We enjoyed three nights at the Hotel California in Feb. 2012, and were very happy with the choice. As others have pointed out, the lovely heated pool and surrounding courtyard are most attractive and almost unimaginably serene, given that they are just a few yards from a busy road. We spent every afternoon there. There was a charming gas fire... More

This small hotel is charming. The staff is extremely accommodating and will do anything to make your stay wonderful. With only 13 rooms, a very private pool, spa and patio area it's a great place to relax or meet new friends. We recommended the hotel to some friends attending the same event and they loved it! They couldn't get over... More

This small and cozy hotel was just fantastic! I have never stayed at a place that captured my imagination in such a way before. Wonderful garden and pool area, with hummingbirds and a jacuzzi ever so sweet. Had the pleasure of meeting the owner Larry and his lovely daughter Lucy - great people and a great place! Thanks.. :) More

We will def stay here again. The location was great, they pick you up for free from airport in a vintage stretch limo, cruiser bikes avail to use, family owned, all good!! More

What more can I say that every review you read has said. We booked this hotel based on it's rating and the reviews. Let's say what it's not. It's not located in downtown Palm Springs- Good for us, hardly any traffic and quiet at night. It only takes about 5 minutes to get downtown. It is not a party hotel-... More
