A must for tiki fans!
Great retro hotel and a MUST stay for tiki enthusiasts. The Reef bar attached to the hotel is fantastic and everything a tiki fan could want with kitschy decor/vibe and good drinks! Rooms were comfy and the AC was high powered. Highly recommend.

It is an old hotel but that really gives it its charm. Office is cozy, pool and hot tub are great with tons of chairs available. Poolside bar was awesome. Rooms are a bit outdated but little additions made it cute. The only negative comments I have are that there was a sticky spot on the carpet and the deadbolt didnt work. However, they have people on the property 24 hours so we felt safe. It is very quiet. Pools is open until 11pm and checkout is noon! What's not to like?

We had the parlor room and it wasn’t even close to what the picture look like on Expedia might’ve been better. Just getting a regular room gray paint no pictures it’s a lively tiki bar and it does feel like you’re on the islands just to take more pride in their rooms with a nice decorations, bright color good looking pictures and fix the baseboards And watch out for the dark scary side of the motel

Always stay here with my fam, it’s chill. Not flashy, you pay for newer room or older room. Dont care to much about that, so I just stay in the older rooms. Beds are good, and I make the best of the stay for the price. Pool has food options and enjoy tiki theme.

Great spot to stay! Fun tropic vibes and themes, a wonderful pool area and bar, and a nice gym too. Located not too far from downtown. Will definitely consider this spot again for a Palm Springs weekend!

Would stay again
Pool and hot tub are great. I love the on-site restaurant. Even though I didn’t have a pet with me this time, glad to know they’re pet friendly! I love that they allow any pet— Not just dogs. That alone would be a reason for me to come back. The room was clean and comfortable, However, mine hairdryer, and the dispensers were out of shampoo and conditioner—those are things I have come to count in every hotel so I don’t have to pack them. I made do with what I had (luckily) bc once I’m settled in my room, I prefer not to have people in it to replenish things and it was just for a couple of nights. Overall, though the pros outweigh the cons!

Nice affordable motel that allows dog $25 a nite with a great pool and bar. unfortunately because it is reasonably affordable too many families with obnoxious kids in the pool
