The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
7 Springs Inn & Suites is a colorful motel-style property positioned within easy walking distance of downtown Palm Springs. The property stands out for its bohemian courtyard pool scene and comfortable beds made with crisp 500 thread-count sheets. However, noise from groundskeepers starting lawnmowers at 8am can interrupt quiet mornings, and entry-level bathrooms are on the smaller side with pedestal sinks. 48121

Score breakdown
How the 82/100 is built, category by category — each one with the strongest thing travelers actually said, and the source it came from.
Bathroom
89- “The bathroom was gigantic, the shower was heaven, and the whole room in general gave the three of us plenty of space to spread out.” 1
Food
87- “The main restaurant here is Lola Rose. It's right by the pool. We had breakfast here every day. I have Hyatt Globalist status, so breakfast was included, and the food was fantastic. Everything we had was amazing.” 13:43
- “restaurants, you would do well by starting with an order of their crab bisque, poured tableside and topped with large chunks of crab meat- a truly decadent intro to start your meal off right!” 11
Location
87- “The Thompson Palm Springs is in a fantastic location. It is right on Palm Canyon Drive, which is the main thoroughfare through downtown Palm Springs. So, you can easily walk to a lot of shops and restaurants and some area attractions like the art museum.” 1
- “But the best part about this spot, the walkability is incredible. You're literally just a 10 to 15 minute walk straight into the heart of downtown Palm Springs.” 108:55
Noise
87- “Be aware that guests sometimes complain of noise due to thin walls, so light sleepers may want to consider earplugs.” 8
Room
85- “Instead, you get 500 thread-count sheets in a big, fluffy, white bed that looks nearly brand new, a sort of bohemian courtyard pool scene and on this visit, one of the friendliest front desk clerks you're ever going to come across.” 4
- “Overall, I'd say our room was clean enough, but not as immaculate as one might like. However, the great beauty of the grounds, views, architecture and pools overcame any minor issues for me.” 12
Service
84- “So, it was a little frustrating to sit there and wait and wait while everyone else's room was ready and ours was not, but the staff was super helpful, super friendly. They kept checking on us, kept checking on our room status, and in the end when our room ended up being ready a little late, they gave me back some extra points, which I will completely take.” 1
- “And for the most part, I really loved it. This hotel is downtown. It nails modern luxury. It feels like it takes that desert modernism that Palm Springs is known for and kind of elevates it up a notch. The service is great.” 1
Bed & Sleep
86- “"Beds are very comfortable. I slept soundly every night and woke up refreshed."” 16
- “Three things jump out at us whenever we stay in this particular lodge. They are that the design of the rooms is a bit sparse compared to the overall rustic vibe of the resort, the bed is among the more comfortable from area Pittsburgh hotels, and the views from the slopeside rooms are hard to beat at any time of the year.” 11

- “Even with some of the snafus we had, like our room being ready late, the service was still outstanding, and we had an overall great experience.” On camera16:28
- “The front desk staff are perfunctory, just "Credit card, sign here, see the bell captain."” 12
- “The ski school is a disaster that put my wife and kids in classes at the wrong skill level, and when they screw something up they blame you the customer for the fact that their reservation and instruction teams are siloed. There's a few gems here, but most of the staff is rude and unhelpful.” 13
- “All staff is friendly and helpful” 13
- “Bathrooms are nice, pairing green walls with black-tiled walk-in showers, though bathrooms in entry-level rooms can be small with pedestal sinks.” 8
- “However, the great beauty of the grounds, views, architecture and pools overcame any minor issues for me. We were treated very well by the front desk, room service breakfast was good and delivered promptly.” 12

They kept checking on us, kept checking on our room status, and in the end when our room ended up being ready a little late, they gave me back some extra points, which I will completely take.” 1
- “I later found that my neighbours had dropped their used room service tray in front of their room - and though clearly visible, this was never removed within two days - might explain the ants.” 12
- “Everything is ridiculously over priced, and conditions are usually trash.” 13
- “And check out the queen bed here. So, it looks really nice. And let's see how pl Oh, it's kind of firm. So, it's not very plush. So, it's very firm.” On camera101:48

- “Plus, the staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our entire stay.” On camera109:50

- “Room was drafty and there was no key to the patio door so you could easily lock yourself out.” 13
- “"The room was very big and very nice"” 16
- “All rooms have a little mini bar refrigerator, but the room service prices are shocking.” 12
- “The one I stayed in had an upper floor with bed and sitting area. The downstairs half, which I also used, had a kitchen and pullout bed. The upper level had great views.” 12

- “Our room was pretty, with a fireplace, but a bit dusty. There was a dead spider by the toilet. Overall, I'd say our room was clean enough, but not as immaculate as one might like.” 12
- “So yeah, actually a pretty nice room here at Triata Palm Springs.” On camera104:47
- “Back in your room, you'll find plenty of space. In fact, the standard king I stayed in during this visit had so much open area that you could have set up your own weight room.” 4
- “To get one of the newer buildings, you need to get a "Spa Villa". They are great, however be sure you get the part with the real bed, and not the pullout sofa.” 12
- “While United's Embraer 170/175 fleet now offers Starlink Wi-Fi and power, this CRJ-200 had neither. No Wi-Fi. No power outlets. No streaming entertainment. Just a seat, a window, and whatever battery life you brought onboard.” 3

