My daughter and her girlfriends stayed 2 nights. Check in was smooth and when she entered her room she saw a big roach on the carpet. Gross! Told her don’t worry I will write a review on this hotel. I’m going to reach out to the hotel and let them know. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel!

The hotel is cute, the neighborhood is so so. There is nothing close by but it was much less expensive than staying in Palm Springs and worked out well for us. We spent 1 day at the Tram and 1 day at the outlet malls. The pool and hot tub were great.
