“Great place to stay, close to everything”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Dropped by the Visitors Centre as I was entering Palm Springs. They offered a number of accommodation specials, one of which was the Del Marcos. As I drove for a look-see, I noticed how close this place was to downtown and all amenities, so I checked in at the preferred rate as offered by the Visitors Centre (less than half price!). The whole place has a fifties feel about it (opened in 1947) with rooms centred around a very nice looking pool (85 degrees). Lots of loungers around so no fights for position A. Room was clean and comfortable with good air con and toiletries. Flooring was painted concrete (I think that’s what it was) but no big deal, although carpeting would have been my preferred option. There are bikes on the property to use at no cost, plus a complimentary light breakfast. The owners seem to have thought of everything. If you are looking for a place to stay in central Palm Springs, this is it. A world away from the Hilton’s and Marriotts of the world, and perhaps that’s what makes this place a little special. Would certainly stay here again if ever in Palm Springs.

Stayed February 2012, travelled solo

“Quiet hotel with a great pool, yet close to every thing.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012 via mobile

Great for a small group, or a romatic get away. The staff is friendly, and the continental breakfast is perfect way to start the day at the pool. The mountain and the palm trees are nice backdrop at the pool.

The weather the first week of Feb, was a warm and sunny contrast to the snow back in CO.

“First time at the Del Marcos Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

This was our first visit to Palm Springs. We chose this hotel from a newpaper article. We were somewhat apprehensive coming to a property sight unseen. Photos can sometimes be deceiving. Not so with this hotel. It has charm and was much better than we ever expected. The room was fantastic and very clean. The grounds and pool were well maintained. The staff, starting from Lisa and Laura, who checked us in, to Tim and Rico, the night personnel were so accomodating and knowledgable. They gave us tips on sightseeing, shopping, and dining. The location is perfect and it is a short one block walk to Palm Canyon Drive and the downtown area.

Room Tip: If you like a room with a sitting area, bedroom and private patio, the Chi Chi room will suit you.

“Casual, unpretentious”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012 via mobile

A delightful experience. The pool is refreshing, heated and a great centerpiece. The staff at the front desk was particularly accommodating getting us boarding passes, food and the like.
