The Saguaro Palm Springs

Our room was clearly a bit older, but was a “surface-level” amount of clean. There were some spots on the carpet, but we generally felt comfortable with the amount of care put into cleaning the linens. The staff members were all very friendly and attentive. We also enjoyed the bikes provided to guests. The view from the room was great, even if it was facing a parking lot. We had an amazing view of some palm trees and mountains in the distance. While this hotel may not be fresh and updated, it’s very charming and it’s in a very good location for tourists who may want to run over to the grocery store or walk to a restaurant for dinner, no car necessary!

Fun little hotel in Palm Springs. Art deco/modernist style. Funky colors everywhere. I dig. Great in room amenities (booze/beers even condoms and lube if you need!) Definitely hip with the younger crowd probably from LA. That’s cool. Good pit stop for us as we’re driving through. Reasonable mid-week rates.

I had my wedding reception at the Saguaro in May and it was perfect! Mark, the event coordinator, was amazing! Planning was low stress and every time we met, he made sure we feeling good about everything. Day of was a breeze. We loved to location and leaned into the rainbow colors of the hotel. We had a blast and people are still talking about how fun it was and how great the food and drinks were. We got the taco bar and had margaritas and sangria as signature drinks. My husband and I stayed on the property for the event, along with many other guests and had an easy stay. Can't recommend enough!

This is one of the cutest and well kept hotels I ever been too! It's so colorful that it's impossible to be in a bad mood. The rooms were adorable! The staff were so friendly and helpful, especially Maria at the front desk, Randy at the front desk, and the bartender at El Jefe bar and Cantina, Hugo. Their kindness was really the icing on the cake. Food at the restaurant was exceptional. I can't wait to go back! Thank you Saguro for an amazing stay!

Do not bother staying at this hotel. It is old, dirty, and looks nothing like the photos online. Barely any staff, hot hallways, mini split AC in room couldn't keep up. The pool water was HOT, the drinks and food at the hotel were way overpriced and just basic. Plenty of other better places to stay in Palm Springs.

It was our first time to the hotel and the hotel vibe and staff set the mood for a great experience. The desk help, bar tenders, servers and all housing staff were friendly and fun. We felt like it was we were regulars. ||We hung out at the poop a couple hours each day and stayed in the pool most of the time. There must have been over a hundred people in the pool. There were gays, straights, fit and unfit. It was truly a melting pot and everyone was friendly. We met and talked to so many people and it was an amazing time. ||We will go again! This is our place.

We had a group celebration at The Saguaro and had a great weekend! While the rooms and indoor hallways felt a bit worn and could use some updating, the pool area, restaurant, and staff made up for it. We rented cabanas by the pool, which had a fun bar, great food, a DJ, and great service -it was the perfect birthday vibe! Huge shoutout to Mark T., who was amazing throughout the planning process. He helped us set up a group rate, answered all my questions quickly, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Thanks to him, our group had an unforgettable time!

The bottom line is - there are nicer places to stay and I wish I had done more research. I booked a last minute trip to Palm Springs, and luckily I wasn't booking my hotel based on the actually enjoying the amenities or hotel room, because then I would've been even more disappointed. Our rooms was oddly large and felt very empty - lots of unused space. I wish I had brought flip flops to walk around barefoot on the carpet in the room. The room had a little bit of a funky smell. The hallways outside the room were dirty and people left trash outside their rooms. There are lots of people partying at this hotel (or is it a motel?) and the other rooms were very noisy. Online check in does NOT work - FYI. We never went to the pool.

Great room! Clean stocked mini bar, lush pool robes and saving the best for last most fun I've had at a pool party! Ps great desk people, so nice and helpful!

We stayed at The Saguaro Palm Springs over Memorial Day weekend and were deeply let down. Despite booking a Queen Suite for a special occasion, we were downgraded to a worn-down King room with ripped curtains and stained walls--and only offered a partial refund. Wi-Fi and TVs were down for almost 24 hours, the on-site Cantina restaurant was closed all weekend with no notice, and the pool was overcrowded with non-hotel guests from ResortPass. We couldn't find seating and had to sit on the ground while people repeatedly stepped on our stuff. To top it off, our room was next to a slamming stairwell door that made it hard to sleep. Overall, I was extremely disappointed at the lack of customer service and experience at this hotel. I would not book again.

We stayed at this hotel last night. The pool was lots of fun but not many shaded areas unless you for a cabana or loungers. Pool bar closed at 5pm on a Friday night which was surprising. The music at the pool was great and we really appreciated the water misters. The hotel seems like it used to be an old apartment building. While we love the colors of the pain, the decor is cheap appearing and from the pool chairs to the hotel rooms, much was dirty and very worn down. We did not feel things were sanitary at all. The hotel staff are really nice but we would not stay at this hotel again due to the filthy pool chairs, bathroom floors etc.

