What a great hotel! Staff was awesome! Nice comfortable room-had 1st floor king room and you can actually walk to the pool from patio door. No wall to climb over, just open the door, walk about 30 feet and jump in the pool-that was a plus! The location is great and 2 minute walks to the spa casino and shopping and dining on palm canyon blvd. Just park your car when you get here,because everything is walking distance. I'll be back!

I've stayed several times here in the last couple years. Renovations are complete now and the hotel is great. I had a "Presidential Suite", there are many of these in the hotel. The shower is enormous in size!! 4 large shower heads from the ceiling and two from the wall, with the colorful glass till surround you feel like you are in a rain forest waterfall. Two hi-def TVs, a large balcony with very nice patio furniture. The standard rooms are nice and large but do not have the huge bathrooms and hi-styled design as the Presidential Suites.

Pros: Location, walk to main shopping and dining areas in dowtown Palm Springs; rooms are large and with private patio or balconies; amazing views of San Jacinto mountains; service is outstanding; hi-speed worked very well;

Cons: The hallways are a bit drab with unflattering art, feels like a chamber. Very much in contrast to the bright rooms. Though the rooms are new, some of the lighting wasn't well planned (in the Presidiential Suites). The standard rooms don't seem to have the same hi-tech design style issues as the Suites (lighting that is in dire need of dimmer controls, enormous and modern bathrooms). There were several small maintenance issues, none enough to call in to the desk (but would think someone on staff would have caught it).

Tips: Ask for a room facing the courtyard/pool (others face the street and lots). In addition, the best views are the pool AND mountain facing rooms, highly recomended to request this! The wooden blinds in some rooms don't block light well, ask for one of the Suites which have sheers and black-out drapes. Take advantage of the "Resort Value Pack", it's reasonable in price and includes a lot (like free Internet, parking, calls, gym access, more).

This Hilton is a very respectable establishment, but it certainly is not a stylish or exciting place to stay. It's an older property, a three-story donut-shaped complex with a large pool in the center. It's older, though not historic, but very well kept and clean. The staff is professional and friendly.

The rooms are pretty average, not small or large, with traditional decor and older amenities (27" tube TV). Once again, clean but not interesting or stylish. This may be boring for some.

The crowd seems older and sedate, but families seem to enjoy the large pool and the two spas. Food at the restaurant is pretty average. You are better off walking to Palm Canyon Blvd or the Spa Casino, which are both conveniently within a couple of blocks.

Called the hotel night before and was able to book a room. The whole experience was wonderful. From the minute we booked the room to the minute we left the hotel. The reception was wonderful, the rooms were very clean and the pool was great. Very family oriented. Have already recommended this hotel and will definitely stay here again very soon.
