The room was atrocious. Two lightbulbs were burnt out; toilet barely flushed; all of the plastic mini blinds were broken off leaving holes for people to look in; the closet had broken jagged tiles; there was only one useable glass to drink from; no Kleenex; no shower mat; no hand soap; no sink stopper and the TV didn’t work.
I am requesting a total refund as we left early and didn’t stay the second night.

It's sad. This is someone's business and I'm sure their livelihood, but unfortunately it is unacceptable. On the plus the pool and hot tub were nice (not resort quality) The beds and linens were very nice. Our two bedroom suite was spacious. There are layers. The first layer is how nice the place is. It is NOT a remodeled 50s boutique hotel. It is old and run down. There are wires stapled to the ceiling and walls. Big gaps around the heater. Handles missing on the closet door. and on and on and on. OK, I can live with that if the price is right. And in all fairness the price wasn't too bad. The pool and hot tub were nice. However there are things that are unacceptable. They were short on towels when we got there. Someone claimed the dryer was broken. We were charged a resort fee, which isn't appropriate when it's just a standard 50s hotel like every other one in Palm Springs. But to be charged a resort fee and not be given pool towels?!! then the bad stuff. The toilet wasn't secure. It felt like it was going to tip over when I sat on it. It actually felt dangerous. The bath tub did not drain. Blind in bedroom didn't work. Kitchen cabinet doors falling off. There was no soap or wash cloths. I'm sorry, but this is like the straw that broke the camel's back. There were just too many negatives and some that were not just cosmetic. Then on top of all this they wanted a photo of my credit card. I was supposed to pay $50 at the resort for a resort fee (which wasn't wor

Room was really run diwn as was the facility. And the hot tub was luke warm
I do not recommend this place. Accommodations are well below average and not what was in the description on the booking site.
We left soon after our arrival. The room smelled like smoke although they have a no smoking policy. A few things were broken such as the TV, the ceiling fan(lights), blinds(no privacy) and pool table was not useable.
I booked three nights thru Expedia who dealt with The Float on the refund process since I used a third party booking service. I was initially informed I would be charged for one night which is understandable, but then received a follow up email stating I would not receive a partial refund at all. I don't know what changed, but very disappointing.
Terrible no service or person available to assist room doors don’t lock and front door was stuck and does not open easily .had to stand on a hole full of rain water in the cold night .kept calling the number they had to call in case of emergency 7 plus calls no one answers
Float is one of my favorite places to stay in Palm Springs. they recently did a lot of work on their pool and hot tub and I am very happy with my experience.

Modernism week
The area of Palm Springs was nice. It just seemed to have a lot of displaced people around constantly the front gate, which was supposed to have a code was never really closed. People would come and go pretty freely sketchy people.
