    I posted on here the the awful service we got from being overcharged $65 after dining here. I IMMEDIATELY tried to take care of the matter and I was told twice that they recognized the issue and they would refund my credit card right away. I appreciated that they responded here on Yelp and said they would take care of it, especially after a runaround that I had to endure now this third time. However, that NEVER happened. I posted on here and you can see that they responded that they would take care of things. Of course I am posting because NOTHING ever got taken care of, even though they are making it look like they care by responding but the proof is in action...and in this case NO ACTION! No call, no reaching out to me via Yelp and NO refund...NOTHING! I guess a third time is not a charm for trying to get this resolved. Now I am thinking that this is their game, that by ignoring my issue of being over charged that I will give up and go away, and then they get make extra money off the guests. Wonder how many other people this has happened to? They recognized the mistake each and every time I've tried to get this matter taken care of and still the same results. Save yourself from being overcharged. I am even shocked that the owner doesn't even care enough to get involved.

    Ugh I really wanted to give this place a five stars because overall I really did like the place. My biggest let down though was the fact the pool and hot tub were super dirty. Stayed for 2 nights, 3 days, and everyday it seemed the pool/hot tub just kept getting dirtier. I never saw anybody come and clean it. There was hair and bugs floating all around and as a germaphobe, I just couldn't stand being in the water! Which really sucks because I feel like the pool is a good center point for the establishment, yet I didn't even want to go in because it was gross. Whoever is in charge, I highly recommend you reach out to your pool people and ask them to clean more! Besides the pool/hot tub being dirty, the rest of the place was absolutely amazing. The room was great. I loved that they had bath salts for the tub to soak in. The area was quiet and relaxing. The staff were super nice and helpful. I loved that they had a welcoming drink and snack for whenever you got there. You got a complementary bag which I used and love. Some other cute things like a basket with fresh towels, water, and snacks. They really did amazing with the customer service aspects and making you enjoy the stay. I definitely plan to come back again one day, I just hope they get their pool/hot tub cleaning situation under control by then!

    Aesthetically this place is nice but the service was horrible. We walked over from Ace - don't recommend on a hot day. It's been on my list for a very long time and have stayed at their sister property many times. Sat at the bar for some early drinks. The place was pretty empty it was about 3:45 and we ordered one of their signature drinks I asked if there was any room for dinner and she said they are booked in a condescending voice asked if we could order a cheese board and she said she they were all out. I asked if the kitchen could throw one together and said they are premade so no but she would give us gold fish?? The place stayed empty and I over heard a few walk in's come in after so we left. Never supporting this place again.

    We had a truly intimate and memorable dinner at The Barn, nestled within the charming Sparrows Lodge. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the general manager, Alex, who not only greeted us but personally served our meal inside the beautifully restored barn--once a working stable from decades past. Today, it serves as both the hotel's check-in and its sole dining venue. The Barn operates with a one-chef kitchen, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We discovered it through the Michelin Guide and are so grateful we chose it to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The food? Unforgettable. My husband and I will be dreaming about the cherries and burrata for a long time! The entire meal was the perfect summer dish, especially in the heat of Palm Springs. We left feeling full, yet light--nourished by ingredients that were clearly fresh and high quality. The ambiance was serene, cozy, and quaint. Service was a flawless 10/10. Alex and his small team do it all--welcoming guests, serving food, clearing tables, tending to the guests at the pool, cleaning the pool grounds and even managing check-ins. While that might seem like a lot for one team, we found it added to the charm. It gave the entire experience a personal, homegrown touch that's rare to find. We're already planning our return--next time not just for dinner, but to stay a few nights and soak in all the warmth this little desert oasis has to offer. Alex and his team made our anniversary one we'll never forget. Thank you!

    My partner and I loved this spot. We stayed here for 4 nights in a room with a kitchenette, a living area, and bedroom nook. We almost went with the room that had the fireplace but I'm glad we didn't because our room was tucked back and peaceful vs. the room with the fireplace is in view of the diners in the evening. Speaking of dining, we ate at the Sparrows lodge 3 of the 4 nights we stayed there because it was THAT good. Fresh and delightful food. The warm cookies were on point. The breakfast is also banging. They somehow flawlessly run on a very small staff and I cannot say enough good things about them. They really care about your experience. Overall, we highly recommend the Sparrows Lodge

