My first sign the property was not managed well was when checking in and the people in line in front of me were demanding a refund because the room they were given had not been room serviced. My own experience was an older room with a stain on the sheets, flys, stains on the tub and shower curtain and a broken faucet on the shower that barley worked. The kicker that really causes the 1 star rating was the fire Alarm, the second night returning to the hotel the alarm was chirping that the battery was dead. Over multiple conversations with the front desk and broken promises the alarm was never repaired. The only savi g grace was the overly load wall mounted AC so what drowned out the chirping fire Alarm with no battery.

Older hotel, but conveniently located

This is definitely an older, motor Lodge style hotel. I’ve heard that it was a motel six many years ago that was converted to this more tiki style hotel. The pictures on the Hotels.com are a bit deceiving. It’s definitely more rundown with older carpet and furniture. It does have the benefit of a restaurant and a tiki bar Next-door. We had appetizers and cocktails at both and the food was good.

Never again!

Horrible. The TV didn’t work. There was no hot water in the shower. There was a sign that said keep food in the refrigerator and the door shut because they have a bug problem. There was a big 1 inch gap if not more underneath the door. The app gave it 8.2 stars and said the room was renovated , not true. Did not eat in their restaurants because of the state of my room, I didn’t want to

It was a cute property for the price. The shower was nice with good pressure and the room clean. It does need a little repair. We noticed the wall paper was peeling and a few other items that looked dated or needing repair, but nothing too bad. Overall I enjoyed my stay and would come back and I really enjoyed the beautiful pool.

I liked the pool area, it was nice and quiet. The rooms are outdated and the carpet is dirty and gross. The shower facet was not working correctly. The mattress is old and not comfortable. The refrigerator was not working at its full capacity. The only thing i liked in the room were the towels.

My husband and I only stay at Caliente Tropics when we come to Palm Springs. The property hotel are unique, lush, kitschy, and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. The Reef tiki bar is the best. The pool is delightful day or night. It's a chill, fun vibe every time.

There was a gap in the hotel door, where light and other things could come thru. My room was not as pictured from when I booked the reservation. The toilet just kept running when I would flush it. there was a big purple stain on the table. I felt very unsafe staying there as a solo travel. Mostly because of the door situation. The staff was friendly though and accommodated my early checkin.

This is an 70's vibes hotel. If you are looking for room service and the Marriott, go there. This is a family type hotel that had everything I needed for two days. There is a restaurant across from the main lobby and shopping of every kind just a few minutes down the street. The music from the pool stopped promptly at 10PM and it was quiet and relaxing. Bed was very comfy and room was clean.
