We had an exemplary experience at the Hotel California beginning with a wonderful greeting by Lucy. The hotel and rooms are beautiful and the staff is helpful, warm and generous. The prevailing attitude is to make sure that their guests are relaxed and happy and they do everything they can to make that happen. Wonderful place.Great kitchen and we were... More

My husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary here and had a wonderful time. The room was beautiful and was spotless. We used the pool daily and socialized with quite a few people. The whole staff was very personable and helpful. We plan on coming back here for our next visit.

This was my second choice (to their sister property Desert Riviera) and we were not disappointed. What I liked: small hotel (14 rooms), cozy outdoor nooks and crannies to sit, water features, well-stocked modern community kitchen, refers in rooms, adults-only policy, available beach-cruisers to ride around/into PS, limo-service at night into PS, and the amazing family that owns/runs the joint....

Our trip to the US had us staying in 5 hotels and this was by far the best. If you want 5 star luxury....this isn't the place for you....but if you want 5 star service.....you won't better it! Small and intimate....comfortable rooms, a great kitchen that guests can use.....a cosy lounge area. But by far the best asset of this... More

We are just back from our second annual trip to Hotel California. Just like last year everything was perfect. Our room and the grounds were immaculate! Lucy was the perfect host and like last year the support staff were happy to assist in any way possible. Again the experience was so good that we rebooked for the same time next... More

Had a girls' weekend at the Hotel California, and we couldn't have been better taken care of. Lucy, Jay, and Larry made us feel so welcome, and they paid attention to all the details that made our trip so wonderful. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Just like the song says... You can NEVER leave! Or at least you will never want to! :) We originally booked only 2 nights but ended up staying for 4 because we were enjoying it so much. What we liked most was that it didn't feel like we were staying in a typical hotel. It felt more like home... like... More

Arrived to cool drinks and a very warm welcome from Lucy, and it just got better from there. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Many free amenities like bikes, movies, use of a fully equipped kitchen, and 24/7 pool access made it feel like visiting close friends, not a hotel. The courtyard with its fountain, fireplace, pools, and greenery was... More

My husband and I were first-time guests at Hotel California last week. There are not enough superlatives to describe this beautiful little boutique hotel, our expansive suite, the staff, the limo service or Lucy, the little dynamo who manages the hotel. Before our departure, we made reservations for next year to guarantee "our suite" will be available for more fun,... More
