Everything was great up until the night before we left there was a party next door. Kept me awake all night. Called the front desk and they just of went to shut the party down but 15 minutes later it started back up. Room was decent but the freezer kept defrosting.

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.’