    Sadly, I am writing a negative review because I really wanted my husband to know how special Sparrows is to me. This is my 7th or 8th visit spanning 4 years. I did speak with the GM, Alex Carlo, about all the things, but his overall response to me was, "Thank you for letting me know and I'm sorry this happened. I'll review this with my team." Unfortunately, I'm huge on customer service and this time they did not achieve the 5 stars I usually write about. These weren't minor issues. Check in was a communication fiasco. Sparrow's said our room would be ready soon. 3 hours later and just after 4pm I walked back to the barn and they gave me one key. This was after going back every 20 minutes or so starting at 3 pm. Next, there was very little left for breakfast the first morning because "they did not anticipate they would be sold out." And once the items are placed out, that's all. Lastly, every morning (3) I had to wait for coffee. Sparrow's is known for treating their repeat clients with a personal, cute "welcome back" note and a little something like a hat or special bag which I really missed this time. Also, I was not given the little brown bag with sage at checkout. I feel sad that this happened because I really cannot support a business without impeccable customer service.

    7/5 star review. The energy of the sparrow will resonate with any guest on levels yet imaginable. Sparrow is a beautiful amalgamation of palm spring foremost hoteliers, Richard and his husband Jeff. Their other two creations, holiday house and bar Cecil are delights. Sparrow felt like walking to a fairy dream land, with bonfires and beautiful souls, coupled w tremendous energy. We saw ourselves in the people working and staying at this hotel. Looking into the other employees and guests eyes, felt an immediate transcendental connection. The hoteliers wrap themselves in other peoples negativity and use it as a shield. Negative reviews were plastered on bathroom wasllls bc they're so secure in themselves. The sparrows lodge is the embodiment of old world meets new in Palm Springs. Richard and Jeff have created a beautiful container that exists within the Palm Springs ecosystem. Will be coming back for cookies, s'mores, the water features, and spa music in the zen garden.

    Love this room! Can't wait to try the others !

    Exactly what I needed, how I needed it. Sparrows Lodge is my new staycation home, far surpassing the larger place I used to stay at in Palm Springs. The abundance of art and the coolness of the staff immediately won my heart. Checking in at 9:30 pm, I appreciated the calm and chic approach of the bartender/receptionist, which was a perfect welcome after a long day of travel. This place has no TV or phones, a feature I hope stays forever. It felt deeply reviving without those electronics, making it a true retreat unlike most rentals. The signature beds were incredibly comfortable, and the rain shower with authentic Grown Alchemist products was a standout experience. As a gay guy, I felt completely comfortable tanning in my speedos and welcomed by the inclusive atmosphere. The staff wasn't intrusive but ensured I was well taken care of. This is 2024 service: people helping people, not catering to entitled travelers. I will be back and will bring others with me. As a big hairstylist, I'll recommend Sparrows Lodge to everyone and try always love my recommendations. Best digital detox ever.

    A sweet gem in Palm Springs. The Sparrows Lodge Restaurant did not disappoint. From our summer greens, to our market fish (halibut) and grilled cauliflower - our entrees were fresh and delicious. There are two areas to dine - both with nice ambience - inside with cool air conditioning (which we preferred since it was 104 degrees outside) and outside under the trees. We weren't brave enough to dine in the heat, but we noticed a few guest have copious amounts of cold water and ice and margarita's on hand. Our only recommendation would be to expand the libation list to offer a variety of wines and cocktails. The property is charming, so be sure to wander and explore. We would love to experience an overnight stay in the upcoming months, so we'll be sure to book ahead!

    THE SECRET IS OUT Nestled in the heart of Palm Springs, Sparrows Lodge is the ultimate desert oasis for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of LA. This chic and stylish boutique hotel has been a favorite among celebrities and travelers alike since its opening. Over the years, Sparrows Lodge has played host to a number of famous faces, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Bieber, and Kendall Jenner, just to name a few. And it's no wonder why - the hotel's secluded location, rustic charm, and understated elegance make it the perfect retreat for those looking for a little peace and quiet. But it's not just the celebrity sightings that make Sparrows Lodge so special. The property boasts an array of amenities, including a communal barn for socializing, a poolside bar, and some simple farm-to-table quick bites. If you're looking for a little pampering, the hotel's spa offers a range of treatments that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I've been here on several occaisions just to sit and sip on some wine and enjoy the ambiance of the pool, the fire pit and the "barn". The sign is really hard to find..

We had paid the extra $40 or so to get a room on the second floor and to our surprise, the double queen room came with a nice natural spring tub and was very spacious. The pools are open late with the back part closing at midnight while the main pool and hot spas are always open. We were able to go to the pools late at night and early in the morning and it was nice to have the room right there. We saw a few people who just got the day spa passes asking about the rooms and expressing regret that they hadn't just booked rooms here. Everything was really nice including the staff and service when we ordered food and drinks near the poolside. The skyline is beautiful and to be there on July 4th, we could see the fireworks in various parts of the sky.