It's a no for me. We booked a poolside room with a patio. Paid a considerable amount for it. Be forewarned that they consider every first floor room as poolside, despite being nowhere near the pool. You can't even exit toward the pool/activities area and close/lock the door without doing so from inside your room so it's a waste. Upon check-in we were hardly greeted, and when we had our luggage "secured" prior to check in, they just stuck it in unused the night-life bar area with no secured door. Massages were fine- low key, nothing special. Seemed totally separate from the hotel. The Jefe restaurant was the only part of the hotel that was enjoyable and I'm glad we asked for a refund. The Riviera is 10000000x better- friendly service, cleaner and newer facilities, less money, larger pool..

If I could give zero stars, I would. This place is an absolute ripoff. Insanely overpriced for what you get -- which is basically a dingy, outdated hotel that smells like a hospital and looks like it hasn't been updated since the 80s. The carpets are old and musty, the elevator is sketchy, and the whole vibe is just depressing. We requested room cleaning during our stay and it never happened. Not once. And yet somehow, we got slapped with a cleaning fee at checkout, along with an absurd amenity fee for services we didn't even use. Total scam. The minibar situation -- the fridge is completely jam-packed with overpriced items, so don't even think about storing your own drinks or snacks. Zero flexibility. The photos online are totally misleading. What you see is NOT what you get. And to top it all off, this place is not even close to the Coachella venue -- it's a good 30-minute drive, so don't let them fool you with any kind of "convenient location" claim.

I'm going to give two stars because the pool area is really nice, it's a nice sized pool with a jacuzzi at each end. But our group won't be back. We were the ONLY ones who rented aa caabasnaa today and got hasssdeled by the pool staff. Something was a policy violation and we were addressed. But we noticed two other people doing the exact same thing in the pool area and the staff ignored them and went about their business. After those guests left (because we're not a group who tosses people under the bus I approached the staff at the pool and pointed out that they had ignored two other guests, no one else paid a premium for a cabana and we were pretty well separated from the other guests. The pool staff kind of had an "I don't care attitude" but did offer to bring it up to the manager. After a couple hours we assumed the manager didn't care either as she never came to see us. So many assumption is this joints doesn't actually career about customer satisfaction, the staff is rude and dismissive, doesn't equally enforce policy, doesn't appreciate guests who spend the extra money for upgrades and doesn't want repeat business. We were a group of seven, we rented several rooms, we come to palm springs every winter, this is the first and last time we come here. Just a warning, the rooms you see on line aren't a real representation, the images you see in the lobby? Yeah you can't do that lol. Got bad knees? Well there's no elevators so enjoy the 3 flights of stairs to your room. Honest opinion, look elsewhere, it's your hard earned income, spend it where the staff respects you!

Long story short - you can find better. I stayed for one night, so I didn't complain to the first desk, but could not have stayed any longer. The good: colorful & mostly like photos, and near everything. The bad: 1. Light flickered consistently ( either a ghost or a shortage in the wiring) 2. The air conditioner did not completely cool off the room. It was 105 degrees outsdide and at least 85 in the room, so colder than outside, but not 61 like it said on the ac unit. 3. You cannot check until very very close to 4pm as my room was not ready when I arrived prior to 4pm. They did give me a coupon for 2 margaritas at the pool and offered to keep my bags. I declined because I had a birthday cake that needed to be kept cool, so I sat in the car until my room was ready. 4. Don't get a pool view room! The patio door is not sound proof, so you will be listening to music and chatter until about 8pm or longer. The pool closes at 10pm, but everyone left around 8, so it was pretty quiet. 5. Not good for a solo trip, the lobby was filled with people from the drag show, checking in, hanging out on the patio playing music , and tons of bachelorette festivities. 6. Also, inspect your room. My room was fairly dirty. Hair, paint in random places, chip paint falling and seems like they are covering up water damage or mold. 7. There is only an elevator in the corner of the building, so you need to find a park by the pink wall or else you will be stuck taking the stairs to your room or walking to the elevator then walking to your room. Only 3 flows, so are inside and some are outside.

You get what you pay for at The Saguaro. We only used our room to sleep, but even then, we noticed some major issues. The most alarming was a stain on one of the beds (it looked like blood). When we called the front desk, they simply brought a new sheet--no apology, no offer to make it right. Also, beware that the walls are paper-thin. We could hear our neighbor snoring, and if you're on the first floor, expect to hear every footstep from above. The bathroom was in terrible shape--the tub spout was literally coming off the wall, and the floors didn't look clean. I believe this was once a much nicer hotel, but now it's giving motel vibes. The staff doesn't seem to care, and maintenance is clearly lacking. If you're looking for a place to crash and don't mind the noise or lack of upkeep, it's fine. But if you want a comfortable, well-maintained stay, I'd look elsewhere.

