    Stayed here for the first time as I had a few free nights that were expiring and it was the cheapest option without having to burn more points. Although I definitely remember stopping in 2018 when my friends were staying here for Coachella! Had a standard two queen room as I was actually not able to be upgraded through my status. I guess it's harder for two queens than one king. Aside from that, the room was fine. Beds were of usual Marriott quality, the bathroom is pretty big. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was the decor, but Fairfield Inn has its own style so it is what it is. Staff here were friendly, but my experience with them was basically limited to check in, picking up some extra towels from housekeeping, and check out. Location is a bit isolated as it is a newer property as compared to the other hotels in the area (i.e., Courtyard and Residence Inn are further south). But it is generally within driving distance of most places. Only places that are walking distance are La Quinta Brewing Co., Subway, and Jack in the Box. There is a free breakfast, but I didn't wake up early enough to take advantage of it. Parking is free, which is not a guarantee with a lot of hotels these days. Overally, it was a perfectly serviceable stay. My preference is to stay at other hotels in the area, but this wasn't bad.

    Messy but not a dealbreaker

    3.75 This Fairfield delivered what is to be expected, comfortable and convenient stay. There's no wow to this location, but they are very centrally located off the main freeway and the room was ample in space and critter free. My only critique is the bathroom walls looked like there had been some painting done but the walls were not wiped down. Just looked unnecessarily messy. The splatter was all over both sides. Overall, it provided a clean and easy stay for our quick stay.

    This is my second time staying here. I wouldn't say it say is was a bad stay, but just a very average experience. First, and not the fault of this location, but the website was acting weird when I tried to change the reservation. I actually made the reservation about 7 weeks ago for the total price of $179 on a Saturday night. 2 days before I was supposed to be there, I checked the rates again and it gave me $129! so, I cancelled the one room and got another reservation. I prepaid the room to get an extra discount and even checked in from home when I received the email. I did ask for, not expecting to get it, early check in for 11am, but I did ask for it. I also asked for a higher floor (there are only 4). I then signed up for text alerts when my room ready. Day of arrival - no texts, no emails, nothing. The reason I asked for 11am check in was because I wouldn't be able to check in until after 10pm if I couldn't check in before noon. Since I didn't receive a text, I checked in around 10:15pm. Well, lo and behold, they still had reservations for 2 rooms, and neither was prepaid! This is where the staff gets 5 stars. She cancelled the extra room and gave me the suite (only $20 more) which was my 2nd reservation and STILL cheaper than my first. They put a $100 hold on the card for incidentals, of which I have no clue what that might be. There is no restaurant, no pay per view movies, and nothing to really charge to the room. They do have a small "corner marker" that was pretty sparse that maybe you can charge you room? I don't know because it was pretty sad. I would go to the nearby AMPM before getting something here. The suite is nice. It's basically a longer room with a sofa, 2nd TV and work area. I like Fairfield Inn's because of the fridge and microwave. I wish all hotels had a mini fridge, so extra bonus here. Otherwise, the room was OK and functional. I was kind of hoping for a bathrobe, but no dice. The shampoo, body wash, conditioner, are attached to the wall so there's no stealing extra shampoo for home. I completely understand why they've gone this route, but I still get weirded out by communal dispensers. I assume they are sanitized like everything else. I popped open my laptop. Internet connection was fine. Then turned on the 2nd TV. They have Netflix, YouTube, and others, which I think are free, or you can sign in if you have an account already set with your favorites. There's a way to log off everything you signed in to and also a message saying everything will be reset when you check out. A nice touch. Problem was, I couldn't get past the main menu! When I selected TV or YouTube, the screen went blank. I tried turning it off then back on and the same thing happened. Boooo! Luckily, the TV by the bed worked just fine, but still annoying. I learned very quickly the walls are super thin and you can hear everything in the hallway. In fact, there was knock on a door and I thought it was mine! It wasn't. I do like that they have a cover over the peep hole so people can't look in from the hallway. Nice touch. The bed was comfortable enough. The lamps are a bright white rather than warm light which I personally just find annoying. Not the type of light I want to be exposed of right before bed. I was awoken a few times by the noise in the hallway, especially in the morning. Not good. I swear I could hear everything. Ugh. The free breakfast was OK. Fairly standard. Only issue here was they had sausage links and waffles but no forks! At least none I could fine. They did have 2 sections for spoons though. Did someone forget the forks? Finally, I 'm getting ready to leave and was disappointed you couldn't check out through the TV. It's possible you can check out through the app, but I'm partial to the TV check out where you can see you bill. Luckily, no other customers were at the front desk so check out was a breeze and I was on my way. One thing to know about this location is the area has been recently developed and there is a still a lot of undeveloped land around it, which means a lot of sand gets blown around, especially on your car. A thorough washing of my car was needed just from being there about 12 hours. None of the negative things would prevent me staying here again if the price is right. The people were nice which at least made me feel welcome.

