Holiday Inn Express Hotels in Palm Desert

To be honest this resort wasn’t our first choice for a girls trip - but I found us a great deal and it had decent reviews. We arrived late at night and were impressed by the spacious entry way. Check-in was quick and easy - although the front desk clerk was perhaps not the most friendly. I asked if he had any tips for us - it was our first time to the area and he said, “umm Palm Springs is about 30 min away”. Yep we just flew in so that’s one thing we did know We had the choice between the main building and outer building. I didn’t know what that meant so I went with main and I’m glad we did. We were in the 6th floor, not far from an elevator which was handy for the Oasis pool area Breakfast in the morning at Rockwood was fantastic. Between the group we tried the American breakfast and Wet Burrito on the first day and it was ll fantastic. The rest of the trip we opted for the buffet. At $32 a person including beverages it was a great deal. The buffet included fruits, bagels and breads, smoked salmon and meats, breakfast potatoes, bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy, sausage, waffles and an omelet station. On the weekend they had a crepe station. The pastry selections were fantastic and delicious. There were 3 pools in the Oasis pool area- a lap pool, larger pool and “upper deck”. The upper deck is just a smaller pool that seemed to be more of an overflow area - would have made sense to be an adults only pool but wasn’t. There were some VIP chairs but for $75 were completely unnecessary on our trip. We had no problem finding pool chairs near the pool and under umbrellas . Water stations around the pool were a nice touch The first day we had one pool server who was amazing and went above and beyond. Think his name was Connor. The next day we had a server that gave us a sign to raise when we wanted help…they sold pool floaties and I asked if we purchased one did the pool in gate them for us…most resort pools do…. She was offended I implied she might blow up the floaty and said we could do it ourselves or try to get a pool boy to do it but she brought the drinks. Ummm. Definitely didn’t expect our server to inflate a floaty - sorry I asked Pool drinks were great. Skip the nachos but the quesadilla was great and only $13 The lobby shop was inflated more than I expected but had a great selection of things you may have forgotten at home - also had pool floaties for $13 compared to $18-25 at the pool. The resort had a lot of fun things to do that we didn’t have time for - mini golf, outside lawn games and boat rides. The hotel bar looked fun and was centrally located Overall a very good stay - exceeded our expectations and I think we’ll be back! Definitely get the breakfast!

The environment is great! The outside of the house is full of golf courses. The large area is full of Marriott. There are various room types, villas, townhouses, hotels. Originally, I wanted to make a two-bedroom villa. The order was not paid successfully. I changed the single room and the room was large. The sofa bed and balcony, the house is just fine, the blanket in the cupboard is a bit thin. Another 10 o'clock check out is a bit uncomfortable! Such a good environment, I had to turn around after checking out! Remind compatriots: Old American rooms are generally equipped with kitchen heating equipment, go out and prepare a light meal outside, ready to go!

It’s a very beautiful resort. The room was enough room for a family. We had full kitchen to prepare meals for the kids. The patio opened to a nice pond snd golf course. The pools were kept clean and there were plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas for the guests. We had a great time. 😎👍

Maybe more like a 3.5. First, if you’re looking for clean and comfortable this works. Bed was very comfortable and rooms seem pretty updated. Lots of outlets, including USB, for charging. Staff was nice and helpful. Disappointing: I know food service is limited with COVID, but it is not clear on their website. There is no food here besides the little snack closet thing. Several options nearby including an Applebee’s in the same parking lot if you have low standards. The walls are pretty thin. The stomping above us was pretty loud and we could hear conversations from people in other rooms and on their balconies with our door closed. And the annoying thing is that, when you first enter your room, the TV is on and set to the hotel station. This is whatever, but if you’re next to a room that is vacant, you can hear the music looping every 10 seconds because they leave the TV on super loud. It’s a mild kind of torture.

OMG - this hotel is amazing! We went for my mom’s 83rd and while we stay here twice a year, this experience was phenomenal thanks to Devon. Not only did she and Michael give me the perfect room, she gave my parents their dream room! This is the best hotel with a boutique feel and all the wants and needs you have. The pool bar staff is phenomenal- tysm Trent and Neil and to the lovely young ladies making coffee every morning- you rock too. The cleaning staff and maintenance staff is off the charts- hurry up and book now- you sooo won’t be disappointed.

Very good, the hotel facilities are very complete, washing machine, dishwasher, induction cooker and other appliances needed in daily life are basically there. There are four swimming pools and it is very comfortable.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fresh and hot each morning. Clean and spacious bedrooms. Kids enjoyed the pool time which was complimented by the not to hot weather. Nice location not far from local stores. Walmart, Costco and restaurants just couple miles away which made it quick fast to grab a bite to eat and get to relaxing.

Very tired property that needs total renovation. Avoid it and use new Courtyard Marriott next to it. Carpet stained, drapes torn, poor quality bedding and linens. Cheap plastic shower stall. Motel 6 ambiance at Marriott price. Only bright spot was a cheerful staff at the checkin.
