For what I needed it for a 10/10 experience
Pros:

I loved where the hotel it located. It is just a few minutes away from the beach, Golden Gate Park is right across the way. Parking is accessible and easy to do.

Cons:

I really wish I could have open the window, unfortunately there was no screens on them so I was a bit hesitant. The bed was caved in but for the price you can over look something things.

Felt uneasy; staff were great, approachable
Pros:

There was no breakfast; coffee was good. Loved how close it is to the ocean and to Golden Gate Park

Cons:

We passed by an open door where it appeared that other customers were weighing drugs; homeless person in a car parked across the street. Room did not have simple amenities like soap, shampoo or a hair dryer, no bedside lamps, no chairs

Il n'y avait pas de micro ondes dans la chambre comme précisé dans l'annonce. Il y a bien un micro-onde à l'accueil qui est fermé le soir et jusqu'au lendemain dans la matinée

Excellent value for the price you pay
Pros:

Amazing stay with wonderful staff!

We absolutely loved our stay at Motel 6 Palm Springs! The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and both check-in and check-out were super easy and smooth.

Our room was tidy, clean, and cozy, and the pool was an absolute treasure! We especially loved the relaxing poolside area, perfect for chilling and sunbathing. Parking was also easy and very convenient.

The motel has everything you might need, including laundry facilities, vending machines, and an ice machine, which made our stay even more comfortable.

One of the highlights was meeting the motel manager, who was such a friendly, funny, and genuinely lovely person! We had a great conversation with him about the motel and its exciting future plans. It’s wonderful to meet people who truly care about their guests and the place they manage.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Extremely satisfied with our stay, and we will definitely be coming back whenever we’re in Palm Springs again!

Pros:

Man bekommt was man bezahlt, günstige Unterkunft mit Parkplatz ohne Gebühr, große Zimmer, sparsam eingerichtet. Kingbett sehr gut. Aussicht auf das Meer und den Strand direkt gegenüber. Für uns idealer Ausgangsort und nicht mitten drin, für 2-3 Nächte völlig ok.

Pros:

-sehr zentral, freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal

Cons:

Wir mussten 2x das Zimmer wechseln. Das erste Zimmer hat stark nach Nikotin gerochen und beim zweiten Zimmer war die Toilette verstopft. Leider hat das Motel keinen Fön.