- “I love the decor of a Thompson. It's so sleek and modern.” On camera13:02
- “"The room was large and immaculately clean."” 16
- “To say that the property has enough for everyone that you may never have to leave the mountain is an understatement, but its quick access to nearby attractions like Fallingwater, Kentuck Knob, or Ohiopyle State Park also make this one a great spot to get out and enjoy the Laurel Highlands at large, and as such we find ourselves using it as a base time and time again.” 11
- “The Thompson Palm Springs is in a fantastic location. It is right on Palm Canyon Drive, which is the main thoroughfare through downtown Palm Springs. So, you can easily walk to a lot of shops and restaurants and some area attractions like the art museum.” 1
- “But the best part about this spot, the walkability is incredible. You're literally just a 10 to 15 minute walk straight into the heart of downtown Palm Springs.” On camera108:55
- “While we think the rooms in the main lodge are rather sparse in ambiance, we often find ourselves visiting this one for the outdoor amenities first and utilize the rooms almost purely for their location as a second.” 11
- “Plus, all of that is within an easy five-minute walk to downtown Palm Springs, which is a great place to stroll around after a day of golf if you're looking for something more than a cookie-cutter mall scene.” 4
- “The rooms are modern and well-maintained, and the property provides a relaxing oasis away from the busy crowds in downtown.” On camera109:42

- “Onsite restaurants are expensive, the food was edible but nothing special (we tried Twenty 6 and the Spa Bistro).” 12
- “They don't have footrests on lifts the snow makers suck the food is terrible and overpriced and the staff looks disgusting 100% of the time” 13
- “The prices have increased to the prices you usually find in CO and UT but its 1/16 of the size of a good resort.” 13
- “Day lift prices discouraged new skiers in our group” 13
- “The food is subpar but stupid expensive and the servers are either rude or nowhere to be found.” 13
- “While we didn't get a chance to eat here ourselves, the pricing looks very reasonable.” On camera105:15
- “The food is the quality of a gas station level but 10 times the price.” 13
- “So I checked out, booked through Hotwire again and checked back in (I know I am being cheap, but with a difference that high...). They assigned me a different casita and I refused it. It was behind the lobby building and absolutely dark, worn and dingy IMHO.” 12
- “Overall, we found the pricing to be reasonable for what you get.” On camera109:39
- “That being said, with a comfortable bed we can often overlook some of the smaller details because a good night's sleep close to the action is often all we need to be happy.” 11
- “Three things jump out at us whenever we stay in this particular lodge. They are that the design of the rooms is a bit sparse compared to the overall rustic vibe of the resort, the bed is among the more comfortable from area Pittsburgh hotels, and the views from the slopeside rooms are hard to beat at any time of the year.” 11
- “"Beds are very comfortable. I slept soundly every night and woke up refreshed."” 16
- “They need to convert a few more of their lifts to high speed lifts to move the crowds up the hill. They have 2 high speed 6 packs, but all the rest of the lifts are agonizingly slow.” 13
- “Room was drafty and there was no key to the patio door so you could easily lock yourself out. Just an example the foggy goggle restaurant.i ordered a turkey sandwich and got three slices of lunch meat on a bun.im not exaggerating and it was $19.00.do yourself a favor and avoid this place.” 13
- “However, the great beauty of the grounds, views, architecture and pools overcame any minor issues for me. We were treated very well by the front desk, room service breakfast was good and delivered promptly.” 12
- “restaurants, you would do well by starting with an order of their crab bisque, poured tableside and topped with large chunks of crab meat- a truly decadent intro to start your meal off right!” 11
- “The food was great, the room was comfortable, the pool was amazing.” On camera16:24
- “For Vail resorts to be in charge food should be better and on par with the experience at their UT/CO resorts IMO - I can accept no park city snow here, but there's no inherent reason to not have better food in the main lodges.” 13
- “The Spa is wonderful as well. We order room service for breakfast, but love El Adobe restaurant for dinner on the patio.” 12
- “Onsite restaurants are expensive, the food was edible but nothing special (we tried Twenty 6 and the Spa Bistro).” 12
- “The main restaurant here is Lola Rose. It's right by the pool. We had breakfast here every day. I have Hyatt Globalist status, so breakfast was included, and the food was fantastic. Everything we had was amazing.” On camera13:43
- “This restaurant is located outside of the main lodge and is in a historic homestead just a short distance away. The ambiance inside is a rustic Alpine vibe (similar to the resort, but feeling more homelike than a mega-resort) and is perfect for fine dining.” 11
- “Most of the restaurants are closed during the week.” 13
- “The bathroom was gigantic, the shower was heaven, and the whole room in general gave the three of us plenty of space to spread out.” 1
- “Be aware that guests sometimes complain of noise due to thin walls, so light sleepers may want to consider earplugs.” 8
