Desert Palms Hotel & Suites

Desert Palms Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"Breakfast is always good and the team working in the breakfast area is very friendly. Salsa is excellent. The rooms are nice and clean. Beds and pillows are comfortable. We stayed in a suite on the 5th floor and it was not as spacious as the other floors but it was still nice to have the extra space. It was just tucked into an odd corner. My son likes the pin trading at the front desk. Easy walk to the parks."
