Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: We weren’t able to turn the volume up on our phone to listen to music..

Plussat: the host is verry nice and the room is clean with breakfast，that is so sweet. This hotel is comfortable and it is a good choice for stay.

Miinukset: the temperature of water in the bathroom for shower is not stable，it feels colder and then get too hot.

Plussat: We were greeted by Judy who was extremely friendly and showed us to our room. She was amazing and provided helpful recommendations in the area. The rooms are spacious and provided all the accommodations a couple could need for a weekend stay. There is a lovely little kitchen with all amenities included. The pool area was quiet and very relaxing. We highly recommend this location for any couple who needs a recharge.

Miinukset: There isn’t really anything we didn’t like about the property.

Plussat: Not a large hotel so very intement. Super friendly and helpful staff. Great room, especially liked the bed and shower. Has a little kitchen which is really nice.

Miinukset: Nothing bad to say

Plussat: Just stayed for a night last weekend over Labor Day weekend. What a sublime experience. From Judy, the charming host, to the beautiful pool area with only a few neighbors who were all friendly, to the spacious room, it was just great. I loved the plush bathrobes, the slippers provided, the bottle of wine and bagels and croissants in the fridge for breakfast. Our room had a back AND front semi private patio area. And the shower with jets truly is decadent. Also, good comfortable mattress and armchairs and Directv with premium movie channels. Loved the fact that I could take a night dip in the 24-hour pool. All in all, just a wonderful experience at a great price. We'll be back!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We were welcomed so nicely. Pool and lounge chairs were excellent. Room accommodations were fantastic, clean, and amenity-rich. The salt water pool was refreshing. Great quiet location off the main drag, but close enough to all the action.

Miinukset: Nothing - it was great

Plussat: Everything was great; parking, location,rooms, pool, heating and amenities. We wanted small hotel, (not a resort) in town and this worked out fine.

Miinukset: broken toilet seat

Plussat: Victor and Judy are doing an outstanding job with this little property. Victor took care of us from the moment we arrived and efficiently checked us in and showed us to our room! Wow! Fresh, modern, clean - with everything you could possibly need to make this hotel your home away from home. Fresh white robes, high quality bedding, fabulous air con, beautiful bathroom and a perfect quiet location. Even a new Samsung 55" curved television with Netflix! Everything you could need, and then some!

Miinukset: What's not to like? Victor and Judy are obviously people who truly understand the needs of a guest! I would thoroughly recommend this property to friends and family.

Plussat: Everything was excellent

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beautifully renovated boutique hotel with 3 pools, free parking, nicely decorated rooms, great cocktails and friendly staff. Has a bit of a Chateau Marmont vibe - very charming.

Miinukset: 3 small things that can be improved (but should not keep you from booking this place): the free breakfast was a little light, the pool was cloudy after a hot day and service around the pool was a little sporadic.

Plussat: Boutique heaven. Everything was perfect!

Plussat: Everything! We had a wonderful time!

Plussat: Rooms the pool I really enjoy my stay will be coming back

Miinukset: Better menu for dinner and the prices and options

Plussat: Beautiful property, well maintained

Plussat: My boyfriend and I checked in and we’re immediately offered a complimentary cocktail which was useful after a long drive! It was quiet and relaxing with beautiful landscape and even more beautiful and cozy rooms. We will definitely be returning!

Plussat: Everything!! Comfortable beds, amazing pool, quiet, excellent staff, really good drinks, incredible decor and very clean, no kids!!!!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: I have been spending long weekends in Palm Springs every summer for about the past 20 years. We live in San Diego, so PS makes for an easy getaway. We have stayed at a number of nice, renovated hotels (prefer to stay in smaller, boutique-style places) and Villa Royale is our hand's down favorite, and I cannot imagine staying anywhere else. From the warm and genuine welcome at reception, to the perfect little map of the property (we kept it), the cute key set, the comfy beds, spacious room, pools, grounds - all of it was just the perfect mix of luxury and casual comfort. It's just so easy to be here! There is also no pretense or fussy, high-maintenance "hipster" vibe (looking at you, ACE Hotel). Real people stay here! It is quiet (no kids!!), there's great music playing over the PA (at just the right volume), friendly service, interesting menu (food and bev). Loved every bit. Can't wait to come back!

Miinukset: Nothing not to like. Wouldn't change a thing!

