This mid-century modern hotel is a peaceful escape just about a mile from downtown Palm Springs. With only 9 rooms, all around the pool and all equipped with a kitchen, Avance is the perfect escape for the weekend or longer. The friendly from desk employee was able to give us an early check-in and explained the amenities, which included a BBQ, pool floats, Keurig coffee all day, and a lovely breakfast served in the lobby. The lobby also has a good selection of DVDs and books for the guests to borrow. I will definitely return here on my next trip to the desert.
