The Desert Riviera Hotel is my all-time favorite place to stay in Palm Springs! I love it so much my fiance and myself had all our wedding guests stay there along with us.... it was incredible! Larry, Patty and Judy did everything possible to make all of us feel right at home. No effort was spared.
To a person (and there was 22 of us), everyone LOVED THE EXPERIENCE. It could not have been better.
The Desert Riviera is the only place I'll stay in Palm Springs. Heck, I'll go to Palm Springs just to stay there!

This is what service is all about......great experience!
Absolutely loved it. I was there with my Partner and son and we all enjoyed our time immensely.
Nothing is a problem for Larry, Judy and Patty. They just want to make your stay a pleasurable experience.Limo service is great, free phone calls back home, internet service....the list goes on.
They just add a very special touch to everything they do!
The rooms are great and the pool setting is wonderful both day and night.
If you are going to stay in Palm Springs all roads lead to Desert Riviera Hotel.
Have fun!

Desert Riviera Hotel

Excellent all-around. The best small hotel service we have ever experienced. Before leaving, we booked again for next year.
Hosts are wonderful.
Pool and deck area are very nice, sunny, and just what we needed.

For the 3rd time in a year my friends and I just needed to go to the Desert Riviera. This is just the best place I know to relax and have some fun. The pool is just wonderful and everyone among the guests is very friendly. It is so nice to chat by the pool or the bbq. And Larry and Judy are so lovely. You can only love the Desert Riviera. Not to mention that the place is also gorgeous.

Desert Riviera Hotel
Apr 28, 2008
It's all been said in previous reviews but this place is really a rare find. We are so happy that we choose Desert Riviera over Mexico for our first relaxing vacation together since our son was born. Larry, Patty, and Judy all do an outstanding job with the hotel. The rooms are immaculate and we love the quaint atmosphere of the hotel.
We took the bikes out for a spin around beautfiul Palm Springs every morning and then laid by the pool all afternoon. Judy was more than helpful with getting us set up for dinner each night and made the grill available to us when we wanted to stay in and cook. The limo was a nice touch - we didn't drive a car for the whole 4 days we were there. We could mingle with the other guests around the fire pit at night or turn in for an early night alone. You felt comfortable making either choice.
All around - a GREAT spot to vacation!
