    Nothing very specific that did not like. I would say overall very good.

    The owner was very nice man and always willing to help. The hotel had a 50s style that I found it very cool, very clean.

    The Desert Riviera Hotel is truly a gem! Its grounds exude an intimate, tranquil, and inviting atmosphere. Steve, our host, goes above and beyond, embodying warmth and helpfulness. The camaraderie among guests adds to the sense of intimacy. The heated pool and jacuzzi are delightful amenities, and the availability of bikes for town exploration is a plus. Its proximity to downtown and the Indian Canyons makes it an ideal location. The property impeccably preserves Palm Springs' iconic mid-century vibe. I eagerly anticipate my next stay at the Desert Riviera Hotel!

    We loved it!

    Our stay was an absolute delight. The relaxed and inviting vibes set the perfect tone for a tranquil getaway. We loved the heated pool and fantastic jacuzzi providing a serene environment. The room boasted completeness and comfort, with a spa-like shower that enhanced the overall experience and a super comfortable bed. The attentive staff, complimentary bikes for exploring, and a lovely breakfast rounded out the exceptional experience. We enjoyed every aspect of our time at the Desert Riviera Hotel.

    Bed faces the door. Not a huge deal, but layout of room could be slightly improved.

    Staff and facilities were excellent. Provided beer upon check-in. Beautiful fire pits, heated pool, and cozy area for jacuzzi area. Breakfast had decent options. We checked in during the winter time - not crowded and quiet. Excellent for a quiet and cozy getaway that we were looking for

    Really only a couple of minor things, the bed wasn’t uncomfortable but it could have been a little softer for my taste and the blanket wasn’t our favourite. (Not cushy) And you could hear some noise from a neighbouring property in the early morning but that’s not the hotel’s fault. It’s an older hotel (with some updates though) and is styled to keep the mid century feel which we loved, but might not be for everyone.

    So many lovely little touches and wonderful service at Desert riviera. It was more like a little community than a hotel. Great location, close to some good restaurants and not a far drive from the main strip. If you’re looking for a bougie 5 star resort, then go elsewhere, but if you want a fun, cute, kitschy, well serviced and SUPER clean place then this is for you. It has everything you could need for a short or long stay including laundry, bbq, and a community kitchen, and a cute box of snacks upon check in. The pool is nice and warm and open 24/7 which is awesome. We’ve stayed in a lot of hotels and this one was probably the cleanest, (cleaner than the super expensive ones) the attention to detail and care taken was very appreciated.

    Everything! We were greeted by Jasmine with an adult beverage and a tour of the facility and amenities. She was amazing; she did everything to make us feel welcomed and right at home. She is an asset to your hotel/business. The pool was great, so was the snack area. The room was super clean and had a pleasant fragrance—stylish too!

    It has been many decades since we have been so warmly greeted and personally taken care of at a hotel or resort. The staff went above and beyond, not just to meet our needs, but also encouraging us to let them know what more they could do. The pool and hot tub area were well supplied, robes were in the rooms, our room had a bedroom, kitchen and bath. There were outdoor tables, barbecues, a pizza oven and a well stocked continental breakfast.

    Staff was super nice and helpful. We were upgraded to a superior room as we had to move the dates which was super appreciated, and it was massive and with any amenities. Pool area with anything you need - towels, sun screen, bug spray, popcorn, water. Free bikes to take. Location is really good and close to restaurants. So happy about our stay.

    There's nothing I can say we didn't like, very satisfied with all the accommodations of the hotel. If there's one thing I would say it would probably be the breakfast could be more options like fruit, egg's, oatmeal or a pancake/waffle maker.

    We didn't like it, we loved it! The atmosphere is very welcoming, quiet and relaxing. Friendly and helpful personal from the beginning of our stay till check out.

    Great big room with comfortable bed and seating area. Separate small kitchenette with fridge, microwave, crockery and cutlery and everything needed. Breakfast was plentiful. Cereal, yogurt, juice, bagels, toast, muffins were all available and delicious. The room had a seating area just outside overlooking the pool. There were plenty of shared facilities - full kitchen with cooker and large fridge/freezer - barbecue area - pizza oven - games and bikes!! Had a great time relaxing around the pool, with great music playing. Wish we could have stayed longer!

    The toilet is incredibly low. And I would have liked more fruit offered for breakfast.

    The breakfast had a lovely variety. The pool was spacious with plenty of shade options. The staff was always very accommodating. The room was comfortable and lovely! It is in a great location near to everything but not in the middle of everything.
