We got there way later than the office hours and were given very easy instructions on where to find our keys to the room and car parking. The moment we arrived we were met with a staff member that was friendly and helped us check in even after the office was closed. They even gave us a map and showed us where the room was. The pools and rooms are clean and the AC worked perfectly. Only thing is we found 2 bed bugs on the bed the next morning but the hotel is so nice I brushed it off. Either way we would definitely stay here again.

Initially the check in process was easy and quick, they were very nice to me and the first red flag I got was when I got into the room and opened the fridge, there was moldy cheese in the fridge from the previous person. I let that go and ignored it and just threw it away. Everything went smoothly until the last day of the stay, I had decided to get another two days but I wanted a king bed instead so I got that one for the last two days. We checked out and the cleaning lady was right in front of the door so we left for a few hours and came back to check in. They left us in the same room, did not clean anything at all or make the bed, nor did they refill the toilet paper or the towels. What they DID do was come in and turn the TV off and turn up the thermostat to 80 degrees, mind you it’s 110 outside. I shared these thoughts with them and one person told me they do not do daily housekeeping and another told me they only do housekeeping after three nights.. I was there for four. I even gathered all my trash up and put it into trash bags to make it easier for housekeeping but no, they kept all the trash there and we had to sleep with it in the room for two more days because we didn’t know where a trash bin was. I’ve been to hundreds of hotels and I have never not had housekeeping clean the room after a checkout. The property itself is beautiful but the cleanliness is meh. Do not go during off season, the low price now makes sense.

Nice older property, well maintained. Great, clean pool. Room was spacious and had lots of towels, including pool towels, and a fridge/ microwave. Staff was so helpful and kind. It's deep summertime and I appreciate the fantastic room rate. There was little staff onsite and no need for it but it does feel a little isolated when you are almost the only folks at the location. But I enjoyed the peace and hope to come back in winter time.

Make it perfect if they had a restaurant or food available on property. I saw signs that they were renovating the restaurant. So hopefully soon. My 6 year old thought it was so fun.

Room was spacious and clean. Hardwood floors were good; bathroom fixtures were older but in good working condition. The layout with double wash basins separate from shower and bathroom made getting ready much easier with a group of 4. Loved the outside of the hotel rooms which were designed to look like a old western movie set. Laundry on site. Staff was friendly and helpful. Outdoor pool was the best part of my stay, clean and well maintained for a swim under the dark desert skies. Would stay here again.

Older property, but a clean room, mattress needs to be replaced. Friendly staff; was told to keep the AC at 74 or warmer due to old, poorly functioning equipment that could fail, and we would lose AC in the room. The gift shop & Market are small and overpriced, so make sure to bring what you need. The on-site restaurant & saloon is closed but still listed as an amenity.

I liked the open character. Appealing. I didn't use the amenities, which is why I rated that 3 out of 5. There should be an option for not applicable. The room was spacious - I liked that! The only reservation: the internet was consistently slow. That's not really an amenity - it's a necessity these days! Otherwise, everything was very fine, pointing out again the spacious room.

My son loves the burgers there and was disappointed. He always loved playing in the pool - couldn’t do that either. Nothing on their website stating anything was closed. No discount of any kind for the room. The room was actually more expensive than last year. I just felt bad seeing the disappointment on his face.

It was a nice hotel, I loved the theme and decor, larger rooms, clean. It had a pool being refinished and one of the restaurants was closed for remodeling as well. I wish they had stated the price for the dog. I think it is pricey though for what it is. It is located in Borrego Springs and because there are not many hotels, people seek that one most. It could also be that we caught it in a transition phase and they are upgrading a lot of things. As for what it is, at the moment I was there, $160-$180 would have been ideal.

I really enjoyed my stay at Palm Canyon. What really stood out was the staff. I was working remotely for most of my trip, but the WiFi was spotty in my area of the property. Sabrina offered up an employee house on the property that had its own router that I could use as a private workspace. It was a great solution, and really showed the staff’s dedication to making things work.

There were a few amenities that were not top notch, like the WiFi, the hotel pool was closed & the onsite restaurant was also closed. The latter two were disclosed before I arrived, and there was another pool that was open & there’s a food truck on site Wednesday - Sunday. The bar is also open & the bartender is very kind.

Again, the highlight of this place is really the staff & service they give. I would absolutely recommend staying here, and plan to do so again if I’m ever back that way.

So why the good review? I returned and 2 young professionals were at the desk. They welcomed me with smiles and enthusiasm. They informed me about everything going on at the resort and wanted me to join them that night for a “Stargazing” presentation at the resort’s amphitheater. This presentation was AMAZING by the way. They offered dinner recommendations as well. These employees saved the review. This is my place of choice when I visit the Anza Borrego desert. Never disappointed.

Maybe it's picky, but I would reommend they put an armchair in the (very spacious) room, since all that was there were two small metal dinette chairs. Also, some rooms had an outside sitting area, which ours didn't. Other than the RV pool (the main pool was closed) there wasn't any outside area to sit in the evening. But all in all, the room and resort were clean, convenient and reasonably priced. I would return if in the area again.

We enjoyed our stay but we were mostly out for hiking, exploring, dining. The hotel design is old time western and I think would be appreciated by kids. Painted wood and wood plank steps and 2nd floor walkway needs a re-do…some planks aren’t flat with others and pose a tripping risk, and are visibly old. The main pool and jacuzzi are closed for repairs, but the RV side for pool/jacuzzi were open. Didn’t try the pool but jacuzzi was pleasant and hot….but was not in great shape (rough to sit on and paint
chipping)but still enjoyable. It all depends on your expectations and budget. The room was very clean and we enjoyed the balcony. Towels were fluffy…not worn out. Keurig coffee was supplied. The mgmt is working on replacing mattresses but ours wasn’t one of the new ones. Quite hard and not comfortable. Request a new mattress room for comfort.

Marilyn at front desk was a gem😍. She was helpful with local info and hiking too. She made sure we knew what was available at hotel. She has great earrings! Ask her where she got them!!

A charming hotel that needs some TLC. Blinds broken, 1 pool closed, restaurant closed. Bar open 4 days a week, only open 9am to 6pm, though there is an after hours number to call, fairly responsive. No cleaning during your stay, and if you need towels, etc after 6 or before 9, you are out of luck. Noce room lay out, comfortable beds, generally clean though a plastic cup was left in our tub for some reason when we checked in. I would stay again, but fairly expensive for a middling hotel with a few problems. Staff that served us was excellent.
