I knew being Memorial Day Weekend it would be busy. We arrived Friday evening and the hotel welcomes you with bright colors and spacious lobby. Sean (Front Desk Agent) receives two thumps up. He welcomed us, catered the conversation to our wants and needs and was very knowledgeable. He knew all the questions to our answers and provided us with... More

It sounds like you all had a fabulous time here in Palm Springs! I'm so glad you were able to chill by the pool and give El Jefe a try. Thanks for the great review. Of course, we'll be happy to send you a T-shirt. Give me a call at 760-323-1711 and we'll discuss the details. Regards, David Curell, General... More

Stayed at the Saguaro with the hubby and the pups during their1st week of opening. The hotel has been recently renovated but you could tell from the layout that it was a former motel. Layout was very confusing and the remodel was a bit cheap. I go to Palm Springs to relax and prefer to stay at The Colony Palms... More

It's not the Parker so don't expect 5 star, but I thought it was a fun get away weekend. Not peaceful, but fun. Only complaint was breakfast. Too expensive for the selection and the morning service is the pits. Dinner is excellent though. Bring ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise and I wouldnt book outside rooms that face... More

I spent the weekend (5/18-20/12) at The Saguaro Palm Springs and had the most amazing time. I frequent the Palm Springs/Palm Desert at least 2-3 times a year trying out new hotels searching for the perfect location to relax and recharge. I believe my search has ended and my permanent PS hotel is The Saguaro. From the moment we arrived,... More

This was the 1st time we were in PalmSprings and didn't know what to except. The Saguaro is convenently located to be able to enjoy the town. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We stayed in a suite which was well appointed with a balcony overlooking the pool. The colors that were used were taken from the dessert flowers... More

I'm glad that helped we make your first trip to Palm Springs a pleasant one! You're right — the view of the mountain is absolutely breathtaking, especially against the backdrop of our vibrant colors. El Jefe and Tinto are both fantastic restaurants. I'm thrilled that you had a chance to give them a try. Thank you for the kind words.... More

We knew before we booked this was an old hotel redone. 24 primary colours and more modern. I went with my best friend, my teenage daughter and her bestfriend. Upon check in, we were greeted by a very friendly employee. I love how they have little signs with bios about the person checking you in. We were given cold clothes... More

Read in the Advocate that the Sarguro Hotel was the place to be for Dinah Shore Weekend. This was not true. Our room was dark but, with an amazing mix of wild colors, not very relaxing. In the morning we were awaken by Music from the pool. Many families and kids around the pool area. Where was Dinah Shore weekend... More

While I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay, I'm sorry that you were disappointed with us during Dinah Shore weekend. We did not reserve the hotel for the event, so many families were with us on this weekend. Again, I apologize. We will certainly take this into consideration when planning the festivities for next year. Thank you for... More

I stayed here on night, May 12. I paid only $65 on Expedia's "you don't find out where you're staying until after you pay" deal and it was totally worth it. Unfortunately, if I had paid the $200 they were asking on the regular site I'd have been REALLY upset. I felt bad for the people I talked to who... More

AMAZING. I just got home from an impromptu overnight at the Saguaro and I can't wait to go back. So - the circumstances...I live in LA and because it's been chilly near the ocean, I decided on Saturday AM that I wanted to head to the 100+ degree warmth.
