Each room opens onto the central courtyard which has a family pool and adult pool,gazebo, and fountain. And each room has a patio so you can enjoy it. Upstairs patios are more private. Seniors beware, this is an older hotel so there is no elevator. However, staff is very happy to carry your luggage upstairs. In fact, all the staff... More

We stayed at the Garden Vista the night before we hiked to the top of San Jacinto from the Aerial Tramway. I was very pleased with the size of our room, which had a king-sized bed plus a sofa and table/chairs. It also had two vanities with sinks - one in the bathroom and one outside the bathroom - and...

I originally booked through Reservation-Desk.com...traveling with two older teens. I phoned the hotel to confirm our request to be first floor, near the pool.

My room was clean and spacious with a good bed. AC worked well and no noise from the neighbors. The two pools were great--one for kids and one for the adults. Overall, a very good bargain at $89 a night.

Reminds me of a favorite motel I used to like in the midwest when I was a child in the 70's that has changed hands 3 times since and had no mantainance.... More

Easy parking. Gay friendly. A very attractive ADULTS ONLY pool with very comfortable sun beds. VERY helpful, friendly staff: We had 2 or 3 issues (nothing worth mentioning) and they sorted... More

The location is GREAT - the hotel average. BUT DO NOT have a problem and take it up at the front desk! The staff is nice and professional. We had an issue and brought it up to the staff and they were trying to accomodate us but the OWNER was there and boy, was he rude and unaccomodating. He told... More

My wife and I came down to Palm Springs for the first week of the Coachella Festival. The hotel was packed but the service was great and our room very clean and inviting. There were some new faces since our last visit, but everyone was professional and friendly. One of our favorite features of the Garden Vista is the separate... More
