Charming old Palm Springs
The building was older than I thought when we first arrived, but it has a charm about it that really grows on you! The staff was very attentive and the bed was the best ever! It was small and quiet also, all pluses. There were amenities in the room and there was nothing that we were missing. I would stay there again for a short stay.

Hotel California is a great, adults-only place to stay and relax in Palm Springs. Walking distance to Koffi and nearby restaurants but still quiet and not crowded. Easy parking, lovely kitchen / breakfast / snack area, beautiful pool and jacuzzi. Will definitely be back!
