The Saguaro Palm Springs

The Saguaro Palm Springs

8/10 Good
"The property was super cute. Loved all the bright colors and pool area. The rooms are a bit dated and don’t have much light, but the beds were comfortable and the ac was newer in our unit. It took someone coming out to help us with the ac in our second room, but eventually got it to work."

The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa

8/10 Good
"We had a very nice experience at The Westin Rancho Mirage overall. The resort has a beautiful environment, and the pool area was perfect, especially for families with kids. Our kids really enjoyed the arcade in the evenings, which was a great way for them to have fun after spending the day at the pool. The main disappointment was the additional resort and parking fees that appeared on our final bill. We were not informed about these fees during check-in, so it was frustrating to see the extra charges at the end of our stay. I think these fees should be clearly explained to guests when they check in. We stayed on the first floor of Building 7, and another issue was the noise from the room above us. Early in the morning, we could clearly hear the upstairs guests walking, and the noise was loud enough to wake us up. It may be related to the age or construction of the building. Despite these issues, our overall experience was great. We really enjoyed the resort, the pool, and the relaxing atmosphere, and most importantly, our kids had a wonderful time. We would consider staying here again."
