Palm Springs Riviera Resort

Has anyone stayed at this resort? How many stars would you give it? Any details would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, T.

3.5 stars. Nice place but sometimes overrun with 20-something tennis players partying until all hours of the night.

Thanks for the heads up Clark, I think I'll request an area of the hotel that is quiet upon checking in.

Does anyone else have any more details about this hotel? It isn't even in the Fodor's "hotel review" section which troubles me...
We have a three night freebie to use and this is the only hotel that is offered in the PS area.
Thanks, T.

Hi Tiff.

It isn't a great hotel. I would put it closer to 2.75 - 3 stars. It isn't a bad place---it just shows its age a bit even though it has been redone a few times. It is also a little off the beaten path in North Palm Springs, i.e. not walking distance to downtown and all the restaurants, bars, shops etc.

If you were shelling out $$, I would say go elsewhere. But as a "freebie" it would be worth it.

Hi Tiff,
Did you ever stay here? I'm wondering about it, too, as it is offering a good rate for a convention I have to go to.

Hi Dina4 ~ We did stay there. It was a freebie.

The Good ~ The pool area is actually huge. It is nothing fancy with waterfalls or anything, but it was a huge pool, lots of chairs, enoughroom for all.

The Bad ~ There was not an elevator in the wing we stayed in, but if that is not troublesome to you, then it wouldn not be a big deal.

This hotel gave me a feel for what Plam Springs may have been like back in the Rat Pack era. It was very clean, but outdated, but it was fine for a couple days, and again a lovely pool area.

I think PS Local's review was very accurate.

Hope that helps, Tiff
