Desert Hot Springs Spa Hotel is: 1. Dirty run down place that is rivaled only by the hourly motel next door. 2. A place where the "healing waters" contain enough chlorine to remove the paint of a freight truck. 3. A sad and desperate place in ultimate disrepair littered and abused to the point of exhaustion. 4. A watering hole... More

The hotel was not very attractive or updated. The hot springs were hot and had a good selection of pools and temperatures. The price was very good. I would definitely recommend for a day trip. Not sure about staying overnight. Had a wonderful massage for a good price. More

Great value for spa visit. Nice they have the option for day visits. Really reasonable pricing. Could us a facelift, but I guess that keeps the prices cheap. Decent food for lunch at the restaurant. Not sure I would stay at the hotel though. More

We've been staying here forever, as we just love Desert Hot Springs. But this past visit had me pensive about a return trip. I've given this place plenty of rave reviews over the years, but this last trip was a letdown. Which is a shame, as I'd hate to have to go find another place to stay in DHS. First... More

I am forwarding your review to all responsible department heads, and we will give it serious discussion at our next company meeting.

We reserved well in advance and asked for quiet rooms. That is impossble in this hotel as the walls, about 50 years old, are paper thin. The pools looked nice but were simply packed, because the public and hotel guests share them. Since this is the case, the security is totally lax. Jenifer, the spa reservation clerk, was in a...

I was a bit taken aback at the rundown look of this place. The locker rooms haven't been updated since about 1982 (they're actually disgusting), and the hotel rooms are in need of new beds and carpets. The front desk is understaffed, and the overall feeling is that there needs to be some customer service training. The bright side: the... More

Daryl at the spa did something no one has ever been able to do! I have a pinched nerve in my right arm (super-scapula nerve entrapment) I have had very limited and VERY painful movement in that arm for 20 years. I have paid therapists, professionals and even friends to massage my arm, thinking it would help. Those helped my... More

Been going to this place since I was a little kid in the 70s. Food is good for the price. The place seems to be being run on a shoestring. Pool & bathroom facilities are not just dirty but filthy!! I waited a hour for food and finally walked out and ended up at mc donnalds instead. Some waitress are... More

This hotel has great pools, but is a bit run down (and certainly overpriced). We got a room, and the two available keys - but none of them worked. We tried a number of times but couldn't get into the room! We had to get help from the reception, and were promised they would do something about the keys. Nothing... More
