Travel tips
Book with a car in mind, as most Coachella Valley attractions -- including PGA WEST, Indian Wells Tennis Garden, and The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens -- are several miles away and best reached by driving. The Coachella Valley History Museum is close enough for a short walk, but plan on a 10-15 minute drive for casinos and golf courses. Given some reported issues with reservations and check-in wait times, travelers may want to call ahead to confirm bookings and arrive within standard check-in windows.
What guests say
Guest feedback is mixed, with recurring praise for the front desk, management, and housekeeping staff being described as hard-working and helpful. On the negative side, multiple reviewers cite cleanliness problems, including lingering odors in rooms, as well as maintenance issues such as leaking showers and broken bathroom fixtures. Some guests also report reservation and check-in difficulties, unresponsive customer service when filing complaints, and safety concerns related to outside individuals attempting to access rooms at night. Value perception is inconsistent, with some travelers feeling the price did not match the room condition they encountered.
