The breakfast choices were great. I didn't care for the egg selection (the potatoes or hashbrowns, whatever they were supposed to be, were terrible), but the yogurt, oatmeal, bagels, toast, fruit selections were great. Staff kept everything stocked or cleaned during breakfast time, Staff was great without seeming to be hovering. Excellent!
This hotel is a gem. It is a beautiful resort with glamorous old Hollywood memorabilia all around. It offers fabulous entertainment with no cover! The rooms are large and comfortable! Hotel service is excellent.

This hotel is a special part of The Desert and Indian Wells history, while enjoying this property created by Desi & Lucy Arnaz.
Lovely property. Well located, easy access from within the Valley, with parking for our visitors. Can entertain friends in the bar/restaurant with an excellent light menu and always great entertainment. The big hotels are too much work with too many people. Excellent choices here nearby for dining and shopping. Vicky's great food and atmosphere next door.
Some reviews complain about the parking & resort fees. All fees totaled are still less than generic chain hotels in the same class. Or you can pay 2X to 3X at the Hyatt or Esmerelda, which of course accommodate different needs. IW Resort is a special gem until some generic chain acquires and ruins it. Charming rooms, lovely hotel. Excellent staff and management.
This hotel is located in one of the highest median income affluent neighborhoods in the Desert.

Everything takes longer to get to than anticipated due to traffic lights and slow drivers.
Apparently - Thursday nights in Palm Springs has a big carnival and streets are shut down. Parking is impossible. Avoid the area unless you are walking in.
Avoid the Nest - very expensive for diner-type food. They cater to those drinking in the bar more than restaurant. We were asked to move tables mid-meal to accommodate a party of 8 from bar.
LG Steakhouse is a must! Great service and food!

Lovely area. We were there following the National Football Champiinship in LA, drove down to watch a collegiate round robin tennis tournament. The Tennis facility is ++ and The Sands was so convenient to it. Go Dawgs!

Indian Wells is a very small. but very wealthy bedroom community, sandwiched between Palm Desert and La quinta. The biggest attraction is the Tennis Gardens that host a national major tennis tournament every spring.

Hotel management and security needs to be educated better.
Hotel management and security needs to be educated better. Put guests at risk
Absolutely so dissatisfied, with the hotel managers handled this situation and our rooms should of been pro rated or refunded.
Crappy,
, only two Keri podafor a3 night stayfortwo people: so ridiculous all the apps that need to be downloaded. The booking was through booking.com. Then I received messages from turn Key and red awning. So basically, three emails/apps. Very very confusing. I would not recommend this at all. I feel insulted that I paid so much for this. I have been to this area multiple times for the Indian Wells tennis and this is the worst value I’ve ever had. I will definitely use the facilities I had on prior visits.
Was very surprised when we arrived at this quant, nestalgic hotel for a one night stay. It was close to venue we were attending that night so that is reason I chose it! Pool & hot tub were great! Good excellent, breakfast was awesome & room was adequate for our stay. Loved how it still was a bit old style with furniture, pictures & music! Live music was a bonus during our supper at Happy hour--ambiance was so nice. I have told several travellers at our resort they need
To check it out!
Loved the cleanliness and retroappeal of founders Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz It was beautiful pictures of them all over the hotel, the lounge with a great singer Marc Antonelli at night, the extensive continental breakfast and very comfy rooms. The view from our lovely suite out over the pool and the snow capped mountains and palm trees was spectacular.
This is a well appointed hotel with a lovely pool and gardens, very picturesque. The staff are very attentive with pool side service and a nice restuarent attached which served very good food and cocktails. There is also a hot spa pool best for the cooler evenings. Free parking was a bonus. Lovely, quiet and relaxing. We will be back.
The hotel is nice, the staff was very nice and welcoming. The check in process was very fast and was even able to check in earlier than expected. The pool area is amazing, the movie in the pool area was great and relaxing. The staff at the pool was very friendly and attending.
We enjoyed our stay so much. Everything was great. We would like to mention the very nice reggae music playlist by the pool: the management team has a great taste for music! The hotel is charming and its good storytelling makes you feel part of the history.
Very nice and super comfy room. Pool was great but didn’t get why they reserve a bunch of seats for VIP - nobody ever occupied them. Great gym! Overall a very nice stay, though overall the hotel is quite expensive. Staff is really nice and attentive.
We were looking for a boutique, retro Palm Springs hotel, and this one hit the mark. The beds were comfortable. The chilled pool was wonderful, comfortable longe chairs, good pool service.
The hotel was beautiful and clean and the hotel in itself has great decors and aesthetics. The valet staff were very nice. The room was clean and housekeeping did a great job.
I was fortunate enough to get a ground floor with small patio. I requested this before my arrival and the hotel staff accommodated my request. thank you!