Plussat: Great decor and environment. Will be back again.

Plussat: The hotel was charming, authentically palm springs and aesthetically gorgeous. With friendly and helpful staff and a great location, we are happy that we stayed there. The room was clean, stunning and mid century, fitting well in Palm Springs. It had tonnes of great facilities, like a coffee machine, bluetooth speaker, hairdryer and mini fridge. The cocktails are delicious, and fairly priced at happy hour, however the rest of the bar is quite expensive during the rest of the day ($8 for a small beer). Which is a shame, as if it was cheaper I could have stayed round the pool all day - you're not allowed to bring your own drinks to the pool, even if it's a soft drink.

Miinukset: Unfortunately breakfast was extremely poor and really let the hotel down, when booking it says that breakfast comes with the nights stay. In reality what you get is day old hard croissants, some fruit (and fruit flies) and a few boiled eggs. Filter coffee was also available but only green tea, no breakfast tea anywhere. I couldn't even stretch to call it a continental breakfast, it was really bad. Other small things were, the cleaner wouldn't service the room everyday, unless you asked her too (she was very grumpy when you did ask her) and there was only 2 plug outlets in the whole room, meaning I had to charge my phone by the coffee machine every night (not the end of the world I know, but annoying too!). Lastly we we're notified of a completely unexpected fee of $35 dollars a night resort fee when we checked in, which wasn't mentioned anywhere on booking.com. As we we're staying 5 nights, this was a lot of money that wasn't expected. Thankfully when we mentioned this to reception they removed the fee as we had booked on booking.com.

Plussat: Great resort - well maintained and very comfortable. Everything is done well.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: We had an amazing experience and would recommend Santiago Resort to anybody. We will stay there again.

Plussat: I can’t say enough about the amazing, friendly staff. The facilities are impeccable and the continental breakfast is perfect for a light start to the day. Included lunch is an awesome unexpected bonus.

Plussat: Atmosphere, jacuzzi, friendliness of guests & staff, breakfast AND lunch included. Bath facilities, solid bed, location

Miinukset: Value not equal to price. All else tubular

Plussat: Loved having the breakfast and lunch. The stocked room with drinks and snacks at any time was such a nice feature!

Miinukset: The room we were in didn’t have a mirror besides the small one over the sink. The toilet was very low and was loose.

Plussat: First, the location is great and the value for what you pay. Second, the staff is top notch; they bend over backwards for great customer care and service. Kent and Bob are both jewels. Please check this place out; we would stay there again.

Miinukset: Bathroom is a little small.

Plussat: Staff, snacks, nice property,

Plussat: Overall the facility was great

Miinukset: Need more electrical outlets in room

Plussat: Modern and beautiful.

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: The room was very old furniture, creaks in the wall, mold in shower. HORRIBLE patio creaked and uneven with filthy air conditioners behind the patio.

Plussat: Like stepping back into the 60's

Plussat: Excellant management. Property very secure. The courtyard was amazing, BEAUTIFUL! So much fun to stay at a non-chain that is well preserved. Highly recommend this little gem.

Plussat: Beautiful flowers and plantings. Clean ! Rick was friendly and kind. Misters around pool were perfect for comfort from heat.

Miinukset: Paint chipped in bathroom. Need umbrella for shade on patio. Too many wires exposed on tv wall.

Plussat: Mid Century buildings, quiet, comfy bed!

Plussat: The grounds were immaculate, room was very clean, staff was very friendly and the breakfast on Saturday was very nice with some yummy homemade goodies. My dog loved the outdoor space as well.

Miinukset: The room was a bit older and smaller than expected, the fireplace in my room did not work, I got over charged by accident then double charged but they immediately reversed the incorrect charge as soon as I called.

Plussat: I liked the privacy their. I loved the bungalow my daughter and I stayed in. I, also, liked the fact that we were right in downtown Palm Springs where we could see a lot.

Miinukset: The fact that we couldn’t stay longer.

Plussat: The staff was VERY friendly and gracious; these are experienced, mature hosts who know how to smile at you and put their calls on hold while assisting you. The salt water pool and hot tub were incredibly clean and the tub was hot. Their little putting range was well maintained. They had an awesome library of books and movies to borrow free of charge. They offer free snacks, and a Saturday/Sunday morning continental breakfast poolside. The bed was a sleep by number bed, and our unit included a full well-stocked kitchen with free coffee. The doors/units opened onto a garden that was beautiful--no ugly view of a parking lot! This is a very quiet older property but it is well maintained, and close to everything.

