Authentic William F. Cody architecture (it's a landmark, not a replica)
Strict 21+ adults-only policy ensures a grown-up vibe
Heated saltwater pool that serves as the hotel's social living room
Brzi pregled: A charming time capsule that trades modern soundproofing and plush luxury for undeniable retro style and social energy.
Pregledano od @katswanderlove: Honestly, if you're traveling with a senior pup or just need to chill, this place is it. Having a full fridge for dog food was a game changer, and lounging by the pool while pregnant felt like heaven. Plus, we walked everywhere for dinner!
Što su rekli gosti koji su boravili ovdje
The hype
Travelers love the retro aesthetic and walkable location, but often wish the rooms felt a bit fresher.
Reality check
The 'continental breakfast' is very basic (pastries/fruit) and the bathrooms show their age with rusty fixtures or weary grout.
You are a design nerd who appreciates original mid-century modern architecture
You want to walk to downtown Palm Springs (1 block away)
You prefer a social, communal pool scene over a private, secluded retreat
Čistoća i održavanje
7.8
Housekeeping: Daily service is generally reliable, though some guests report missed dust in corners or under retro furniture.
Bathroom hygiene: Clean but aged. Expect some rust on original fixtures and worn grout lines rather than sparkling modern sterility.
Maintenance: The biggest weak point. Peeling paint, shaky AC units, and stiff sliding doors are common complaints due to the building's age.
Linens & towels: Decent quality, but occasional reports of wear. Not luxury 800-thread count, but functional.
Odors & scents: Generally fresh, though some rooms can have a faint 'old building' mustiness that clears with the AC.

5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što dođete
💡The 'kitchenettes' in some rooms are very vintage—think 1950s original cabinetry, which is cool but clunky.
💡The U-shape design acts as an amphitheater; if someone is on their phone at the pool, you are listening to the call too.
💡The 'mountain view' rooms sometimes just mean you can see the mountain *over* the roof of the building next door.
💡There is no lobby to hang out in; the pool area is the only common space.
💡The air conditioning units can be loud and aggressive, a common trait in older desert buildings.
