My brother and I took a much needed mid winter break to Palm Springs this week and stayed here under recommendation from mutual friends. It couldn't have been a more fabulous time! Our first day it rained a bit but we took the tandem bike for a quick spin and swam in the lovely heated pool anyway. Hey we are... More

This is one of the very best vacation hotels that we have stayed in. Most importantly, our hosts Larry and Patty are genuine and caring. From the time you arrive and until you depart, they extend themselves to make your stay a delightful experience. Their free limosine pick-up and the rides to various Palm Springs locations are great. Expert directions... More

Wow! What a wonderful place. Peaceful (thanks to no small children allowed), relaxing, very nice rooms, a great dvd library and beautiful gardens, are just a few ways to describe this hotel. Larry and Patty are exceptional hosts, giving me a tour of their recently opened sister property, The Hotel California, just down the street. It's a 180 degree difference... More

I can't think of too many hotels as comfortable and wonderful as the Desert Riviera. There isn't a thing you could want...comfortable beds, a basket of snacks in the room, even bicycles outside for us to ride. I could easily see myself settling in for a week and not moving. We have stayed in quite fancy hotels everywhere and this... More

Note: This place is not for small children and young families, not for the rambunctious partiers and not for pet lovers (they have a strict no-pet policy). For some that might be a disappointment, but for those who would like to avoid such things while relaxing in the most friendly atmosphere imaginable, it is fantastic! This was our second trip...

The owner of this hotel could not possibly be nicer, nor try harder. She provides all sorts of little free treats, like glasses of wine, coffee and small snacks. She stocks copies of menus from many local restaurants, has bikes you can borrow, etc. On the other hand . . . the rooms are really outdated, the shower pressure was... More

Peaceful, tranquil, oasis. I was only there for one night so didn't have a chance to make full use but it was quite amazing. Wish I could of stayed longer, More

the hosts at Desert Riveria in Palm Springs are the absolute greatest! the rooms and pool area are exactly what Palm Springs is all about and so close to the old Palm Springs Village you can walk or ride a bike there. don't change a thing. More

The Desert Riviera is a very nice property, very well maintained with extra touches at a very affordable price point ($150-$200) per night. The common areas in particular are very inviting, the pool, the firepit, free coffee every morning. Lovely landscaping, complete with resident hummingbirds. We enjoyed our stay very much, including figuring out all the connections between everyone involved... More
