When I first enter a room, I make sure to check the locks. Of course, the very first thing I noticed was the strike plate on the door frame. It was completely unsecured, hanging on hollow screws, and the wood behind it was damaged. This was a major safety issue. The lock was essentially useless because if you pulled on the door with force while locked, it would break off. I took photos immediately and went straight to the front desk to report it. To their credit, the staff responded right away and offered me another room on the spot. It was technically an upgrade from a king to a two-queen room. However, the new room was absolutely filthy. There was leftover food/snack behind the lamp, excessive hair and dust built up on the bed frame, an old acrylic nail left on the furniture, and the toilet was leaking. It was clear this room had not been cleaned properly. I should have looked at reviews on Yelp first before booking. But again, those Expedia photos wowed me. They made the place look modern and clean. That was not the case at all. I had originally planned to check out on Sunday, June 29. Instead, I left early around 10:00 p.m. on Saturday night. I felt so uncomfortable and disgusted that I could not stay another night. I believe the man at the front even asked me if everything was okay. I told him, "I just cannot be in that room. It is just gross." I would have expected follow up questions to see what could have been done, but, no. What I experienced was neglect, both

I have stayed here many times, this time it was for a friend's birthday. It was her first time in Palm Springs and she loved this hotel. This place can get really busy and there are only a few employees (The Reef), so if you are impatient, I would advise you not to go here. The employees are friendly and great, just have a lot to do and tiki drinks take time. Love it here!

Great hotel for the price! The pool area is so nice and welcoming, love the hotel tiki bar, easy parking and the room was comfortable and clean. Just wish they had better filtered water dispensers with the heat! Otherwise was perfect.

Not great

Hotel staff handed out a piece of paper upon check in that stated no speakers by the pool and that the pool closes at midnight. Both nights I was there people were partying in the pool until well past midnight with no one enforcing these rules. Every time I tried to call the front desk no one answered. No towels for the pool either. Upon getting into my room there was a sign saying how they had an insect problem, so I was immediately unsettled and freaked out that I was gonna see some bugs. The AC was so old and had to stay on blast the whole time. Not great.

I booked two rooms that said they sleep three each. When we arrived each room had one king bed and they had no third sleeping space and no rollaway beds. Three people who are over six foot two had to sleep sideways on a bed it was ridiculous
