The staff! Kendra & Jinesa are outstanding hosts and so wonderful to talk to. They made my stay awesome. The pools are beautiful & the spa is amazing! Don is an incredible masseuse. He healed my body! I highly recommend getting a massage from him. Onsen is a gem in the desert...if you get a chance to stop in, do!

Nice renovated room. Excellent breakfast, good pool, friendly staff!

Be careful if you come back after 11pm. The property will be closed and you will need to call security but if it doesn’t answer you will need to climb over the fence like we did 😅

A gem in the rough. We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel/spa especially after a long day at Joshua Tree National park. Everything was top notch. Pool was heated and hot tub was spacious. Room was fab and bed was comfy. We love being treated like royalty.

We didnt get to spend more time here. Arrived late evening.

We loved everything! The staff were so kind and helpful. The pool and the jacuzzi were great. Our room was really spacious and comfortable. We appreciated the accommodations for our dog (the dog biscuits and the welcome note for Melli were so cute!) :) It was also a great place to enjoy a nice view of the mountains and watch the sunset/sunrise. The hotel was only ~20 minutes from Palm Springs and 40 minutes from Joshua Tree Park.

The staff was wonderful, kind and attentive! The breakfast in the morning was such a great thing and made our stay more enjoyable! The pool and hot tub were a nice addition too.

While we were there the main and only roads into Palm Springs were closed. Which meant it took 45 minutes to get anywhere. The location made it hard to want to go anywhere with such a long drive. However I was told it’s normally about 20 minutes when there are no road closures. But, if you plan to spend most of your time at the resort or Joshua Tree, the location and resort are great!

The breakfast was sausage and hard boiled eggs, 3 juices, cereal and milk. The beds are comfortable. It was quiet. The pool was the best I've ever been in, it was warm, clean, and mineral spring water. We loved the jacuzzi after too. Got to swim before leaving and that was wonderful. We ate at Delicious Mexican and it was very good!

The location was in a location where there was low income and homeless on one side, an empty lot full of left over construction junk on one side, and expensive homes on the other side. I was alarmed at first and missed turning into the parking lot the GPS sent us to. Thats where the low income were. I was afraid for our RAV. FORTUNATELY, there is another parking lot that was safe, and we parked there. There was even a Porsche there. We had no problems. I would definitely stay there. It's too bad the town isn't helping the businesses out by cleaning up lots, moving homeless, etc.

The hot water was great. Pool and spa were clean and almost no one else used them during our stay. Room was spacious and clean. We enjoyed the provided robes.

Noise could be heard easily between rooms. Breakfast items were not refilled after first rush and later guests were left to fend for themselves (including coffee). Attendant didn't seem to notice/care... may need additional staff to keep everyone happy at that time.

The room looked exactly like in the pictures with really cute and modern decor and they were very large. Plenty of room to set up, nice size TV. The bathroom is small but very well laid out, so it wasn't an issue. The pool was amazing and warm and the jacuzzi feeds directly from the mineral springs, so it was extremely relaxing.

I wish the doors had an extra chain for more security because the doors face a balcony that everyone has access to. I felt safe, but that extra layer of security would be good.

The continental breakfast at this hotel was exactly what we need. It had a perfect mix of meat, yogurt, fruit, and toast with coffee or tea. The food was fresh, delicious and perfectly presented. It was the perfect way to start the day and gave us the energy we needed to explore the surrounding areas. The hotel was located in a peaceful and tranquil area, which was perfect for us as we were looking for a quiet and relaxing break. Despite being away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it was still within easy reach of Palm Springs, making it an ideal location for exploring the city. We also appreciated the fact that there was no noise disturbance, ensuring that we had a peaceful and uninterrupted night's sleep. The location of the hotel was perfect for our needs, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Overall, this hotel is a perfect place to stay if you're looking for a tranquil, peaceful and relaxing getaway. The breakfast was excellent, and the location was perfect. If you're looking for a comfortable and luxurious stay close to Palm Springs, then this hotel is definitely worth checking out.

The only downside to your stay was the lack of a USB plug by the bedside. This could be a minor inconvenience for guests who rely on their devices, but it doesn't detract from the overall positive experience at the hotel. Nonetheless, it's worth noting that adding USB plugs by the bedside could be a nice addition to enhance the convenience and comfort of guests.
