I chose this hotel after a lengthy online search focusing on small boutique hotels and saline pools. We stayed here midweek for an anniversary and were not disappointed. We were greeted in a lovely "retro" furnished lobby by their friendly staff, handed our complimentary drinks, and shown to our room, where our complimentary bottle of champagne was waiting because I had told Laura, the manager, we were celebrating an anniversary. We stayed in the "Esquivel" room, which is a deluxe with a kitchenette and private patio. The hotel is old but every effort has been made to update and provide amenities while keeping the feel of the slower, relaxed pace of the time the hotel was built. We walked everywhere as the hotel is about a block off the Main Street through town, but you feel as if you have stepped back in time once you return. The pool area is lovely and welcoming, just steps from our poolside room - so lovely and quiet we didn't really even use our patio! It was hard to leave, but I know where I will stay in Palm Springs from now on!

Lovely clean room. Close to main part of town. Walking distance to all restaurants. Great view of mountains. They welcome dogs too, and provide doggie bowls and treats! Always a fresh fruit bowl too!
EVERYTHING is very clean. Also very nice to be given fresh bottles of water in the refrigerator.

Booked this for a long weekend over my birthday after reading about it in Sunset and good reviews on tripadvisor. We were not disappointed. Loved the pool area, so relaxing, loungers are very comfortable. Loved watching the sunsets in the evenings, loved that it was so close to down town so no worries about who had to drive after dinner. The room was very comfortable. The internet didn't quite "stretch" to our room , but in a way that was good, no overindulging in Facebook, time to reconnect :-) Already thinking how to fit in another trip back to Palm Springs and will book early to ensure we get in at the Hotel Del Marcos.

Left the resort experience to try this little historic site and...Loved it. Stayed in the Errol Flynn suite soon to be redone in the theme of one of the local modernist architects.... We were at home, really. Can't beat sitting out on our giant deck under the moonlight and looking at the nearby mountains. Everyone is so chill here. They don't even mind if you go for a moonlight swim. Although not luxury, this property somehow achieves a refined feel. The European air conditioners are super effective, and the breakfast is a nice touch. Loved our small kitchen where we were able to stock our own snacks and bubbly. Great retro music by the pool makes you half expect to see Lana Turner or Frank Sinatra come out of a room and take a dip. One small disappointment was the lack of robes and safe as advertised... but maybe soon to come? (Along with some pool resurfacing?) According to the manager, the Del Marcos is a work in progress, but for us it is already there. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
