The bats were very comfortable. I slept so well., my room had a mini kitchen and also a sofa, coffee table, and and a desk. My room had a view of the mountain, which was lovely at sunrise & sunset. They had a pool I never used, they also had a laundry service, but I never used it. The hotel is between residence home but far enough from them that you don't really see anybody. They have the free breakfast in the morning a coffee station. Plenty of parking

I booked a studio suite with 2 queen beds via hotels.com…read more The hotel messed up my booking and booked my room as 1 king bed. The people working the front desk seemed bothered by my presence, and unwilling to help. There was zero customer service and I feel like every person we saw over the weekend had terrible attitude. I ended up having to book another king room that day because they were fully booked of the 2 queen rooms. Hotels.com reach out to them multiple times to try to get it refunded but they continued to ignore them and did not care to resolute. The hotel stay was bad. It was so incredibly noisy due to kids staying here for a local basketball tournament. At 3 am there were kids running up and down the halls banging on doors and laughing. We saw and smelled kids smoking weed by the pool. The hotel staff did nothing to try to control the situation. The free breakfast was awful. The eggs were the fake stuff and the meat was very fatty. They only had yoplait yogurt with the 3 grams of protein. There were no boiled eggs or anything of substance. Parking was $10 but not sure they actually check if you have parking tag. Overall I think the hotel did a terrible job managing a fully booked weekend and I would never stay here again.

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

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

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

The rate includes a buffet breakfast and lunch that's ordered from a local place. The canteen has beverages available 24/7. Other guests were friendly and personable as well. It is clothing optional but we wore suits most of the time with no issues. Seemed like mostly couples with a few singles sprinkled in. Really I can't say enough nice things about our stay, the property and the staff.

Every day they have breakfast and lunch for the guests which is part of the deal. The resort is 20 minutes away from downtown Palm Springs which it's perfect. My first time visiting California and Palm Springs. I'm looking forward to coming back here in 2027.

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

This…read moreplace is clean, secured, quiet, the room has everything you need, like stove, microwave, coffee maker, pot and pans for cooking, fridge, dishwasher, etc.... The room is very specious, I stayed in the one bedroom suite with no Mountain View, which is fine with me since i can pretty much walk outside the hotel and enjoy the view that way. It also has a working table as well as a pullout sofa to use as a bed. They also have breakfast in the morning by the lobby, but it's non buffet style due to COVID. Instead they have a list of food they offer so all you have to do is tell them what you want and they will hand them to you. They do have workout room but you have to reserve a time slot since they don't want a lot of people in there, same with their laundry room. At the Entrance of the hotel, they actually have 2 doors to get into the main lobby, the 2nd one you will need to scan your room key in order to open it, but if you don't have one, they will have to buzz you in. I m glad their pool is open!!! They are open from 9am-10pm daily. Finally I can get a swim in after all the gyms are closed!!! They also have BBQ area outside the pool area with plenty of tables, PLUS they have a fireplace as well!!! I highly recommend this hotel if you are in the area, it's off the main road so it's nice and quiet. I will be back soon!!!

The property is perfectly maintained and rooms have been nicely updated. Our last trip was perfect. It was our first trip with a newborn which was nerve wracking. We had called in advance and requested our rooms be ready early, and that our rooms be near my parents room since they were traveling with us. I have made similar requests at other Bonvoy properties before and have almost always been severely disappointed. That was not the case here. Our rooms were ready when we arrived at noon, and we even received an upgrade due to our Bonvoy status. The front desk manager was so professional and kind! I was blown away when we arrived in our room and they had left the sweetest gifts for our son since it was his first trip. Touches like this are what make the Ritz Carlton brand legendary. Our entire stay was excellent. We enjoyed the pool and had the best service for drinks and lunch. We celebrated our wedding anniversary at The Edge. As always, the service was wonderful and the food was delicious. We only visited for one night, but everyone had the best time and felt relaxed heading back to reality.

All of this makes for a relaxing, social, and luxurious stay. Every staff member I met was friendly and focused on making guests comfortable. My week-long stay felt more like being hosted than just staying at a hotel. Staff were always around if needed but never intrusive, and any small requests were handled with care. The resort is in excellent condition. The grounds, pool deck, and common areas are always clean and well-maintained, showing that cleanliness is a daily priority. Both the pool and hot tub were spotless. My ground-level pool suite was spacious and well-decorated, making it perfect for a longer stay. Besides a comfortable bed, the room had a sofa, a desk, a chest of drawers, reliable Wi-Fi, and a large-screen TV. The layout made it easy to work, relax, or entertain without feeling cramped. A serene atmosphere makes it suitable for whatever you are looking for during your vacation. Being on the first floor, I did contend with overhead noise, as I could hear my neighbor walking around. However, I would choose a ground-floor, poolside room again for convenience. Breakfast and lunch are included in the room rate, and both offer plenty of options. Having fresh meals on-site made it easy to plan relaxed days by the pool or in my suite. The guest culture at Descanso is also special. During my week there, I found other guests to be fun and friendly. There's a nice balance: it's easy to have conversations, but there's no pressure to socialize. The clothing‑optional resort and compact layout foster a sense of ease and privacy, yet you are always just steps from your room, the pool, and the cantina, which keeps everything convenient. If you're thinking about staying here, I especially recommend Descanso if you value: * An upscale, men-only place with a friendly but calm atmosphere. * Large, comfortable rooms that feel like home, even for a week or longer. * Very clean pool and hot tub areas where you can easily spend most of your day. * Quality breakfast and lunch are included, making it much easier to plan your day. I will happily return to Descanso Resort and highly recommend it to gay men looking for a refined, relaxed Palm Springs getaway with great service, generous amenities, and a truly welcoming, social atmosphere.

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

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

While looking for a hotel to stay during my weekend getaway Rendezvous stood out because there a…read morelot 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.
