Loved our stay Stayed in the 2 bedroom suite Lovely room, well designed and modern, clean and spacious I would give a 5 but there isn't room service read more

I'm not sure if this is a step up from a motel 6 or if it's in the same ballpark, but what they charge is ridiculous. Feels dirty. Granted we had the studio room, but for $400 a night it shouldn't look like a broke college kids dorm room. Our party had upgraded rooms, and it is nice that those had kitchens. Just bring your own cleaning kit and hotel room slippers....or lay towels all over the floor like I did haha I've stayed in worse, but again for the price...not worth it. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. While there is nothing wrong with the hotel itself the billing though is insane. We booked a 2bd 2 bath room directly through their website and was quoted a price for their Black Friday special that was under 400 (30% off supposedly). When I got the confirmation email the price of the room was now $426.30 on one line and then $466 on another line that somehow said that price was still excluding taxes and fees?? (See attached pictures ) Then when we looked at our credit card bill the total was $525 ?? Yes, that is for one night on their Black Friday sale. When I called customer service (which had the line cut off twice until someone was able to call me back) I was told there the $525 total was because of resort fees and taxes on top of those two confusing totals? Yeah buyer beware. If you're booking through their website and get a confirmation amount chances are you're gonna get charged an even higher amount. This is no better than an Airbnb , and with their billing this as bad if not worst. Oh btw, yoga is only Saturday mornings, so you're not gonna get in on a yoga class unless you stayed on Friday and Saturday , but that's not clearly stated on their website either. read more

I stayed here 2 nights with my mother & sister for a short Spring Break girls trip. The hotel and room were very modern, clean and comfortable. All the hotel staff I interacted with were all so kind and welcoming. We enjoyed hanging out at the pool, I was vibing to the music they have playing and I loved that they had bon fire pits to use as well. The location is perfect, right in Downtown. I would definitely recommend this hotel! read more

I had a mini staycation for my birthday, which also happened to be 4th of July weekend! I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Everything from beginning to end was five stars! The four bedroom suite was the perfect accommodation for my party of 8. Valerie checking us in, and Lisa hustling at the cabanas! Thank you so much! read more

Hosted my 40th Birthday at Drift with 30 of my friends from LA and had the absolute best experience. The Drift team was professional and responsive, they worked with me on budget for two catered events and gave me a great room rate for all of my guests. Dinner on the patio and brunch in their event space were both fantastic. The food and cocktails were delicious. I am so happy that I chose Drift and am excited to return to the property again for a relaxing weekend by the pool. read more

I will caveat that I have status with Bonvoy so that could have influenced what I experienced here: The great: - We booked a studio using points and they upgraded us to a 2 bedroom which was a pleasant surprise! - there is no "front desk" per se - they text you the room and the code to get in and you check in online. I was weary about this at first because I do like that personal connection, but it was pretty seamless for us. - the pool area was spotless and the water was really warm and inviting. - the property was clean, inviting and modern - Maleza, the restaurant was great! It deserves its own review, but the food was delicious, flavorful and the service was fantastic and attentive. Love the NA options since my husband and I don't drink. - the rooms were well appointed - the 2 br suite had tons of snacks and drinks. However - you do have to PAY for them. - they have nice activities they hold (tacos on Thursday, yoga on saturdays) which is an added plus. The ok: - They make it so tempting to have the snacks in the fridge and pantry, but they are EXPENSIVE - I honestly refrained because grocery outlet was down the street and there's so much good food just blocks away so I didn't feel the need to go for the snacks. - I know this is expected but the resort fees! Like what are they for?! You get no room service, you text for concierge...it makes no sense to me. I do hope they pass legislation to get rid of those fees because it felt especially unnecessary here - even though the space is beautiful, it is essentially a 3 star hotel - parking can be limited especially if you come during the evenings when the restaurant is full and is annoying when there isn't a prioritization to keep spaces for the people who are staying there - the bed is really soft. Some people may like that though - I prefer a more firm mattress. But overall I would recommend this hotel - it's low key, the rooms were clean and well appointed and it's so close to everything in downtown PS. read more

Done! Adults that wanna get away....Valerie and Ashley thank you for intro me to your virtual hotel.. Space, Pool , Room....boutique and don't recommend kids. Food is off the chart and service beyond over the top. My new love spot for Palm Springs Oh before I forget the pool side service and drinks are amazing. A literal STAYcation. Thank you Viana. read more

