My wife and i decided to take a weekend trip away from the kids to celebrate our 10th yr anniversary. We were not looking for this style of hotel but decided to try it... and ohh man... we had an amazing epxerience. The staff was great, they were super helpful and nice. The place is beautiful and so relaxing... the food is superb and the breakfast was so intimate and good... The little details are what counts... Sage burning makes the place smell great, cucumber water avaialble all teh time while you are in the pool, free smores for the evening and no need for cash or credit card, just put it on the room and relax. We are going back for sure as we had an amazing experience.

My car was scratched overnight when I stayed there as a guest. Chris who told me he had footage then pulls a 180 and tells me that the way the camera was facing didn’t cover my car. Ummm. My car was 3rd in front of the hotel. Cameras should cover the parking lot. I now have to pay $500 dollar deductible and extra car rental fees because they refused to turn over footage to the police. That’s if they even had any footage. Will not be going back there stay at your own risk . Sketchy.

Actually reviewing The Barn Kitchen, and what a fantastic gem hidden as part of the executive hotel. Last minute booking and was accommodated with fantastic service. Emailed to check dress code and Chris quickly replied. Having travelled from the uk and then down from Seattle, this has topped my experience in the US. Credit to all staff and especially the chef, you can’t make pork taste that good. Phenomenal place, check it out but book in advance!!

Rooms are STUNNING and so spacious. Sparrows is truly a different vibe from anything else in Palm Springs. Feels like a luxury nature mountain retreat. So chic, so low key. The staff is clearly passionate about what they do and really understand luxury. Pool scene was sexy and low key and drinks were top notch. Free breakfast was delicious and all you need. I didn’t have a chance to formally enjoy a meal at the restaurant but menu and food all looked great. Highly recommend and will most definitely be back.

Sparrow is a gem of a property. The historical elements of this gently preserved vintage guest resort...are subtly transformed into a palm springs mid town oasis. After a long flight we were welcomed( at 9pm) by the outstanding staff, who brought us food and beverage with a game smile over soft lighting in the back terrace. Simple but amazing and super fresh. We had heard about the fireside simores (a deft touch) and the beautiful breakfast each morning..all laid out with focus and care. YUM. Nothing prepared us for the ADA room (13) with it's high beam ceiling and huge bath/shower area. Cooled by AC we had a private patio flanking the room. A special note of appreciation for the landscaping staff; who arrive early and tend to the outdoor spaces (not as simple as it looks) quietly and efficiently. A last minute request for a massage was accepted in the aft terraced area and another wonderful experience. Can not say enough about this jewel...except to say we would definitely return. Thank you Sparrows Lodge! …

From the moment you through the door, there is a special glow and personal attention to detail. The staff knew our names and our room number on the first day. It's quiet and serene and the soft sound of the birds and the scent of orange blossoms in the air made for dreamlike surroundings. I only left once to take a walk in the neighborhood, and was happy to come back to the cozy little resort. The manager and staff were exceptional to accommodate any request. Drinks and food were top level. I can't say enough good things.

Our second stay at Sparrows, and it won't be our last. The property is excellent - small and boutique, but with all the comforts. Chris, who runs it, is AMAZING. He looks after every guest and you know you're in v safe hands. The beds are super comfy, the shower and bathroom products great. The swimming pool is perfect. And the hummus is just delicious. We had an excellent time, and have sent many a friend there over the years who also have.

This is an incredible resort - a small oasis in Palm Springs. It is incredibly lovely, the service and food is top notch, and it's a great place to relax and unwind! Would probably recommend needing access to a car or uber as some restaurants are a bit further away, but otherwise an incredible stay, and I cannot wait to be back!
