10/10 Excellent
"Great quick stay at this well-maintained property. Lovely gardens even included hummingbird feeders. Property felt secure. Lots of reviews mentioned nighttime club noise but it was 100 degrees on a Sunday night in August during our stay -- not a prime party time for Palm Springs, I'd imagine. A/C in the room was loud but we had earplugs at the ready and the room was cool and comfortable. Easy walking distance to Bill's Pizza, a new PS favorite. Hot breakfast was nice and set us up for a long day on the road. Friendly font desk staff on either end of the visit."
