We booked at the Hideaway, the companion property of the Orbit In, a week in advance and had nice time during our short stay. Loved the authenticity of the properties and the personal attentiveness of the management and owner. This is not a bland, corporate kind of place. It has character, which we found charming, but it is quirky. For... More

The reviews from others are true. The Orbit In is unique. The owners are very much hands-on and are meticulous with details. Even the bikes are great. It's quiet and attracts a great group of people are clients. The pool is heated, the cocktails are good and the advice is spot on. You can't go wrong staying here. More

Very pleasant visit. We stayed two nights at the Hideaway location. All rooms face the beautifully landscaped courtyard, lawn & pool with a breathtaking view of the mountains looming above you. The building is one story in an L shape around the courtyard. Each room has its own patio with chairs and a view. Website has photos of individual rooms.... More

We just stayed at the Hideaway property in early December for 2 nights and loved it. We booked the Orbit In but were moved because Palm Springs was having a "Walk of the Inns" annual event where the public is invited to walk through many different Palm Springs vintage hotels. The Hideaway and Orbit In are separate properties on W.... More

When I made our reservations, I wasn't sure what to expect. Even though the inn received solid reviews, I was concerned that it was going to feel/look too vintagey. I initially messed up the reservation, but the hotel staff worked with me to get everything resolved. The staff was uniformly very polite and accomodating. When we arrived after the drive... More

Excellent stay. My husband and I spent one night at the Orbit In and one night at the Hideaway right after Christmas and both evenings were wonderful. The Orbit In has a younger, more fun feel (with bar at pool) and the room we stayed was more spacious with full vintage kitchen. We enjoyed having the record player, which wasn't... More

Great clean rooms with a fun mid century flair. We stayed at the Atomic room (105) which faces the mountains and had a great time. Owners Kevin and Jeanie (sp) and manager Bill were friendly and helpful with recommendations. We stayed three nights at the Orbit and one night at the Hideaway, their sister location and it was nice too.... More

We stayed at the orbit inn for a wedding that was held in palm springs. This hotels design has stayed true to it's original since opining around the 50's I think. It's retro design is so cool and laid back. The staff were so welcoming and friendly on first arrival and throughout the duration of our three day stay. The... More

Pros: (There are so many!) Clean Bed & Breakfast feel EXTREMELY friendly staff (Owner often on site, talking to guests) Nostalgic Quiet Walking distance the "main" street Free use of beach cruisers AC works great! Cons: (Not many at all) Small TV's "Vintage charm" can translate to "old" for some. (Although I loved it!) Summary: Stay here for a non-hotel... More
