I stayed at this place last fall on a similar trip and liked it so much I stayed here again (4 nights) this year. My usual vacation style is to spend minimal time at my hotel, using it just as a home base for other activities, but this year I decided to slow it down a bit. The pool area, where I spent a few hours reading and a few minutes swimming, is large, very nicely maintained, and generally more appealing than some much more expensive places I've stayed at. There's really not much in the way of shopping or fine dining within easy walking distance, but such things, including downtown Palm Springs and the El Paseo shopping area, are within short, easy driving distance, and the immediate environment is pleasant, consisting mostly of other hotels along beautiful Palm Canyon Drive. I find the Palm Springs area in general easy to drive and park in, so having to use the car is not much of a problem. My sole caveat is that my 5-star ratings include a significant bang-for-the-buck factor. If you're looking for ultra-luxurious personal pampering, this ain't the place.

I do not usually stay on the south side of Palm Springs, but there were no rooms available at my usual spot. The hotel was ok--the staff were not very friendly--it almost seemed like I was bothering them when I checked in. The pool was nice, but other than that nothing special. I do really appreciate Shiloh Inn now, and I will always stay there or just not go.

Okay, let's get one thing straight. If you're craving some fancy hotel experience with bubbling cheerful robots greeting you at the front desk and the overall feel of corporate mentality of providing the illusion of a ""great stay"", steer clear of this place. However, if you want a great get-away experience without spending a ton of money and be around like-minded unpretentious people who are there to have a relaxing and fun time, this is the place. The check-in staff were straight forward and responded accordingly. They allowed a 45 minute early check-in but was very professional in letting me know that an early room might not be available. The moment of truth is the initial entrance into a room and I was very pleased with the appearance and smell (let's admit, we all pay attention to smell when we first enter a new room). Beds were great. Glasses were clean. Small fridge provided. Free wirless Internet. Hair dryer. Iron, ironing board, safe. The pool is large and there's a great grassy cabana area with bbq grills if you want to bring your own charcoal. The doors to the rooms are outside facing, no hallways. But glancing at the Motel 6 outside the bathroom window of our room, I was thankful to find a place that had much more charm and comfort. Bear in mind, there's a mix of occupants who choose to stay here but that adds to the charm since the draw is to be a simple get-away staying within a budget. A jewel in Palm Springs.

Actually I was surprised. It was clean and neat. The beds were very comfortable and the pool was heated very nicely. We had trouble getting towels for the pool but it worked out. They brought it to the room. The soap and shampoos were weird and I don't think the quality of the Shampoo & conditioner were very good but that's not important overall; I think I will stay there again.!!!
