If you want a get away to Palm Springs and do not care about golf or tennis, you must consider the Hotel Zoso. It is just minutes from the Palm Springs airport and is situated a block from all the great shops, theaters and night life. The staff are very friendly and professional - the rooms are clean, great beds (and showers) and TV's and awesome views of the mountains surrounding Palm Springs. Although the outdoor pool is not extremely large, it offers an outdoor bar, hot tub and a fire pit which is great at night. Private cabanas can be rented from the front desk is you desire. The hotel is also just 2 blocks from Palm Springs only downtown casino. The casino action is Vegas style and has a fantastic steak house. Hotel Zoso offers a great breakfast menu too. The breakfast is not complimentary but is 50% off for guests - well worth the price!! So, if you just want to take in the glamourous and beautiful city of Palm Springs and perhaps hang at the pool and/or gamble a little, you must consider the Hotel Zoso - had a great three day weekend and will return to the same hotel next time we visit.

Wow. . .I just returned from a trip to Palms Springs with girlfriends and wanted to comment on what a fabulous place Hotel Zoso was. . .the room and bathroom were extremely large, and all rooms had balconies. We enjoyed the beautiful pool and jacuzzi and the food at the hotel was awesome. The hotel is located in the downtown area of Palm Springs and is in walking distance of a ton of restaurants, shops and even gambling casinos. I have never seen such happy, nice, accomodating and competent hotel staff members. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Feel that this hotel needs to try a little harder!
Furnishings in our room were showing their age and could use a good cleaning, cushions on the pool furniture were stained and gross. The entire place has a feeling of being tired and we found it to be slightly depressing. I do have to say that the breakfast was delicious and the dining staff was great.

I visited Palm Springs for the first time this past weekend with my partner. A friend recommended that we stay at Zoso, and we were very glad we did. We took our pup along with us as Hotel Zoso is pet friendly with a $50 pet fee per stay. It was great to be able to have the little guy there with us! The location of the hotel absolutely couldn't be better. You can walk to pretty much all of the shops and restaurants in downtown Palm Springs. The rooms are nicely updated with modern decor, and the bed was super comfy. There were definitely noticeable signs of wear and tear on some of the furniture and decor (large painting on the wall in our room had a large puncture tear in it), but overall we were satisfied.
Harold, the bartender at the bar in the lobby was great, and offered advice on places to see and dine. The bar has a great happy hour to kick start your evening as well.
If you don't feel like paying $15 per night to valet, there is free street parking behind the hotel, when available.
We ordered room service for breakfast one morning, which was pretty good but nothing spectacular and not really worth what we paid for it. Apparently, if you go downstairs to dine for breakfast there is a discount for guests, which I would say would be a better option!
Overall, we had a really good experience here and would absolutely stay here again. If nothing else, the convenience of the location makes up for any shortcomings!
