It is definitely not a high end spa, our room needed some love ..new toilet seat, the backing on the drapes was missing, the upper lock/latch on our door had been busted but never replaced . If you are just looking for a quick get away to enjoy the pools and relax I would recommend Desert Hot Springs spa. The staff was very nice.

This motel is truly a blast from the 50s SoCal past. It is worn out but clean so charming in a different way. The multiple hot spring pools are fantastic. The restaurant served up a delicious and plentiful breakfast. Motel, shop and restaurant are bargains so manage expectations and have a great time!

Desert hot springs is what it is. An old semi run down but decent place to stay. The saving grace are the different temperature pools. The bar can also be fun and the food is good at the restaurant. Prices can vary greatly from day to day depending on weather and local events. The same room can be 88 dollars pne day or 280 the next. Book on line and save big money.

Love the vibe of this unique desert oasis. Low-key, relaxing, hospitable. Lovely cafe and unique bar. Pools of varying degrees complete a relaxing spa stay. Rooms comfortable and pool views with balconies sublime. Love the immaculate grounds surrounded by palms.

We were bumped here from Desert Hotel and Spa next door. It seemed to be an upgrade. We loved getting to relax in the pools after a long day of travel. I can’t imagine being in hot pools like that when it is hot outside though!

This second visit to Desert Hot Springs & Spa. All stall very friendly, pool and hot tubs open 24 hrs a day. Enjoy the food at the Sunshine cafe, lots of good food at a reasonable price. This year stay on lower level with access to pool and hot tubs. Look forward to returning next Winter.

This hidden jam is a total stand out for anyone seeking and affordable, tranquil escape. While it retains a low-key charm, the amenities are top-tier featuring six unique mineral water pools, and a restaurant that serves surprisingly exceptional food and drinks. If you’re looking for a quiet, high value retreat, that punches well above its weight, we highly recommend it.
