Super good value place with very nice amenities. A nice, basic stay.
A few issues:
- the internet is not good. If you're looking to book this place with the need to make video calls, I would skip. My friend and I worked remotely this week and had major issues with the internet and restarted the modem multiple times.
- while I appreciate the thought to try and save energy, the thermostat was locked at 74 and wouldn't go lower. The main living space was quite comfortable at this temp but the bedrooms were hot. We had trouble sleeping because of this. It wasn't even an option to go lower than 74 on the thermostat, which meant it was probably closer to 77 in the bedrooms (for whatever reason the AC just didn't reach the bedrooms as well). Not a huge deal but slightly uncomfortable when it's 110 outside.
- the gym was closed. I know this isn't controlled by the owner but it would be nice to know. If you're looking to use the gym I would contact the owner first. They didn't inform us it was closed and we were a bit disappointed.
- if you're looking to do most of your visit in Palm Springs, this location really isn't that great. We admittedly booked this last minute and so didn't think very hard about the commute to Palm Springs, but it's at least 15 minutes each way to most of the restaurants and attractions downtown and 30 min/day of that got a bit old. Also, if you don't have a car I would REALLY not recommend this place. Getting taxis or Ubers here seems like a nightmare with a gated entrance that is a significant distance from the unit.
Overall the check-in was nice and the apartment was clean and had great amenities. The pool is great! Probably wouldn't stay again for the reasons listed, but overall it was a positive experience for sure.
