“Great value, service and amenities”

Aug 17, 2025R3994LWdanl

A very pleasant stay. My wife and I stayed one night on a road trip heading home to Phoenix. We made good use of the hotel and amenities during our short stay. The room was very comfortable and in great condition. We enjoyed the Monday evening burger specialty menu at the Agave Grill and Bar where the food, drinks, and service were very good. We played a fun game of air hockey in the game room before retiring for the evening. We took advantage of the fitness center and the on-site Starbucks before departure. The pool looked very inviting but unfortunately, we did not have time during this trip to use it. We will return to this hotel next time we're in the area.

“Desert in summer? Yes please!”

Spent a full week here with spouse and kids. Great experience! We only ate out once and used the villa kitchen to its full potential. Visited the pools every day and barely noticed the 100+ degree temps since it is a ‘dry heat.’ Lots of programs and classes offered throughout the week. I want to especially call out Pilar who leads the yoga classes. I attended three of her classes and they were definitely a highlight of the Westin experience. She is great! And yes we attended a sales meeting but it was no pressure and we were treated well.

“Great for family's and extended stays”

My forth visit to this Westin property prompted this review. As one who has drunk all the Marriot brand Kool-Aid (515 nights since 2008, credit card, etc.) the brand gives you lots of options in the Palm Desert area. My previous visits were week long time share exchanges when working from home; now that I’m retired and spending just a few days I’m reevaluating future stays. To be clear, I’m not dishing the property at all. In point of fact, the grounds and rooms were immaculate and rarely have I experienced better trained staff, especially in the Agave restaurant. Since my last visit their deployment of a chat bot to follow up with you on your satisfaction with every touch point was both a new experience and impressive. If your are traveling with family/kids, this is the place for you. Traveling single for a few days, I think the JW will be my future choice. While the cost per night is ~$70 more, the amenities are more upscale. While I love kids, the pools at the Desert Willow were overrun and the water was cloudy -yuk. Just not my cup of tea anymore. I’d highly recommend for extended stays and family. Biggest gripe: charging $25 per day for parking in the desert….only 20% of the spots are covered.