We had parked in the back of the parking and lot and walked into the lobby area. We decided to pay for their day pass to everything at the spa, minus the massages and facials. The day pass was roughly $75 which gave us access to their mineral pools, main pool, and reflexology pool. As part of our day pass, we also had been given a locker that had a robe and slippers inside. You get charged an extra fee if you do not return these items. It was a hot weekend in Indio, but being in the hot water made it feel extreme! I was also to try their small mineral pools, bigger pool, and their reflexology walk - the walk was my favorite! My rating stems from the lack of service while we were here. Yes, the waters are great, but the service was subpar. The girls and I were there for about five hours, but were not asked about drinks or snacks once. There was a lady walking around giving beverages and taking orders from other guests, except us. It was saddening that they didn't come up to us, so we did leave earlier than expected. This was a unique experience, and it's quite decent if it's your first time. I don't think I'd come back for a second time.

Our rooms were ready when we arrived at noon, and we even received an upgrade due to our Bonvoy status. The front desk manager was so professional and kind! I was blown away when we arrived in our room and they had left the sweetest gifts for our son since it was his first trip. Touches like this are what make the Ritz Carlton brand legendary. Our entire stay was excellent. We enjoyed the pool and had the best service for drinks and lunch. We celebrated our wedding anniversary at The Edge. As always, the service was wonderful and the food was delicious. We only visited for one night, but everyone had the best time and felt relaxed heading back to reality.

    Very unfavorable and unexpected experience at The Monkey Tree in Palm Soring…read more Parking location was uncomfortable. Everything was dimly lit. General hotel layout was nice, felt vintage and was a refreshing twist. Room layout was interesting, tv was placed in front of the couch so you can't watch tv in bed. When first entering our room: 1. The two ceilings lights either flickered or did not turn on at all. The room was pitch black until we PLUGGED IN the closet lamp. 2. The bathtub was not clean, there were hairs. Bathtub was paint was chipped and the faucet was leaking as well. 3. The kitchen utensils were not clean. Forks, glasses and even the roll of paper towels were found dirty or used. The extra rolls under the sink were unwrapped. When coming to our room a few hours after check in, calling customer service (calling three times) took more than an hour, just for us to be told that the lighting and cleanliness issues will be solved in the morning. Was really looking forward to the experience but upon our first few hours, we felt unwelcome, uncomfortable and turned off of our whole stay. Especially when faced with the lack of cleanliness in the restroom, if our bathtub could be so apparently dirty, what else could they have missed? We were forced to spend the first few hours fixing up our room before starting to feel comfortable. This meant scrubbing the bathtub, washing every dish and checking every surface. With the lengthy and detailed check in process, we were really expecting a quality, travel worthy experience. Instead, it felt we were greeted with an unclean, uncomfortable welcome. As guests, it was made obvious to us that customer service was not at the forefront of our experience. Having decentralized customer service (through phone numbers and apps) made us feel so unattached from the actual experience.

    Loved my stay especially during a very stressful time in my life!…read more You check in by using codes for the front door and rooms! I loved swimming in a heated pool which I needed very much! Very quiet and peaceful place! I highly recommend it!

    I alway have a good time for drinks. The hotel itself is beautiful. Right in the heart of downtown…read moreand literally walking distance from everything. I've done both the high life rooftop poolside bar as well as the bar at 4Saints restaurant. Both great but different vibe. This visit, we went for the rooftop pool bar. More of a lowkey mellow atmosphere. With the pool right in front. They also have a very nice layout of seating with tables that lookout to the mountains. Pretty much anywhere you sit, the view is great. Drink menu is alway good with loads of specialty cocktails and a nice wine list. Food can also be served if you're hungry. The vibe is nice and chill and great for an afternoon or during sunset. It can get hot as it's outdoor and in the open. More chill but can get loud as the pool is literally feet's away. Still A cool place to hang and have a drink. I alway recommend the place to people who's looking for a nice spot for a drink. Then you have the hotel, it's very clean and modern. Lobby is very beautiful with check in as well as the seating area. There's also a bar located downstairs which they offer the social hour. One of the hotels that's worth checking out in Palm Springs.

