The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa
Place was very nice, I loved it. But there were a lot of confusion with their services. I asked some things to be brought up to the room, unfortunately they never got it right. A/C and internet wasn’t working. The best part of the stay was the tour.

I enjoyed our stay, Harry was very welcoming and was very attentive to our needs. The rooms were clean and humble. Loved the decorations of the 1950 and the amenities. He even had a Atari game in the room! Come here and rest your head highly recommend.

Lagonita Lodge
The heater was broken. Despite the maintenance guy trying several times, heater didn’t work. Ir was really cold in the night. The room was poorly maintained. I asked for a room change but they said it’s not possible. Front desk said I will get a discount but contact Expedia to get it.

7 Springs Inn & Suites
Great property, love the views, the pool, easy parking. So convenient to downtown Palm Springs with all the dining and shops. Can stroll down quiet streets of the movie colony checking out homes of movie stars of the past. Really feel part of the ‘old Palm Springs vibe.’
