Recently spent three nights at the Desert Hills Hotel and found that its very positive TripAdvisor reviews are accurate. Clean, comfortable and quiet room with immediate access to pool and patio area. Short (3-4 block) walk to the Thursday night Village Fest and the many restaurants in the downtown area. The kitchenette was well equipped with fridge, stove, and microwave. More

Every time we've stayed here it's been so nice. Lot's of lounge chairs by the pool, nice people, calm setting close to town. The rooms have full kitchens and nice bedding, very large. Two small beefs- not really any sort of breakfast, just coffee, juice, Costco yogurts and packaged pastries . Also be forewarned the gardeners arrive at 7 on... More

I've stayed at the Desert Hills many times and I've always been pleased. You should know that it's not really a family hotel - I'm not sure they allow kids - and most of the guests are couples or singles in their 40's through 60's. This is the kind of place people return to year after year - because of... More

This little hotel is just lovely for a restful but fun holiday! Each room faces onto the pool but has a perfect little kitchen at the back of the unit. There is music from the 50s being played during the day, around the pool and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Even though this place is peaceful and set... More

Of the dozens of places you could stay, all with great reviews, we chose Desert Hills. Very pleasant, comfy room, great courtyard and pool. A quiet location near the main downtown area. Our only complaint would be the poor breakfast- little choice and no fresh fruit was put out the 4 days we stayed (packaged danish and one sad, shrivelled... More

This place is delight. We stayed in a king studio suite, which is tastefully decorated and has everything you need. The pool area is lovely and a great hot tub. Walking distance to Palm Canyon and nice restaurants. Will definitely stay here again if we visit Palm Springs again. More

Great central location just a short walk to shops and restaurants in downtown Palm Springs. Spacious suite, stylish and with some great orginal mid-century touches. Great pool and hot tub - wiith amazing views of the mountains. Bikes were offered for use too. We'd go back. More

This is a very clean well kept quiet property. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. The towels are thick and dreamy! The small kitchen had everything we needed to cook a couple of wonderful dinners. (BBQ) We were well taken care of at this property. The pool is sparkley clean. Lots of places to go for dinner within walking... More

Our stay was from Christmas Eve for 3 nights. Palm Springs is bustling at that time of year but this place retained an air of desert calm. From the impeccably kept patios and pool area to the soothing, very spacious interiors, the overall effect was completely relaxing. The managers are so nice and helpful, the rates are very reasonable. I... More
