This hotel is a nice solitude getaway. Quiet, on the outskirts of the city. The staff is very welcoming & pet lovers too. We stay here because we travel with our pup. They always make us feel welcome. Their breakfast is delicious and a great variety of food.

It pains me to leave this review because I wanted to like this place. The hotel itself is nice, Kendra at the check-in is lovely, rooms are large and clean, the pool and the jacuzzi are great with real spring water, but this review is due to the way the hotel handled my issue. Lack there of, to be exact. I came here for a night to rest and relax but it was impossible. You can hear everything, stomping, talking - everything, the walls are super thin. If you’re a light sleeper like me, that is a huge dealbreaker. I couldn’t sleep because of the loud stomping of the people above me back and forth from 10pm until 2am. Even after I expressed my concern to the overnight hotel staff, they said they couldn’t move me and didn’t offer a solution besides opening the pool (which I’m not sure what I would do there at 1:30am), even though the hotel didn’t seem sold out. I had to endure that loud stomping until 2am and then again at 8am the next day, and wasn’t able to get any rest that I came for. The hotel management didn’t acknowledge my complaint at all and made it seem like it was not a big deal. It’s a big deal for someone who paid $200 to get no rest. An upsetting experience.

It's like you own the place, private spotless clean, limited services (no restaurant, bar or karaoke) but all you need for a nice healthy, relaxing retreat. Nice spring water pool and hot tub area. I enjoyed it with my Beagle Rita who got pool service water bowl and lots of Love from the front desk lady and the Motel Manager.

Room had a nice lay out and tastefully decorated. Staff was exceptionally accommodating. Breakfast was well thought out with a combination of breads, eggs, yogurt and fresh fruits - plus coffee and juice. Mineral spring heated pool and jacuzzi was just what I needed at the end of the day.

The hotel was immaculate. Rooms large and very nicely decorated. Very good complimentary breakfast. The staff—Kendra, Geneva and Tracy—went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. Pool and spa delightful and clean, with special chairs to lower handicapped people into the water and take them out that I’ve never seen in any hotel before. A real plus for disabled me. Wish hotel staff was better prepared for high winds common in area. Pool umbrellas were not properly moored. Desert Hot Springs an ugly city with nothing to do and no good restaurants. But hotel’s mineral pools well worth the stay. I’ll be back.

Amazing place , great friendly attentive staff who genuinely care about your stay and spa experience. On our previous trip we booked a couples massage with Don who was professional and gave healing massage therapy! The beds are comfortable and you truly have a hot springs spa experience!!! I highly recommend from the outdoor explorers in Joshua Tree to the shoppers in Palm Springs , this is the place to come relax, rejuvenate and enjoy! Ps. Fabulous breakfast offerings in the morning to fuel your next adventure!!! Love The Onsen and their great Staff!!!
