Clean room, comfortable bed and pillows, easy parking, big pool.
Tanya
Our 3rd time staying here. We enjoyed our quick staycation and left feeling very relaxed. We enjoy Desert Hills because of it’s easy no fuss check in, it’s quaint space with only 12 or 13 rooms I believe? It’s in a quiet neighborhood that is walking distance to Spencer’s, Melvyn’s and downtown.
The rooms are really clean, very comfortable and we love the mid century decor. It’s seriously one of the most comfortable beds we’ve slept in at any of the hotels in the desert.
There is a good size fridge for us to bring drinks and snacks and they stock the rooms with silverware, plates, cups, coffee and snacks. A very nice touch!
Only complaint is that we weren’t notified that the jacuzzi was under construction.
Not that big of a deal but my husband was looking forward to soaking in it in the evening and early morning.

Our stay was going well until the power went out during our first night. I contacted the front desk around 6–7 a.m., and by 10–11 a.m. we were informed that a blown transformer was the cause and power wouldn’t be restored until around 4 p.m.
While I understand the outage was outside the hotel’s control, we were without A/C and refrigeration for over 12 hours, making it difficult to enjoy the property or its amenities. We spent most of the day away from the hotel, and the ice we requested wasn’t delivered until around 4 p.m.—just as the power came back on.
The outage wasn’t the hotel’s fault, but the response was disappointing. Communication was limited, the hotel seemed understaffed, and no accommodation or goodwill gesture was offered despite the significant disruption to our stay. I would have appreciated a partial refund or resort credit given the circumstances.

Everything was 10/10. Private, clean but what really stood out to me was the customer service. The staff was amazing and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Can’t wait to book again next year.
Patricia
Pool was perfect! Warm & clean. Neri the housekeeper was friendly & efficient. I liked that we only had Neri. Brian quickly took care of our only issue. Great location! Peaceful & beautiful small property. Expect a 60s vibe & decor.
Michelle
Staff is very responsive, great to work with. Location is walkable to restaurants/museums/trails etc! Location cannot be beat! Ample on site parking. Very spacious one bedroom apartment. Great extras - snacks, drinks, coffee pods. Furnishings are a bit tired.
Julie
This hotel is a hidden gem! Clean, comfortable and quiet. The view of the mountains is outstanding. Communication from the owners was excellent. We loved watching the birds at the fountain. Very easy parking and access to downtown.
John
Room, location, and staff were lovely. We were disappointed that the hot tub was under construction. Also, a fire pit would be a nice addition. We recommend Desert Hills overall.
Rebecca

Great service
I stayed in Palm Springs for my trip to see Joshua Tree National Park. It’s a small drive to the park but cool place to stay. Great service and location. Easy walking to restaurants and shops downtown but far enough away to be quiet for sleeping. I would stay here again.

It gets said a lot, about a lot of places, but this really is a little Oasis near Downtown PS / Arenas. Very nicely maintained & unassuming from the outside. Very tranquil neighborhood. Its contactless checkin meaning access is via email/messaging. I really look forward to staying here again.
Peter
A classic mid century hotel !
Beautifully decorated quiet, & comfortable room, a short walk from town made it perfect. Our host couldn’t have been nicer !

We loved our stay at the Desert Hills, It was our third time coming here and it is always fantastic. Very quiet, close to restaurants and shops. Great atmosphere, beautiful rooms and property. Only downside was a construction site outside the hotel which started their work at 7am. But other then that it was perfect. Thank you Desert Hills.
Lindsay
If you are looking for a clean, quiet, lovely stay in Palm Springs- this is the place. It was perfect for what I was looking for. My room was perfectly clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The pool area was quiet and clean. There is no working hot tub, otherwise 5 stars all around. I’ll definitely be back!

