Embassy Suites by Hilton Palm Desert
The staff were friendly. I had a suite with three people. The furniture was dated with minimal carpeting. There was a microwave and small fridge. I enjoyed the large television. The laundry room was out of service. Our stay was two days.

The Dunes Hotel
Easy check-in everything was nice and clean. I wouldn’t take away a star, but the only thing is that you have to keep on keying in a code number. To enter your room.
