J. W. Marriott's Desert Springs Resort and Spa

Fodor's Review:

This sprawling convention-oriented hotel set on 450 landscaped acres has a dramatic U-shape design. The building wraps around the desert's largest private lake, into which an indoor, stair-stepped waterfall flows. Rooms in the main building wrap around the lobby; some have lake or Santa Rosa Mountains views, balconies, and oversize bathrooms. It's a long walk from the lobby to the rooms; if you're driving, you might want to request a room close to the parking lot. Pros: Gondola rides to restaurants, caters to families, business services. Cons: Crowded in season, rooms and facilities are spread out.
