Great location in the best part of the Coachella Valley
Pros:

The location is excellent. Walking distance to downtown Palm Springs. We slept very well in the king size bed.

Cons:

Some people may not be able to fit through the shower door ha ha. I guess people were slimmer back in the day; however we were fine.

A Retro Oasis
Pros:

Room 15 was fantastic! Stylish and comfortable. Exactly what I was hoping for with my first trip to Palm Springs! Loved the Historic Tennis Club neighborhood. Quiet, but walkable to restaurants.

Cons:

The entrance gate was hard to find because the GPS sent us to the wrong side.
