This is the hardest review I have ever written...EVER! After reading all the fabulous reviews about this hotel, we chose to stay here on our visit to Palm Springs. Because the owners and staff at the Desert Riviera are the nicest people, I wish I could write a glowing review. Unfortunately, I can't. RESERVATIONS: I made it via several emails... more

What else can I say? We arrived, and before we could even get registered, Larry made sure we each had a drink. We immediately knew that we had made the right choice. This is the place to go if you want to be treated like a long lost friend, be surrounded by lots of other lovely people, and have the... more

Everything everyone has said about the Desert Riviera is true. We have travelled all over the world and have never been greeted and treated so graciously and with such warmth. The facilities have a lovely homey feel and we will definitely be back first chance we get. more

This truly is a remarkable little hotel where you feel more like a house guest than a paying customer. It truly is a classy operation - free telephone, internet, snacks and drinks. Larry and Patty, Judy... more

It’s all true. They are Number One. Their secret ingredients are the resident owners and family who want their guests to have a superior experience at their hotel... more

My wife and I went to Las Vegas on a 4-night trip to get some sun. (It's been cloudy / raining at home for a month and a half). Arrived at Las Vegas to worse weather than in North Dakota? What to do? Look online for weather forecasts and what do you know? Palm Springs is nice. Call Larry, book... more

Everything at this resort is great. Service is second to none (Patti, Larry and family were more than helpful from start to finish offering great restaurant recommendations, driving directions, complimentary drinks and just a nice chat every now and then). Room was immaculate and large (we stayed in room 10). Resort is very trendy but not pretencious. Location and value... more

We stayed in Room #9 - this is just beautiful (as they all are) This one has a king size bed and kitchen - the pool area is lovely and there is a bar-b-que available. Perfect location - you can walk downtown. Wonderful hosts, Larry, Judy, Steve and Patty. 50's motif - we were there last year and are very... more
