Rooms are quiet dark with really comfortable beds! Head turning uninterrupted views of the west hills framed by a few palms. Relaxed helpful staff reinforce the ultra cool vibe. The restaurant is a mid century jewel with very solid food. All age groups with love it.

I drove 8 hours to see Alia play the Theremin for the horizon Jazz event on 03-29-23 and the heater we sat by wasn't functioning properly so I asked Franchesco if he could provide us a blanket and he simply refused and said he was out of blankets while on the phone . I explained I had driven 8 hours just for this event and I insisted if he could please try to locate one blanket he simply didn't even try. He treated me with INDIFFERENCE , DISREGARD and didn't even try to locate a blanket before saying he didn't have one. How isn't that a 5 start Hotel doesn't have ONE extra blanket? Bc it was extremely cold outside I could not watch Her play my whole body was shivering and the night was simply ruined. I will never come back to Ace hotel again and I suggest someone provide franchesco I think that was his name with more hospitality training. He was simply awful and disrespectful.…

The room was comfortable, great bed, but overall looking a bit worn and our plumbing made a hideous noise randomly throughout the day and night. The pool area was nice, the gym is tiny. My biggest complaint is the hotel is noisy-they obviously are popular for functions (big function room on site) and we heard loud music and chatter into the early hours as if it was in our room! Too much of a party hotel for my tastes. Others will probably love that aspect.

I am taking the time to write this review because we were hesitant about our stay given the negative ones below. We had THE BEST time at the Ace. The mid-week vibes were great, super low key guests. Great pool time. What stood out was the food. We ate breakfast and lunch every day and loved everything we had. I can't recommend the Ace enough and I can't wait to come back next winter.

Wedding excellence. Came for my friends wedding and had an absolute blast. Pool, food, and drink were great. We’ll be back in the summer when the weather warms up. The restaurant menu was fantastic And the bar off the lobby was something out of the new you’re underground. Loved it.

Room 111 is a room under a staircase next door the housekeeping and maintenance. From the bed, one can see into the pool and hot tub. The “blinds” are two pieces of black out canvas. The window, which you could use to enter the room, had a dinky little lock and no screen. This was one of the worst motel experiences I’ve had. And this is a “hotel and swim club.” Don’t stay here — PS the staff are morons, can’t understand (as said in other comments) and started arguing with me about how to close blinds and how they need to do maintenance. Someone is going to get attacked in that room and I hope Ace pays the price for their indifference.

Hi 257rayl, I'm sorry to hear that your stay was not what you expected and that you did not have a good experience with the staff either. We get some of the highest compliments about them, so that is surprising. We hope your next stay in Palm Springs is somewhere you feel really comfortable. Celeste

Wow, this place has gone way down hill. Rooms are shabby and haven’t been maintained well. TVs didn’t work and we had to ask multiple times to have it fixed. They only fixed one and didn’t bother with the other. The pool area isn’t well maintained , restaurant is still fine but seems chronically understaffed and they don’t give preference to hotel guest so on a busy day we had to wait in line for way longer than we should have for a place charging $500 bucks a night. Basically this is a dated hipster place that seems like it’s trying to hang on to some kind of relevance before they have to renovate . They’ve taken serve yourself to a new clumsy level. Hard to believe a company like Ace can’t do better in such a great location.

I will try to keep this brief but basically I live in LA and always make a stop at the ACE whenever I am in Palm Springs. Its always been great energy and good vibe. However this last time we stayed - the facility was in very poor condition. Specifically the pool and common areas. The seat cushions were covered in mold, the lounge chairs were breaking and tables rusted. It was not only unappealing but unsanitary. I wrote a letter to management because I really thought they should know that the guests are noticing the condition of the place considering the price they are paying. CELESTE BRACKLEY was my point of contact and was so generous with amazing responses, resolution and customer service. She is the main reason I would go back and give the Ace Palm Springs another try! I hope they clean the place up to match other Ace Hotel standards. I also want to note - the staff and service was amazing - this review is geared towards corporate to get the place together and invest some money. …

This is my third time here and I am quite disappointed at how unkept this place is. Where is management? To start I love playing the records in my room and the player needle is broken. The gate to my patio doesn't close easily as it needs to be adjusted. My toilet is loose in the bathroom. Can you give a full size ironing board? A wedding party is here. Can you imagine them ironing their suits on the tabletop version? Why are the pillows so flat? I haven't slept in days. The pool heater is off and the water is freezing! Everyone is in the hot tub as a result so I can't go in that at all. The beds by the pool are a nightmare. See the pics. The covers don't close properly and the inserts are hanging out wet and moldy. The upholstery everywhere is stained, even on my patio couch. The fireplaces are not on throughout the grounds at night. The music at the pool is too low. The Alamo the other night had no music on and the lights were super bright. There was zero vibe. None of the cute light up signs are on throughout the grounds. Where's the Ace vibe we know and love? For the price I expected to get what we always got...that good Ace feeling. My husband travels and always stays at the Ace. He said the Seattle one has also not been well cared for. What's going on? …

This 5 Star rating goes toward the staff working at this hotel. Ace Hotel & Swim Club is in need of renovation. The rooms and furnitures were a bit outdated. The hotel grounds need some facelift and some areas were closed. The stargazing deck didn't have any chairs to sit to enjoy the view. The pool was a bit cloudy. Overall, my stay was ok. The restaurant had great food and staff were very helpful. Management need to step up and work on renovations.
