We enjoyed three days in the quietness of the garden, around the pool, taking hours to wake up with a superb breakfast (loads of fresh fruit!). It was so relaxing we did not do any of our planned excursions (except the Tramway). With only fifteen rooms we loved the intimacy of this hotel. The discreet and friendly staff took care... more

While living in San Francisco, I traveled continually between the desert and the city. Always visiting for a weekend away in Palm Springs, I stayed continually at East Canyon. The only worthwhile gay hotel in Palm Springs, and the only non-clothing optional, East Canyon offers a beautiful, calm, restful space not available at other gay resorts. It also has a... more

Richard and his staff at the East Canyon Hotel and Spa provide a comforting, clean and friendly resort in Palm Springs. Located just before hitting the downtown strip, so it's not too loud, but also not too far from dining and bars. From the moment I arrived, I felt very welcome. As I arrived after office hours, they left me... more

I stayed for an extended weekend. I arrived on a late flight and every effort was taken that everything I'd need to check in would be ready when I arrived. The room wasn't "shiny and new" but was more than acceptable. Comfy bed and the walk-in roomy shower was a big plus. The rooms are set up around the pool... more

My partner and I stayed here for a long weekend (3 nights.) The hotel is small but well maintained with a nice pool and spa area. We met some friendly and interesting people while lounging by the pool. I've been to another gay hotel in the Warms Sands area that had a bathhouse feel to it, but not so here.... more

I had the best time. I told Richard (the owner) I was putting "write a review" at the top of my to-do list when I returned home This was my first foray to a gay resort and I really didn’t know what to expect. What I found was a charming host, wonderful staff, clean-as-a-whistle accommodations, friendly guests, perfect setting and... more

OK, I'll admit that another guest house (where I'd stayed previously) was my first choice upon my return to Palm Springs. However, they didn't call me back or respond to emails so I moved on and found East Canyon. And am I ever glad that I did! What a find! Personal service makes East Canyon stand out. I really enjoyed... more

I have a friend that says that the words gay and classy don't go together. East Canyon is just this kind of place. From the moment we opened the gates and walked thru to the courtyard the excitement grew. Our welcome letter said that we were in room 8 which was the last room on the end behind the jacuzzi.... more

We stay at East Canyon every time we go to Palm Springs; we wouldn't miss it! A wonderful and relaxing atmosphere, great spa, and EXCELLENT, friendly staff make even a short stay feel like a vacation!!! more
