"The host is very cordial and was on top of making sure our stay was comfortable and we enjoyed it. The home has everything you need during your stay. The kitchen is well equipped with dishes, seasonings, oils, and cookware. If you need sugar or flour put it on your grocery list. The living area is very comfortable with plenty of room. The two bedrooms and bathrooms are both big and comfortable. We loved sitting on the patio enjoying coffee/cocktails and watching the golfers. The pool/hot tub are...

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Palm Desert - Millennium by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Love the location and the staff!!"

Holiday Inn Express Palm-Desert by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Yeah, the moment we walked in to our reservation my family felt that we made the right choice to book our night at this property. The Front Desk Agent right away knew why we had traveled to Palm Desert for leisure. We drove into town from San Diego for a concert so the amenities on site were perfect for this short stay; the fitness center is functional, the pool is big, and the breakfast lady deserves all the gratuity we can give her! When we got back to the hotel after the concert, the Night Auditor shared that his mother and grandmother were at the same concert and told us a funny anectdote about his family which made us laugh. We did not have much interaction from housekeeping other than asking for a couple of towels which they promptly provided. The only part that was off putting, but not serious enough to like complain about, was a young woman at the front desk would not let me finish explaining before she interjected with questions but she just tryin' to be 'fecient."

Marriott's Desert Springs Villas I

10/10 Excellent

"This facility is absolutely breathtaking. The staff is very helpful in assisting you in finding your room, as the grounds have many buildings. We came from LA, and as soon as we got our room, we got a burger from the main pool area. That burger was well-cooked and nicely presented. We had a 1-bedroom villa with a golf course/lake view. Magnificent! We will definitely keep coming back."