Good location in Palm Springs
The location was great and very peaceful however for 2 days there was no hot water for the shower 😩
Carolyn
Always a favorite in Palm Springs.
Dwight
It is fantastic! 50's mode clean! Constantly asking if all is well and if they could do anything. Nice little apartment, quiet.
Anthony
Beautiful setting with the mountains as a backdrop. Secure and intimate. Liked the mid-century look of the place and room was comfortable and spacious. Conveniently located within walking distance of downtown amenities.

While this is a “contactless” property, the staff stayed in close contact via text and was available of any concerns arose. It’s a charming mid-century low rise with a lovely pool area. Can’t beat the location
Bradley
A great Herbert Burns designed property that retains much of is original detail. The team at Desert Hills was great. Very professional and easy to communicate with even without an office on site.

Decent stay and clean
Decent stay - very clean, bed comfortable, amenities include only pool (hot tub was under construction and seemed like it had been for awhile, not sure) - easy park, easy check in - didn’t like you couldn’t use the pool before your check in time and no one was even there using it - especially when you travel all day and just want to relax - most hotels/accommodations have no problem if you want to do this - close walk to downtown

Mid Century Modern Motel
Great location, wonderful space
Danny
This resort is very mis leading the picture make it look like a quality boutique hotel. As a local from Palms Springs I can tell you that this place is below standard and the rooms are more of the quality of a motel 6 or travel lodge. The theme may be retro but its more like a cheap hotel from out of the 70's.
Luckily they did accommodate us and let us move across the street to their sister hotel \"Obits inn\".. There sister hotel is more of what you would expect from a stay in Palm Springs @ a boutique hotel.
Desert hills is over priced, over rated, and the pictures are miss leading.
Note: the hot tub had caution tape around it and the pool honestly didn’t look inviting.
Luckily there are so many other Amazing boutique hotels in palm springs and at a lower price; which is why i would never settle for the Desert hill hotel again...

Anne
We really enjoyed staying at the Herbert Burns designed Desert Hills. Our room was very well designed and comfortable. It is in a great location. The pool was heated and nice.
Robyn
What a fun little motel that takes you back in time! Easy check-in and friendly communications with all. We were only there for one night but will definitely choose this place again when we return to visit. One suggestion is to allow communication through WhatsApp instead of just texting for those who are not able to use text as an option while travelling.
Gabriel
It was very quiet and clean and an easy walk to downtown! The kitchen was a plus and the beds were very comfortable. Just wish the jacuzzi was working but other than that it was a great stay and would definitely stay there again!
Kathy
Loved hearing the birds in the morning! My room had all the extra touches of a home guest arrival - waters in the fridge, snacks on the counter, and cute soaps in the bathroom. Adorable pink bathroom with original tile makes this place a far better choice than a boring white & grey hotel room. I recommend Desert Hills.
Michele
My favorite stay anywhere
It was absolutely beautiful, clean and quiet.

I had an exceptional stay at this hotel. It was so roomy and comfortable. The staff and service made my stay worthwhile.

