Synonyms for Oasis: Haven, Refuge, (safe) Harbor, Sanctuary, Retreat, Resort! All of these terms easily capture the essence of the Desert Riviera Hotel. Our experience was totally relaxing and peaceful. It completely lived up to all of the previous reviews and more. The bed was comfortable, the linen was high quality and the pillows were perfect (and we usually hate... More

Our recent stay at the Desert Riveria was wonderful. The staff, Judy, K.C., and Larry were more than accomodating. My wife and I were greeted with pleasant smiles and cold drinks on a hot afternoon. Our room, #6, was great. 60's era retro style very clean well lit with a large window to overlook the pool and a super mountain... More

The service was fantastic, we used the limo service to eat downtown, walked to Ace for the bar, and enjoyed the pool for hours. The room was cozy with nice tile, linens, and an renovated but funky 50's bathroom. We will definitely be returning to DR.

We needed a few days to recover from 4 days in San Diego. A short 2 hour drive and lodging at the Desert Riviera was the ideal "fix". Great pool area with friendly guests. Judy was a great host and the rooms and grounds were spotless and well groomed. Yes Trip Advisor- #1.

You will never find a better place to stay in Palm Springs! The Desert Riviera has customer service down to an art, the whole experience is just what anyone would want from a visit to old Palm Springs. We will never stay anywhere else when visiting the desert, love, love, LOVE this place!

The amenities here were great: free limo rides to and from dinner and free water/beverages and snacks for instance. We stayed in a room off of the main lobby, so after the lobby closed, we essentially had our own kitchen and living room to ourselves. While this was a benefit, it also felt like we had little privacy since we... More

My husband and I just returned from a 5 night stay. We stayed in room 6 and LOVED it! It was a lot larger than we had expected by looking at the pictures with "his and her" closets and a seperate kitchen area. We have traveled to over 20 hotels in the last 10 years, but always stayed away from... More

This small little hotel is outstanding. Only 11 rooms, and by the end of our stay, we felt like we were visiting friends rather than staying in a hotel. The guests were so friendly and interesting, hanging out at the pool. Swapped information on restaurants and things to do. I'm sure the owners have never met a stranger. The room... More
