We absolutely loved everything about the Orbit In. We stayed in the Albert Frey room with its outdoor shower and beautifully restored retro furnishings. We listened to music on a record player, borrowing records from the office. Bill and Elaine so very friendly, nice and helpful. The owners, Kevin & Jinny were also very nice and helpful. All the staff... More

My wife and I just returned from a weekend at the Orbit In. We are big fans of the "Tennis Club" area because of the easy walk to everything on Palm Canyon. We had toured the property a couple years back and finally got the chance to stay. It was great! Bill and Elaine are super gracious hosts and all... More

My wife and I enjoyed the atmosphere and decor of this place. It allows you to relive the 50s and 60s again. The owners are wonderful. They go out of their way to make your stay very pleasant and comfortable. The service and cleanliness are great. We will definitely come back again.

We stayed 1 full week in the Eames room. My husband chose Palm Springs for the design and architecture. This was our first stay at a small boutique type place and I was worried that I'd be bored. Far from it. The hospitality, quality of service, room space/views and location are truly excellent. The unique complimentary touches were a hit... More

We stayed here as part of our honey moon trip and it was our favourite of all the places we stayed at. Elaine spent the time to really welcome us and gave us great food recommendations. We had the leopard lounge - which has the most amazing little kitchenette and fabulous pink tiled bathroom! The social hour that evening around... More

We absolutely loved our stay at the Orbit In. We stayed in the Frey Lounge, an amazing room - the outdoor shower and fireplace were incredible. Every amenity is included in your stay at the Orbit, which is a refreshing touch (breakfast, cocktails, pop/water). Although the Orbit was full during our stay, it was so quiet and peaceful at night,... More

To any fellow travelers who want to enjoy the best surroundings with a 50's vibe, this is the place! This is my third time to stay at the Orbit Inn; actually, this time I stayed at their sister inn (five addresses away), the Hideaway, and it was perfect, as well. The rooms, the staff (thanks, Jade), and fellow guests (gay... More

We spent a week at the Orbit In and loved everything about it... The staff and owners, the location, the decor, the pool, and the vibe. Everyone was very helpful and friendly, from housekeepers to managers to owners. The Orbitinis were tasty, and it was fun meeting other guests and comparing notes. The In's list of recommended dining is totally... More
