We thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful four day mini vacation at the Desert Riviera Hotel in Palm Springs. Could so many “excellent” reviews placing Desert Riviera number one really be true we wondered. It’s all true. They are Number One. Their secret ingredients are the resident owners and family who want their guests to have a superior experience at their hotel... more

Everything at this resort is great. Service is second to none (Patti, Larry and family were more than helpful from start to finish offering great restaurant recommendations, driving directions, complimentary drinks and just a nice chat every now and then). Room was immaculate and large (we stayed in room 10). Resort is very trendy but not pretencious. Location and value... more

We stayed in Room #9 - this is just beautiful (as they all are) This one has a king size bed and kitchen - the pool area is lovely and there is a bar-b-que available. Perfect location - you can walk downtown. Wonderful hosts, Larry, Judy, Steve and Patty. 50's motif - we were there last year and are very... more

I just returned to Canada from an 8 day stay in Palm Springs. Normally I stay in brand name 5 star hotels but decided to try this one out due to it`s number #1 ranking in the USA of all hotels on Tripadvisor. I made the wise choice! Larry ( one of the owners ) picked me up in his... more

...and it was perfect, as always! We will be back next year! The staff is so accommodating and friendly, we wouldn't think of going anywhere else! It was wonderful and relaxing (even WITH the motorcycle convention going on in Palm Springs!). I won't go on and on except to say that everyone we bring with us every year raves, and... more

The hotel is adorable, the accomodations are very nice, comfortable, clean and welcoming. But the best part is the hotel management...they are wonderful! The nicest people...they do whatever they can to welcome you and make you feel at home. There is coffee and fruit in a common area for everyone, and rooms stocked with complimentary sodas, water and snacks. The... more

We stayed a week at what Larry calls "his backyard" the Desert Riviera Hotel and can very happily confirm that everything positively written on this web site was spot on. We had high expectations and were not disappointed. Welcomed by Larry's sister, Judy, ( Larry was travelling back from Oregon) the offer of a cold beer was gratefully accepted before... more

Okay, we admit to being sceptical about the glowing reviews of this hotel and its owners and staff but very soon learned that every bit of praise is entirely deserved. This is a very special place and (after some clever room juggling by Judy) we managed to extend our stay from 2 to 5 nights. We have stayed in some... more

We booked the DR for the last three nights of our two week road trip and couldn't have been happier. Arriving late after a five hour drive Larry offered us a glass then a bottle each of wine, showed us around then left us to ourselves by the poolside firepit. "Just help yourselves. This is your home for the next... more
