Short but sweet
Pros:

Good location for us. We really liked that it was not a huge complex. Very quiet

Cons:

We actually had no complaints and would book again if we are ever back in the area.

Price was high - this was due to Coachella and I understand this is industry standard during prime times

Staff and amenities were nice but the rooms were a little tired
Pros:

The staff was very nice and the outdoor atmosphere was charming. The location was good. We were in town for a wedding and we could walk to enough things for our purposes. Parking was easy

Cons:

The rooms were a little tired looking. Later in the week we stayed in another absolutely beautiful hotel for the same price. We could walk to some things but needed to drive to get to the downtown area. It was nice to have free continental breakfast but the food wasn't great. Also, there aren't a lot of rooms and they all surround the courtyard pool. There were people out there all the time and they would save their seats at the pool overnight. There was nowhere to go to get away from the group

Weekend getaway
Pros:

Such a charming hotel! Conveniently located near the center of Palm Springs but very quiet. We were in town for the Tour de Palm Springs and Terry made us welcome and made sure our bikes were safe. Linda and the entire staff were great. Nice offerings for breakfast. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

Charming Older Hotel, Great Value
Pros:

This is a charming small older hotel that has been refurbished. The staff is great, personable and treat you like family. If you have special needs, they go out of their way to address them, such as getting gluten free food for the included breakfast for a family member with celiac disease. The breakfast kitchen is well stocked, and every room has free (unlike at chain hotels) snacks, water and sodas. Quiet and clean, a great value. Better than the downtown hotels where traffic and parking is a pain.

Great stay near the Tour de Palm Springs.
Pros:

We had a great stay at Hotel California. The staff is accommodating and friendly. The hotel has a lush and inviting courtyard and a heated pool. The rooms are clean and the bed is comfortable. The breakfast nook has a variety of items for your needs.
It was a bit pricey but probably comparable to the other hotels nearby. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved this place!
Pros:

Great place to stay in Palm Springs! Our room, Unit 1 was spacious and nicely decorated. The shower was a large walk in. Reading lamps on both sides of the comfortable king size bed. Our unit had a small kitchen area--bar sink, dorm size frig, microwave, coffee pot. There is a common kitchen with pots and pads and dishware for those wishing to cook. Complimentary breakfast had many choices, including good yogurts and bottled juices. The pool area was very nice and both inviting and relaxing. All the staff we dealt with was wonderful. We picked Palm Springs as a place to stay while exploring Joshua Tree, and picked Hotel California, because, why not with a name like that. Very happy that we did. This historic place was a great find! Would stay again with more time to relax by the pool.

Wonderful hotel in great location
Pros:

My husband and I just got back from a 5 night stay at Hotel California. The customer service, beautiful landscaping, and great people made this a wonderful stay. It is very close to downtown Palm Springs but in a quieter area, which was nice, and there are several restaurants and a great coffee shop within walking distance of the hotel. Enjoyed our time at the pool and hot tub, and the community kitchen made for a convenient way to eat a little healthier while traveling. Definitely recommend!
