Good vibes at the Skylark
Pros:

The relaxed retro vibe, the pool and firepit area in the evenings was great for chilling. Hotel staff were friendly, accommodating and helpful, thanks Walter. Breakfast was decent. Good location for walking to restaurants and bars downtown.

Cons:

The room had a very strong smell, probably the cleaning supplies, which was constant, and presented again each time you walked into the room. No fresh fruit served at the breakfast, but lots of bacon :)

Zéro défaut à part le breakfast
Pros:

L'endroit est super. Belle vue, belle piscine, chambres propres

Cons:

Quel dommage ce petit déjeuner. Rien de bien. Pas de jus de fruits, pas de choix. On demande un cappucino et finalement on se retrouve avec un café au lait... même les pommes de terre n'étaient pas cuites...

A very pleasant stay
Pros:

A 50׳s renovated hotel that kept its style and atmosphere without being too hype. The room was comfortable and clean, the pool area is pleasant and calm. Breakfast at the dining area was a nice bonus. Location is great.

Cons:

Rooms are quiet basic, mainly the restrooms.

Palm Springs Classic
Pros:

Loved the 24 hour pool, easy parking, and friendly staff. It was a classically iconic Palm Springs experience -- even in walking distance to a great tiki bar.

Cons:

The bathroom wasn't the most elegant, but totally good for the money and clean, though I would've appreciated more places to hang wet swimsuits and towels.

Quiet location and great pool.
Pros:

We arrived after 10pm and the individual at reception was very welcoming. The pool and hot tub were great and open late. The bed was comfortable. Wish we could have stayed more than one night.

Cons:

A music playing alarm in the room next to us started at 5am and lasted about 20 minutes. It was annoying.

Low Key
Pros:

Location/view, well maintained grounds, free parking, bathrobes, water filing station, pool, and continental breakfast.

Cons:

Since it is an older, yet freshened property the rooms were on the smaller side. I wasn’t wowed yet it’s an older motel. Our room was clean yet the bathroom and shower were very small. It also seemed that some of the rooms are more appointed than others, the room we stayed in was very minimal, very little art/character which was a bit disappointing from the advertised photos.
