My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The rooms were totally beautiful, comfortable, large, and impressive, with a perfect quiet ambiance and a spacious, comfortable bed donned with luxe linens. However, the layout was a bit strange with the tub and sink in the bedroom. The service was top-notch, with warm, friendly, and accommodating staff members making my experience exceptional. The location was superb, allowing me to walk to the main street and all over Palm Springs easily while also offering a great view of the city. The dining experience was delicious, especially by the stunning waterfall. The facilities were also impressive and well-maintained.
