Teresa, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

No sure I’d return

The room was well kept and had beautiful upgrades however the bed was like sleeping on a hardwood floor it was very uncomfortable also I called for towels and they made me go get them myself there was never any maid service at all. Staff was friendly especially the security guards. But not sure I’d stay there again considering the price for what we got.
Nichole, 4-night trip

shannon, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Good location in Palm Desert.

A great place to stay in the area especially if you take advantage of the tennis programs. Nice Restaraunt’s nearby. Not a fancy place. Used to have a strong pickleball program but they got rid of that. Reasonably priced stay. Adequate golf course.

8/10 Good

They didn’t have body soap or shampoo. This is something that you would have to bring yourself.
Ellie, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

We were not given the room set up that we had booked. After being told by the front desk they were sold out and this was all they had, we made due. Hotels.com did come through and get us a portion refunded and a credit for the app. The resturant food was good, we got take out one night. Checked in very late and it was process as the report is gated and no one is at the desk after 8pm.
