  Mediocre Hotel, Incredibly Overpriced

  For the rates this hotel charges it is pure thievery. $1600 a night once you add in fees for their cheapest room category. The room you get for that price is small, crowded, and extremely dated looking. There is no mini bar just an empty fridge. Housekeeping is horrific. There is an old Band-Aid from some other Guest that has been in the shower drain since I checked in and it seems like it will probably be there for the entire duration of my stay. Some days they don’t come. Some days when they come they don’t replace things like dirty coffee cups. Twice now they have taken away the bathrobe and not replaced it. That’s an uncomfortable fact to discover when someone is knocking at your door. These might seem like small details but for these prices, it’s absolutely unacceptable. You can hear everything that happens in the hallway from inside the room. At this particular hotel, there seemed to be a lot of small children, running up and down the hallway and screaming. Utter lack of soundproofing is part of the very dated feel. Probably worst of all, is that when you point out an issue or ask them to fix something no one apologizes. They’re just like OK and are borderline rude. literally everyone that I’m traveling with has had some similar issues. Avoid this hotel. No character, no charm and enormous rip off for the price. The grounds are lovely, but this is Palm Springs. You could find more character and lovely grounds at a better price with management that actually cares about its guests.

  Weekend Bliss: Rancho Mirage Ritz-Carlton

  Our stay at the Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage as a lifetime Platinum Elite was fantastic. December 12th to 14th. Valet grabbed our luggage the second we pulled up. Madison at the desk was incredibly friendly and accommodating, acknowledged my status and upgraded us to a fireside room without missing a beat. The bellhop on arrival was super friendly, knowledgeable, wheeled everything up, unloaded it, walked us through where the spa, gym and club lounge were. Room service had one tiny glitch, Jason at front desk apologized, credited us back, no questions asked. The club lounge staff though? Above and beyond. Always smiling, kept it pristine, everything stocked, made us feel like regulars, we met some really cool people in there, talked travel all night. Food selection good, just shy of Ritz quality but hey, they made up for it tenfold in warmth. State Fare Bar & Kitchen was lovely, great selection and tasty food. Trails wrapped around the hill, valley views at dusk, stars everywhere, quiet, tranquil, pure peace. Our dogs got fluffy beds, towels, dog treats, the works. Checkout? Just as smooth. Jim the bellhop came up quick, got our bags, loaded 'em into the car, valet had it running, safe and ready every single time, even when we went out shopping and for dinner at local restaurants. Karen in the California Style Boutique? Warm as a hug. I spotted these vibrant paintings, classic Palm Springs haunts in full color, and since I grew up here we shared stories about what those streets used to feel like. Classic Ritz charm. Zero cracks. Heading back soon.

  A Nice Stay in Palm Springs

  I stayed here with my husband for a fantastic 4 nights in early December 2025 while he attended the nearby BMW driving experience. Our room was comfortable and well appointed - one night I slept for nearly 11 hours! I don't think I've done that in years, if ever. The room doors do close loudly and I thought this would have been an issue during our stay, though it never was. I initially thought of booking a room with a fire pit, but in the end I'm glad I didn't as those rooms are all open to a main open area and didn't feel as private and cozy as I would have wanted. We love Palm Springs and have previously enjoyed staying near to downtown in a boutique hotel, but we wanted to try something different on this trip. While the Ritz Carlton was a great hotel for us on this stay, it is a bit far away from everything. There's also a $50 per day parking fee, which seemed excessive given the location.

  Incredible Ritz

  This is the second time my son and I stayed with you all and it was incredible. Every employee we encountered was wonderful. The service at this property is an A+. From the Front Desk, to Housekeeping, Concierge, and the restaurants as well. The location is beautiful, and we took advantage of the local trails that were right there. This is truly a gem of a property.
