The staff was very warm and welcoming. Room was comfortable. Mineral pools were amazing! Impressed that the buffet breakfast included decent hot food as well as the usual range of cereals and fruits. Very relaxing stay.
The staff were easy to talk too, the room was super clean, the mineral hot tub felt amazing!!! There were almost no guests there, it felt like a little slice of heaven.
The whole stay was good! The breakfast was only bagels, toast(wheat or cinnamon raisin bread), raisin bran or Cheerios cereal, Melon, or greek yogurt.
The room was spacious and clean. Small hotel but cozy. Staff was friendly and very helpful.
Solid comfortable stay, short distance to Palm Springs.
