If you're looking to be pampered with room service, valets, and champagne brunches, Desert Hills may not be the place for you. But if you're looking for comfort, a friendly atmosphere and a place to just stretch out and a place to just stretch out and relax, Desert Hills is the place to be. Palm Sorings is famous for its... more

Four of us spent a weekend in the 2-bedroom unit and were pleasantly surprised to have a full size kitchen, living room and dining area. The rooms were very clean and decorated well. It is an easy walk to Starbucks and downtown. Although we went out for dinner we noticed several guest using the large gas BBQ's. We learned that... more

Our third visit to Desert Hills Resort in two years. We love the location, the staff, the pool, the other guests, the rooms, the services...okay....we LOVE everything about the place. It is "Doris Day" cool. I dream about going there before my vacation even starts and I dream about going back once I get home. Jim is a great host.... more

Of all of the hotels located in the tennis club area of Palm Springs, Desert Hills is the clear winner. We stayed for several days and attended the file festival. Many venues were an easy walk from the hotel. Unlike other higher ranked properties on this site, Desert Hills has nicer grounds, bigger rooms, a quieter location and an unrivaled... more

When you book a room sight unseen, you're always a little leary of the results. No problem here, though - we couldn't have been happier with our stay. This place has it all -- great location, friendly, accommodating staff, happy guests, cozy beds, beautiful grounds --- all the superlatives you can think of. Can't wait to go back for a... more

We stayed here for two nights at the start of our road trip round California. We were looking for a place with old school cool factor and we certainly got it at Desert Hills. The building and room decor is very in keeping with the whole Frank Lloyd Wright era and really made us feel like we had stepped back... more

We were looking for a quick get-a-way. The idea of taking a step back in time in Old Palm Springs. We picked the right place. The room was mostly clean. comfortable bed with wonderful accouterments. The bathroom was a little funky (very awkward and shabby ie moldy molding and flaking caulk) The grounds were very secluded and well maintained. We... more

Stayed 3 nights at Desert Hills Hotel during Thanksgiving break. The hotel is quiet and solidly built so you don't hear noise from other guests in other rooms. It's close to downtown Palm Springs (4 blocks), but far enough that you don't hear the street noise. The only negative comment I have is on one of the mornings of our... more

I just returned from a welcome stay at Desert Hills. Perfect for a girls weekend! Desert Hills invites relaxation with its beautiful pool & hot tub nestled near the scenic San Jacinto Mountains. The charming retro 50s style adds to the ambience. The staff are very friendly & accommodating. Being within walking distance from downtown Palm Prings is a plus.... more
