Wow. What an amazing find! I booked this quaint hotel for two nights in July and I could not be more impressed. This small hotel checked off all my boxes. Clean, comfortable, affordable and in a great, quiet location that’s still close enough to downtown. Judy was such a great hostess! Friendly and welcoming, she can tell you all sorts of history and interesting tidbits about the hotel as well as the general area. She was very accommodating and was a joy to talk to. Judy was able to accommodate my early check in request and the moment I walked through the doors, I knew I had found our new favorite boutique hotel in PS. The pool area is relaxing with lounge chairs for basking, surrounding the pool. There is also a small covered cabana/patio seating area. Each King room has their own seating, right outside the door, with a privacy curtain and small table. There are 9 rooms total, 8 are King beds and one Queen. Please note the Queen room is the only one without a kitchen or private patio, but it’s still a very nice room. We stayed in #5 and I have no complaints. Like literally zero bad things to say about this property. The interior is decorated very modern and the shower is amazing! The kitchen is equipped with all the basics of what you would need to cook a meal. There was a bottle of filtered drinking water in the fridge awaiting us and also a bottle of water on the counter for the coffee machine. The amenities were awesome! Nice toiletries and a close up mirror which I appreciated. There are robes provided which I always love and the bed linens and towels were all plush and felt luxurious. Our bed was very comfortable! I was very impressed with the room decor and again, so happy I found this place. The lobby is open 24 Hours in case you need to help yourself to extra coffee pods, grab some ice or perhaps a banana to snack on. There’s also a little library should you need to borrow some reading material while staying here. Overall, my husband and I enjoyed a very relaxing and romantic stay in Palm Springs and this hotel contributed so much to that. I can’t wait to come back and visit!

Room Tip:Â Bring a citronella candle to avoid bug bites at night! If you need anything, ask the hostess Judy.

Certainly a piece of paradise. Quiet, clean, beds were so comfortable. Lovely facilities. The walk-in shower was amazing. The office was open 24/7 to unlimited access to tea bags, coffee, milk, fresh bananas and bottled water. The pool was heated to 85• f and so inviting. There was keypad entry only after 6pm, so felt very secure. The staff were so lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. Parking was just outside the premises and everything was on ground level. Really didn’t want to leave.

This was our second time at Little Paradise. Judy runs the little paradise with a lot of passion and we felt very comfortable and well looked after from the first minute. Starting with the modern, spacious room with separate kitchen and spacious bathroom, to the pool, which you can use at any time of day or night. Everything is very clean. The fine mist around the pool was also very pleasant. Since there are only a few rooms, our stay was quiet and relaxing. I would book either the "King Mountain View" room or the "King Pool View" room, as these rooms have the most beautiful pool areas and views from the patio. Breakfast is not included. The complex is in a quiet residential area. Downtown Palm Springs is just a few minutes away by car. We really enjoyed our time here and will come back here the next time we are in Palm Springs.

This hotel is a gem. Comfortable beds, clean rooms, extra amenities (robes, pool towels, pool accessories, magnified mirror, excellent lighting) and quiet. But what really sets it apart is the lovely women who makes it all happen. Judy took great care of us, including installing grab bars in our room to make it easier for me to get around. She genuinely wants each guest to feel welcome and to have a great time.

My wife and I stayed on a quick one night trip and the experience was fantastic. Judy (the host) was there for any questions but gave everyone space. Not a party hotel, mostly couples looking to lounge around in peace. The room was clean with modern touches making the stay very pleasant. We liked having a small kitchen to heat food the next morning. Location requires you to uber into downtown but hotel pricing was competitive which made up for it. Walkable to Ace and Tropics if you want to go grab drinks or a meal. Will stay again!

