10/10 Excellent
"When staying at this resort for the weekend, it was pleasant and clean. The front desk staff was helpful and got me checked into my room in good timing, even though I arrived slightly early than their usual check-in time. The room was clean and good space, plus since I was on the first floor, there was a small patio to enjoy your coffee, and the shower was nice. It was easy to access the pool and spa and walk into town was the best part about the location, as I wouldn't have to drive. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for some place that's easy to walk into town without the hassle of parking and get to everything they need from shopping to restaurants to nightlife."

"I only gave this a 4 star. I have been there before when it was a 5. It is under new management and found it very strange that a resort (who charges a resort fee) was totally out of washcloths. They were kind and offered extra hand towels, but come on, Amazon is a day away for those folks who asked for one (like me)) would have been happy to just have one. So, a 4, but a fabulous place to say the least!!"

"Good location for Palm Springs. Had a good stay. Great pool area that is big, attractive and has a good atmosphere. Slide for the kids. Carlos makes great cocktails and is very friendly at the pool bar. The buildings and communal areas/corridors are a bit dated. Room (studio) was spacious and average decor for a Hilton. Bathroom dated and a bit tatty. Could do with some more amenities for resort fee (currently pool, parking, basketball court). Minimal dining on site - only a pool bar that shut at 7pm. Overall 7/10."