I love love love this hotel. I loved the barbie shadow boxes in the lobby. I loved the decor in the hallways. I loved the pool. I loved the dog area. I loved the hammocks. I loved our two bedroom suite. I loved the snack selection they had in the rooms. "wink wink" I loved the margaritas and especially loved the dial a margarita phone at the pool. I also loved the restaurant and I loved the price. Love love love.

Rad retro rainbow hotel/motel. Great pool. Very "Palm Springs ". I'd love to stay there again. It's not super fancy. I'd even say it's a bit funky but delightful. I don't need full luxury. Great vibe. Lots of kitch. Personality matters to me.

Following up on my previous review... I still stan The Saguaro Hotel. You cannot beat the price or the vibes. If you're looking for a 5 star hotel experience, this isn't for you and there are many other options nearby that you'll appreciate more than this one. However, if you're looking for a good time with a decent room, this is it! Make sure you get a pool view room or a king suite with a patio. Any of the rooms facing west and the pool are amazing. The view is spectacular and the sunset is gorgeous of course. This time around we were on our way home from Las Vegas and decided we weren't ready to go home just yet but also wanted to get out of Vegas after being there for a week so we booked a last minute room on a Sunday around 2pm. At 5pm when we showed up we were greeted by the lovely Alejandro and Luis who were so accommodating and sweet. I had requested a west facing room (specifically 339) but it wasn't available which is understandable since my booking request was so last minute. They ended up upgrading us to a king room with a patio, room 176, which I have to say is also just as amazing as 339. You're close to the lobby and restaurant which I appreciated and it also gave an extra layer of security should anything out of the norm happen. We were also so close to the pool which made bathroom breaks and snack refills easy. No elevator or extra doors required. Just walk straight into your room from the pool. Be sure to book directly through the hotel website because they often have offers such as 25% off, free drink tickets, waved amenity fee.. etc etc.. Again if you're looking for something luxe and over the top, this ain't it. But if you're looking for a good time at a reasonable price, this is it! I've included a few more realistic images to this review. Thanks Saguaro! Thanks Alejandro and Luis! You all always make our stay extra special. Also, 4 stars is not bad. Like a solid 4 is great in my opinion.

This was one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in . Upon arrival, they placed me in a room that was dark and in the corner . When I entered , the lights were on as if someone was just in there. The restroom was dirty/ outdated and there were scuff marks on the walls , and the room did not look clean and or updated . I called the front desk and asked to be moved to a new room which they charged me to do so . The new room was a little more upgraded than the previous room but had a very thick cigarette smoke smell , which I thought I could offset by opening the balcony door but later learned the smell was permanent and seeped into everything including the towels and wash rags. I was so disappointed. After scanning the room, I did a gloss over in the restroom and quickly learned the bathroom had not been cleaned after the previous guest . I found hair in the shower , and splatter on the walls of a "substance". Not sure if it was makeup, blood , or feces . Overall, I would never recommend this establishment to anyone . I stayed for only 8 hours and left way before checkout because I couldn't tolerate the smell. The online pictures are very misleading and had I known that , I would have never booked . The only positive were the restaurant staff from El Jefe . Please do not waste your money

Freddy was the best! The absolute best customer service. He went above and beyond. We will be back simply because of him!

I had my wedding reception at the Saguaro in May and it was perfect! Mark, the event coordinator, was amazing! Planning was low stress and every time we met, he made sure we feeling good about everything. Day of was a breeze. We loved to location and leaned into the rainbow colors of the hotel. We had a blast and people are still talking about how fun it was and how great the food and drinks were. We got the taco bar and had margaritas and sangria as signature drinks. My husband and I stayed on the property for the event, along with many other guests and had an easy stay. Can't recommend enough!

My wife booked this place before I could check the reviews, and this place is a mess. It has some redeeming qualities and a great location, but there was dust and lint from the AC unit all over the bed. Whatever, it happens. So we go to the pool, where some drunkard threw up inside the pool, and it was disgusting. The beds were uncomfortable, the showers run down, and all-in-all, I think travelers would be better off staying at a Motel 6 than the Saguaro.

Stayed for two nights. The pool has a dj Saturday and Sunday that sets a nice vibe. Recommend getting a day bed for the pooo. The pool staff was great and service was top notch. We had Victor and Jose checking on us always asking if things were okay and if we needed anything. They were both very attentive and professional. Poolside nachos were tasty too. We will be back again.

