The room had bugs in it. The continental breakfast is something I could get at a gas station.

Dear guest, We appreciate you providing the review. We would like to clarify we did come and inspect the room per your comments during your stay however, we did not find any bugs in your presence. This is a desert and you may occasionally find some bugs and we do take precautions in this manner. While vast majority of our guests are quite happy with our breakfast offerings, we do agree that we can't please everyone. But we are glad you don't have to drive to gas station to get the breakfast. Regards, El Morocco Inn & Spa.

I absolutely loved my stay here at the Morocco inn and spa. While we arrived late, the staff was being courteous the entire time. Small, quaint, relaxing I definitely felt taken back to those Humphrey Bogart days the dedication to theme was amazing. The cats, the random camels here and there it was all the nice touches. I was even pleasantly surprised to take away a breakfast bag home I was able to soak in the mineral pool and it was beyond amazing. I had the desert Mirage spa treatment, and it was heavenly and worth every penny, this Hass to be the best staycation ever. I can’t wait to bring my girlfriends Here for our relaxing Mommy getaway thank you so much for your hospitality and can’t wait to see you again. Debbie was beyond amazing. She made me laugh and made me feel welcome.

A small and old inn in a built up housing area. Not what we had hoped for.

Dear Guest, Thank you for providing your input. We would like to clarify that the property was built when there were no houses around. While it may not be to everyone's likings, the real gem is enclosed in the property. Regards, El Morocco Inn & Spa

The ambience of the entire place made the time there perfect. Peace and serenity is the feeling we got upon entry. Casablanca on 24/7 in an exotic open room. Mineral spa refreshing and relaxing. Pool of bliss in center court. The spa garden was welcoming and playful. Most of the time there we felt like the only ones. It was surely a wonderful time.

I absolutely love the unique moroccan vibe this property offers. Add this to the outstanding warm, friendly customer service and the amazing spa treatments and you've got a place I am happy to return to year after year. Love it!!! Note: The Inn is nestled in a safe community 20 minutes SW of Palm Springs, but the blocks just outside of it are a little sketchy, but I always feel safe on property.

Friendly staff - we feel a warm welcome. The water in the pool is better than the water in the jacuzzi. It would be nicer if the hotel showed the water table of the hot spring water.

Love this hotel for a quiet getaway and nice hot spring water . The hotel has lost some of its former charm when the old owner Bruce was at the hotel. The hot tub spa that is beautiful is sadly dirty , the water is murky and has bubbles on top. The rooms are still in good shape and creatively decorated. The pool is clean and the water is clear .

I had the most enjoyable relaxing time at this charming magical inn- Robert was so wonderful and kind! I used the spa services and had an amazing Moroccan clay treatment followed by message that was phenomenal. I used all the amenities and enjoyed every moment. The French press coffee was like the cherry on top. Definitely coming back and can’t wait!

The pool area was very nice and inviting. The staff especially Debbie was extremely nice. The room smelled of humidity, the door and plumbing need fixing. The breakfast was a JOKE. The Expedia photos showed a beautiful Continental breakfast. This is not TRUE. The breakfast choices were substandard. Cheap tasteless coffee, pastries, yogurts. In my book this is called false advertisement.

Lovely, hidden spa that wasn't outrageously expensive. Bear in mind that the area itself does not have much to offer and is definitely not a walkable area if that's what you want.

El Morraco is a perfect place to escape too for a relaxing quiet weekend. You can lounge around the pool reading a book or pop in some ear buds to listen to music. There's a few hammocks and seating areas to relax in as well. The hot spring tub is AMAZING! Spa services are also available. The complimentary mint tea lemonade and ice water are both delicious and refreshing. You can even enjoy watching Casablanca 24/7. Honestly if you are looking to just escape from the hustle and bustle of busy life El Moracco will not disappoint. I look forward to visiting El Morraco again.

The hotel has funky Moroccan décor that made it much more interesting than your typical econo-box hotel in this prices range. The location in Desert Hot Springs is off the beaten path but this means a 15-30 minute drive to a decent restaurant if you're not interested in one of local pizza or Mexican establishments. The grounds are a bit run down and the room had a musty smell but they did offer 3 saunas, a pool, a large hot tub and other amenities including a 24/7 airing of Casa Blanca. Beware of the limited check in window.
