Must book your condo rental through private sites. See VRBO.com or Vacation Spaces, or by using search engines for Ocotillo Lodge Palm Springs. Forget the past complaints about front desk service. The front desk no longer exists. Ocotillo Lodge is great! more

Cosy condos and bungalows, we had a great time there, in a fantastic spot close to everything and not windy at all! We found the place by chance from the ocotillolodgepalmsprings.com website and booked it there. We will go back and reccomend it to all our friends! more

My rating is between terrible and okay. We had stayed at the Ocotillo a few years before 2004. The condo we rented was owned by someone from another country. He had remodeled it and it was very nice. We tried to rent the same condo but found that the person had sold out and gone back to his country. We... more

Please, listen to those that have gone before, this place is not a nice place. The people working there are rude. The rooms are all different, so you never know if you'll be in a dirty room or just in a room that smells dirty. The pool was merky (that was fun), but it is in a good location. Maybe... more

The pool area is quite nice and the lodging comfortable, but the Ocotillo is not much of a happening place anymore. They ran off lots of people with the front desk poor attitude and service, although that seems to have improved somewhat from 2003, when it could not have been any worse. They raised the weekday rate from under $100... more

DONT Stay at the Ocotillo Lodge. It is a old crusty motel style timeshare development on the white trash south part of town. No night services. Lobby closed at 10:30 pm and does not open until 8:00am. No early checkout or late check in. IF you show up late expect to sleep in your car. If you have to play... more

In the 1950s, this place was probably Palm Springs at its best. Unfortunately, little has changed about the place since then; it's badly in need of updates. But, it's also not without it's charms. The good: the pool and spas, just wonderful; the rooms are fairly spacious for the price, all variations on one bedroom, one bathroom suites with little,... more

Wow, I'm really sorry to hear the negative reviews of this place. My husband and I have stayed here a number of times and we really like it. Yes, it is a condo type place, which we knew before we went there, but it's quiet and kind of homey and well cared for. I like the idea of staying in... more
