Renaissance Palm Springs Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed 3 days, we enjoyed the pool the only complaint was not enough umbrellas for the number of lounge chairs. Too many chairs with no umbrellas. Customer Service in the pool area was great! The pool workers were excellent at their job. The restaurant has always been a perfect touch with excellent service and food. The room was clean but the bed was terrible could not get a good sleep due to the bad mattress and bad pillows my wife and I, kept tossing and turning could not sleep. Our backs and shoulders hurt from the uncomfortable bed. The carpet needs to be up dated or at least shampooed to brighten and deodorize. Also the TV was very dark while watching it with no way to adjust. The balcony chairs and tables look nice but they are too large for the size of the balcony. It’s very tight to move around to get in and out. Overall we do like the hotel, the front desk and all the other workers were very nice and helpful."

Hotel Paseo, Autograph Collection by Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this property was excellent and quaint. The location was amazing and the beds were perfect. The only suggestion I could make is to paint the will stops in the handicap parking spaces as my friend tripped over one because they were the same color as the concrete"

The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert

8/10 Good

"Very nice place. Loved the friendliness of the staff. Wish the restaurant/bar had longer hours. Only thing was our room didn’t come get cleaned or restocked we were there 2 nights 3 days. Usually I’ve seen at least the bed and trash getting taken care of. Which made it messy because people left their trash out by the hallway. But stay was comfortable."

La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Pros: - Good for all ages (couples, children, etc) - A lot of room types - Historic feel, character - Multiple pools Cons: - Our a/c unit was making a loud sound so we had trouble sleeping our 1st night, but the staff moved us the 2nd night to a better room and we slept great - We couldn't find 2 lounge chairs available at the adults only pool (so we went somewhere else) - When it's hot, the resort is spread out and it's uncomfortable to walk far"

The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The staff at the property are phenomenal! We arrived and they immediately made up the sofa bed. Wouldn’t take a tip! Johnnie in housekeeping and Tracy at the bar were so wonderful! The fees were a bit ridiculous though! $40 per night for respite fee and then an additional $23 per night to SELF PARK. It’s huge outdoor parking with no shade. What exactly are we paying for? We’re already staying at the property, paying a resort fee and also had to pay to park our vehicle. Seemed like price gouging. Otherwise it was a very relaxing property!"
