Thanks to other Trip Advisor contributors for alerting us to this great property. It might not have occurred to me to look across the highway from Palm Springs in Desert Hot Springs to find a reasonably priced but comfortable lodging option, but the reveiws were so compelling we had to try the Lido Palms. Despite the 12-15 minute drive to the heart of Palm Springs (made a bit longer by construction projects at the end of last fall), this place is a winner. The manager clearly takes great pride in the property, and that pride is reflected in every detail. Pools are heated to exact temperatures (delightfully warm in even the largest and coolest pool) and monitored and maintained -- along with each of the rooms, the common areas, and the gardens. If you want two beds in one room, this is probably your best bet in the entire Coachella Valley, where, like other picturesque areas, all the hoteliers seem to assume that any two people who travel together want to sleep together. About half the rooms at the Lido Palms enjoy 2 queen beds (vs. one king in the others), but all are Tempurpedic and wonderfully comfortable, even for fussy sleepers. The rooms are huge with full kitchens and breakfast seating areas, and best of all, no room is farther than a few steps from those fabulous pools. The decor is more funky than flashy, but it's all wonderfully functional, comfortable, and clean
One of us was recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery, and found the Lido Palms to be just what the doctor ordered -- well, not really, but he would have ordered it if he'd known about it!

The Lido Palms is a refreshing alternative to the big corporate hotels that are so common these days. We stayed two days and luxuriated in the three pools that the resort offers. The rooms are clean, perfectly maintained and there is simply a relaxing feel to the place. This is a great place to stay if you are touring the Palm Springs area. A real gem. Honest.

Stayed here for 4 nights in November and loved it. The pools were perfect. The air was cool (50ish), the pools warm and the moon full. The room was bigger than my first apartment and the kitchen area a very welcome feature. Our host (Greg? Gary?) was helpful but unobtrusive - the perfect host. I hope to be back soon.

I have been coming and bringing groups to the lido palms for about 8 years. I rent the whole hotel and have found my experiences and treatment outstanding. The hotel is always spotlessly clean, the grounds have a beauty to them, the water is perfect and our hosts are always willing to adjust the water to our likes. I am made to feel it is my home and when i host retreats twice a year, the women's comments are always about how wonderful the place is.Beds are quite comfortable , the public areas are lovely. I have also been coming when i can with my husband and it is always a wonderful get away. I highly recommend the lido palms
