In our opinion Hotel California is the only place to stay while in Palm Springs,CA. Quite and quaint. The owners, Larry and Patty, and staff are like family, housekeeping is impeccable and the amenities are too numerous to mention. The surrounding area is safe and clean with a variety of restaurants within walking distance and you always have the limo... More

We booked this hotel based on the rave reviews on tripadvisor and were not disappointed.The team are very friendly and helpful without being 'in your face'. Lots of small things such as the loan of a coolbox for our day in the desert, free internet access and hot coffee in addition to the impeccable surroundings. What they have done with... More

We enjoyed three nights at the Hotel California in Feb. 2012, and were very happy with the choice. As others have pointed out, the lovely heated pool and surrounding courtyard are most attractive and almost unimaginably serene, given that they are just a few yards from a busy road. We spent every afternoon there. There was a charming gas fire... More

This small hotel is charming. The staff is extremely accommodating and will do anything to make your stay wonderful. With only 13 rooms, a very private pool, spa and patio area it's a great place to relax or meet new friends. We recommended the hotel to some friends attending the same event and they loved it! They couldn't get over... More

This small and cozy hotel was just fantastic! I have never stayed at a place that captured my imagination in such a way before. Wonderful garden and pool area, with hummingbirds and a jacuzzi ever so sweet. Had the pleasure of meeting the owner Larry and his lovely daughter Lucy - great people and a great place! Thanks.. :) More

The Hotel California was all it was hyped up to be. Very friendly staff (Lucy and Larry). We were greeted very cordially with an offer of something to drink, nice touch. The grounds were immaculate from the landscaping to the pool and jacuzzi areas. Very peaceful and quiet, which is a big change from larger hotels.The rooms were very clean... More

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel California for two days just after Thanksgiving weekend. We were extremely pleased. The hotel is small, which is great when you want to get away from the crowds, and the owners were so nice. The pool is heated and you can use it late at night. They just ask you to keep... More

What more can I say that every review you read has said. We booked this hotel based on it's rating and the reviews. Let's say what it's not. It's not located in downtown Palm Springs- Good for us, hardly any traffic and quiet at night. It only takes about 5 minutes to get downtown. It is not a party hotel-... More