This hotel makes you feel like in the 50s. I loved the architecture, the furniture, the peaceful environment and the incredible friendliness from our host, Brian.
Deborah
Beautiful view and great location. Management very responsive.
Ben
Property was very nice. Easy walking distance to major attractions. Staff was very friendly. We stated in a room that seems to have a unsecured heat/cooling system attached to the outside wall and each time the system turned on you could hear the rattling of the unit. Otherwise great placethe
JAMES
Gorgeous mid-mod hotel in perfect location
Gorgeous Palm Springs hotel in the classic Mid-Mod design. Room exceeded expectations with its huge closet and well-equipped kitchen. Lovely period bathroom with powerful shower. Unbeatable location in Historic Tennis Club, five mins walk to Palm Canyon Drive
Kathleen D.
A favorite in Palm Springs
We have stayed here numerous times over the past 10 years because we love it! Perfect location (just 5 blocks from downtown in historic Tennis District), small size, quiet and comfortable rooms. Our room has been updated and redesigned in very mid-century vibes and was very cool. Kitchenette, back patio, fabulously strong shower. Only downside as the pool heater was broken making swimming impossible. But the management kindly offered availability to the pool at their nearby property which was fine. Also the jacuzzi has been on the fritz for a few years and hopefully that should be resolved by the summer. No management on the grounds but very easy to contact them.
Daniel
We were really happy with the retro style of the room, cleanliness and the staff. Unfortunate that the hot tub was under renovation and had to have a cold shower on the last day due to some renovations on the property, but I’m OK with that.
Mark
We liked it and will be back
Lorraine
Loved the mid century feel of Desert Hills. So well done. It’s like time traveling to the rat pack days. The property and the setting is beautiful. Would definitely recommend and look forward to booking again.
Fiona
Super nice staff and owner who were so helpful. Close to restaurants and all that Palm Springs has to offer. Really nice pool area
Ashley
Desert Hills was a great little oasis just at the bottom of the mountains. The pool offers awesome views of palm trees and the sorrow ding mountains. Around a 5 minute walk from the Palm Canyon Strip as well which made dining and shopping easy and convenient! Ben was wonderful when our flight arrived early and made sure we had a place to put our bags. The rooms had plenty of room nice enough amenities for the time we spent in it. The glowing tree also makes an easy pickup/ drop off spot for ride share/ delivery services!
robert
Awesome retro properties
Joanne
Very quaint and clean. Easy walk down to shopping and restaurants. Nice pool area. Check in is a bit strange without a front desk or ability to drop off bags if you arrive early but the guy across the street at Orbit Inn looked after us. My friend had suite 1 which was remodeled and beautiful. I had room 8 which needs a refresh.
Katrien

Very quiet hotel, with all rooms circling a central courtyard and pool. Great location close to the main strip of bars and restaurants.
Other guests were very friendly. The A/C in the room worked great. Complementary snacks and drinks were available in the fridge including much appreciated bottles of water. We unplugged the fridge overnight to make the room silent.

We enjoyed an early check in and visit with Brian, Quick witted manager across the street. Meeting other guests by the pool was great. Walking to shopping and dining was good exercise. Nettie, housekeeping was accommodating.
The only drag was the spa was down for maintenance. The room was very clean and comfortable and stocked with a few snacks and drinks and coffee pods.
We had a great time!

Parking and checking-in easy. Located in a quiet neighborhood. We stayed in a room #11 the only one that didn’t face the pool, but the back alley next to trash cans. Bed matress and pillows were okay not great. Vertical blinds didn’t work properly when we’re trying to open them up, just started falling down and the pole was attached to the railing with a tape.carpet needs to be replaced-it’s very old and not very clean. The bathroom also needs upgrades.please see attached picture. But when we called to report slow drainage in the sink it was addressed quickly. Hopefully other rooms are better maintained than ours.

Retro Experience
Palm Springs is always a relaxing and fun time. We opted not to stay in a traditional hotel. This quaint bungalow style hotel had about 15 one story rooms surrounding a beautiful and clean poo with a magnificent mountain back drop. It's like being back in time! The room we had was incredibly spacious and extremely clean. It's still an older place but very well kept. There were even snacks and drinks for us upon our arrival, nice touch! Just so you know, there were no staff to great us or check in but rather the hotel efficiently communicated with us through a live person text that would respond back to you. We truly enjoyed our stay and would come back!

Beautiful spot up against the mountains, surrounded by Palm trees. Sounds of the birds were delightful. So many Hummingbirds early in the morning.
Extremely clean, comfortable efficiency room.
Easy access to the sites.
Gondola ride and Architectural tour were highlights.

Nice quiet place with good swimming pool . However the hot tub was not operational and we had not been informed about this beforehand, which was extremely disappointing . The bathooms are very dated, which was also disappointing . It would be better if there was front desk to assist customers, rather tham doing it all by email.