Wonderful property! It's new to PS and what a great addition. I booked the 4-bedroom suite for my birthday with some friends and had the most splendid time. It's a little pricey if you're not in a group and everything is done with AI from check-in to check-out. I would absolutely book again and think I might in a few months! P.s. It is NOT a full kitchen like advertised, only a stove, a toaster oven, dishwasher & fridge. read more

I came with my friend after finding it on a Travelzoo deal. We opted to park across the street to skip valet. Very interesting system of checking in and out through an AI. I love the aesthetic of the hotel, very minimalist. We had happy hour at the attached restaurant which was also excellent. The pool was great as well. I loved having my own room and my friend having her own room as well. read more

Drift Palm Springs - One of the rooms in the two room suite - Hotels Near Me - Palm Springs, California

Stayed in the 2 bedroom suite, definitely well worth it. Staff were great, pool/ room was clean, and food at the restaurant was MUST. Despite not have a jacuzzi we made do. Rooms are well stocked with snacks and beverages alcoholic,/non-alcoholic. Even they are costly if the money isn't the problem it is enjoyable due to not have to go to a local store. To each their own. But overall I really enjoyed the drift. read more

Stayed here for my 30th birthday over the weekend. Everything is super clean, well taken care of and so so cute. We usually stay at Arrive, which we love, but wanted to try something different. There were 2 things that were really important to me this weekend and it was a bar and music by the pool. When I called to confirm they had these two amenities, they said they had a DJ on Saturdays. The DJ played nothing but cumbia. For hours. I know the hotel isn't a party hotel and has guests of all ages, but at least play something a little more upbeat. ESPECIALLY when multiple people asked the DJ, the concierge service and waiters by the pool to switch it up. There was literally a dude twerking to try and to get him to change the music. DJ never switched it up. I may come back, may not. I love staying at Arrive because they're super fun but also mellow at times. I think alot of the Palm Springs hotels strive to create a fun upbeat environment when they say they're going to have a DJ. Hopefully this one can do that too in the future! read more

Stayed here on 8/31 for 1 night. The hotel is nice. However they need to put a microwave and a small dining table so you can sit down an eat if this want to cook. The stools are uncomfortable. . Their outdoor furniture can be more updated it's very uncomfortable. Otherwise we enjoyed our time here. They should have an earlier check in and later check out. read more

We need more COOL HOTELS in Palm Springs. This is one of them. Drift Palm Springs just opened their doors a few months ago... like maybe 3 months ago.. its April 15, 2023 today... so lets say the beginning of January... end of December. According to the people I spoke with at the bar, The hotel's owner, a young entrepreneur named Max, had a clear vision for the Drift Hotel. He wanted to create a destination that combined the glamour and sophistication of mid-century modern design with the laid-back, eco-conscious lifestyle that Palm Springs was known for. Each room features a king-sized bed with high-quality linens, a flat-screen TV, a mini-fridge stocked with local snacks and drinks, and an en-suite bathroom with luxurious toiletries. There are a lot of things about this hotel that kind of reminds me of Sonder. When you park your car and walk in... there is a definite casualness to everything inside.. the check-in area is right next to the bar area and if you didn't look carefully you will miss it. There is a indoor/outdoor free flow between the checkin/lobby/bar area and the pool and the rest of the complex. I haven't been inside any of the rooms yet but from what I hear they are pretty minimalist. The food menu is another discussion entirely. A half roasted chicken under "entrees for sharing"... is pretty pricey... pricier than the most expensive restaurants. So... the jury is out.. as far as what I truly think of this hotel. I'm just glad there is another New & Cool place to hang out in Palm Springs! read more

The photos are nicer than the hotel, I found the place on Airbnb but called the hotel directly to book. They offer better rates on Airbnb, substantially lower for the 4 bedroom and if you ask they will match it. We came out for the night from Orange County to enjoy the John Mayer concert and decided to get this 4 bedroom at Drift. The checkin process is easy and all automated, when the rooms ready they text you the room # and door code. There's no front desk or lobby. Once you arrive you get the feel that this was an old apartment conversion and not as nice as the photos. A few things they are missing here especially for the cost of this place: water, there's not even a bottle of water in the room. I asked / texted about a blue tooth speaker and they don't offer them in the room. This is a 4 bedroom suite with no music or water also the showers have no doors so it's cold when you take a shower and messy as water gets all over the bathroom floor. It's hard to get service without a front desk or customer service agent that's onsite. We got in about 4:00 went to dinner and received this text: We have an emergency plumbing issue that we need to resolve tonight in order for all our plumbing in the hotel to function properly. The work will begin at around 9:30PM and last for 30 minutes. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. Needless to say we were up later than expected, then they text for checkout at 8am yes 8am and say if you need a late checkout it may be possible but as soon as you ask they say no. There's just not a lot of accommodating on their part, it's expensive for just a night of sleep and you'll need to bring your own water and speaker lol There's far better options IMO read more

