• Nice workout room and pool area.
• Elevators were too far from most of the rooms. Inadequate parking. Should have 2 queen beds not doubles.

“Recommend a continental type breakfast. Overall this is a pretty good hotel.”

• I liked that they had a cafe that served starbucks coffee.
• I did not like that they were not fully staffed. The exercise room was at least 100 degrees and I couldn't work out. No staff by pool serving drinks.

“I did not like this hotel. I know they are closing down late this month, but I didn't know that until after I already had the room. I called to ask if they were going to be fully staffed and they said yes, but for being a busy season, the staff looked low. Nobody by the pool area except 2 people, during the day we were told to move to the other side of the pool because of some event, the golf course was not taken care of very well, and the exercise room was with no air conditioning, and with temps of 90 outdoors it felt like over 100 degrees indoors. I was disappointed by my stay at this hotel. It did not feel like I stayed at a resort, felt like an over sized Holiday Inn.”

• Nothing
• Bathroom was not cleaned during our stay. Room Service was canceled without our knowledge.

“This is not quality hotel. As stated above the bathroom was not clean to begin with and was not cleaned during our stay. The rooms are noisy from the corridor and the nearby road.”

• I liked the pool, the king-sized bed and friendly atmosphere.
• There are not enough spaces for parking.

“This is the second time that I've been to this hotel, and I've enjoyed my stay on both occasions. My room was spacious and the area surrounding it was quiet. There is a big pool area and the poolside barbecue was a nice touch. The service was very good.”

• Location, and continental breakfast.
• Age, decor, no extra pillows, got stuck with extra charge and smoky smelling room.

“Your pricing doesn't include an option for additional guests, like my children. When I called the hotel directly they pounced on the opportunity to basically negate any savings that I had gotten from your site. I had already paid you and so I was locked in and they knew it. I think the whole thing was a bit of a come on. ”

• The swimming pool and outside space.
• The lady that gives the towels.

“The price I paid was $10 higher than the price they hotel offered directly.”

• Large resort, large pool, spa, tennis courts and clean.
• The decor is rather dark. Area around hotel not my favorite.

“Location very close to downtown Palm Springs. Other hotels around this one are not as nice. Hotel is clean. Restaurant is very good. They have an onsite Starbucks! Pool and spas kept up well. My building was farthest from the main building. I prefer to be close to the lobby especially when traveling with children. I would definitely try to stay there again. Price was great on for quality. Highly recommended.”

• Nice pool.
• Shower had mole. Room was small.

“Very small, mole in shower. I spent $105 plus service fees that really was worse than a $65 Best Western.”

• Balconies with a view.
• They did not have any rooms with balconies.

“I had to pay an extra $8 as a property-use fee. ”

• Staff was friendly.
• The room was old looking and missing furniture. Needs a face lift. There was a lot of street traffic noise.

“This hotel is definitely not a three star hotel. It looks like the only thing that had been updated in the room in the last 20 years was the granite sink counter. There is no security and easy access to all buildings by anyone from the street. There is an $8 daily charge extra.”

• Large room with a decent view.
• Lobby doors are not locked so security may be an issue.

“This hotel is centrally located. We had a car but didn't drive much while there. The room was much larger than expected. The beds were comfortable. It is a full service hotel with room service available. There was a refrigerator and coffee pot with an ample amount of coffee. This is an older hotel but not shoddy. We enjoyed our over night there.”

• Worst hotel experience in over 30 years of traveling.

“Made to wait from noon until 6:30PM before room was ready, room was filthy dirty, pool and restaurant were closed, did not receive wake up call, coffee maker in room was broken, toilet dirty and stained. water ran all night and would not shut off. Room temp was either too hot or too cold with noisy fan. Indigent people walking through hotel property. Security lock on door broken. Hotel grounds and public area filthy dirty with debris everywhere. I have stayed in third world countries whose accommodations were better and safer.”

“This hotel was way over-priced. There was hair on the bathroom floor. We were never asked about accommodations and we were given a 2 double bed room, we wanted 1 king bed. The mattress were not comfortable.”

• The workout room has a nice variety of equipment.
• It's definitely an older property with paper thin walls.

“The front desk was very helpful and friendly. The hallways seem a little worn, carpet and wall paper. I liked the 50's feel and architecture. It's on the edge of Palm Springs but not too out of the way if you are mainly focused on Palm Springs. It's very close to the main shopping drag in Palm Springs.”

• Beautiful view of mountains, nice pool.
• Restaurant mediocre, lobby and public places tired feeling.

“If you want to go back in time, and experience the life of travel in the 50's or 60's, go to the Rivera. Modest rooms, but stationed on perfectly kept grounds in the heart of old Palm Springs, let you relax, while still connecting to the internet for free. A pool is the real plus here.”

• Room was a good size.
• Too old. In need of renovation. Needs more elevators.

“This is north of the main downtown section of Palm Springs. It's an older property that's in need of a renovation. There was plenty of parking and the pool was a good size.”

• Very nice facilities and close to town.
• Weak wi-fi signal.

“This is a classic Palm Springs resort. The appearance and accessories are all designed to be reminiscent of the 60's. There is plenty to do at the actual resort, swim, tennis, basketball, putting green. It is also close to downtown and tram. It far exceeded my expectations.”
