Chris Nelson-JeffersAugust 7, 2015Clean comfortable rooms and new bedding for a very reasonable price. Huge pool and spa pool are awesome! Our favorite place to stay in Palm Springs. Close to everything. Pet-friendly.
JauntedMay 28, 2011One of the best-kept hotel secrets in Palm Springs. This place is keeping tiki-chic alive. Rooms are comfortable, cheap and the pool scene on weekdays is mostly kid-free. Follow us on Twitter @Jaunted
Ricky ChampyAugust 22, 2015Staff is wonderful. Stay here frequently & always happy. Marble bathrooms, big flat screen tvs, mini fridges, outdated decor but clean and functioning. Nice pool area & cabanas for $60 midweek.
Alessandro OttengaApril 24, 2014Perfect place to stay in Palm Springs... high quality rooms, reasonable prices, free wi-fi everywhere, super pool... personally, I can't ask more than this!
Tina JayApril 9, 2022Make sure the bar will be actually be open on the during your stay. They like to host private parties and shut it down on weekends.
- Cristi LermaAugust 18, 2012Such a nice surprise of a hotel if you're on a budget but want to stay in this awesome city! Nice comfy rooms and great pool area and at only $60 a night!
Cynthia DrescherApril 4, 2013Feels like I'm in a postcard from the late 1950s. A tiki-tacky hotel with really budget-friendly rooms and classic Palm Springs appeal. I wish they had a cool restaurant, though.
Hotel is connected to one of the best tiki bars in Palm Springs: The Reef. Pick up a limited edition tiki cup too.
Kristen BJanuary 16, 2012Great motel for super price. Fantastic pool. Ni r marble showers in room. Comfy pillows and beds. Cool Polynesian theme throughout. Close to Ace, cool bar there.
David BernalJuly 30, 2017Nice simple motel with helpful and friendly staff, swimming pool and afordable budget. Clean and confy.- Great weekend. Clean room, comfortable kingsize bed, dog friendly. Only wish the restaurant was still in business. Maybe another one will open up. Otherwise highly recommend for the next trip.
- Sketchie DeeJuly 4, 2013Great little hotel friendly staff, cabanas, nice pool, and clean comfy rooms. Hidden gem in the Coachella for sure
Amelia BergerJuly 19, 2016Staff was friendly and helpful, used yelp check-in upgrade. Pool was the perfect temp and not too crowded
Best surprise I've had at a hotel/motel. This place is awesome, nice rooms, friendly staff, beautiful grounds, and close to all that is Palm Springs!
Czarinna AndresOctober 10, 2011Beautiful resort with an awesome price to go with it. Highly recommended.
Great deal, rooms are good, friendly staff but the best perk is the awesome swimming pool. Would definitely stay here again
Rebecca TrouweeAugust 17, 2015Nice hotel, untill they charge you $300 for smoking in your room which is quite peculiar since I don't smoke. Please save yourself some issues and don't go there.
MorganSeptember 20, 2010Bring your own pool towels, they run out. You can BBQ and BYOB, also dog friendly.
Natasha PintoApril 7, 2013Worst hotel I have ever stayed at in Palm Springs. Everybody was very rude. they told us check in was at 3 then didn't get the room till 4 bc of a lot of late check outs then denied us late check out.
- Sophie DopheideAugust 10, 2015BE AWARE OF RIP OFF!! The room prices are decent, but they will find another way to make money!! They charged me for smoking in the hotel room (300 dollars) but I don't even smoke?!
BrianDecember 13, 2010Great place for the price nice rooms. Mixed crowd. Not all gay a lot of breeders
Watch out for the bugs that fly all over the rooms and sheets!

"Well made tiki cocktails, and the staff is extremely warm and welcoming. Didn't eat, but the food looked very good. Only downside--cash only, but indicated this should change eventually."
Doug de Wet 
"Food is clean and very good. Only problem was stale chips and a sour tequilla sunrise- probably because it was premixed"

"The German pancake is HUGE but delicious. The original lemon and butter version is 🔥, as the lemon juice adds just the right amount of sweet and freshness."