This hotel doesn't know what it is yet. The restaurant and bar are spectacular but the dinner bill was $280....so not cheap. The property itself is OK but the rooms are budget. It's one of those no closets no drawers sleeping rooms. It's eight in the morning and I'm here trying to get into the front desk in the lobby and everything is locked up and no one is here. Which also means no coffee.... The room actually has coffee just no sweetener. Id feel a lot better about this place if I were paying less than 250 a night. We will come back to eat but we won't stay here again. read more

We spent three wonderful days here. Zoom calls for work in the mornings and spent time in the pool in the afternoons. We adored the minimalist decor and comfy space. We also appreciated our four course dinner at Maleza, the hotel's restaurant. However, I have two complaints. First off, the pool. While I understand that August is the off season for Palm Springs, I wish you continued to maintain the cleanliness of the pool. Secondly, we emailed management a couple of times to request a late checkout bc our Zoom ended at noon. Please note: normal checkout time is at 11am. However, they do not have a front desk, so email is your only communication and they did not respond to our email requests for a late checkout. Sadly they charged us $200 for leaving the property around 1:30 pm and did not honor our request to have that fee waived. Granted, the hotel only hand a handful of guests during our stay. What could have been a memorable trip was certainly ruined by the hotel's lack of communication and transparency. Maleza Restaurant review to follow... our dining experience certainly deserves 5+ stars read more

This place might think it's too cool for school and might think it's the shit, and a plethora of similar metaphors, but let me tell you, looks are not everything. And if the service from even one server angers you, you're joint is screwed. All I experience at the bar having a drink was servers, one in particular, that made me feel anger towards him. I'll give you an example, firstly this establishment proudly advertise 'Happy Hour' on a chalkboard in the street. It says clearly, 2pm--6pm. So you go in an sit down at the bar and you ask the barman about happy hour and he says 'Monday to Friday'. WTF. Okay, so what beer do you have on draft...? Calidad he says. Great, I'll have two of those please. He comes back two seconds later, it's out he says. No apology. Just stands there like someone threw his breaker to off. I mean where do they train these guys? So the result, which is actually a reflection of the enter attitude of the hotel is a shitty review. Act shitty, employ shitty, you are shitty. It's not rocket science Dude. I saw a another guy ask him for directions and he just pointed. Halfwit. Nice Santa Barbara Stucco on the walls by the way (you have to be deep into midcentury rebuild architecture to get that one). Maybe I'll come back maybe not. Nothing worse for killing repeat visits than being left with a bad taste in your mouth. read more

DELIGHTFUL!! We booked the 3 bedroom unit for a group trip and it was great. The design is beautiful and the pool area is spectacular. It really feels like an oasis in the middle of the desert. Super classy. We stayed 3 nights and ate in the restaurant for lunch and dinner 2 nights. It was nice to have a kitchen in the suite and we were able to prepare some delicious meals from the items they had available. It took a little getting used to not having a traditional check-in desk but it actually ended up working super well as they had a great concierge text service and when we met the GM (Paul) and his team they were super friendly and approachable. Super willing to help and knowledgable. Super well located to the downtown too. Definitely head into town on the Thursday night, its great fun. We will for sure be coming back. Next time I'll bring the family. Thanks Drift! read more

In many ways, the work of a yelp reviewer is easy. We risk very little and enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves for our judgement. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we Yelp Reviewers face, is that in the grand scheme if things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there is a time when a Yelp Reviewer risks something, and that is the discovery and defense of the new. Tonight, I experienced something new, an extra ordinary meal in front of new friends and in the pool area of Palm Springs newest hotel, Drift. The menu was artfully crafted and inspired like the shrimp and sweet potato and the corn and bone marrow, and a new twist on old staples like the Ribeye, which exemplifies why we go out to eat in the first place. The overall "atmosphere" was sleek and sexy and somehow evolved with the different tones of each course. I'm excited to come back and make new friends and find new experiences waiting for me. read more

