Better still, it's three by car from downtown and, as a result, offers easy access to top attractions, along with a wealth of dining, shopping, and nightlife options.” 16

Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
Noise2 mentions
- “And for all the hip boutique-hotel accoutrements, a motel vibe lingers. Also note, rooms by the pool can pick up noise from its booming sound system.” 16
- “The style is retro, with 70s details such as record players and vinyl in the rooms. It can be really loud here, and the property draws a young crowd (with dogs in tow), so older couples who want to relax, and perhaps families, may not want to stay here.” 4
Service10 mentions
- “The innkeepers' gracious, personalized service more than makes up for the rusticity of the cottages.” 19
- “It also has a nice fitness center and full-service spa, as well as a large inventory of event space. Its 163 guest rooms are spacious and sophisticated, with minibars and upscale bathrooms -- though some guests complain of housekeeping and maintenance issues.” 4
- “Staff get mixed reviews, with some guests remarking that service is entirely too lax.” 16
- “In addition to full gourmet breakfasts served alfresco near the fountain, there's afternoon mint-tea service.” 19
- “My mom's room had its own garden area. We loved the small size so no real competing for chairs and the service was attentive.” 10
- “I love the V. Good rates, multiple eating options within walking distance. Check in is usually easy, parking is free. 2 nice size pools. I think it's the best deal in the area tbh.” 14
- “High on a hill overlooking the Coachella Valley, this posh resort spoils guests with exemplary service and comforts that include two pools, one of the desert's finest full-service spas, complimentary fitness classes, and two restaurants.” 19
- “Check in is usually easy, parking is free. 2 nice size pools. I think it's the best deal in the area tbh.” 14
- “The hip but rarefied air and attentive service attracts a well-heeled and worldly clientele, who seem to enjoy not only the smell of the citrus trees and the clubby soundtrack but also the wee bit of pretension.” 19
- “The room was a bitt dirty. Seemed like it hasn't been cleaned in a couple days.” 14
Location7 mentions
- “Under the shadow of the San Jacinto Mountains, this South Palm Springs hotel is only three minutes on foot from the gorgeous Moorten Botanical Garden. Better still, it's three by car from downtown and, as a result, offers easy access to top attractions, along with a wealth of dining, shopping, and nightlife options.” 16
- “The Colony Palms is top shelf. I stayed there a few years ago. Awesome decor, vibe and a block away from downtown.” 10
- “Location was good - Uber to downtown Palm Springs was really easy.” 10
- “I love the V. Good rates, multiple eating options within walking distance.” 14
- “The third hotel from a thriving new name in West Coast hospitality is a neutral-toned nirvana that combines a touch of Tulum with mid-century nods and offers a desirable location, free self-parking, and suites and studios that can accommodate individuals and couples or groups of varying sizes.” 19
- “At the crossroads of the Uptown Design District and the Movie Colony neighborhood, Alcazar, with its ample, modern, blazing-white guest rooms that wrap around a sparkling pool, does hip, simple, and comfortable well-and at a more affordable price point than most of its competitors.” 19
- “When we go to Palm Springs, we usually stay at Lucille Palm Springs. It's like it's own mini oasis but still walking distance to all the attractions downtown.” 10
Value14 mentions
- “Status-Investment980 • 2y ago It was when Sonder owned it. It was when Sonder owned it. Now it's not properly maintained and the new owners tacked on additional fees. It's no longer affordable.” 14
- “Riviera Resort and Spa is not so bad but I really don't think it's worth the money. We stayed there once and won't do that again.” 10
- “I love the V. Good rates, multiple eating options within walking distance. Check in is usually easy, parking is free. 2 nice size pools. I think it's the best deal in the area tbh.” 14
- “There's also a spacious pool with the requisite loungers, daybeds, and poolside bar/eatery, as well as a hot tub, fire pit, and small fitness room. However, the overall style borders on sterile, the pool can get noisy, and the features don't justify the property's resort fee.” 16
- “Rates are competitive, but an expensive resort fee increases the overall cost.” 4
- “But in a year of being open you can see the food and beverage options failed and the room rate is probably 1 / 3rd of what they expected.” 14
- “The rooms look tired, with cheap bedspreads and worn carpets.” 4
- “While the units are low-frills and a bit dated, reasonable rates make them a good choice for budget-conscious travelers seeking quiet, residence-style lodgings.” 4
- “While the ambiance is easy to beat, the price is not.” 4
- “Guests have noted a pesky resort fee and that lounge space by the pool can be limited.” 4
- “Though on the smaller side, the rooms have a hip Moroccan-inspired decor (some have fireplaces and patios) and the rates are highly competitive for a hotel of this caliber in Palm Springs.” 4
- “V Palm is a very good price but its not the nicest hotel. I would stay there if i were traveling on a budget.” 14
- “The resort fee is hefty at $60, but it funds lots of extras like poolside snacks, borrowable bikes, and welcome drinks.” 19
