The pool was where we spent most of our time, and the covered outdoor space was perfect for eating and escaping the sun. We also cooked all of our meals in the kitchen and BBQ and lacked nothing that we needed. We would not hesitate to stay again!

Absolutely terrible experience…read more We booked this Airbnb expecting a normal stay, but instead got constant stress and zero transparency. The host never properly explained the noise policy, and suddenly we were being threatened with fines and eviction over things that were never clearly communicated. At one point, random people showed up, claimed we had to leave, gave us a "2-hour notice" with no documents, and even disabled the door access. Completely unprofessional and honestly felt unsafe. This ruined our entire trip. No support, no accountability, just pressure and intimidation. Would NOT recommend to anyone. Be very careful booking here -- what you see is definitely not what you get.

So let me see... This little gem in Palm Springs is amazing. The hospitality is on point, above…read moreand beyond I can confidently say. Highly recommend planning a stay at The Twist. When arrived we were early, but we were welcomed to relax and enjoy the property while we waited. Jamie, who was a gracious host, offered us complimentary margaritas! Who can say no to free margaritas, not me that's for darn sure. And they were really good. I say "they" because I and the hubs partook (word?), eh who cares you all know what I mean. Orange is the running color throughout the Twist property. Plenty of spots to sit and chill. Fire pits and chairs/lounge chairs. Parking available in the back was plentiful. Little mini golf. Clubs and balls in your room. Oh I can go on and on but I need to see when we can come again....SOON!

I had my wedding at the Lautner Compound and would highly recommend it!

It was also great working with Tracy during the planning process. Beyond maintaining the venue, she was very helpful in recommending additional vendors and sharing insights on details like table design and timeline. Tracy genuinely wants to help the bride and groom, and she was always great in answering all the questions I had. On the wedding day, the venue manager, Jules, made us feel so comfortable at the Club House, checking in often to make sure we had everything we needed. I'm so glad I chose to have my wedding here, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a superbly managed venue! PC: Takke Photography Floral Design: Studio Kate

We stayed in Unit #3 for two nights in April and, unfortunately, it fell far short of our…read moreexpectations. Here's why I can only give it one star: Stale, musty room: On arrival the air felt heavy and the dishes were still dirty--guests are expected to wash, dry and put away every pot and plate before checking out. There's no housekeeping, no daily room service--this operates more like an Airbnb than a hotel. Worn furnishings: Several pieces showed visible wear, and the reading lamp above our bed hung loosely from its cord. Unwelcoming plunge pool: There are no chairs or loungers, it isn't heated, and with 45 mph winds whisking through the courtyard, our so-called "pool time" lasted about five minutes. Remote location: A 25-minute drive to downtown Palm Springs, surrounded by modest residential streets and few shops or restaurants. The only local gem--Cabot's Pueblo Museum--is worth the trip out, but don't expect dining or nightlife within walking distance. Constant high winds: We couldn't use the patio or outdoor seating at all. Everywhere else in the valley was calm, so it wasn't just seasonal. We would have happily taken a refund and rebooked closer to town--there are so many charming alternatives (Trixie Motel, Korakia, Tommy Bahama's Mira Monte). Unless you're on a Mid-Century Modern tour that includes Lautner's work, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. I was also very disappointed that we were expected to do dishes, take out trash, etc. This was not presented as an Airbnb style accomodation. Why are we paying a cleaning fee if all they are doing is swapping linens? We were super excited but very disappointed.

My birthday weekend at The Velvet Rope in Palm Springs was nothing short of unforgettable. From the…read moremoment we arrived, we were treated like family. Every detail of this boutique hotel is thoughtfully curated--from the gorgeous design and unique rooms to the peaceful atmosphere that makes you never want to leave. A huge thank you to David, whose hospitality truly sets this place apart. You can tell how much love and passion he has put into creating such a special experience, and it shines through in every interaction. And Julio at the bar was absolutely incredible! Not only does he make amazing cocktails, but he also creates such a fun, welcoming atmosphere. He went above and beyond to make our birthday celebration feel extra special, and by the end of the weekend, he felt more like a friend than a bartender. What makes The Velvet Rope stand out isn't just the beautiful property--it's the people. Every member of the team made us feel genuinely cared for, and the level of service was beyond anything we've experienced. If you're looking for a boutique hotel with luxury, personality, incredible cocktails, and hosts who truly care about their guests, this is the place. Thank you, David, Julio, and the entire Velvet Rope team for making my birthday one I'll never forget. We are already planning our next visit!

From the moment we walked in, the owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. He took the time to show us around the property, and honestly, I was wondering how I had never discovered this hidden gem before. Every room is uniquely themed with classic old-school Palm Springs charm. From JFK and Marilyn Monroe-inspired spaces to an adorable Playboy-themed room and even a Liberace room, every detail is thoughtfully designed, classy, and full of character. The indoor bar area is absolutely amazing and adds to the fun, retro vibe of the entire property. The bartenders and staff were all friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We rented a cabana, relaxed by the pool, enjoyed great music all day, and had food delivered directly to us. The drinks were fantastic, the atmosphere was perfect, and everything felt effortless and enjoyable. I also love that the property can be rented out for private events--it would be such a fun and unique venue for a celebration. This place exceeded all expectations, and I will absolutely be back. Loved everything about it!