This place is an actual disaster. Spider in the dirty bathtub, random hair on the wall, broken lamps, stains on furniture, the worst pillows ever, a 1+ inch gap under the hotel door, paper thin walls, filthy walls and carpet... Avoid at all costs.

The vibes! It screams Palm Springs with vibrant and multi-colored everything! The beds were comfy, and the staff courteous. It is not the high end 5-star resort feel, so if that's what you want, you probably want to look elsewhere but you're missing out. The drag show on site is fun. The pool area is pretty nice with poolside bar/food which serves above average food/drinks. I would def stay again!

Extremely nervouse to stay here for my bachelorette weekend in a few weeks. After seeing all the horrible reviews I hope it's doesn't ruin the experience for me :(

I stayed at the Saguaro Hotel this past weekend with 2 of my friends. I really wanted to like this place because it looks so cute in pictures. However, I would describe the rooms of this hotel as a motel 6 that was given a landlord special. The rooms are very big but are very bare and empty. The furniture looks like it has been painted a hundred times and the carpet looks like it has never been washed. The air conditioning in the room is not great which is a must when it is 115 degrees outside. The hallways in the hotel are very dirty and hot. There is no AC in the hallway just giant fans. Where the hotel earns some points in the pool. The pool area is nice and we had a really fun time. You can rent day beds and cabanas for $200+ dollars. They also have a bar and servers that will come and take your order. There is no outside food or alcohol allowed. When we went they had a DJ on Saturday from 1-5. It definitely felt like a pool party and had many bachelorette parties there. So if you aren't in to that I would probably suggest staying somewhere else. The water to the pool is not cold it's actually kind of warm which was a bummer. Would I stay here again? Probably not. But I might come by a day pass for the pool if I wanted to party.

Hello Everyone!!!! I am so mad at myself for putting this review off for 3 weeks, but however, life gets in the way... I stayed at this AWESOME CLEAN HOTEL a few weeks ago just for a get away and I have the best time of my LIFE!!!! I came by myself and when I tell you it was LIT, it was lit. This hotel is very very aesthetically pleasing, for all the folks like me, pictures have to be AESTHETICALLY PLEASING. If your looking for that, its here!!! Also, staff are amazing, if your checking in, RANDY is your go to guy, just dont bother him super early in the am, lol. Randy is so personable and very friendly, he listen to your concerns, needs and questions and goes beyond to make you feel comfortable. I had such a great time at this hotel im ready just to come back to Palm Springs just to come back to this hotel. Also, they have a great team of security, Kendell is the head honcho and he helped when I had a situated at the hotel very very quickly and responsive!!! All in all, these people really care about their work ethics and also most important their guest who come visits THE SAGUARO PALM SPRINGS-so check them out!!!! Tell them Nicole sent you!!!!

Clean and fun! I would definitely give this a 5 star but the constant music that played (pretty loud) outside all hours was annoying to say the least. We were a bit sticker shocked with the $42 amenity charge that was an automatic charge for everyone. Our king room was on the 2nd floor by the pool. The grounds are pretty and super colorful. Our bathroom was spotless as was our room. Room service was super fast and delicious! We would stay there again but probably further away from the pool and music.

If you're 21, you will probably have fun here. If you have kids, don't bother. We checked out after an hour when the weekend pool party was a bunch of drunk people exposing themselves when multiple children were in the pool. Also, the room looked nothing like the photos. Tables were stained and everything was just slathered with a layer of bright paint. We will definitely not be back.

I stayed here last weekend for the first time. It was so much fun. The staff was a very friendly and accommodating. Alejandro in particular was ready to remedy any problem that came along. Randy was friendly and had great customer service. Stephanie was patient and answered all my questions through and through. On Saturday, there was a DJ and great service by the pool our waiters Jasury & Javel we're very good as well. It was busy and they still made sure that you knew that they were going to get your order soon. I took my favorite couple with me and it was very special for them. The one problem was that the key card was malfunctioning in the door. It was obvious it was a mechanical error, but everybody was really trying to fix the door. I hope to be coming back here soon.

