The condo is located in a very quiet neighborhood in Desert Hot Springs, but is only about 20 minutes from most of the attractions & downtown Palm Springs so we never felt that is was too far out of the way. Our favorite part about this unit was that it included access to the country club just a couple minutes up the road. The condo complex has a pool, but the country club pool is much larger, nicer, and surprisingly not at all busy during our stay. There were also tennis courts that we made use of several times and a golf course that can be enjoyed for an additional fee.
The unit itself was small, but still larger than a typical hotel room and having a full kitchen is a huge bonus compared to a hotel. The unit was clean and the bed was comfortable. Our only minor complaint was that the units are somewhat creaky and not particularly well insulated so we could hear every movement from our upstairs neighbors, however, this was not too big of an issue for us and we were still quite pleased with our choice.
We never met the owner Pascal in person, but he was very friendly and accommodating when we spoke on the phone and via email. The price was reasonable and we would happily stay here again.
