This hotel is a beautiful time capsule from the 60's, don't come here expecting a modern, perfectly kept place. The room was massive and gorgeous, our shower was essentially in a sunroom and it was the coolest experience of my life. The pool was heated to the literal perfect temperature, I've never been in a pool that's been this temperature before. It was amazing. The hot tub and sauna and cold plunge were just the cherry on top. I can't wait to return again to this piece of history.

Hidden gem in Palm Springs

What a cool hidden gem in Palm Springs! This spot was such a nice surprise find. Rooms were simple and clean, and we loved the hot tub and pool/patio area. Elise and staff were friendly. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

This hotel was amazing! I would definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Despite of no staff being there all the time we had everything we needed without needed help. They had a grill which we used and all tools were available. They had a game room with a lots of card games, photo booth, karaoke, television, microwave and a refrigerator to store things meanwhile being there. They had a sauna, a cold plunge, hot tub in and nice area. The pool was amazing and clean. Room was clean and well kept. I would definitely stay herw again!

We stayed here for a company Christmas party and only planned to spend the night and what a mistake! I would spend a week here! There were so many amenities (free of charge) and the rooms were spectacular. I'm a big fan of the 60's and 70's and was surprised to see how authentic and well-decorated the rooms were! The pool and hot tub (sadly the only amenities we used) were well kept, and we felt safe, clean, and at ease. I will definitely be staying here next time I'm in the Palm Springs area!

There is a great pool and hot tub for relaxing swimming. The location was quiet and close enough to downtown that it was never more than a short drive to go anywhere, plus many convenient places in the immediate area too. The only thing I would change would be the door touchpad entry. I would have preferred physical buttons or a key.

We really loved our stay. Amazing hip little property. Could use a microwave in the room. And could use better cleaning. Our patio furniture was caked in dust and very dirty. Other areas of room/property also needed more cleaning. The giant tub in our room and large windows were awesome. Bed very comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

Great place weird check in process

I was not a big fan of the check-in process. Not sure how comfortable I am providing a face scan. The pillows were too thick and the WiFi was not good, but the hotel itself was pretty cool and very clean. I would definitely stay there again (specially since they already have my face scan) 😉

Enjoyed the easy access and environment for the most part. The sauna was an amazing touch too. Though the premise was peaceful and quiet, walls are very thin and neighbors were a little loud. In addition, WiFi was very poor. Also the a/c and heat made a noise that was disruptive so we didn’t use it which was a bummer. Good stay for the price but just a couple of misses.
