Darling Oasis
Onsen was a darling desert oasis in Spa City. From our home base of Onsen, we spent seven days exploring Joshua Tree national park and the state park Indian Canyon. After a long day of hiking, we returned to Onsen to enjoy its large mineral pool and enormous hot tub. (By the way, the mineral water is silky and buoyant. A nice surprise!) We also explored the adjacent neighborhood. Onsen suggested Deliciouso and Taste of India. The recommendations were on spot - both were culinary gems. Not enough could be said about the graciousness of the staff. We would highly recommend Onsen and only wish its location to Chicago!!

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.

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.

“Relaxing Getaway”
We recently enjoyed our second weekend stay in a month at the Onsen Hotel and Spa in Desert Hot Springs, and it was just as delightful as the first. The hotel staff were professional and incredibly friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was clean and well-maintained, with a lovely patio that added a nice touch of relaxation. The mineral hot springs were absolutely wonderful—soothing and rejuvenating. We also appreciated the peaceful, adults-only atmosphere, which made the experience even more serene. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!
