Great expereience.

The room was excellent, and the staff met all of our expectations. We booked a corner studio suite with a pool and mountain view almost exactly as shown on the website. A car is definitely needed when staying here to get around as indicated in other reviews, but there are a number of things to do on-site. I noted negative comments about the shutters in the room, but our corner room had block-out shades facing the sunrise, so there were no issues. We were on east coast time, so up for the sunrise anyway. The staff took note of the foam pillow request for the room due to feather allergies which is a common miss, so I give good marks for this attention to detail. There was a little table in the room where we had our room service breakfast and other snacks during the stay which was a nice touch. The bathroom layout was very good, as well. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and our first visit to Palm Springs. We especially enjoyed watching the play of light across the mountain views from the balcony. Sitting by the fire pits as it cooled off in the evening or before it warmed up in the morning was also a nice experience. The staff at the spa were very friendly and helpful. My wife also enjoyed the raspberry mojito in the pool area. It was nice to enjoy warm sunshine by the pool before returning home to frost and snow in North Carolina.
Very disappointing for the price...Grand Hyatt & JW Marriott much better!

They couldn't check us in until 5:30pm, after it's completely dark this time of year. So much for wine on the balcony. We put our breakfast room service door hanger out, but no one ever bothered to pick it up. Their Thanksgiving buffet is really bad, especially for $100 per person. Lots of food, none of it good, and the dining room was lit as brightly as a hospital. It was the kind of buffet experience you expect for free in a cheap casino. The regular restaurant food is good, as were the valet staff members. But overall this place is woefully unworthy of their prices. In the same price range you can stay at the Omni, Westin or Grand Hyatt (we've stayed in all three) for similar prices and a WAY better experience.
