Darling Oasis

Onsen was a darling desert oasis in Spa City. From our home base of Onsen, we spent seven days exploring Joshua Tree national park and the state park Indian Canyon. After a long day of hiking, we returned to Onsen to enjoy its large mineral pool and enormous hot tub. (By the way, the mineral water is silky and buoyant. A nice surprise!) We also explored the adjacent neighborhood. Onsen suggested Deliciouso and Taste of India. The recommendations were on spot - both were culinary gems. Not enough could be said about the graciousness of the staff. We would highly recommend Onsen and only wish its location to Chicago!!

The hotel is cute, the neighborhood is so so. There is nothing close by but it was much less expensive than staying in Palm Springs and worked out well for us. We spent 1 day at the Tram and 1 day at the outlet malls. The pool and hot tub were great.

This place is great if you’re just gonna chill there the whole time and don’t mind 20 minutes drive for any real options outside of a couple restaurants. It’s not very big, but it was nice that it wasn’t busy and we got the pool/ hot tub to ourselves. Bed wasn’t very comfortable. Hot tub timer was annoying and didn’t work well, breakfast was not the best. I just think it was a bit overpriced but I’m not unhappy with my experience

The property was very nice and the staff was as well. The area around the property is not so nice but the reception staff said they have security staff patrol the grounds overnight. The property is clean, the areas around the property have lots of garbage strewn everywhere.
