I loved staying at Alpine Gardens. It was unique and charming, and Bill and Tom were friendly, low-key, welcoming hosts. But let me tell you that I don't think it would be right for everybody. Some folks need the anonymity and ... homogeneity, I guess, of large/chain hotels. Alpine Gardens is not the generic, corporate version of a 3- or 4-star hotel. You won't find traditional room-service, electronic keycards, or hotel-brand products. What you will find is an inn that has style and personality galore. It's a small, older, one-story motel that reminds me of the places I stayed with my parents when I was a kid, except that it's been stylishly updated with modest-sized, delightful, individually decorated rooms and such a pleasant courtyard/pool area, with comfy chairs and nice landscaping. And, of course, Kitty, who lends her feline grace and makes the place feel even more relaxing and homey. They have a stash of free paperbacks, free WiFi, and there was a cool bottle of white wine waiting in my room when I checked in. Tom and Bill were helpful and amiable hosts who struck the perfect balance of attentiveness. I had a delightful stay and will definitely stay there again.

Since 1998 my husband and I have been staying at this 'Gem' of a hotel in Palm springs called Alpine Gardens Hotel. The rooms, garden area and owners Tom and Bill always exceed our expectations. No other hotel in Palm Springs offers such a warm, safe and comforting environment. Last month was the first time I came to Palm springs on my own. I was astounded to see how beautiful the lawn and gardens remained despite the hot heat. Tom and Bill went out of their way to ensure my room's air conditioner was keeping me cool and the Breakfast Cart coffee and goodies were out for my early morning rises. We have met new friends from all over the world during our visits over the past 13 years. I will always concider Alpine Gardens as my home away from home!.... Colleen Kerr

We have being staying with Bill and Tom at the Alpine Gardens Hotel since 2007 usually twice a year. The hotel is like an oasis with its wonderful gardens and well kept surroundings, you are looked after from the moment you set foot on the property. Bill and Tom are both great hosts ,they are very thoughtful , welcoming and friendly. This visit we were a little jetlagged and they made coffee available for us from midnight onwards as we were awake at all hours.
You will also be offered icecream on a hot afternoon whilst relaxing around the pool.
We have recently returned from a nine day visit and we highly recommend the Hotel, the Hosts and all the nearby amenities and cannot wait to return again next Spring.

We stayed 2 nights at Alpine Gardens and had a really relaxing and nice stay. The owners Tom and Bill were fantastic - friendly and helpful. The rooms are charming and beautiful decorated - comfy beds, 4 fine pillows and there was a little fridge wich was nice. The pool is clean, good size and just outside your room. There is a Ralphs store nearby and you will have "member-card" from Tom and Bill so you can be shopping cheap. If you are looking for a place to stay in Palm Springs - choose Alpine Garden - this is Heaven!