Plussat: The patio was charming and you take pets

Miinukset: A nicer brrakfast

Plussat: Very pleasant--out in the gazebo by the pool

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff in this wonderful garden hotel were fabulous! Warm, flexible and dedicated to preserving what is like an extended family experience. Love them!

Miinukset: Nothing, had I not had a neck injury!

Plussat: Staff were very friendly and we absolutely enjoyed our stay.

Plussat: Always clean always quiet

Plussat: Great pool area/aesthetic. Good price point.

Miinukset: Room was clearly older, could use some updating.

Plussat: Nothing..

Miinukset: The staff when checking in was GREAT. The morning staff when I checked out was a whole different story. RUDE RUDE RUDE is all I can say...

Plussat: Well it’s an excellent location , it was adult and family friendly all combined .. great pool and very good location. It’s a great place to stay .

Miinukset: No con’s

Plussat: Ambience, pool, location

Miinukset: I waa going to be charged another 400 so we could have a downstairs room . My father has a disability and struggled each time to get up and down the stairs. Some of the bar staff were just plain rude which on a vacation is a slight buzz kill. We all have bad days but its called customer service.....

Plussat: Great pool, great staff!

Miinukset: Bed was very springy

Plussat: The set up easy access to the pool

Miinukset: Not sufficient cream for my free coffee

Plussat: Amazing vibe, great location to explore Palm Springs

Miinukset: We seemed to get the worst room on the complex (no views, noisey maintenance block?!) but other than this the place was brilliant.

Plussat: Very clean room

Miinukset: A.C. was loud but worked good

Plussat: Great budget stay close to all the amenities that Palm Springs has to offer. Loved the restaurants that are close by. Very friendly staff who were extremely helpful. Also great that the pool was open so late!

Miinukset: The gym could do with a slight upgrade of their equipment.

Plussat: The coffee was the best I've ever had. Staff were nice and we were upgraded to a room with an amazing view.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The front desk guy was very nice

Miinukset: This is the 2nd time I am given room 128 and it still has the same issues. That room has scorching hot water never cools down impossible to shower. The toilet has a very slow drain and therefore does not completely flush. After my first incident I decided to give the hotel another try but to go through the experience now twice that did it for me.

Miinukset: Bed was hard, facility was messy, didn't feel safe

Miinukset: One small thing. I don’t know if the bugs I saw in the room came in under the door because of the high heat or the place needs to be fumigated. I saw what looked like a small roach with wings by the phone. I killed it. Then I saw another one by the door. I killed it. In the morning I saw a dead one behind the phone. Someone else killed it. I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt but I’ll be staying someplace else next time.

Plussat: Easy to find, close to the main attractions.

Miinukset: Slight smell of smoke in the room, but not a major issue - that happens.

Plussat: The beds

Plussat: Convenient location (quick walk, bike-ride, or drive to many shops, restaurants). Building and surroundings seem reasonably safe. Updated contemporary furniture, fixtures, and color scheme are appealing. The pool is very nice and was exceptionally clean.

Miinukset: No fridge, coffee maker, microwave oven, blow-dryer, iron & board, *or* full length mirror. Wasteful toilet, cramped shower w/low pressure. A noon checkout time would be nice. I can get much more for the same price.

Plussat: Great wood linoleum flooring instead of carpet. Spacious. Light coverlet which means able to be washed often. Great a.c. Spectacular view of Mt St Jacinto, all 10,833 feet of it!

Miinukset: Bring your own shampoo, only soap provided. Although it looks like front desk offered a gift basket for a price.

Plussat: No comment

Miinukset: At night time at 7pm there are bugs around the light near the room. So many bugs surrounding the lights.

Miinukset: We had bugs in the room and our room was separated from the next room by a locked door.

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: Toilet was running water all night long, making a lot of noise.

Plussat: Staff were friendly and helpful & professional.

Miinukset: The transient location felt a little sketchy & over-crowded at times - hard to find time alone on the property.

Plussat: Price

Miinukset: It is a Motel 6 they deliver the inexpensive straight forward experience they promise.