Our visit to Palm Springs last week was memorable, but unfortunately, our stay at The Saguaro Hotel fell far below expectations. The hotel is very outdated and aged, which wouldn't have been a major issue if it were better maintained. However, it was overall dirty--walkways, elevators, stairs, and both indoor and outdoor areas were either dirty or stained (including bleach stains on our room's carpet). The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars is because of the amazing bartender at El Jefe Restaurant. He was professional, friendly, and polite, making our experience there somewhat enjoyable. Unfortunately, the food at El Jefe was a big disappointment. I ordered Cochinita Pibil and was served greasy tacos that resembled adobada--nothing close to the authentic dish. The food was expensive, flavorless, and underwhelming, and the drinks, while decent, were a bit overpriced. This hotel is in desperate need of an upgrade. For a rate of over $250 a night (plus resort fees and taxes that brought it over $300), the value just isn't there. I was very disappointed, especially since it was my first time visiting Palm Springs. Next time, I'll likely choose a location closer to downtown for a better experience.

I came here for a pool party event over the weekend. As most reviews say, this hotel could really use some updating. The fridge stopped working when we tried to adjust the temperature and it took about three hours for the maintenance person to bring us a new one, which, luckily they did. The ice machine only was working on and off. Our hand soap at the sink wouldn't pump so we had to unscrew the lid and just pour the soap onto our hands. The carpet is quite dingy. But you're coming here for the colorful party vibe so I guess you just have to enjoy that part of it!

Cute entrance and exterior vibe. The staff at the front desk and restaurant were nice and accommodating. The poolside room had no view of the pool blocked by big hedges, the pool area was very dirty trash and some garbage floating in the pool. Lots of deferred maintenance the carpet in our room was shabby but the bed was very comfortable and nice linens. Overall not the best experience we both decided we would not plan a return to that hotel on our next visit. Especially at that price point.

UGH. This place is a dump. I applaud them for trying but ICK. The pool is as ghetto as it gets. We are trying to relax and this crane is drilling all afternoon. #Nightmare

Just came back from a conference at this establishment. All I can say is wow! From start to finish the experience was great! The sales manager Sabrina was so helpful. My event coordinator Lexi, thank you so much for hosting us and being so attentitive to our needs. Our food and beverage guy Marcos was amazing too! Also, shout out to Randy at the front desk for being so friendly and welcoming. He was the cherry on top of our stay. We will definitely be back.

I do not recommend. I booked a king suite with pool view and I was placed in a room with no pool view. The Room was not cleaned or serviced throughout our entire 3 night stay. I left the "please service" signs they provided, contacted the front desk, called housekeeping directly and left a voicemail asking for my room to be cleaned and nothing. Absolutely disappointing. On top of that there is very limited seating in the pool area and we were never Able to find an available pool chair.

Last time I stayed here was about 7 years ago, and returned with some girlfriends this past weekend. Seems they haven't done too much to update the hotel. Positives: - Super cute and colorful; great for photo shoots - Comfortable king beds and fluffy pillows - Decent food and drinks served at the pool (from El Jefe restaurant) - Friendly service; cleaners do their best - The pool is salt water!!! My skin and hair appreciated that! - If you like house music, there's a DJ on Saturdays from 1-5pm. - Pool view rooms are scenic. Negatives: - Sofa beds (futons) are pretty uncomfortable. - Carpet is dingy with stains and cigarette burns. - Pool gets dirty quickly. - Lounge chairs are limited, and they charge extra for Day beds and cabanas. - Our AC wasn't working properly, but a technician fixed it while we were out to dinner. - 10 minute drive to downtown. I still had fun with my friends and the negatives do not deter me from returning. I would just make sure I get a good deal for my room!

Saguaro Hotel is a known hotel in Palm Springs. The bright colors attract tourists from all over and they have a well known presence on social media. However, the hotel is pretty dated so don't expect anything fancy. Check-process was quick and efficient. The front desk employees were kind and informative. Hotel room was clean-- I do recommend requesting rooms away from the elevator and pool if you want a more quiet stay. We stayed in room 382 and it was peaceful. The pool is def a vibe. I think this is the reason why people stay here. The pool bar is quick and make some pretty solid drinks. You are looking at $15 and up per cocktail but the spicy guava and margaritas were great in the dessert heat. We booked a cabana which I recommend on busier weekends so it secures a spot and service. We booked on 4th of July and it was great service. Although getting into the pool it is quite slippery on the steps and could be a serious safety hazard. Overall, a fun spot--lively, great drinks and the restaurant el jefe is pretty solid.

