I found the Orbit In on line when I went searching for a last-minute place to stay in Palm Springs. The idea of staying in a restored mid-century 9-room motel seemed like an amusing escape. In our leisure time my husband and I avoid large hotels (too impersonal) and B&Bs (forced comraderie? too much potpourri?), so this seemed like a... more

Supremely friendly service, excellent location to explore PS' main areas on foot (ask the manager for his favourite picks and you won't be disappointed) and awesome style of the rooms. A lot of attention to detail regarding decoration and atmosphere to recreate times past. Join the diverse crowd at the pool at 'Orbitini Hour' for chitchat over a free cocktail... more

This is out 4th visit and each time, it just gets better. The rooms are superb, beds induce hours of sleep to re-charge those batteries and the bar area great to meet new people. Breakfast is much improved and the manager Jade looks after you fantastically. I can't think of a single thing I don't like about it, even the... more

My wife and I had an amazing time at this hotel! The owners have done a fantastic job creating a retro hotel that isn't kitsch but classic Atomic modern. Your instantly transported to the rat-pack era of Palm Springs with the period correct furniture, courtyard, pool, and boomerang shaped bar. Our room was the Albert Frey room complete with fireplace,... more

Great location close to everything with lots of places to ride your courtesy bike to and driveable to the rest. Everyone was like minded and were staying there for the same reasons. Mature guests and the Orbitini hour was fun and free! Owners were very nice and had perfect recommendations for anything we were interested in. If you want the... more

I took a group of friends to the Orbit In for a 60th birthday party just last week. We took over the entire place -- only 9 rooms -- but what an experience. This is a place that is very much part of the Palm Springs retro movement. A 50's motel that has been meticulously restored to that most amazing... more

My husband and I just spent one week of our two-week honeymoon in California at the Orbit In and loved it ... again. We first stayed at the Orbit In in 2006. We knew then that when we returned to Palm Springs, we wouldn't consider another hotel. We read here that the hotel had changed ownership (in 2007), so we... more

My wife and I were lucky enough to visit the Orbit Inn for 3 nights in September 09. The Inn is a very sociable scenario set around a lovely pool with great rooms evoking the mid century architecture that is the real Palm Springs.We were made so welcome by the owners and staff that it felt like we were at... more

My wife and I were in Southern California for our honeymoon and spent part of it in Palm Springs at the Orbit In. We enjoyed our initial 3 day stay so much that we returned during our three week honeymoon, two more times to stay at the Orbit In. The views from the Albert Frey Lounge are stunning, not to... more
