Top Palm Desert Hotel Reviews

Marriott's Desert Springs Villas II

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very spacious. We loved the balcony"

Motel 6 Palm Desert, CA - Palm Springs Area

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay I'm from north Carolina I got stuck out here. Do the unfortunate events, the staff was so helpful. Warm and welcoming parking was great. The rooms were nice and cold. Cause it's hot out here, it's just a really nice place. I'm I'll be back definitely."

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Palm Desert Coachella Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable stay, but a small detail missed! We had a really nice stay overall with no major complaints. The beds were very comfortable, and the bathroom was a great size, offering plenty of room to move around. My only minor critique is that I wish they provided liquid hand soap instead of the traditional small bars. The little bars of soap tended to stick to the soap dish and break apart into little pieces. Aside from that, it was a pleasant stay and we would be happy to return!"

Perch – 2026 Vrbo Vacation Rental of the Year | Luxury Geo Dome w/ Pickleball

10/10 Excellent

""This house is pristine! Our family stayed here for my husband's 40th Birthday and were welcomed with champagne!! We loved the everything, the outdoor area is outstanding. They covered every aspect, hammocks, firepit, dinning table surrounded by beautiful flowers, ping pong etc.""

Courtyard by Marriott Palm Desert

10/10 Excellent

"I want to compliment the front desk staff, Callie, when we checked in on Sunday. She provided excellent customer service that I have not experienced in a long time. We arrived early, but Callie was able to accommodate my request for an early check-in. During the wait, she recommended places to shop and eat, along with directions, while we waited for the room to be prepared; she offered to store our luggage and took our phone number to call us as soon as the room became available. On our return, she offered us goodie bags because of the overhead construction. We were so tired that we didn't hear anything. The guy who worked Sunday was great as well. I failed to get his name. It was extremely hot that day, but your staff made the trip enjoyable."