    We stayed at the KLIMPTON PALM SPRINGS, for a 3 Night/4 Day Stay for our 14th Wedding…read moreAnniversary!!! It was a wonderful experience, BEYOND BELIEF!!! It got started with a reservation made on COSTCO.COM, with a package deal to include a car. We didn't just get a car, we got an AUDI QUATTRO w/ 400 miles on it. CAN YOU BELIEVE??? On the morning we were to drive to PALM SPRINGS, and my partner was on his way to get the car, I called Guest Services. I inquired about our room, and got upgraded to an upper floor, corner suite with a king size bed. It included a couch and a desk, AND TWO TVS!!! We also had a small fridge stocked, but had the food and drinks removed for our stuff!!! THEY OBLIGED!!! On the 2nd Day, I called the front desk, asking about PRIME AND NETFLIX. Immediately, they sent up a technician to show us how to use the TV AND GOOGLE, and how to interact with our phones. In short, WE WERE ABLE TO WATCH OUR FAVORITE MOVIES in the morning and at night. WITH THE COSTCO PACKAGE, we got free valet and free WIFI!!! Every night from 4 PM TO 5 PM, there was a wine and beer night!!! It was often the time when we were returning from touring, to relax, shower, change and get ready for dinner. We actually had time on our FIRST NIGHT to go swimming in the pool on the roof. What a treat!!! Every night, we ate at different place for dinner. On the first two nights, we took advantage of the hotel's shuttle, a big, white Suburban!!! VERY CLASSY!!! We ate dinners at Johnny Costa's, Bar Cecil (NOT TO BE MISSED!!!), and on the last night, Smokin Burgers. We ate out for breakfast one morning, and then we went to KING'S HIGHWAY. It had a 1950's VIBE. We went out every day for activities and touring, EVERY DAY WE RETURNED TO A CLEANED ROOM. We never actually saw them, but the bed was made, trash was removed. ETC. Speaking of ACTIVITIES, we tried on the first day ??( do a SCAVENGER HUNT FROM VIATOR for $49 for 2. TOTAL BUST. DAY 2 was Self Guided Driving Tour of Palm Springs and Palm Springs Aerial Tram. Day 3 was Self Guided Driving Driving Tour of the Windmills and Self Guided Driving Tour of Joshua Tree. We did drop in Aqua Caliente CASINO, and thanks to Vanna White, I made $90.00!!! WHICH WENT TO PAY FOR BAR CECIL.

    Our 1st time to Palm Springs. Chose this hotel based on the excellent reviews and intimate…read morefeeling. Did not disappoint!! Secluded, rooms surround the pool/patio area. Carlos and John, the hosts, are so friendly and helpful. We stayed in the "Pink Room". I wish I could live in it! So roomy and inviting. We spent a lot of time there since it was 122 outside. That and in the amazing pool. They provide a cocktail and appetizer in the evening (Carlos even served to us while we relaxed in the pool) and a tasty breakfast at a time you can choose. Can't wait to go back there when the temp outside is not so brutal.

    This place is a true gem, maybe a hidden gem due to the negative reviews as of lately…read more My husband and I booked this place for a quick weekend getaway. I was a little scared when I read that most of the recent reviews were negative. I was thinking "oh no! What did I get us into." This place is a blast from the past. The decor is that of a mid century modern and is a really cozy quadrangle set up. The interior feels homey and the property is set up like an air bnb with shared amenities. They play 1950s music all day on speakers throughout the complex, it creates that vintage feel but can get repetitive after a few days. Lounge with tables, board games, travel brochures, couches, fire place, coffee and tea, and industrial kitchen for use during your stay. (Old reviews mention happy hour, breakfast, snacks, etc. these are no longer offered but why not just bring your own?) Each room has microwave and mini fridge. Outdoor gas fire pit for use. The pool is small but has a deep end 8ft which is nice. There are pool noodles and some tubes to use. The hot tub is spacious and powerful jets. We stayed in the Hawaiian surf room, loved the theme it was so cute and felt like a tropical getaway. The shower is small but functional. Good AC unit with a remote control and ceiling fan. Surfboard coffee table and wicker love seat add to the tropical feel. Overall this was a nice private getaway. You can be left alone to relax! If you need anything you can text the hotel and someone replies super quick in my experience. The hotel feels very secure with codes needed to enter the complex and security cameras at the entrance and surrounding the complex. (Probably for management to check and make sure everything is running smoothly). I would stay here again in a heartbeat and I have stayed at a few different boutique hotels in the area. This would be a top choice! Please realize this is an older complex and it does show some wear and tear but come on the building is probably 100 years old or somewhere close to that. If you are expecting a sterile, high end, resort feel for your stay this is not your place... but otherwise this is a great choice! I couldn't help but feel bad for the owners with all of the really bad reviews on here because that was truly not my experience. I left off one star because there are definitely areas of improvement that could be made but not enough to ruin my experience.
