“Good value; relaxed environment”
The rooms are fairly basic but they are relatively spacious, clean and the bed is comfortable. The hotel also benefits from a large outdoor pool, jacuzzi and bar area. It offers a nice and relaxed environment.

“10 days in Palm Springs for the BNP Paribas Open”
The room is a good size, and the cleanliness and amenities are adequate. There is a sufficient number of free parking spaces. The TV offers a wide selection of channels.

“Excellent Motel, highly recommend staying”
The pool area is amazing and added bonus that the pool is heated year round. The rooms are dated but a great size with plenty of room. We loved the Tiki bar and Mexican Restaurant. Would definitely recommend staying here.

“Lovely and exotic Hawaii style hotel. Good for everyone! Great value for money!”
Pool area, pool itself and a hotel vibe- Tiki, Hawaii, green and exotic. Very beautiful both in a daytime and at night with all the lights and fire torches on. Close drive to the strip of Palm springs. A good Mexican restaurant is right next to the hotel. And a cool Tiki bar too. Overall good value for the money.
