I had a great stay at Palm Mountain Resort & Spa, largely thanks to the exceptional service provided by Jane. She was an absolute delight - friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful during check-in. Not only did she assist us with getting settled, but she also shared great recommendations for places to visit in the area based on her own personal experiences. It was clear she knows and loves the local community, which made her suggestions all the more appreciated. While the service was outstanding, there were a couple of minor issues with the room. Although I booked a pool view room, our view was mostly obstructed by large bushes (Room 203), which was a bit disappointing. Additionally, the bathroom sink was clogged upon arrival. However, Jane was quick to act and had maintenance up to our room right away. The issue was resolved promptly, which I greatly appreciated. All in all, the staff, especially Jane, made the experience memorable. With a few small improvements to the room conditions, this could have easily been a 5-star stay. Thank you, Jane, for going above and beyond! You have a winning personality! Read less

Dori at the front desk made check-in go smoothly. She was very polite and knowledgeable about the area. The pool side room was perfect.

Stayed for 2 nights. Hotel is very close to all the shops and restaurants so we could walk to dinner, but is far enough away so it wasn't noisy at night time. Liked the fire pits but didn't get to use the pool. Would stay here again if we ever go back to Palm Springs.

This was our second visit to PS. First time we stayed at the Marriott Renaissance. It was nice but a bit too big and corporate feeling. Many reviewers say to stay at a boutique hotel when in PS. We weren’t sure about a small boutique and the Palm Mountain presented itself as something in between a big corporate hotel and a true boutique. We feel we made a good choice. This is a medium sized property with all the amenities we wanted. Beautiful grounds, nice pool area, and super quiet yet just a few steps to the heart of downtown restaurants and bars. Front desk staff are awesome. Jane was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were recently renovated and well appointed with frig, microwave and Keurig coffee maker. Room was quiet and comfortable. Nice little touches… love the complementary Starbucks in the morning in the lobby and the pleasant - not too sleepy, not too rowdy - music at the pool. We also took the complementary bikes on a ride. Palm Mountain was a great value. Highly recommend. Read less
