Was staying at the Mojave across the street and decided to stop by to see the Mod for a possible future booking. Was told by the person in the office (Jean?) that the Mod is now a sobriety rehab facility. Must be more money in catering to rich drunks...still a very pretty place, but the rates have probably increased. more

This traveler was disinformed... The Mod is not a rehab .. It is now a Sober Retreat... it is a long stay or short stay retreat. Please call if you have any questions.

We had a perfect stay at The MOD last year, but for some ridiculous reason we decided to book something different this time, just to check out another desert community. What a mistake. One night there, and we were on the phone to Laura at The MOD, begging for a room. She even remembered us from our last visit, and... more

My husband and I spent two nights at the Mod Resort and enjoyed it a lot. The location is excellent. The room is small, but the bathroom is very modern and very nice.We liked the flat-screen tv. The grounds and the room are immaculate. Laura is very helpful and gave us excellent suggestions for restaurants in the vicinity. She even... more

If you like funky, trendy, unique places, The Mod Resort is the place to be. The decor is beautiful and the rooms are very clean. It is located walking distance to all the restaurants and shops of El Paseo Dr. so you don't even have to drive. Laura is very friendly and mingles with the guests to get to know... more

This stay blew away my expectations! From the minute you arrive, Laura is ready to take care of you. From the personalized introduction to your room, to setting an outdoor table for us while we went out to pick up a take-out lunch, to picking fresh grapefruit from the tree in the courtyard and squeezing it into a fresh grapefruit... more

Overrated!!

After reading the reviews, we decided to skip our usual fabulous Viceroy in PS and try something new. We found The Mod to be wildly overrated, Laura to be not just friendly but downright intrusive. As far as service goes - there is a great little kitchen complete with coffee maker....but....NO coffee! No room service here folks!! The rooms are... more

We spent three wonderful nights and 4 wonderful days at the MOD. It was like being on an island, away from the real world. The grounds are so peaceful and dreamy. You really feel like you are on an island, surrounded by Palm Trees and incredible sunsets. The rooms are perfectly retro and immaculate. Laura, the owner, is terrific. She... more

My wife and I stayed at the Mod Resort for two nights, December 30th and 31st. Due to a large group's last minute cancellation, we had the place to ourselves. Laura was so accomodating that we felt more like friends than guests. Next time we hope to stay longer. The grounds are much larger and better landscaped (including grass) than... more

We have been wanting to stay at the Mod ever since finding it online and seeing the photos. Then, we drove by while in town once, looking at real estate in Palm Desert. We stopped in and met the owner, Laura. She was nice enough to show us around and tell us the story of the renovation, and we developed... more