- “I love the V. Good rates, multiple eating options within walking distance.” 14
Food13 mentions
- “The center of the Colony-verse is the pool courtyard, with its darling striped cabanas and umbrellas, which is where you'll find the bar and the excellent contemporary-American restaurant.” 19
- “The stellar Lola Rose restaurant is an epicurean adventure curated by Chopped-winning chef Quentin Garcia that sends your taste buds on an Eastern Mediterranean tour for three meals a day.” 15
- “In the morning, guests and the convivial innkeepers gather for a light breakfast.” 15
- “Caliente Tropic is probably the best of the moderately priced places-in large part because they don't try to be anything they're not. Good food and drink, as well.” 14
- “The on-site Mexican restaurant, Maleza, serves tasty Baja bites like tacos, ceviche, queso fundido, chilaquiles, and breakfast churros.” 19
- “The Del Ray had the best food.” 10
- “Rooms hug a central stone-tiled pool, an open-air barn/bar where guests converge for conversation and coffee-table books, an all-day kitchen, and sitting nooks near the vegetable garden. There are no TVs in the rooms, but the Wi-Fi is fast, and the sun-dappled courtyard is calling anyway.” 19
- “There's eclectic art to contemplate, Bluetooth speakers to add music, and coffee-table books to peruse while sipping delicious Canyon Coffee or a natural wine commandeered from the on-site bodega, which also carries Wonder Valley bath products and kitchenette provisions.” 19
- “And while guests can help themselves to free snacks and hot drinks, and bar service is available, there's no restaurant, which means no breakfast.” 4
- “The Best Western Plus Las Brisas next door has cheaper rates that include an excellent breakfast -- though some of its decor is dated.” 4
- “But otherwise recreational facilities are few and the hotel's full-scale farm-to-table restaurant still hasn't opened after repeated delays (optimists are now hoping for late 2017).” 16
- “As the tallest building in town, this upscale boutique hotel dazzles locals and guests (especially the under-45 set) with stunning mountain and twinkling, after-dark, urban views from rooms, the bar, the seventh-floor restaurant, and the deck that surrounds the city's lone rooftop pool.” 19
- “Secluded nooks and black-and-white-striped cabanas make for excellent lounging. You can dine indoors or poolside on healthful Latin fare at the stylish restaurant, Chi Chi.” 19
Room14 mentions
- “Rooms are soothing and sumptuous, so it will take some convincing to get out of bed.” 19
- “The under powered window acs that can't keep up with the summer heat.” 14
- “While decor is dated and generic, the property is clean and functional, and rooms are equipped with air-conditioning, microwaves, and mini-fridges.” 4
- “It's far from fancy, with dark cream-and-brown rooms with wood-paneled ceilings and furniture in a mish mash of styles, so it's better suited to those making a purposeful pilgrimage than to those who seek pampering.” 19
- “All accommodations are striking, with bold wallpaper and velvety furniture, yet comfortable, with Frette linens, custom beds, and Le Labo bath products.” 19
- “Studios, suites, and stand-alone casitas feature dark woods, Zellige tile, burnished metals, and rich colors like hunter green and burnt orange, which, when assembled just so, create a tailored, refined, farmhouse-meets-Santa-Fe-artist-studio vibe.” 19
- “The recuperation will continue in your spacious room, which will likely have a kitchenette and a patio hammock and will definitely be swathed in soothing organic tones and have gorgeous tile, custom millwork, and a bed built for deep sleep.” 19
- “The aesthetic was gorgeous- the room we were in was really spacious with two separate bedrooms and the beds were comfy.” 10
- “Shampoo and conditioner in the room are good quality brands. The shower window is nice for natural light.” 13
- “The hotel's 52 guest rooms tend to be roomy with funky decor and functional amenities like mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers.” 4
- “Though on the smaller side, the rooms have a hip Moroccan-inspired decor (some have fireplaces and patios) and the rates are highly competitive for a hotel of this caliber in Palm Springs.” 4
- “The Best Western Plus Las Brisas next door has cheaper rates that include an excellent breakfast -- though some of its decor is dated.” 4
- “Although some of the furniture feels like its part of an IKEA golden age collection, the property has added such mod cons as Keurig coffeemakers, flat-screens, and pillowtop beds.” 15
- “While the design here is eye-catching in black, yellow, and ivory, and rooms are stylish enough, the furniture and upholstery shows minor wear.” 4
Bed & Sleep1 mention
- “The scene is energetic enough to convince you to leave the cozy confines of your fluffy bed.” 15
Bathroom3 mentions
- “Across the board, the handsome bathrooms boast quartz-topped teak vanities, generously sized showers trimmed in subway tile, and welcome bonuses like hooded robes and tempting Malin+Goetz bath products. But glass partitions used in place of shower curtains, while attractive, can leave water on the floor.” 16
- “Landscaped with native plants, the 1-acre oasis, with its thatch-shaded soaking tubs that are continuously refilled with fresh mineral water, is its true secret weapon. It also features glorious valley and mountain views, a bucket shower, and a reflexology walk.” 19