My now husband and I were fortunate enough to have our wedding at The Saguaro and I would 10/10 recommend!!!! All of our guest loved their stay and had the best weekend ever. Of course The Saguaro is brightly colored and made for such a fun, fun wedding! We loved all the color that the location had and the food was so amazing. All of our guest said they had the time of their lives! We also love that this is a dog friendly hotel. We saw lots of pups enjoying their weekends, including our own husky who loved hanging out in the cabana. The cabanas were such an amazing add on to our weekend and really let us relax and enjoy their fun pool. We loved the drag brunch they host on the weekends and were able to see some of the show from our room which was a fun way to start each morning. It does get a little loud for drag brunch so if you're someone who likes it a little quieter, I would visit during the week. Drag brunch is so worth it and such a fun time though so I do recommend going if you have the chance. While we loved absolutely everything about our stay and our wedding, the thing that stands out the most about The Saguaro would have to be their customer service! They were amazing start to finish and we are so so thankful for the friendly and helpful staff at The Saguaro. If you're thinking about having your wedding here, I hope you are fortunate enough to get to work with Mark. We can't say enough good things about Mark as he is absolutely phenomenal and our day would not have been the same without all his support.

I think the service and the place was not the worst. but this place needs a lot of renovations. it was underwhelming. Went for a bachelorette party and the decorations the brides MOH did made the room prettier, but it was just a tad dinky. Even the hotel bar is just small and not much jazz to it.

The idea of this place is so cute. Once you're there it is pretty run down. You have to pay $85 to use their pool robes hanging in the room that has NO SIGN advertising said charge. Also, when you book and see your price, please know they take an additional $150 once you check in for the "amenities". Don't use the toiletries that most hotels give you for free, you will be charged for using those too. Room service is a joke. We spent $70 for taquitos and a soup that wasn't made right.

I think I echo some of the other reviews on Yelp. My girlfriend and I got this hotel from Hotwire for a decent price. The pictures online seemed decent, so we weren't too disappointed by the place until we got there. The hotel staff was very nice. While going to the room, you could see all kinds of scuffs and scraps on the walls leading to the room and the carpet in the hallways needed to be replaced long ago. When we got to our room and there were stains all over the carpets. My girlfriend kept her shoes on the whole time because she didn't want to walk barefoot on the carpet. The lighting in the room is awful. The color scheme is trying to be retro. We had a couple of chairs and a table to sit in while in the room that were very uncomfortable and the outside chairs and table looked like plastic IKEA chairs from a kids set. We both woke up in the morning sore from the bed. Our first morning, we noticed blood on our sheets that was neither of ours. We stripped the bed and put out our "Need Service" indicator and no one came to service the room. We had to call them when we finally got back to the room around 10pm that night and had to wait to get ready to wind down for the night while they changed the room. Again, the lady who came was very apologetic and nice, but this shouldn't have happened in the first place. We were also charged a resort fee of $52.50 a night (total of $105), which we didn't use any of the amenities at the place. That added 33% to the cost of our stay and wasn't communicated when we booked the room. We tried to get a deal, and found a place that we would not stay at again. Again, the staff is very nice and helpful, but this place is run-down and doesn't offer anything worth the price they're asking. I could have gotten the same experience at a Motel 6. We rolled the dice and got what we got for Hotwire, but we'll definitely not be staying here in the future.

We needed a very Palm Springs hotel for our corporate meeting. We visited several locations and found that The Saguaro had everything we were looking for! Great vibe, the perfect meeting room, super cool Cantina bar for our private happy hour events, and excellent service with planning and execution. Thank you Sabrina and Lexi for your amazing attention to detail and excellent execution! Everyone had a fantastic time! And the taco bar lunch was a huge hit!

This was honestly the WORST drag show I've ever been to. All it is, is a money grab. $60 just for seat. They start out by herding you into the bar so you can spend Money on drinks then they herd you into what felt like a meat freezer. Then we were seated so close together we couldn't even move. Like sardines! Entertainment was mediocre, the music was WAY TOO LOUD for the small room, food was awful and the service was shit! Our server was rude and inhospitable. She screwed up the drinks too. AND this is supposed to be an adult only show! There were at least four very young children in attendance. What kind of an idiot parent takes their young children to a show like this? And why were they allowed to attend? Oh yes...because it's all about the money. I brought a large group to this show and I will NEVER do it again. So disappointing. Needless to say...what a horrible experience!!

TLDR; -stay here if you have a dog bigger than 20ish lbs with you -stay here if you are in palm springs for a good time NOT a long time -stay here if you don't care about a LUXURY experience, just a place to lay your head at night Alright, you gotta have an open mind and come here knowing what you're going to get. At one of the lowest price points to stay in a prime area, this is no luxury stay okay? Plus, it's where a massive summer pool party festival happens, I wouldn't invest in expensive furniture for a party hotel capital either. This place gets 4 stars from me because they excelled for the reasons I decided to stay here. context: we only needed a one night stay because we came there for BOOZEHOUNDS for our dog's birthday. Our dog is a German Shepherd. this place is a bang for your buck for a SHORT STAY. Especially if you're traveling with a dog. It's dog-friendly. You just pay an extra free. it was clean for us, didn't feel dirty. we didn't shower here though lol we were just cautious of other reviews PLUS the sink got clogged and would swell up with water that took several minutes to drain.... but not a good sign to shower. lol we definitely inspected the beds before sleeping in them - they were clean though. the other reviews are right, this place is like an old motel that just got painted pretty colors. they provide slippers for you to wear around under the sink- a few reviews called the floors questionable and we agree with them! we wouldn't walk around barefoot. this gets 4 stars because we personally didn't have any issues and had a great weekend while staying there. the people in the front desk were really nice. there was a drag brunch happening all mornings of the weekend we were there, looked fun!! overall, we would stay again for a short weekend getaway.

