My wife and I had an amazing time at this hotel! The owners have done a fantastic job creating a retro hotel that isn't kitsch but classic Atomic modern. Your instantly transported to the rat-pack era of Palm Springs with the period correct furniture, courtyard, pool, and boomerang shaped bar. Our room was the Albert Frey room complete with fireplace,... more

Great location close to everything with lots of places to ride your courtesy bike to and driveable to the rest. Everyone was like minded and were staying there for the same reasons. Mature guests and the Orbitini hour was fun and free! Owners were very nice and had perfect recommendations for anything we were interested in. If you want the... more

I took a group of friends to the Orbit In for a 60th birthday party just last week. We took over the entire place -- only 9 rooms -- but what an experience. This is a place that is very much part of the Palm Springs retro movement. A 50's motel that has been meticulously restored to that most amazing... more

My husband and I just spent one week of our two-week honeymoon in California at the Orbit In and loved it ... again. We first stayed at the Orbit In in 2006. We knew then that when we returned to Palm Springs, we wouldn't consider another hotel. We read here that the hotel had changed ownership (in 2007), so we... more

My wife and I were lucky enough to visit the Orbit Inn for 3 nights in September 09. The Inn is a very sociable scenario set around a lovely pool with great rooms evoking the mid century architecture that is the real Palm Springs.We were made so welcome by the owners and staff that it felt like we were at... more

My wife and I were in Southern California for our honeymoon and spent part of it in Palm Springs at the Orbit In. We enjoyed our initial 3 day stay so much that we returned during our three week honeymoon, two more times to stay at the Orbit In. The views from the Albert Frey Lounge are stunning, not to... more

We arrived on a Friday evening and were greeted by the other guests and the host manager of the property for their Orbitini Hour. What a delight! Jade took incredible care of us - first showing us to our room and then offering a chlled beverage. Their Orbitini Hour is a perfect way to socialize if you desire with some... more

Just got home from a 3 night stay at the Orbit In this afternoon...can't recommend this hotel enough. Rooms are funky and full of personality. We stayed in the cha-cha room, which is smaller than some of the other rooms but still adorable and has a private patio, which was very nice. Saw a previous post on here about the... more

We stayed at the Orbit in mid way through our 17 day road trip and we had the most fantastic time. We stayed for two nights - but wished we could have stayed longer. Still thinking about it three weeks after returning to the uk. S Staff are great and the atmosphere is just fantastic. Would recommend anyone visiting Palm... more

The management is caring and helpful, the Pool is clean and cool, the Jacuzzi is clean and Hot! There are only 9 rooms so you need to book and you need... more
