Residence Inn Palm Desert

Hotel was 2 levels , no elevators, in the heat would have been nice. Needs a few upgrades in room... couch & chair could be better in living area. 3 flat screen TVs. All worked well. Linens on beds very worn, bedspread was stained in master... but it was quiet and air conditioner was excellent! Shower was too high ... good for 7 foot person. Kitchen was equipped.. refrigerator, microwave, etc. breakfast was ok. Didn't use pool but noticed only a couple of umbrellas. Could be a problem in the heat. We would stay there again. Close to golf, I-10, and everything you need.

Marriott Titanium Member (Marriott does not allow reviews unless you receive a random survey) PROS: Well kept old style RI Casitas with ground floor and 2nd level units. NO ELEVATOR but did not affect me Staff is friendly snd efficient (Enrique) Nice size flat screens with internet channels Staff brought in mexican catering for Wed night mixer tacos! Good housekeeping service Grounds and pool area well kept I had a room that faced a large tree that provided shade Very large work out gym with top of line cardo snd weights even Bosu ball CONS: *Summer days are triple digits every day into night In Palm Springs due to Mother Nature * Hotel due for a renovation There is construction going on but not sure what they are doing. Pool was very busy on weekend but quiet during the week (did not go during day) Parking is VERY LIMITED even when there is not many guests. Some buildings have no parking . There are ZERO ELEVATORS so if you do not want to schlep luggage upstairs and maybe far from your room/ask where your unit will be and stay on ground floor. All handicap spots are located in front on 1 dedicated building which appeared empty/closed. Overall, this was a perfect hotel for me. I enjoyed my stay as my goal was a quiet place /attentive staff/with coffee served all day and nice Wed mixer food.

We stayed at the Residence Inn Palm Desert in the first week of July. Our room was on the second floor backing out to the golf course. It was perfect! All the dealings with hotel staff throughout the week were all positive. Our room was perfect all week and we would happily stay here again. The pool area was well maintained and the provided breakfast was good. My only suggestion would be to provide a room safe for your guests.

Great location for Palm desert activities. Down side, room smells like cigarettes. The last straw was the barking dog in the room below us. The front desk refused to do anything about the issue. His statement was, "we are pet friendly", my reply is was are you customer friendly? We left the hotel and demanded our money back for the second night They obliged. Based on cigarette smell in room and barking dogs take precedence, not a good place to stay.

Our ground-floor room had all the Residence Inn necessities that appeal to us: a frig, small stove top, dishware, sofa, and a comfy bed. The Happy Hour evening event allowed visitors to pour themselves wine or beer, while they snacked on quesadillas and other snack-variety choices. Breakfasts featured the usual (but it was a few notches better than most others) as they provided tortillas, their fresh fruit selection featured strawberries, etc., and the bakery selection was impressive. Our recommendation for dinner is to walk next door to Applebee's and take advantage of their 2-for-$20 or $25 or $30 deals (we actually figured we saved $20 for our deal). Taking it back to our room was so convenient. The Residence Inn had a very nice fitness room, barbeques, and a good sized pool. Our one-night stay was relaxing, even though the temps topped 107; nothing Residence Inn could do about that! The buildings are in the old style: 2-floor with no elevator to the second floor, and it is a short walk to the office/lounge/breakfast room. Nice location next to a golf course made for some impressive views.
