10/10 Excellent
"Was in Palm Desert for a friend's birthday celebration and stayed at Comfort Suites. Had a very nice, comfortable room with a king bed. Both the room and the hotel itself were clean and well-appointed with plenty of parking. The bed was comfortable with nice linen. The room also had a sofa which I think had a pull-out bed but was still a nice touch. Nice sized bathroom with plenty of towels. Staff were all friendly and efficient. Although the hotel is right alongside the freeway, I didn't hear much highway noise, however I think the AC unit was a little loud. Didn't interfere with my sleep but might have to ask for a quieter room if you are a light sleeper. Sadly, I am not a breakfast person so can offer no comments on their breakfast. The pool area was very nice and inviting. I was very pleased with this hotel and will definitely stay again when I am in the area. Highly recommend! Thanks Comfort Suites!"
