“Great Find”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

A little gem! Free airport transfers, really nice staff, spacious and comfortable room. The pool is small, but was never crowded. Fitness center was very adequate. Walkable to almost everything: restaurants, bars, shopping.

Although I was informed (both when making reservation and checking in) about the resort fee, I witnessed another lady pitching a complete fit. At the time of my stay, it was $15 per night.

My only complaint is the hidden "service charge" tacked onto breakfast. They were having a 50% off breakfast special for hotel guests with a big sign advertising it. However, to make up for the lost revenue, they tacked on server gratuity. It is my own fault for not checking closely, but they should really disclose that since it's not standard in the U.S.

Room Tip: Deluxe rooms have a beautiful view of the mountains!

Dear Animals4friends,

Thanks so much for your kind comments!!

It is so great to hear that we took good care of you and you enjoyed your visit to Palm Springs and Hotel Zoso.

You are right, Zoso is a little gem centrally located with an energized staff and spacious and comfortable guest rooms.

We apologize for the inconvenience we caused you by the gratuity added to the check for breakfast but we found that many of our guests thought the tip was included and did not reward our staff for their excellent service for breakfast.

We added the gratuity (it is not a service charge as the hotel does not retain any of the gratuity it is passed along 100% to the staff) based on many comments from our guests who would rather have it included as a convenience.

We hope you enjoyed your meal as we believe our breakfast in Olivz is the best in Palm Springs and presents a great value as our registered guests receive a 50% discount!!!!

Thanks for allowing us the opportunity to serve you and we hope that you will afford us the pleasure of welcoming you back on your next visit.

Cheers!

“A good stay (but take note)”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

I was upgraded since they ran out of basic rooms, so that was nice. Take note: As other have said, there is a $15 PER NIGHT resort fee, and a tax on top of that. Also, you can park on the street behind the hotel (on Calle Encilla).

Dear QueenTraveler22,

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit and had the opportunity to get upgraded to deluxe accommodations.

You are correct, there is generally ample unattended parking on the East side of the property and we do offer covered and secured valet parking for a $15.00 nightly fee.

We believe that we offer a great value for guests who are visiting the Palm Springs area with attractive room rates, 50% off breakfast for our registered guests and a wonderful Happy Hour in our Lobby Bar daily.

We hope you will allow us the opportunity to serve you again soon.

Cheers

“Hotel Zoso is one of our favorite spots!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

I was very surprised to read that a few visitors did not enjoy an exceptional stay at Hotel Zoso.

I had my wedding reception at the Zoso in 2007, and granted it was a small/intimate affair, the facilities, staff, and overall experience made it feel like a grand event. My guests were very pleased and impressed with our venue selection and many said they would come back for a stay.

The location, smack in the middle of downtown Palm Springs is superb. The beautifully appointed rooms with up to date amenities rival most high end hotels in Vegas. The pool area is modern and very inviting and I just can't enough of the contemporary furnishings and art throughout the property.

During all of our stays we've been met by extremely friendly and very professional staff. Lisa, took care of all the details of my wedding reception like a true pro - granted she had been working with the Hotel for only a few short weeks.

Any time we have an opportunity to visit Palm Springs we stop by the Zoso - in fact we're headed there next week and are looking forward to having a great time.

Room Tip: Request a pool room. The view is fantastic!

“Just OK could have stayed at Comfort Inn...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

and be just as pleased. Just Average. It had nice amenities. We didn't stay long enough to use them so I could not rate them. It was a quiet resting place. The wi-fi didn't work, the key to the bar was lost, so no drinks. The dining food was edible and the service was ok in the dining area. The workers were not very enthusiastic at the front desk. There was no remote for the fan on our patio so we could not turn it off. They're reply was "oh well." This was just a so-so experience.

“Poor service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012 via mobile

people found this review helpful

I will never stay at this hotel again. First, upon arrival they could not find my reservation and made me wait a half an hour before they could figure it out and get my room. Then i find out their WiFi doesn't work after 4 phone calls to the front desk. The staff was of no help. They told me to come sit in the lobby and do my work. Mind you they charge a $15.00 service fee, but the Wifi does not work. I alfo tried to order room service but the girl seemed to busy to take my order and stated it would be at least 1 hour before I could get my order. Overall the rooms are spacious and the location is great, but due to poor service I will never stay at hotel zoso again.

Dear Jon 1820,

Let me apologize for our complete breakdown in service during your recent visit to Hotel Zoso.

It is very disconcerting to hear that one of of our valued guests has had a poor experience and frankly, we are embarrassed.

I greatly appreciate you bringing these problems to my attention. You have my promise that I will be meeting with our team to determine the origin of the problems and institute corrective action immediately.

Over the summer we had installed many upgrades to our wi-fi and there has been a demonstrable improvement in the service but it appears that there are areas of the property that do not receive the proper signal. We will identify the areas which are weak and proceed to make the proper enhancements.

With regard to your room service, there is no excuse. We simply did not respond in an acceptable manner and we are very sorry.

I know, based on your experience, we do not deserve your future business but I hope you will give us another chance.

I assure you that your next visit will be markedly improved.

We hope to deserve your continued patronage.
