Reviews and Ratings
I was thrilled with the rustic charm of the hotel, though the floors felt a bit worn. The bath products were a nice touch, adding to the overall experience. The service was good, but housekeeping could be more attentive. The location was amazing, especially witnessing the stars in the desert and the clever 'hidden TV' behind art. Dining was a delight with the included homemade yogurt, while the facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel is nestled in an excellent location amidst small shops, perfect for all meals, and conveniently close to Joshua Tree National Park. The rooms provide a luxurious experience with nice bath products and a huge bed, although the floors could use a bit more care in terms of decor. The service, especially from housekeeping, was top-notch. The dining experience, with warm bread included, left a lasting impression. Overall, a great choice for those seeking a cozy retreat with excellent amenities and value for money.
This hotel is nestled in the desert near Joshua Tree, offering a tranquil escape close to many great attractions.

The hotel has a charming rustic decor that gives a cozy feel, but there are some issues with cleanliness and maintenance. The service is friendly and accommodating, contributing to a pleasant experience. However, the dining options are limited, and the value for money could be improved.
The hotel provides rustic charm in decor with a huge and comfy bed, making for a cozy stay. While the unmade beds in the park area can be a downside, the location offers easy access to great attractions. The hidden TV behind art adds a unique touch but may not appeal to all guests.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and had a huge bed that was so comfy. The style of the room was amazing, and the bath products provided added a touch of luxury to the experience. The service, especially the housekeeping, was top-notch. The location down the mountain in Palm Springs was perfect for a relaxing getaway, close to many great attractions in the California desert. The dining options, with included fresh salads, were delightful. The facilities were modern and exceeded my expectations.