    Do not stay here if you have sleep apnea and use a cpap machine, or need any constant power bedside. The hotel has motion sensors throughout the room, that turn off all of the power outlets. How did I find out? I woke up last night gasping for air, with my cpap mask on. I then moved to check my machine, and it powered back on. I spoke with the on duty manager and he didn't give a fuck and said that their outlets that are connected to the motion sensor have the ground on top, and that is common knowledge. Yet when I told him I stay in Marriott branded hotels more than 100 nights per year, and this is the first time I've ever had this happen, he shrugged. After calling the Titanium line, they had the hotel bring me an extension cord. Marriott International

    This is our second time staying here.... First time since Covid.....Checked in by phone but we still needed a key‍‍ Anyway, the place is still new so everything is great.... Our room is large with a living space, very nice.... The room is very quiet which I love.... can't here the traffic in the corridor or the elevator all night......In fact I can't here the elevator at all..... Great blackout drapes....my husband also loved the small gym area..... Our housekeeper "Yes" that's what she said to call her was the bomb.... No matter what we asked for... YAYA" has a smile on her face.... And will go out of her way to help you.... Thank you YaYa! You deserve to move up.....The customer loves you.... Sometimes it takes management awhile to see who is really customer oriented... the lady that checked us in could use a few tips from you.... She was okay, but you are friendly and always smiling, and helpful!

As it is open to the public, it's also a venue for high level convenings and international diplomacy. The estate has been a retreat for US presidents and a convening place for world leaders since 1966. My first time here which I have heard quite a lot of things about this place. It's kind of hidden with only the sigh out front along the driveway. Hidden behind the walls, as you drive through the gate along the long driveway with the well maintained cactus garden landscape. You come upon the spectacular estate. The entire property is very well maintained with loads and loads of cactus and garden plants. The main building, information right when you walk in, a beautiful lobby that looks out to the most amazing garden and grassy knoll, gift shop, cafe and the museum. Besides the property which is free to check out and walk through the gardens, they also offer a guided tour of the estate which I believe is with a driven golf cart. Right when you walk in the museum is to the left side of the main building. The lobby is right in the middle which looks out to the garden. Cafe, gift shops and restrooms is to the right. Cafe does have outdoor seating but it was quite hot today. Once you walk out to the garden, the massive grassy knoll is the focal point. I'm sure loads of amazing events have been held here. The gardens are all pretty much desert plants as you are in the desert. Two beautiful water feature on both side as you walk out. Just wandering through the gardens which are path is quite relaxing. Bench are placed throughout for seating and just enjoying this property. As you drive in, both side of the driveway is part of the garden as well. There's a wildflower garden which looked pretty massive from the maps was still under construction. But the other gardens are spectacular. It's amazing how something so beautiful is just tucked away behind a wall. The mid century property is literally Palm Springs architecture at its best. This place is worth checking out as it's free. A nice wander and enjoy what Palm Springs has to offer and learn some things.

The seats themselves were comfortable. The magician invited multiple people up on stage, and not just those in the front row. There is a lot of improv blended throughout. I enjoyed the visit.

The air conditioning gets seriously cold, which is a big win out here. Beds were comfortable, and the mini fridge was actually spacious enough for drinks and snacks, which is not always the case. I used the pool a few times. It is decent, though there is not a ton of shade and the metal chairs get very hot in the sun, so just be aware. Breakfast is included and offers plenty of options to get your day started. It is not trying to be anything fancy, but it is more than sufficient and better than expected for this category. Location wise, you are a short drive, about 15 minutes, from El Paseo, but there are several walkable dining options nearby that are better than average. All in, I really enjoyed my stay and found the rates to be very reasonable. I will gladly give credit where it is due. I would absolutely stay here again and even signed up for IHG rewards because of it. 5 stars.