So peaceful, amazing customer service by all staff that we interacted with. The suite was very aesthetically decorated and the deep, jet tub was amazing. It's within walking distance to all the restaurants and shops without being in the middle of noise from the Main Street. We were pleasantly surprised with the break room area. Has a candy station and the breakfast box in the mornings is great. At check in we were welcomed with a voucher for champagne . Andrea's Hotel definitely lives up to the standards of a quiet boutique hotel. We are definitely looking forward to our next stay and highly recommend it to our family and friends.

**Beautiful Hotel, Terrible Guest Experience**…read more We were really disappointed with our stay. The location is excellent, and the hotel itself is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. Almost every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, one person managed to completely overshadow all of that: Karl. Karl seemed determined to micromanage our entire experience, particularly around the pool. No outside food or beverages. No floaties in the pool. And, apparently, guests are not allowed to move the umbrellas--even when the temperature is 112 degrees and you're simply trying to create some shade. During the off-season, when the pool area was far from crowded, it was especially difficult to understand why the umbrellas were apparently there for decoration rather than shade. Karl would literally come out of his office if he saw you holding food or a drink while walking through the pool area. At one point, we were leaving to go to dinner with an unopened bottle of wine in our possession. We stopped briefly to talk to friends who were still in the pool, and Karl came out of his office to tell us we had to leave the pool area. When we questioned the reasoning, his response was essentially a grin, a shrug, and repeated variations of "That's the rules." To be clear, the rules themselves are not the problem. Hotels are entitled to have rules, and guests should respect reasonable policies. The problem was HOW Karl chose to enforce them. His constant monitoring and condescending manner made us feel less like paying guests and more like children being watched for misbehavior. A beautiful hotel with a great location and otherwise wonderful staff should be a place where guests feel welcome. Instead, our experience was overshadowed by one manager who seemed far more interested in enforcing every minor rule than in making guests feel comfortable. Fortunately, there are plenty of other hotels in Palm Springs. Based on this experience, we will never stay here again. Apparently, Karl doesn't believe in repeat customers.

MY 600TH REVIEW!!!!…read more I wanted to save #600 for someone special and Desert Star is the best! I was looking for a quality, reasonably priced hotel for a quick trip to Palm Springs and Yelp sent me the right way on this one for sure! These are just some of the things we loved: -calm atmosphere without being stuffy -bikes to use while you are there -bungalows with all the cooking facilities to make you feel at home -postcards pre-stamped in the room so we could write our friends -super stylish digs -nicely maintained pool area with fire pit -our own private patio with fire pit and BBQ -really, really sweet hosts who made us feel totally at home I just can't say enough good things about out experience. I have stayed at some super expensive 5 star hotels all over the world and nothing compared to this. This is hands down my favorite place I have ever stayed. When I am stressed out and wanting a vacation, being at the Desert Star is what I fantasize about!

While it had its flaws, I found this little boutique hotel quite charming and comfortable. Ypur…read morefirst exposure to this beautiful spot is that all the buildings are painted black. But that is nothing compared to the breathtaking artwork done by Ouizi, which is just amazing! Each building is painted with florals that are so beautifully done that you just can't stop taking photos. The atmosphere created by the artwork is very calming, which is perfect when all you want to do is sit by the pool and relax. Most of the rooms have small front porches if you prefer sitting in the shade and staying close to your lodging. The gated parking was also great and gave us a feeling of being safe. You are offered a chilled glass of rose' upon arrival and given the pertinent details. It's a keyless property, so there are codes for the gates and the rooms. They have adorable pink bicycles for your use, as well as a pantry offering snacks all day until 10 pm. In the morning, they have fresh croissants, oatmeal, coffee, tea and fruit, all complimentary The pool area and the grounds are fantastic. Plenty of lounge chairs make it convenient and there are umbrellas galore for those who want to stay out of the sun. They play French music all day until 10 pm, so you definitely feel like you've escaped to another country! There is also cornhole available, as well as a life-sized chess set if that's your thing. The room we rented was a double queen room, which had a large bathroom and a cute kitchen with a dining area. There are no cooking facilities, but there's a fridge and a coffee maker, and you have use of the microwave in the pantry should you want to warm up leftovers. The beds were super comfortable. There were some cons, however. The website emphasizes in all caps that the pool is HEATED. It is not! It was quite chilly and almost everyone there mentioned it. Our room was a little shabby. The porcelain glazing in the shower was peeling; the terra cotta tile flooring was cracked and worn; the furniture was old; and there is no closet, just a space in the bathroom for hanging clothes. It is also on a fairly busy street and close to a busy intersection, so we made sure we ran the fan all night so as not to be bothered by traffic noise. Also, we arrived at about 2:20 p.m., which was about 40 minutes before their 3:00 check-in policy. However, we saw the cleaning crew had finished our room and yet still they made us and everyone else who was trying to check in wait until their 3:00 edict. I informed them my sister was handicapped, and they did not offer to let us get into our room any earlier. I'm confused as to why when the room is ready, they don't allow you to check in 40 minutes early. It just struck me wrong. None of the cons were so serious that I wouldn't consider staying here again. As two sisters traveling together, we loved it! I'd definitely go back for another "escape" when the time comes.
