got were not good. It's basic so do not expect anything fancy. Cereal, bagels, yogurt. I did love that there was a coffee maker in the room! Would probably stay here again if the price was right...
