6/10 found this review helpful

Quant hotel, great name, fantastic layout. Mini apartment style setting with nicely kept grounds, very secure. Gave me the feeling of the old Aaron Spelling T.V. show "Melrose Place". I really appreciated having more amenities than the much larger hotel across the street and the one that we were scheduled to stay in, they botched my reservations {luckily} & I was able to stroll right over to....... Hotel California.

Would definitely stay there again !!!

As we were searching the web on our new computer, we happened to
see a site for hotels. This gives us an opportunity to share our experience
at Hotel California, Palm Springs.

Hotel California is the greatest home away from home. The rooms are
exceptionally clean and comfortable. The rooms are large and well
organized with nice decor and very comfortable beds.

Weldon and Sherry Thompson, the owners, are awesome and made
sure our stay was a pleasant experience. They also served an excellent
waffle breakfast. We particularly liked the quiet, cozy, and private feeling
of the court yard with its pool and hot tub.

My husband and I have traveled extensively and found the Hotel California in Palm Springs one of the most comfortable, relaxing places we have visited. All the rooms are spacious and very well decorated and all face a beautiful courtyard complete with pool, spa and great landscaping. The owners are extremely accommodating and attentive to their guests needs. We met people who were on their 4th, 5th, or more visit and some guests from Canada that came twice a year at least. It is centrally located to downtown Palm Springs and all other attractions in the area. I would highly recommend a stay at the Hotel California and you truly will not want to leave.

My husband and I stayed with Sherry and Weldon for the first week of our marriage. We were looking for peace and quiet with a relaxing atmosphere. We got that and more. We were welcomed with a helium balloon, flowers, champagne on ice and a card of congratulations. What can be more personable than that?
The room was very clean and tastefully decorated. The courtyard was a sunworshippers dream and with ambience plus.
The breakfasts were a hit with us with the fresh fruit, cereals and great waffles.
It's definately the place we'll be staying on our next visit and we recommend it to anyone wanting to break away from the norm.