Wir waren zum zweiten Mal im Desert Hill. Nachdem wir viele andere mid-century Hotels ausprobiert haben sind wir uns sicher, das Desert Hill ist das beste.
Kurze Wege in die Hauptstraße, zahlreiche Restaurants herum, super ruhige Lage und ein toller Pool und Blick auf die Berge. Zimmer 10 ist unser Lieblingsfach. Parken ist umsonst. Wir kommen wieder!

Great stay at this peaceful property located within a ten minute walk of the heart of Palm Springs. The vintage rooms may not be for all, but #2 was clean, spacious and true to the mid-century modern aesthetics so common to the area.

Relic from the 50's, with pros and cons.
The property is a 1956 relic, which has pros and cons.
Pros: Charming. Stylish details from a bygone era. Great location. Great customer service via text message. La Croix in the fridge.
Cons: While clean, it smells a bit dank from age. The bathroom has no fan. The sink is about 36 inches high. The fold-out ironing board may be the original. The walls are decorated with vaguely racist vintage magazine cutouts depicting native Hawaiians. The bed is uncomfortable. The AC blows on the bed.
Just be aware of what you're getting. This is not modern construction styled to look like 50's. It's 1956 construction, with a lot of the original 1956 stuff.

Love this place but a bit disappointed
We have stayed at this classic, small hotel in the tennis club neighborhood for over 10 years, at least once a year. We love its mid-century feel and the quiet location so convenient to downtown (easy 5 block walk). It has been sold recently (2 yrs ago?) and I feel that it needs some TLC. The jacuzzi isn't working, there are no free bikes anymore, the bathrooms especially need remodeling and the breakfast goods in the communal kitchen are no longer, although there were some nice goodies and fizzy water in our room to enjoy along with a Keurig coffee maker and good Peets coffee. We would still stay here but I hope that the new owners invest some more time in the upkeep.

We absolutely loved our stay at Desert Hills! Our room was super spacious, clean and the air con was quiet (a small detail but a rare thing). Some say the room is dated we loved the style and was what we were looking for in a Palms Spring hotel! A short walk to the restaurants/shops etc. Would really recommend to anyone looking for a quiet hotel but still close to the action!

Private paradise within easy reach of downtown
Gorgeous location, rooms clean and well-maintained, lovely chilled and a private, exclusive vibe to the place - in the right way, though. Check in and out was smooth and they accommodated my later arrival with zero fuss.
Verified traveler
Not great.
This place needs an investment in maintanence…peeling paint in the bathroom, broken blinds, etc. The contactless system had varied responses and most were confused who were entering as we sat by the pool. Would not stay here again.
Cassandra
We only had time for one night in Palm Springs, what a shame! Desert Hills was quaint and well maintained with a great pool to cool off in with the sudden upswing in heat during our week in the desert. Staff were very friendly and courteous and the amenities such as BBQs and complimentary parking made for a great stay. We will look to re-book whenever we can return!
Paul
Classic, mid-century Palm Springs property. Best place for quiet, while being a short walk to Downtown. Management and service = outstanding and attentive.
Jason
This property is tucked right up against the mountains behind Palm Springs just across the street from Palm Springs Tennis Club. It has a very nice old school Palm Springs feel. We walked to the Palm Springs Art Museum and did a loop hike from the parking lot up the mountain and over to Ramon Rd and back to Desert Hills then relaxed by the pool. Very very relaxing stay.

Mini Getaway
Loved my stay at Desert Hills! Everything was perfect, the room was clean, bed was comfortable and the pool was perfect. We booked the Vintage Kitchenette, it had everything we needed and more. On one of the nights we decided to cook. The hotel had bbq grills for us to use. All the extra amenities were great. Favorite part was how quiet this place was and very private. Night swimming in the pool was relaxing. Location is walking distance to Downtown Palm Springs. I’m definitely staying here again and telling all my friends. Perfect Couple Getaway!!!
