The hotel decor is lovely. The personnel are friendly and helpful and the facility felt safe. The lounge is small but pleasant and breakfast is ok. The mineral water swimming pool is soothing and the landscape is well maintained.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Antonino, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was very nice and the staff was as well. The area around the property is not so nice but the reception staff said they have security staff patrol the grounds overnight. The property is clean, the areas around the property have lots of garbage strewn everywhere.

Nice, quiet clean place. Recently renovated, its a nice place and a quiet location.

Nice boutique hotel set up, but plumping and serious staff shortage are problems. I wish the pool and the jacuzzi temperatures were higher. Breakfast is very nice.

10/10 Exceptional

I can't say enough nice things about our two day stay at Onsen. The staff were super nice and helpful. Our room was very well equipped, clean and comfortable. The view from our balcony was great and my wife loved the mineral spring pool. You cannot walk to dinner but that is a small price to pay for such a relaxing experience.

Cute Hotel On the Outskirts of Town

When you arrive, you’ll wonder if you’re in the right place but once inside the premises, it’s a cute hotel. Check-in staff was very kind, even walking us to our room. Couldn’t figure out how the a/c worked, or how to call the front desk from the room phone. Directions would help. The hot tub was refreshing.
