Travel tips

If you want to spend most of your time on the main downtown strip, plan your route in advance, as reviews suggest the property is a bit removed from the core—though restaurants and bars are still walkable. For sightseeing, it’s convenient to cluster nearby stops like the Kaufmann House, Agua Caliente Casino Palm Springs (about 1566 m), and the Palm Springs Art Museum (about 1712 m) into one outing. For early departures or one-night stays, the hotel is frequently described as efficient and comfortable for quick turnarounds.