I just want to start off by saying thank you to David and the three staff members, I forgot their names so I'm going to just describe them. One female staff has blue hair, another female staff has a lot of tattoos with red hair, and the last male staff member is a new employee. If you want to stay at beautiful and amazing hotel with an incredible staff this is the hotel you should go to. I stayed in the two bedroom suite and it was more than what I imagined. The pool was perfect. The restaurant down stairs had everything you need to eat and drink. This was my first time coming to palm springs and from now on this is the only hotel I'll stay at. Thank you to all the staff that made my vacation great! read more

I really did like this hotel. You may wonder then about the low rating. Here's the deal. I think if you're paying a fairly high nightly rate AND a nightly destination fee, you should get daily housekeeping, and if you're not getting that (which you can get for a fee, see below*) then you should have so much toilet paper in your room, there's no way you could run out. No one wants to have to ask for another roll when you gotta go. I also feel if your paying that destination fee, then the pool area should not have a sign that says "1 Towel per person". I admit, they didn't enforce it, but come on... Also I think the water jugs by the pool should be so loaded with ice and refilled so often that you can drink as much as your body needs. Hot stale water by the pool is no fun for anyone. I also don't really get the $250 charge for the cabanas. They aren't that great! No loungers, so the cabana renters end up using the other chairs by the pool when they wanted sun...and there aren't enough of them in the first place. Food and drink service by the pool was great, but they needed more help. The poor girl did a great job, but it was hot and there was a lot of orders being placed. Tacos & margaritas, chips & guac were delicious. The room itself was great. Minimalist, very clean, bed is comfortable. So odd that there is nowhere to put your clothes or luggage. There's a bench area where we ended up putting our stuff, and a few places where you could hang a couple things. Loved the balcony. I don't know if I'd go back, unless it was an absolutely fantastic deal. (I am appalled that these charges do not include the bathroom) *These charges are per room not for the whole unit and does not include bathroom.

Will definitely be staying here for my next trip to Palm Springs! read more

Booked a day pass to access the pool and loved this. Organised all online, $25 + tax and online fee and this was well worth it. Lowkey music flowing to just get you in a calm mind space.

Would definitely come back. Just a nice clean place to relax and unwind read more

I am a Marriott titanium member, the highest level below ambassador. I booked three nights at three different hotels using the same credit card that I've used for years, and this is the only location that had a problem with my payment. I felt like they were scamming me to get more information. I will never book here again. There is a reason their reviews are low. Book at your own risk read more

Palm Springs is for the GIRLS!!!! The 5 of us had the best weekend stay here. We were in the 4 bedroom suite and having 3 bathrooms for 5 girls is a MUST, plenty of room for all of us to get ready for a night out all at the same time. The kitchen had all the necessary things you will need and our balcony overlooked the pool. Watching the beautiful desert sunrise from the balcony hammock was something I won't forget. We stayed over Presidents Day weekend but the pool area was never too crowded. The drinks from the bar were insanely good and live music at the pool made the whole pool vibe great. Spend the day at the pool and then go out at night! The nightlife was amazing, I definitely recommend Bar Cecil for dinner. It's a celebrity hot spot but the ambience is gorgeous and the food was great. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend. read more

So my husband and I stayed here the second week of April, about a month after they opened. I will start by saying, read the FAQs before booking. Then, the PROS: their pool/bar service was great. Good drinks and food. The pool area is cute, always had fresh towels and clean pool. We liked their desert modern vibe aesthetics. Very close to the main spots of downtown Palm Springs. Spacious rooms (we stayed in studio, smallest room). Comfy beds. Cons: before heading over I called there main call center and asked if they had a mini fridge in our room, they said yes. Well they did not. When we arrived we text their messaging help system and they offered no help or solution besides asking the bar for ice. There are no body length mirrors anywhere in the room. Then, in our room, the bed was off to the left of the TV, so we couldn't properly watch it without having our heads facing the right the entire time. Not sure if this was overlooked or on purpose... The walls are THIN. We could hear our neighbors and anyone walking outside. The AC system has a bright blue light that won't run off! As I said before read the FAQs, they only offer room services like turn down service, at an extra cost. Their text message help system does not reply in a timely manner. On the second day there they text us to ask when we would be around so they can change the batteries in our lock. We replied we were nearby and to let us know when they would like to go. They never replied, so unclear if they ever went or went without our knowledge. Overall it was relaxing, but for the price I wouldn't go again. Also, google gave this to us as an adult only hotel...it is not (not the hotels fault, just be aware). read more