The experience was more than amazing. Super nice place to stay , the staff are friendly and the colors og the hotel is outstanding Definitely recommend

We recently stayed over a weekend in March. The hotel was overall interesting, fun, and weird. It has an old 50s art deco vibe. It was a party scene when we were there but not too crazy. We brought our toddler who enjoyed the pool and vibrant colors. The restaurant had great tacos and breakfast in the morning. Be aware that this is a party scene at the pool so if that's not your cup of tea you may want to stay at a more chill spot. There was a drag queen show on Sunday and the music was loud and competing with additional music at the pool. Unfortunately EMTs came out one day for a medical emergency and that didn't stop the music and party. The pool was warm and had two hot tubs. In march it wasn't too busy so we easily found chairs. Both hot tubs were large and we even went at night. Across the street had a shopping center and a pizza place. The gym was large and had all the equipment needed. The price was reasonable, however take note for the taxes, resort fee, and $75 dollar per night refundable deposit. The fees were shown on Expedia except for the deposit. My friends booked a room through another travel site and the fees were not disclosed. The front desk staff when we first checked in were not very friendly, however later in the stay they were very pleasant. Depending on where you booked they should give you a free margarita. The room had a mini fridge that was stocked with alcohol for a fee. We had a little extra room to store our leftovers. The colors in the room were very vibrant, ours was orange and yellow! No microwave, however the room was very large so it gave us a little extra room for activities. There was two bathrobes that was convenient for walking to the pool, especially in the cool desert nights. Overall 4 stars, a little pricey, but fun and good food. I can see how this place may get wild during Coachella.

It's dirty. And looks nothing like advertised. Front desk staff was kind and welcoming. Just not a clean place to stay. Carpeted floors that have stains all over them.

We're here for Splash House and Maria helped us get a great balcony room with a great view of the stage. So freakin' stoked to be here. Love The Saguaro!

After having issues with multiple different hotels, checking into the saguaro was very easy. We paid online and checked in a few mins after. Incidental deposit: $75 each night Amenities fee: $98.02 Online the hotel was average price. $360 for two nights. But to find out we had to pay the amenities fee for god knows what makes it way over $400. I have a bone to pick with how shady that felt. We did not use any pool, gym, wifi, restaurant, spa, bikes and whatever else. The only "amenity" would be parking? The hotel itself to me seems like a 2 star place. It is an old holiday inn that was redone. The lobby is deceiving how nice it is! The rooms were needless to say, dirty for the price. Bathroom: hair in the shower, broken shower head, no proper drainage (probably clogged), broken vanity light, dirty towels Hallway: Broken deadbolt lock on door, dirty walls Technology: Standard tv with no smart functions, cannot connect to Netflix, Bluetooth etc, lights have mismatched colors, neither bedside outlets work Room: dirty walls, stained tables, coffee grounds all over desk Balcony: Balcony light broken, kept turning on and off randomly Just typing all this stuff is making me upset. The workers there are so so nice and kind that I wish the hotel would reflect better. The reality is that this place is not maintained well and everything is super dingy. When we tried to get ice none of the ice makers in the hallways worked at all either!

The ambiance of this hotel is unique and fun! Love the bright colors, the vibe was just perfect! The music at the pool is chill and the drinks are flowing from the bar! The mojito is delicious, and even the non-alcoholic piña colada is flavorful. And...The authentic piña colada is so good too! The beds are very comfortable, but the walls are thin, bring your earplugs. Water pressure is ok, and the rooms are clean overall.

Great service, friendly and attentive bartender and waitstaff. Hand crafted cocktails were refreshing and tasty. Queso fundido was delicious. Sad we couldn't stay longer.

