Went to El Morocco (EM) on a whim recently w the wife, and were let down by: an untidy slightly musty room with particles (apparently crumbs) on the floor, slightly soiled sheets; a cold pool which according to owner was so on account of a broken pool heater; kitschy movie set style of location decor, ie how westerners envisage Morocco...

We've stayed here a couple of times and enjoy being able to go for a late night dip in the pool. Since it's in a residential location we had pizza delivered for dinner and didn't leave once we checked in. No kids gives it a relaxing vibe - we'll be back.

Here's what we were looking for: adults only, romantic atmosphere, pool/hot tub, spa services small, affordable, a bar and walking distance to restaurants. So we had to forego the last two. This place was exactly what we needed for a short weekend reprieve and they do have an evening happy hour and a lovely brunch. The sheets were decadently soft... More

At least we stayed in 10 Hotels during our trip to CA - but El Morocco Inn Spa was the most wonderful place we had. All our memories are there.

We did not expect to find something this charming in Desert Hot Springs of all places. From the outside, it looks like a typical 1950 era motel, but the owner has done a fantastic job of converting the place into a desert oasis. It was a delicate balance, not over done like in a typical Vegas hotel, or under done... More

Hi HollerDoktor, thank you for your feedback regarding your stay at El Morocco Inn & Spa!

For instance, your comment got us thinking that a Moroccan lantern would look beautiful hanging... More

Peaceful little inn, beautifully decorated. Loved the cozy TV room and the smell of Moroccan oils around the property. The bed offered a superb nights sleep. Highly recommend staying longer than one night to take in all that El Morocco has to offer.

Thought I'd already posted this review! We visited here for our 25th wedding anniversary (May 2011) and after the initial worry of driving through a residential street in the middle of the desert where we wanted to turn and run... But once inside you enter an oasis of calm. Rooms wonderful and well thought out. We smiled all the time... More
