“It was OK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 23, 2012 via mobile

Based on previous reviews, I reserved two rooms for a one night stay for our family on Thanksgiving. Location was great and the lobby was decent. Wi-fi worked well and the free breakfast was good.

We had double beds in both rooms were clean but seemed a little small. guess they did some updating with furniture a couple years ago but you can tell the rooms weren't completely remodeled. The sink/vanity area was small and the shower area needs more lighting.

The A/C in room 205 had a bad smell and we had to turn it off. I called the front desk and was told nobody was there to take care of it, nor did they offer a new room. The room just had an odor to it.

Overall, it was just ok and did the job for our one night stay.

“Just OK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

Pros: OK location, friendly staff.

Cons: Double beds (not queen), small rooms, tiny sink/vanity area, no movie rental.

The double beds are too tight for a couple to sleep in. My husband is 6'-0" tall and his feet were sticking out. When we pay for a hotel, we hope to at least sleep confortably. Also, our family enjoy to wind down in the hotel room after a long day and watch a movie. Can't do that in this hotel which was surprising to us since most hotels these days have this service. The tiny sink area is outside the washroom. No room for your toiletries.

It did the job but we believe that there are better hotels out there for similar price. Next time we will try the Holiday Inn Express in Rancho Mirage which has queen beds and in-room movie rental.

Dear Frenchladyalberta,

I would like to first thank you for staying with us and sharing your view of our property on Trip Advisor. I understand that everyone travels for different reasons but one thing remains consistent and that's a good nights rest, and I apologize that that didn't happen for you. Unfortunately some things are out of our control; however, we are appreciative when guests voice their concerns about the things we can change as we strive to provide excellent service on a daily basis.

Again I apologize and hope you will stay at other Holiday Inn in the future, just make sure they have queen beds and per-per view movies before you reserve a room.

“Holiday Inn Express Palm Desert is Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

We have stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Palm Desert a couple times a year for the past several years. It is a wonderful hotel and a great value. The staff are all friendly and attentive. Rooms are clean and quiet. Both WiFi and breakfast are free. Lovely pool area in the back. The hotel is conveniently located along Hwy 111 in the heart of the desert cities. We love the hotel and highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed.

“Favorite Holiday Inn Express Anywhere”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

I've been staying at this property for 28 years and I love the location, the terrific beds, roomy accommodations, quiet guests, attentive staff who remember my name, great complimentary breakfasts and nice pool area. It is tucked off of HWY 111, close to major shopping areas and attractions which makes it easy to get around..

“Best hotel bed ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

I was visiting for my fathers birthday. The staff was very helpful, the room clean and the bed just perfect. The room and bathroom are both very large. Also very quiet even though you are near Hwy 111. Very good value for the money.
