Calls all go to VM and then they text you which is convenient except when your driving or need and answer quickly. There is no registration desk or area or building. So I was lost for 10 min trying to figure out where the poles were from the message in my texts. Final got into my room and it was ok. I had a bed (that had the two concave from all the previous bodies that slept there, the bathroom toilet and shower were old and worn (not renovated), my door was broken and had to figure out how to get the lock from getting stuck in the metal cover. The kitchen has a broken drawer, and the refrigerator was not clean. There is one wall that’s all glass facing the courtyard and the curtain doesn’t cover all of the light coming in so there that all night long.i all these issues and I spent way too much money to stay here - complete price gauge. t was such a disappointing stay. The picture is NOT the too You’ll get so be aware that most rooms seem to be not or partially renovated. Really terrible!!!

Classic design/style ruined by run down property

My stay was for 3 days. I left after 2 because it was not a good situation. The door had been kicked in and the dead bolt was only hanging on by a thread. The sliding door going out to the patio was sealed shut. It also had what looked like a bullet hole in it. There is no office on premises. If you get locked out there is no way to contact someone to get you in. The bed was mushy. There was no cable tv. The neighborhood was dicey. The pool isn't heated. Bad. It is sad because it is a classic 60's Palm Desert design and style. If someone put a few million into it, they could have a nice place. Ownership is not responsible to keep it up.

Fantastic Stay at Palm Desert Suites! We're family of two adults and a kid dog. We had a wonderful stay at Palm Desert Suites! The room was spotless, and the bed was incredibly comfortable—one of the best nights of sleep we've had in a while. The location is also great, with a fantastic coffee shop around the corner and a nice dog park just nearby, making it super convenient. Everything was well-maintained, and the attention to cleanliness was impressive. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making the experience even better. We highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay in the area. Will definitely be returning!

Misleading photos of room

The photos this hotel chose to feature as an example of one of their rooms are very misleading. The room I stayed in had strange mismatching furniture that was probably acquired for free. The shower was old and looked dirty. It was a weird setup in the bathroom. Two sinks that were separated. Not at all as pictured online.

I couldn’t find the office to check in and kept driving around and after traveling all day it was frustrating. The man that helped me was great. The room felt outdated and it was supposedly updated. Doors closed very hard so I heard that at all hours. Bed needs fitted sheets instead of a flat sheet so it moved and the mattress cover didn’t look great. Ice maker didn’t work. If you wanted to watch tv you had to sit in bed or two small kitchen like type chairs.

We had a wonderful stay at this property in two rooms with excellent service from David and Jario. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Parking is right in front of the rooms with plenty of spaces. Check-in was done remotely, and even though I had some concerns, they were unfounded, and there were no issues. I will be staying here again in the future I highly recommend this property.

This property is conveniently located close to Indian Wells Tennis Garden. This was our primary reason for staying here. The manager of the property is very responsive and accommodating. Upon arrival at our room, there was a very pronounced smell of disinfectant. Although the sheets and towels were clean, they were not of high-quality. The room seemed dirty, there were sticky counters, and the floors also needed to be mopped. The furniture is not comfortable. There were no suitcase stands so we had to use the floor. The shower is old and the showerhead leaks. Limited dishes and no dishwasher. Dirty sponge and no dish rack for washing up. There is a sliding glass door to the patio. The door is secured using a broom handle in the track. The lock is broken. The door does not slide easily open. The code we were given for the front door was close to our room number which also did not feel safe. We did not leave our computers or electronic devices in the room during the day and instead kept them in the trunk of our car, which felt safer. I will not stay here again, and I felt that the Expedia rating system and review of this property system overstated the quality of this property. We checked out 1 night early.
