Loved the location so close to the mountains. We saw big horned sheep every morning grazing on the mountainside. Loved the fountain outside our slider where birds all gathered to drink and bathe. The secure gate around the property and the privacy was an added plus. Great heated pool and cushioned chaise lounges in sun and shade. Our suite was roomy , clean, quiet, adequately stocked kitchen and keurig coffeemaker was appreciated.

The only issue was we hoped the soap and shampoo was better quality and quantity. The handsoap was watered down and not adequate. I ended up buying soap and shampoo.

The facilities exceeded our expectations, the location was perfect, close to everything we wanted but not right in the heart of town. The view of the mountains and sunrise were SPECTACULAR! The pool was very enticing, the bed was extremely comfortable. To complementary snacks and coffee were unexpected but wonderful. The most upsetting part of this stay was that we were only there for one night. We will definitely return for a much longer period on our next trip.

The Desert Hill was exceptional. The worst part was that we couldn’t stay any longer!

The property was quiet, our room was spacious, kitchenette was useful, located within walking distance to downtown, easy check in/out.

It was very disappointing to discover the jacuzzi was out of commission. We chose this property from the few we decided on because of the jacuzzi. It felt a bit deceiving to promote it on the website knowing it doesn't work. A regular guest at the property mentioned it hasn't worked for a long time, so why was wasn't the website updated to reflect this?

The location was a few minutes walk from downtown Palm Springs but far enough away that you couldn't hear downtown Palm Springs. It was peaceful and serene. The property is 21+ so it was quiet. The room had a kitchenette and was large and spacious. The pool was nice and the whole property was kept clean. It is surrounded by a gate so it also felt very safe!

It took awhile for the room to cool down but did eventually cool off. There was a humming noise that would randomly start and stop, never found out what it was. The shower was small but the water pressure was great! The bed was squeaky but overall good.

The location is amazing, a walking distance from hiking trail heads, nested close to the tall mountains in a beautiful and manicured neighborhood. The housekeepers were very nice and efficient. the manager was extremely professional and responsive. The garden was well groomed. The king size bed was very comfortable. The kitchenette well appointed, we had our breakfast in the nook and our lunch in the patio on the large table, serenaded by birds. A wonderful place and stay. We will come again.

The jacuzzi was under repair.

Relaxing pool atmosphere. Close walk to many restaurants. Housekeeping staff were top notch!

Jacuzzi did not work and had been inoperable for about 2 years. They should not advertise as having one.

Beautiful mid century modern property. We understand it has just changed ownership after decades in the same family. The pool area was lovely. The room was very clean. It was very easy to get into the property and the management team was communicative before our stay with information on how to access the property. The location at the foot of the San Jacinto mountains was spectacular and the neighborhood is fabulous, walkable, clean, and safe.

The hot tub was out of order / taped off. We were not aware of this before arriving. The toilet in room 11 needs to be adjusted as the cistern kept filling every minute or two which was terrible during the night. My poor Mum who was visiting from New Zealand was kept up all night which wasn't good. We were also disappointed that we were tucked away in room 11 which is very dark and doesn't have much natural light. All the other rooms seemed to have lovely big windows / sliders out to the pool. There were also a TON of mosquitoes (we have them in LA at the moment which is a massive problem) and we wanted to keep the door open for the light but the mosquitoes would come in so that wasn't an option (bugs were noted on the guest information sheet left for us in our room).

A quiet calm oasis with a lovely retro feel. Lying on the sun beds was so relaxing, every view was a delight. The whole place was kept immaculate, everyone who worked there was helpful and pleasant. A great place to switch off from the outside world. Thank you so much for making our stay unforgettable!

Gorgeous retro motel & spotlessly clean. Only wish we’d had more time to enjoy it!

Our room was the only one that didn’t look out over the pool which was a shame, but a small criticism.

The location and view were fabulous! We had a wonderful time! A very comfortable and clean room. The bed was like a soft pillow! We slept beautifully! I would recommend to anyone looking to get the full Laguna Beach experience!

I loved it all - nothing to complain about.