Sweet boutique hotel with a nice layout in the rooms and around the pool. A large bathroom, kitchenette and bedroom are complemented by a shaded front porch with seating. The rooms are partially updated but the kitchens and baths could use some style and modernization (however the shower head and water pressure is out of this world).
Staff is friendly and accommodating; this is a low maintenance model of staffing and services, with someone here just during days and no restaurant or food. There are restaurants all around and walkable though, including Sanchos, Elmers and El Mirasol Cochina.
When we were here, we were part of a very quiet, middle-aged clientele - very much up our alley. Overall, a great place for a peaceful, not too expensive stay, conveniently situated at the end of town, with easy access there and out to the adjacent desert communities.

The room is very nice and modern with a spacious bathroom and kitchenette. The shower feels like a spa with multiple water jets. It would be nice to have some hooks in the room or another small table for clothes, bags or other items. Each room has a small outdoor area with patio furniture which we enjoyed. You can login to your various apps to watch on the TV.Â
The pool area is quiet and relaxing with a great mountain view. Music is played during the day at a reasonable volume (Sade playlist was nice but could do without the country music). If you're looking to party or get drunk by the pool then this is not the place for you. Unfortunately we were unable to enjoy the shared fire pit as the propane tank was empty and the office had already closed.Â
Staff is masked and lounge chairs by the pool are socially distanced. Breakfast and housekeeping are not currently offered due to covid. It would be nice to at least have breakfast bars, bananas, yogurt or other individually wrapped breakfast items offered.Â
Looking forward to staying here again.

The Little Paradise Hotel is a hidden gem. The location is slightly off the main road but still quite central to downtown Palm Springs. The bed was incredibly comfortable and was made up with high quality linens. The room was very clean. The separate kitchenette was generously provisioned included a complimentary bottle of wine and a continental breakfast. The king size room bathrooms are large and feature dual sinks with multi jet showers. The pool is kept at an amazing 87 degrees, which made it perfect for a morning swim.

This is our 5th time relaxing and enjoying Little Paradise Hotel. We love small hotels and the set up here is perfect: 9 rooms, half on one side of the pool and the other half on the other side. Each has a little patio in front with a divider to the next room. We always stay in a King Mountain view room as we sit and have lunch on the patio and can enjoy the beautiful mountain back drop. Our favorite rooms are # 1 and 3. Rooms have small kitchens with everything you need. I bring food to make breakfast and lunches there, especially during COVID - there is also a grocery store close by to pick items up. The pool area is lovely, relaxing and quiet. There are beach cruisers to bike around the cool neighborhood - some great architecture. Victor and Judy are the best - very accommodating.

There are only nine rooms, so if you’re wanting a quiet time lounging around the pool, this is a great place to do it. I had an easy time sleeping. It was quiet. But the walls are thin. We could hear the guy in the next room discussing his bowel movements very clearly.
The bed was comfy. The bathroom was good size with double sinks and a great shower. There’s a full-size kitchen. But there were some issues once you started looking. The shower head was old and needed replacing. One of the faucet handles rotated the wrong way. The furniture outside was dirty.
There was also no daily housekeeping, which has been getting blamed on Covid, but I travel a lot and have stayed in many budget hotels that do daily housekeeping, so it’s seems like an excuse. The same goes for the lack of providing breakfast. There’s always ways to take care of your guests. That’s what great customer service is really about. There was no effort.
While I enjoyed my stay I guess my issue is the presentation of being an upper tier boutique hotel with the accompanying price tag but lacking some of the details and finery that one expects with that.
A few nice things were having cruiser bikes available to take out, being able to park for free just a few feet from the room was awesome and having the pool just a few steps from the front door.
Would I stay here again? Maybe. It would depend on the cost. On this occasion I didn’t feel like it was worth it.

It depends on what you would call walking distance. If you are willing to walk about a mile you have many choices. If you prefer closer, there are a couple to choose from. Most of the action in town is going to be about 1.25-1.5 miles away, but it is a very easy and pleasant walk. They also provide bikes which are an excellent option and faster than uber.
I would call, they keep good tabs on their bookings, and can tell you about staying with a baby based on when you will be there. I don't think it is an adult only hotel. They are very helpful, and honest
There are more places to choose from in the Palm Springs area.
