I’ll definitely be back, and next time, I’ll stay much longer.

Ingleside Estate Hotel & Bungalows- Adults Only

Staying at Ingleside Estate Hotel & Bungalows was a truly memorable experience. This beautifully preserved historic property exudes charm and character, with staff who are attentive, warm, and genuinely committed to guest comfort. Our bungalow was absolutely delightful—private garden, serene atmosphere, and perfect for unwinding. Breakfast on the patio was fresh and delicious, while dinner at Melvyns was an exceptional highlight, with excellent food and a lovely ambiance. The only downside was a wedding group that took over the pool area during the weekend—loud, disruptive, and some guests were clearly intoxicated, making it difficult for others to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A simple solution would be to designate certain areas as quiet zones, ensuring everyone can relax without disturbance. Overall, this is a standout retreat for adults seeking tranquility, style, and genuine hospitality. Highly recommended for a peaceful, upscale getaway.

Hyatt Palm Springs

Staying at Hyatt Palm Springs was an excellent experience overall. The hotel is perfectly located right in the heart of Palm Springs, making it super convenient to walk to restaurants, shops, and local attractions—no need to worry about transportation. Parking was $30 for one night, which is a bit steep but justified by the central location and quality of service. The room was spacious and incredibly comfortable, with a bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The only minor downside was the breakfast selection—it was limited to a single-point menu option. Adding more variety like fresh fruit, different breakfast bowls, or local favorites would make it even better. Still, this is a top-tier stay with great value, and I’d definitely return.