The El Jefe Cantina is being... wait. What? Closed down and renovated...? Let me guess? Mid Century Modern but expensive reproduction with fake props like modern art coffee table books and vintage but not for use ashtrays and lamps to create that all pervasive and frankly sickening overuse of mid century modern redux design...like the newer bar restaurant El Jefe? Looks beauteous...like Design (not) Within Reach meets The new improved ACE Hotel Cocktail Bar right up the road? The Ace: young hip as well as older families and couples chasing a memory or otherwise well-heeled tourists who don't have memories and legit taste or knowledg to love what already is. They are learning... Palm Springs younger hip tourists? They don't know that the Ace diner was once a Denny's and before that the Howard Johnson's was the real deal former ACE...I was a kid there swimming in that pool and drinking HoJo's Shirley Temples with my dad ( he drank several nice single malt scotches...in the old old old cocktail bar...cool memory now long gone). That's Life, as Sinatra sang... An aside: The Ace was a cool place for a long time...ok that happens. Hotels evolve and change...Great hotels do not become a Disney ride for tourists. I have evolved and changed too...The best restaurants and bars and hotels stay true and pivot as necessary, but never alienate or even disappoint those original customers...the ones, like my dad who visited regularly...But the new owners and operators of The Saguaro are in fact The Line Hotel corporation from K-Town in LA ...that's a different review altogether and not that 100% wonderful either it turns out...I stayed there in LA last Xmas for 3 nights. I was not a satisfied customer then either. Why? I will tell you in a post I will surly write of Xmas '24 at The Line in Korea Town Los Angeles... Back to The Saguaro. Very cool hotel that had been there for all for many years...Hey Line Hotel Shot Callers: Please do not change the decor and the vibe of The El Jefe Cantina. I think you might one day thank me for the advice...Otherwise known by locals and return customers alike as: That small OG Hotel Cantina El Jefe at The Saguaro. Just clean it up a little and staff it properly and do not close up this gem to guests and scheduled events in that bitchen old and cozy bar. Let your customers enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner and nightcaps in there... Open it to the guests who booked here because of the original El Jefe. I did, and stated it with a big smile while checking in...The Cantina was/is darkened, there were stacks of guests' unclaimed suitcases being stored in the old bar. Water was available, but one was not really supposed to enter or in any way even tour the Cantina. I came here to relax for 10 days, kind of a long stay, sit by the pool, and especially drink great cocktail(s)and eat in that really neato Cantina tequila bar, and to hang out at the hotel in which I am booked, because I thought I could. Turns out Corporate has other ideas. ( I was told with a depreciating smile by night manager) "new and exciting ideas for The Saguaro!"....not so welcoming to this return customer...They closed the Cantina off to guests during all hours just because? The manager blocked the lobby entrance with nice chuncky old bar stools? They sure did do that... The street door is just locked. I can't just hang out at the sweet and absolutely way more legit of the two establishments on site? Sad. I really loved the day staff- so cool. Especially the new restaurant 's and bar day staff. Very kind and helpful...The night management of the Saguaro? Evasive, embarrassed, defensive, and blatantly ageist, sexist, and the worst? To me? They, the evening Manager in charge when I was blocked from entering the lobby entrance to the Cantina. They educated me that the"fun is now in the new recently "improved" other el jefe restaurant and bar and that will be fun, too, no? Then basically in so many many words, I was schooled by them and their polite, maybe embarrassed but dismissive young barkeep to just you know, embrace the "new" vibe. Then I tried. I bought, was not offered, a lovely skinny marg...and then...kinda snubbed. News: This hotel was the new vibe for me. I'm here to relax and enjoy all that this fine establishment has to offer- especially the sweet El Jefe...now it's El Jefe light for tourists and not locals or woman of an age just trying to find relevant legit long term accommodation and entertainment all in one place, and happy to pay more if offered something real not contrived to please. Sadly that is no longer The Saguaro Swim Club and more exact the El Jefe...the writing is on the wall. ( or the new #midcentmod...)Think I'll head to The Marriott or that little old place still keeping it real in Indio and embrace the new Palm Springs and Do it My Way thank you...Bye Bye El Jefe...my bad. I guess this mid century artifact is no longer Queen or King...just old and no longer relevant...

We had a great time at the Drag Brunch show for my daughters birthday . The show was a lot of fun with the various artist - Kiki , Morgan Jasmine were amazing.

Pretty disappointed. I don't think it's worth it for the price. It was almost $800 for two nights with taxes and fees. The pictures online and the lobby are pretty deceiving to the rest of the hotel. It is very outdated and needs some work done. The room was a little dirty... there were stains on the carpet and headboard. I wouldn't walk around with no shoes or socks here. The snack bar had expired food so check the date if you want to buy something. Also, our AC unit would constantly make this loud noise and started leaking water on our second night. I didn't feel totally comfortable throughout our stay. Other than that, most of the staff were pretty nice.
