This small hotel is charming. The staff is extremely accommodating and will do anything to make your stay wonderful. With only 13 rooms, a very private pool, spa and patio area it's a great place to relax or meet new friends. We recommended the hotel to some friends attending the same event and they loved it! They couldn't get over... More

This small and cozy hotel was just fantastic! I have never stayed at a place that captured my imagination in such a way before. Wonderful garden and pool area, with hummingbirds and a jacuzzi ever so sweet. Had the pleasure of meeting the owner Larry and his lovely daughter Lucy - great people and a great place! Thanks.. :) More

The Hotel California was all it was hyped up to be. Very friendly staff (Lucy and Larry). We were greeted very cordially with an offer of something to drink, nice touch. The grounds were immaculate from the landscaping to the pool and jacuzzi areas. Very peaceful and quiet, which is a big change from larger hotels.The rooms were very clean... More

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel California for two days just after Thanksgiving weekend. We were extremely pleased. The hotel is small, which is great when you want to get away from the crowds, and the owners were so nice. The pool is heated and you can use it late at night. They just ask you to keep... More

What more can I say that every review you read has said. We booked this hotel based on it's rating and the reviews. Let's say what it's not. It's not located in downtown Palm Springs- Good for us, hardly any traffic and quiet at night. It only takes about 5 minutes to get downtown. It is not a party hotel-... More

Lucy, Larry, Patty and Jay make Hotel California a great place to stay. We were there for 5 nights and we loved every minute. The rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. The pool was warm and the hot tub was "HOT". Thank you to everyone for a wonderful vacation. More

We new it would be a great experience because the owners... More
