“Near everything”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

This hotel is fairly old like most things in Palm Springs but the refit makes it still a pleasant place to stay. It's a bit annoying to pay resort charges for basic items and one of these was hotel wifi which didn't work while we were there,despite a call to the front desk who could not help. The outdoor fire pit is great to sit around and have a drink and this hotel is walking distance to all the local are galleries and restaurants. The hotel was well priced and the staff were friendly.

Room Tip: Ask for a pool room. The court yard overlooks a rather nice pool area.

Dear Mr. Patten,

Thanks so much for taking the time to convey your comments on your recent visit to Palm Springs and Hotel Zoso.

We greatly appreciate your kind comments on our friendly staff and the excellent value that Hotel Zoso provides for our guests.

The fire pit is awesome for a cocktail or glass of wine during our cool winter evenings and our location is the best for those looking to visit all the shops, restaurants and other activities which are just outside our front door.

I thank you for your constructive comments on the difficulty you experienced with the wireless in room 131 and I will follow up with Mike, our Chief Engineer, to determine what corrective measure need to be taken.

You are right, the poolside rooms are fantastic, especially with the great views of the San Jacinto mountains !

On your next visit, please try Palm Springs "Best Beakfast", in Olivz, where our registered guests receive a 50% discount!!!!!

We look forward to your return visit.


Cheers

“Nice Hotel, Convenient to Downtown”

Got a great rate for a one night stay here. Rooms are large in this 1970s era hotel. Property has been completely remodeled and is modern and contemporary. It's close to restaurants... all walkable. Pool and hot tub area is so-so, and the cabana rentals are $100 (ouch!).

“If you don't have fun- It's your own fault”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

Arriving to the property was like driving into the scene from Thunder Dome. Fantastic property with a very interesting outside.

Loved the Lobby and the staff was impressive in fulfilling the needs of the guests.

When the reservation was made it was known it was an anniversary stay. The Staff went out of their way to give us a nice room with a view of the pool terrace.

The smiles and courteous manners of all the staff make this a 5 Star property in my book.

The Decor is modern- meaning the 60's to now. Fabulous for someone who likes interesting pieces of art and non standard amenities.

The Restaurant was good also- Breakfast all 4 days were provided to us with smiles and generosity of portion size and value price.

THe "Guest Business Office" could use a bit of an upgrade but the machines in the gym were in working order.

"Resort Fees" are a bit bogus- but hey- everyone's doing it in California.

Dear kevinlydot,

Thanks so much for your kind and thoughtful comments on your recent visit to Hotel Zoso!

Our designer will be delighted to hear your comments on our lobby as we too think it has a great sense of arrival.

Of course, our staff, who we believe is the best in Palm Springs, goes out of there way to make our guests feel right at home.

Marcie, who leads our reservations team, is always very concerned about selecting a special room for "special occasions" and we are glad you enjoyed our fantastic pool view rooms. (great views of the San Jacinto mountains as well).

I am so glad you had the opportunity to avail yourselves of the "best breakfast in Palm Springs", in Olivz, where our registered guests enjoy a 50% discount!!!!

I also appreciate your constructive comments on our business center and will look at this area in detail to determine how we can improve the experience for our guests.

From the entire team at Zoso, we greatly appreciate your patronage and can't wait for your next visit.

Cheers

“GREAT HOTEL IN DOWNTOWM PALM SPRINGS CA.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

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.

Room Tip: Ask for a pool side room

Dear TomR,

We greatly appreciate you affording us the pleasure of serving you on your recent visit to Palm Springs and Hotel Zoso.

We are delighted that you had the opportunity to experience our fantastic location (everything you want to see and do in Palm Sprngs is just moments from our front door), charming and helpful staff, spotlessly clean rooms (I am glad you enjoyed the shower as we have just replaced every shower head in our guest rooms), and terrific mountain views.

As you noted, our pool is very cozy with a very intimate fire pit for our cool winter nights and with the casino directly next door to us you can enjoy the nightlife and excitement of casino gaming without having to drive to Las Vegas.

Our restaurant, Olivz, serves the best breakfast in Palm Springs and offers our registered guests a 50% discount. I am glad you enjoyed!!

We are so happy that you had the opportunity to take advantage of all the great things that Palm Springs has to offer.

We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

“Great Place to Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

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.

Room Tip: I stayed on the street side as opposed to the pool side. . .I think the balconies on the street side...
