This is the place to stay if you don't want to feel like a "number" in some big corporate hotel. The owners actually work on-site at times. The staff (& owners) is extremely nice, helpful, knowledgeable and accommadating. Clean, comfortable room. Good bed. Free movie dvd's. Book exchange. Really nice, heated pool with good chairs & lounges. Nice whirlpool hot... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay at the Desert Riviera Hotel. The four of us booked our two rooms after reading the rave reviews on Trip Advisor and we were not disappointed. The hotel staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful in suggesting activities and restaurants. The rooms and grounds were immaculate and the beds were quite comfortable. The pool and... More

From the friendly greeting by the Limo driver at the PSP airport-it was Larry the owner-to the welcome drinks, 92 degree pool, fire pit chats with folks from around the world and the home grown grapfruit we had a great time during our 4 night stay. In fact we changed our return plans so we could come back the following... More

I selected the Desert Riviera based upon the wonderful reviews listed on TripAdvisor. All the great compliments about the staff at Desert Riviera are completely correct. They treated my wife and I like we were close personal friends, even though we had never stayed there. The room was clean, the bed very comfortable. The pool area is fantastic, very relaxing... More

Third visit to this gem of a hotel. The only place that we will stay on future visits to Palm Springs. The hospitality, warmth, and genuine welcome continues to astound and enchant. No detail is too small for for Larry, Patty, or Judy to deal with...service beyond what we have encountered at some of the finest hotels in the world. More

I've stayed at this hotel with my wife for four days in December, and thanks to the relatively warm climate even in winter we loved its pool. All rooms, except for a few corner ones, are right by the pool and there's plenty of sun lounges to relax after a good swim. The manager, Judy, is very professional and polite.... More

My brother and I took a much needed mid winter break to Palm Springs this week and stayed here under recommendation from mutual friends. It couldn't have been a more fabulous time! Our first day it rained a bit but we took the tandem bike for a quick spin and swam in the lovely heated pool anyway. Hey we are... More

This is one of the very best vacation hotels that we have stayed in. Most importantly, our hosts Larry and Patty are genuine and caring. From the time you arrive and until you depart, they extend themselves to make your stay a delightful experience. Their free limosine pick-up and the rides to various Palm Springs locations are great. Expert directions... More

Wow! What a wonderful place. Peaceful (thanks to no small children allowed), relaxing, very nice rooms, a great dvd library and beautiful gardens, are just a few ways to describe this hotel. Larry and Patty are exceptional hosts, giving me a tour of their recently opened sister property, The Hotel California, just down the street. It's a 180 degree difference... More
