This is a lovely historic property with quaint rooms, beautifully manicured courtyard and great breakfast. We also appreciated the staff. They were sweet and attentive, eager to cater to our needs and make sure we have a great stay.

We had the misfortune of staying at the same time as a rather rowdy group of guests who occupied the pool, played their own music with no regard to the rules and treated the hotel staff with zero respect. We felt bad for the staff and appreciated their attempts to manage these inconsiderate guests.

Love the temperature of pool, landscaping with humming birds. Breakfast is self service, kitchen is always open with snacks available, the coffee is very good. the staff are very friendly and helpful.

I absolutely didn't like that booking.com didn't pay the hotel for our room reservations. I had to give Hotel California my credit card # and was charged AGAIN before we could check in. The woman in the hotel office told me I'll have to call booking.com to get a refund. I spent almost 3 hours of "relaxation "time trying to talk to someone. I called 4 times, after going through all the prompts and waiting on hold for at least 30 minutes the call was disconnected each time. Talk about frustration!! instead of enjoying the beautiful weather and property. The next day the hotel was paid and our credit card was refunded. I'll never go through booking.com again. I do miss the drinks and happy hour 😩

I recently stayed at Hotel California and it was fantastic! This adults-only, boutique hotel is truly a hidden gem. We stayed in one of the two-level accommodation, which featured a spacious living room and a full kitchen downstairs, with the bedroom and additional full bathroom upstairs. Having a full bathroom on each level was incredibly convenient. The room had two lovely outdoor seating areas, perfect for relaxing and enjoying my morning coffee. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the experience even better. Corbin took the time to show us around when we checked in we had a great chat about an autographed picture in their lobby of the Eagles from 1977. He wasn't even born yet but it brought back wonderful memories for me! A continental breakfast was included each morning and there were thoughtful extras like snacks stocked in the room. The courtyard area with the swimming pool and hot tub was beautiful and well-maintained, complete with overhead misters, plenty of beach towels, sunscreen and even pool noodles and floaties for extra fun. Parking was easy and the location couldn't have been better-close to everything but still quiet and peaceful. Overall, Hotel California offers the perfect mix of comfort, charm, and outstanding hospitality. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Palm Springs!

It is a really nice, small and quiet Adult hotel. The staff was Great. Location was perfect. Parking was good. There was a nice veiw of the mountains from the Hotel. Overall we liked the Hotel

The appliances in the room weren't the best. The Toaster in our room did not work. The microwave was difficult to operate. the coffee maker took up the whole counter top, it was way too big. The toilet backed up on our last morning from almost nothing in the bowl. there was NO plunger in the room. I had to get help from the staff to locate a Plunger from the room next door. The small safe was not bolted down to anything and could be carried out the door anytime.

Amazing staff. Tons of amenities; breakfast food like yogurts, hard boiled eggs, bagels, muffins, fresh fruit, coffee and more. We got an afternoon cocktail and popcorn and snacks anytime we wanted them. We got water in our rooms and even sparking water. Staff was amazing and kudos to Terri who made our stay so enjoyable, she went above and beyond expectations. Adult only and pool was open. 24/7, with only 14 rooms you can’t beat it. Our room had two bathrooms, a kitchen, bar area, dining area, living room and two beds in the bedroom. Perfect for our girls trip.

The only minor complaint was the couch in the family room area. It was a bit dated and needs to be replaced. A sleeper sofa type couch would be a perfect compliment to all you offer.

Small, quiet hotel with friendly staff. Desk clerk gave us a personal tour of the facilities upon check-in, and even mixed a couple of margaritas up for us shortly after. Garden like setting around the pool with nice music piped in along with tiki torches, candles, etc. lit up at night. Overall a very nice, chill vibe to the place.

Their water pressure might be a bit high. Someone took a shower above us one night and the plumbing was screaming for the few minutes the shower was going. Not a deal breaker however.

Romantic, charming little gem in the desert. Staff was super welcoming and helpful. We had a little glitch on the keyless entry, and it turned out they had a system issue, and some other problems, that resulted in me getting an upgraded room. It was marvelous! Candlelit pool and spa was a beautiful touch. We had a girls' getaway weekend and it was perfect. Also appreciate the snacks and beverages in room - very thoughtful.

So the pool grout needs updating. That's it.

Lovely spacious room with comfy bed, sofa, table and chairs, TV, large vanity area and separate bathroom and toilet. Also small sink unit, fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Great communal kitchen with cooking facilities, fridges, toaster and good choice of things for breakfast. Pretty outside areas and peaceful around the pool. Friendly helpful staff and snacks and toiletries in the rooms was a great personal touch. Would definitely recommend.

This is a gem in the desert, a lovely, small B&B with well-appointed and very comfortable rooms to include sink, micro-wave, fridge. It also has a fully equipped kitchen for guest use where a lovely breakfast of treats, yogurts, breads, jams is laid out each morning. The heated pool and jacuzzi are located in a lush courtyard full of flowers, hummingbirds and private areas. The staff is exceptionally nice and accommodating to any requests.

There was nothing to dislike.

Beautiful Spanish style architecture in an exotic desert setting.

The coffee maker in my room didn’t work. Or I could not get it to work because there were no directions on how to use it. Also, no elevator on the property. Although my room was ground level, I previously reserved a room for two future dates. And I was just told the rooms are upstairs. If the hotel cannot change my rooms to ground level, I may have to cancel.
