Holiday Inn Express & Suites Palm Desert - Millennium by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"first time was nice"

Best Western Plus Palm Desert Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was excellent. Two eggs cooked to order + thick bacon + hashbrowns along with all the usual hotel breakfast items. They also had a cappichino machine, not just plain coffee. A yogurt dispenser. Really this would have cost me $25 anywhere else in Palm Springs but came free with my stay!"
