Spent a weekend at this hotel as part of a "get out of town" from another trip in the Orange County area. This hotel was a great location to stay with good access to nearby restaurants and entertainment including casino's and Joshua Tree National Park. This review was completed during the Covid pandemic so many aspects of this hotel could change after the pandemic is over. Pros: a) Good Location b) Awesome staff c) Nice ambiance d) Close to (up-scale) shopping and restaurants e) Good jumping off spot to Joshua Tree Cons: a) Valet parking only, but plenty of free street parking out front b) Pool a bit small and crowded but at least was there to cool off in! c) Why do people think they can reserve chairs by the pool and then leave for the day? Overall was a great stay for the weekend, the only amenities that were not open due to Covid was the main restaurant and of course housekeeping is by reservation only as it is with most Marriott branded hotels in California. If you need extra bottles of water just hit up the housekeepers in the hall, they are more than happy to get you anything you need!

Hubby and I celebrated our anniversary by getting out of town (for the first time since March) and spending the weekend at Hotel Paseo. I was a little nervous about staying at a hotel and being out at restaurants during Covid. My nervousness was unfounded, and we had a wonderful weekend away. The hotel was super clean, ALL the staff wore masks, there was no daily maid service; so no one coming in or out of the room except us. They took lots of precautions including clean, sealed TV remotes, asking guests to not share elevator rides, and even cleaning things like the ping-pong paddles and putters between guests. There was plenty of room between lounges at the pool and the lobby's furniture was appropriately spaced. All of that made me feel safe. The hotel is a favorite of ours, and I'd missed it. The cool red Cadillac and beautiful Airstream set the vibe for a fun stay. Shout out to Neil for keeping my drinks by the pool coming. Love the hotel bikes too, we had fun cruising the area! The hotel is also right next to El Paseo shopping and I spent a day just enjoying wandering the stores, something I had not done in a long time. I also appreciated that the stores limited number of shoppers, and requested masks when in the store. I had so much fun that I am thinking this might be a great place to come mid-week with the kids, as distance learning can be done from any location, haha!

We had a top floor room with a view of the mountains, although if you looked down, you saw the second-story parking lot of a shopping area. The room was very quiet with a comfortable bed, enjoyable bathroom, coffee maker, and small refrigerator to store your own food. The front desk staff were always personable. The maid service, although good, was not perfect and needed some supervision. During the first morning I asked for help in using the coffee maker. Gary arrived right away and not only fixed the coffee maker, but went downstairs to get me a printed map. He was extremely helpful. There is a restaurant connected to the hotel that provided good food and a happy hour. The hotel is located next to Paseo Drive, a street filled with restaurants and stores; everything is in walking distance of the hotel.
