By the amount we paid, we weren't expecting much. The pictures looked too good to be true, but wow! Were we surprised! We walked into a newly renovated lobby and was greated by a chearful and helpful manager, Brian, who checked us in and recommended a great place for dinner, The Falls (which we also LOVED). The room was also... More

Stayed here for 2 nights after reading the reviews and would agree with most of them after our nice stay. Have realistic expectations of what you get for $75 in Palm Springs during high season and you'll be more than happy. Rooms were large, clean but generally a bit dated/basic. The AC/heating unit was from the 70's and kept cutting... More

Check in was easy, friendly and competent. Room was clean, with a super comfy bed and ersatz tiki theme. They have updated this old time motel with a fun and funky vibe. Huge pool would have been fab if I had brought a suit. Location is a mile or so from the strip with hundreds of restaurants and shops. Downtown... More

The only good part, Beds Comfy, Staff Nice. We booked the Deluxe room with view of pool and has a "Lanai" The Lanai was at the pool not outside room as I understood. We had 2 towels and washcloths and shared a facetowel. No soap, only 1 cup,1 glass and NO ice bucket. It took 2 hours to get this... More

I stayed here recently on a Saturday night when damaging winds tore through the entire area, and although there were hiccups during my stay, overall I was satisfied with the hotel and my stay. For the price I paid (in the $70 dollar range with taxes) and just taking a look at the website, I honestly wasn't expecting much except... More

We stayed at the Caliente in early January and paid just over $80 a night. Our room was large by any standard (Lanaii King room) on the second floor closer to the back of the motel. My memory of the room is the king size bed and how ridiculously comfortable it was. I really don't think it was a special... More

This hotel is the first one I ever wanted to like but couldn't. Pros: Location Value Comfortable Beds Big Rooms Pool Cons: WiFi issues $100 Holding Fee Now, the reason I wanted to like it was for the pros. The hotel rooms are actually pretty good but wiFi is definitely an issue. The manager of the hotel can be found... More

We stayed here for 2 nights with our 8 month old daughter. The staff could not have been more pleasant and helpful and we were very happy with how modern, attractive and comfortable our room was. It was more spacious than a typical "motel" room and the bed was incredibly inviting and comfortable. They provided us with a pack &... More

We found this place online and booked directly with the hotel as to make sure they knew we had their best interest in mind (booking through budget sites tend to bring in less revenue for the hotels they sell for). The management and staff have been bent over backwards to make sure we were happy with our stay. My partner... More
