After reviewing from fellow Trip Advisors, we gave this quaint desert oasis a try the 3,4,5th of October and it is "All That". From the check in to the priority mailing of my left behind article the customer service was great. My better half has a house cleaning biz and she even commented on the cleanliness. We wanted a retro... more

We read the amazing reviews on trip advisor for this hotel, and decided to book. To say the very least we were not disappointed! Quite simply this hotel is terrific. The rooms are spacious, and with great facilities.The pool is lovely and incredibly looked after. However what truly makes it very special is the fantastic hospitality that you receive from... more

As all the previous reviews have said,the Desert Riviera is just the most magical little place. The welcome is warm and friendly,as is the service.The room is clean and comfortable. To me the whole of Palm Springs was like a step back in time,so many 50's hotels,no high rises,just a gentle place. Judy booked restaurants for us,and nothing was too... more

At the end of July we stayed a week in the Desert Riviera and we really enjoyed it. When we arrived at 10.30 pm, after sitting almost 20 hours in a plane, we were friendly welcomed by Larry, who brought us a fresh beer and some wine. In the fridge we could find fresh drinks too (for free). Our room... more

Booked it after reading recommendations on Trip Advisor. Can't book online so rang and Larry was really helpful, friendly etc so felt confident this would be a good choice. Didn't get to meet Larry as on holiday himself however Judy gave us a very warm welcome (cold drinks offered). No dining on site but Judy more than happy to make... more

This is the second time my wife and I have stayed at the desert riviera. We have struggled with our conscience about writing a glowing reveiw because we want to keep it to ourselves. It is that good. However, we owe it to our hosts, Larry,Patti and Judy to tell the world this is a little gem of a hotel.... more

One of the best things about the Desert Riviera Hotel is Larry. This guy really loves his hotel and he will do all he can to make sure you enjoy your stay. He provides free bicycles that you can ride (with locks), a good (free) selection of books and DVDs, a barbeque you can use (for free), free coffee around... more

Just like other reviews have stated, after reading all of the good reviews I was hoping that everything that I read would be true. My first experience was a couple of months ago when I called the hotel directly to book a room. I spoke with Larry and he was incredibly helpful. We stayed at the property September 17 -... more

Basically, this hotel is merely 10 rooms around a pool. But, oh, it is so much more!! From the moment that Larry met us (with the offer of a cold drink and a really warm welcome) we knew that we had found an idyll in the midst of a very hot Palm Springs. Our poolside room was really comfortable with... more
