Best Hotels near Mountain Pottery, Idyllwild

The hotel is located in the centre of the city centre, just 5 minutes from the Walk of the star, animated location until evening. The hotel style ”Spanish”. The blame ....the heat but we are in Palm Springs. The room seemed to me a smaller hair than the other BW I've ever experienced...but good..full center and non-prohibitive prices.

My Aunt and I decided to go for a girls weekend and we had a phenomenal time! Gordie, the absolute best concierge in the world, made our trip so magical. I would go back, if only to see Gordie. He met us with such hospitality, kindness and warmth. I can not explain how this wonderful man has enriched my and my Aunt's life. He made reservations for us at the best and most exclusive restaurants and speakeasies. He also helped my aunt through a tough time and emotionally supported our journey. He truly cares for his customers and makes time for each and every person that comes to his booth. He introduced us to the amazing bartenders and staff, who took excellent care of us and made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. I LOVE THIS PLACE. Gordie made this a once in a lifetime trip, one that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I wish everyone could have a Gordie in their lives!

Cute adults only mid century hotel in a great location. Guests receive a welcome drink and there’s a free breakfast which is only muffins and yogurt. You check in at the sister hotel next door. Love the salt water pool with misters around the pool patio. You can also use the pool, restaurant and bar at the hotel next door

Newly remodeled location close to town. Ample parking. The walls are a bit thin and you will hear some noise within the hotel. Nowhere to set your suit except on the ground. In room coffee maker and mini fridge. Our stay started off on a slightly bad note as we did not receive an email from the hotel with our room number or the code to enter. Upon arrival which was around 3 to 4 in the afternoon I had to ring the buzzer at the front door as the facility is not staffed. The innkeeper was quite unhappy that as he stated multiple times “it would take him at least 5 minutes to arrive”. He kept insisting I should go through my emails and find the code I was sent. I found a code Trip. Com sent me but that apparently was not the hotel entry code and did not have my room number. Frustrating way to start our relaxing weekend.

The location is very good, and the conditions are stronger than the average motel. Clean and hygienic, warm. Can't fault it, and you don't need a bike at this price point. Hope to come again in the future

First off, I must mention that pictures of this place on many booking engines, etc are out of date as it seems all rooms have been renovated. Our One Bedroom unit was immaculate, definitely renovated in the recent past and everything was neat and clean; matching the unit pictures on their own website. We had a nice patio with table/chairs, lounge chairs, grill, and a gorgeous view of the mountains. The resort grounds are also beautiful and well maintained. The property itself is nice, quiet, and laid back. We barely saw a few others during our stay and had the pools and hot tubs to ourselves any time we ventured over to them. The location was perfect for us with plenty within close range and right off of Palm Canyon drive for easy access anywhere. The office staff were all very friendly and they were extremely helpful during check-in. Overall we'd highly recommend this place and would definitely choose to stay here again in the future if we return to Palm Springs.

I think I might be a little generous with a four star rating. However this is the first time travelling to Palm Springs so I have nothing else to judge it by. We set up our reservations via AirBnB. When we arrived we were told we needed to pay a $40 daily ”resort fee” that clearly was not reflected in the listing. The man at the reception desk advised he would need to check with his central booking. Long story short it took more than two hours for him to do so. we actually went and had lunch and he still did not have an answer for us. Meanwhile we still dd not have a room. When we finally did get get word that they would waive the fee, we still waited another hour to get our secret room code. It was just after the 4:00 check in time. Our room was a two bedroom corner suite with a full kitchen. Property appears to be either new or newly refurbished. Not sure if the stove or pots and pans were ever used before us. Yes, they give you ONE cup of free coffee to be used in the pour over coffee system. Otherwise the cost is $15 for a ten (?) ounce bag. Fridge was stocked with beer, wine soda, etc all for a fee. We pushed all the stuff to one side of the fridge and went to the grocery store (a block away) and filled it with our own (grocery store also carries beer & wine). Room was very comfortable. Great beds, nice shower/bathroom Wrap around balcony had a rope swing/seat along with chairs and a table. Unfortunately ours overlooked two vacant lots. No storage for clothes other than a basket full of hangers and a couple steel bars to hag stuff on. Other than a couple scatter rugs the floors are cold concrete. Definitely hear people walking above you so would suggest top floor if possible. Pool was nice but was not available for an early morning swim. Also had to pay for the use of cabanas. Never did see anybody using one. Did not eat in the restaurant but did utilize the bar. Personally not a fan of tequila or mescal but they evidently specialized in it. We did not pay to park nor did we see any parking attendants for valet service. In fact the 'front desk' (outside kiosk) was rarely attended. Definity a great location as far as being close walking distance to shops and restaurants. They do offer complimentary use of bicycles, that we did not use.

I am taking the time to write this review because we were hesitant about our stay given the negative ones below. We had THE BEST time at the Ace. The mid-week vibes were great, super low key guests. Great pool time. What stood out was the food. We ate breakfast and lunch every day and loved everything we had. I can't recommend the Ace enough and I can't wait to come back next winter.

4 of us rented two rooms with two queen beds for three nights. Unfortunately the rooms have not been updated or maintained so you're dealing with rattling windows that don't close all the way, caulk coming off of the tub, poor ventilation in the bathroom, only one drawer to try and share, worn carpet, and one small nightstand to share. There is also significant air in the pipes so when you turn on the water at the one small sink the air causes the water to shoot all over the very small countertop. For a room with two queen beds the bathroom is very small and there is no storage. Also; the sink didn't drain well. The main pool area is crowded because they don't have the bar open at the other pool that's available. Also, the hot tub is filled with children 95% of the time which doesn't allow adults to enjoy it. On Friday evening we dropped in at the lobby bar to have a nightcap. The bar was short staffed and the bartender was in an exasperated state so was quite rude. The only bright spot for our stay was the food quality from the JWB restaurant. The prices are ridiculous but at least the food was delicious. With fees and taxes we spent over $500 per night. I've stayed at much better maintained hotels for half that price. Will definitely stay elsewhere the next time we're in Palm Springs.
