This place felt like home from the minute we walked through the gate. That is if your home is a beautiful desert paradise where you want for nothing and deal with the friendliest, most helpful people you will ever meet! We're back in New Jersey now, but our memories of the Desert Riviera still make us smile. more

When planning our 2 week trip around California, Palm Springs cropped up almost as an after-thought. Using Trip Advisor we discovered the Desert Riviera Hotel which at that time was rated #1 in Palm Springs and decided to book for just 2 nights. Our experience with the hotel began before we even arrived when I happened to check my email... more

From the moment we stepped into the lobby of the Desert Riviera, we knew that this trip was going to be one we would remember forever. Welcomed by the delightful Judy, we were led through all the wonders the motel had to offer its guests. Later in talking among ourselves, we decided the owners brainstormed a list of all the... more

This is maybe the best hotel I've ever stayed at, valuewise. Don't be fooled by the low price or the homey atmosphere, this is luxury.

My internal pessimist wondered if the reviews were somehow rigged, as it is extremely rare to see so many people SO pleased/excited about... more

Best deal in the desert. The staff treat you like family. The rooms are spotless and tastefully done. The pool, grounds, and view of the mountains are great. What more can I say? more

I took my Girlfriend to Palm Springs for her birthday as a surprise. I had booked us at the Desert Riviera Hotel after reading all of the wonderful reviews on Trip Advisor, and let me just say our experience even surpassed our expectations. Our hosts Larry, Patty and Judy were very attentive to all of our needs down to the... more
