A lovely relaxing stay
Hotel California is a very special place. The courtyard is beautiful and relaxing, my favorite part. The service team went above and beyond. Offered a glass of wine on arrival, had snacks and soft drinks in our room for us. Also very helpful in suggesting things to do and places to eat. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back again!

Wonderful staff! Very cute boutique hotel and they offer lots of amenities. Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating. Pool and hot tub were great. Location is close to downtown and some beautiful hiking spots. Just wish the room had a full length mirror, that’s nice to have when traveling. Definitely would come back. Thank you to Tracy & Maria.

Magical
We absolutely loved our stay at the Hotel California. It was relaxing and magical; the first things we noticed when we walked through the gate were all the hummingbirds floating around. The staff was so friendly and helpful. At night, they light a bunch of candles all around the courtyard. The hotel is small, so we had the hot tub and pool all to ourselves a few times. And the location was convenient to the airport, hikes, and downtown. There was a complimentary bottle of wine waiting for us at check-in, and they have a happy hour every afternoon. If we ever visit Palm Springs again, we will definitely stay here again. Our friends staying at nearby hotels were jealous of ours!

Here’s a review emphasizing the accommodating nature of the staff:
“I had an amazing experience here! The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and truly made me feel at home. their level of hospitality was outstanding. It’s rare to find a team that genuinely cares about creating a positive experience for their guests, but this place has it down. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a welcoming and friendly atmosphere!”

Hotel California is a great, adults-only place to stay and relax in Palm Springs. Walking distance to Koffi and nearby restaurants but still quiet and not crowded. Easy parking, lovely kitchen / breakfast / snack area, beautiful pool and jacuzzi. Will definitely be back!
