Enjoyed my stay at the Desert Riviera and recommend it as a place to stay in Palm Springs. My room was behind the reception desk so received some noise from that area. Also, the TV was not of a high quality (rough sound on some stations and had to reboot it a couple of times to turn it on). That... More

This place is everything that every 5 star review says. The small, intimate grounds are perfect. The staff is fantastic. The amenities are excellent quality. Every detail is what makes this place stand alone. Walking in with the vault door closing behind you is immediately entering the world you were looking for when you booked a vacation. Nothing is allowed... More

Larry, Patty and Judy are the most accommodating hosts you'll ever meet. The grounds are beautiful with lots of hummingbirds, flora and amazing view of the mountains from the poolside. We can't wait to go back!

I have never stayed in a place where the hosts did more of the little things right. It was as if the proprietors thought up every detail that would make them happy when traveling and then incorporated it into the routine of the Desert Riviera. When we walked in the office door upon arrival, we were offered cold beer or... More

We really enjoyed our stay in room 9. It's a good size room and very clean. We also had a very comfortable bed. Judy and her daughter were so much help. They told us how to get places and made reservations for us. We took the limo downtown for the Thursday night festival, which was very entertaining. We bought a... More

Very good time at the Desert Riviera Hotel. Great relaxing get away! The hotel staff was absolutely great. Gave us ideas of "things to do" and always shared complimentary bottles of water/soda for our trips. Short trip to downtown (driver or take advantage of the free bicycles)... or even better, take the complimentary limo service! Too many bonus items to... More

This place makes you feel at home! They have so many amenities that big hotels don't have. Free wifi, bike rentals, and they even give you snacks and drinks in your room! The room was really clean and very private. We cannot wait to book another few nights at this hotel! Thank you Larry, Judy, Traci, Mike and even Jay!... More

This Hotel exceeds anyone's impression of good modern taste along with a vibe that has you unwinding within minutes. It's a "must-stay" place in Palm Springs - trust me. The grounds are exquisite, not to forget Judy & the owners - Patty and Larry - who will be there for you as they have been for me many times, they... More

Wonderful experience! Spotless, clean, updated, cared for rooms. And the free limo ride was awesome! You feel very well taken care of here. The hotel owner and host at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. We were very happy and would definitely stay again.
