The Saguaro Palm Springs

About a decade ago, this hotel was renovated and made a splash with its bright colors and modern design. I've stayed here quite a few times over the years because it's close to my family's condo and is reasonably priced. While it was never amazing, it was perfectly fine with a fun pool scene, cool design, friendly staff and spacious, if minimalist, guestrooms.||This year, I'm kind of shocked by the condition of the hotel. It's in sore need of a total refresh with chipped flooring, rusted fences, dirty chaise lounge frames, stained chaise lounge covers, threadbare towels at the pool, a closed pool bar, dirty hallway rugs, sun-faded balcony furniture and a general sense of neglect. It almost seems that they're just letting things go so they can sell the place.||If you're looking for a fairly inexpensive place to sleep (beds are comfortable and shower works fine) with a decent pool and hot tubs, it's okay, but the declining condition is pretty depressing.

Positive: The ONLY good thing was the gentleman at the front desk. He was kind, helpful and knowledgeable. Bartender and front desk girls were rude, unhelpful and front desk girl double charged our fees and hotel charge. Negative: This hotel is disgusting/dirty. Carpets in the lobby are worn & dirty, hallway floors outdoors are sticky and filthy. The lobby & rooms are bare bones and resemble a dorm rather than a hotel. I wouldn’t swim in that pool if you paid me. Blue+Yellow=Green

What a great hotel! Lealani at the front desk was super helpful our entire stay. Room was super clean and the pool or even just walking around was really great. Loved the borrow a bike amenity too. They put so much thought into the design and amenities and the staff are all super friendly and helpful. I loved staying here. I made the mistake of staying at The Renaissance once and it was awful and unclean but I was so glad Seguaro was a completely different experience and was a 10 out of a 10 for me! Pup loved it here too by the way and the doggie bag stations were great to be able to use! Saw other cute pups during our stay too! But seriously please tell Lealani we said thank you for making our stay a breeze!

Came for the drag brunch. The queens were beautiful, the performance was great, and the crowd's energy was wild. The people made it a positive experience, but there could be a lot of areas for improvement from the venue. - Price point is high at ~$94 per person (excluding tips) and it only includes one entree plus bottomless mimosas with cheap bubbly. Appetizers and dessert (only churros on the menu) cost extra. They could at least give everyone complimentary churros. - I know no one goes to a drag brunch for the food, but the food really could use improvement. The additional side of shishito peppers was smothered in too much sauce. The avocado toast with eggs looks like a college student's quick-and-easy breakfast. The chicken Caesar salad had a sufficient protein portion, but otherwise was just a small bowl of creamy lettuce, a few carrot shavings, and 2 pieces of hard bread. - Blue acrylic plates/bowls felt like fast food. - The server did a good job of refilling the sparkling wine bottles, but the juice (orange, pineapple, cranberry) was only offered at the beginning. - The staff mentioned earplugs were available but never came around to check or ask if anyone wanted it. The room is small, it got extremely loud, and I left with a headache and my ears ringing. I did love the quick intros with the shout-outs to guests who were celebrating a bachelorette or birthday. The queens are charismatic and did a good job with improv.

Mother of the Groom here. We were at The Saguaro for our son and daughter-in-law's New Year's Eve wedding. Despite the rainy weather, it was just perfect. Mark Tinor was so great to work with. He made on-the-fly adjustments and set up a tent and provided umbrellas for the guests. Prior to the wedding, he assisted us in securing an early check-in and during the reception he regularly checked in to make sure we were pleased with the food and service. And the food was SO GOOD; among the best I've ever had at a wedding reception! The front desk staff was pleasant and helpful. When we needed a bit of assistance setting up the reception room, the front desk immediately dispatched a handman to help us out. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. I highly recommend The Saguaro as a wedding or vacation destination.

We got married at The Saguaro on New Years Eve and it was an absolute blast! The venue is so fun, the ceremony and reception spaces were perfect, and the staff were amazing. Mark, the event manager, was super attentive and easy to work with. He helped us make some last minute changes due to weather and was cool throughout it all! And the bartender Ramon is the ultimate wedding bartender. The drinks were fire and flowing, and it was like he was part of the party! Those two especially helped make our wedding the party of the year, and the entire staff was super friendly and helpful as well. The restaurant El Jefe is a great spot for dinner and drinks, and the pool and hot tubs are the place to be all day. Can’t wait to come back next time we’re in town!

I stayed at The Saguaro Palm Springs hotel last weekend, from Friday night through Sunday morning. The evening after checking out, I realized I had left my toothbrush along with my shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom of my room. I called the hotel on Monday morning to report the items. I was told by the front desk that Room 218 had not yet been cleaned, so nothing had been reported as found, and I was advised to call back the following day. When I called again yesterday, I was transferred to housekeeping, where no one answered and no one returned my call. Since I was already traveling for business, I decided to stop by the hotel in person on my way back to follow up. At that point, I was told the room had been cleaned and that a new guest was now staying there, and that nothing had been reported as found. I asked if I could at least view the Lost and Found items myself, but I was not allowed to do so and was told that only housekeeping handles that. As a last effort, I spoke directly with someone from housekeeping. After they spoke with a supervisor, I was again told that nothing had been found. I mentioned that I had also left a red shampoo and conditioner, only to be told yet again that nothing had been recovered. What I find extremely concerning is that the staff member specifically referred to my toothbrush as “electric.” I never once stated that it was an electric toothbrush, yet she somehow knew this detail. I have since checked and completely emptied all of the bags I had with me during my stay. The toothbrush, shampoo, and conditioner are absolutely nowhere to be found. I am 100% certain these items were left in the bathroom of the hotel room. It is incredibly disheartening and upsetting to feel that items left behind by paying guests may simply be kept by housekeeping and then denied when asked about. While these items may not be expensive, that does not excuse the situation. If this is how small, everyday items are handled, it is frankly alarming to think about what would happen if something truly valuable were left behind. Because of this experience, I will never be booking a stay at this hotel again. And while I had already been disappointed by other aspects of the property: including peeling paint in the room, an unpleasant odor on the first floor, and a generally dingy appearance that does not match the photos online. Those issues were unpleasant but tolerable. Keeping hotel guests' personal items, however, is completely unacceptable and crosses a line. I expected better professionalism and honesty than what I experienced.

Genuinely shocked this has a 4.0 average. The pictures of the lobby and pool are cute. In reality, there is no staff, no supplies and the rooms are filthy. The only service we got to our room was new towels. No cleaning, no new cups (called the front desk and they said they didn’t have anyone to bring them), tiles are missing and peeling, pool chairs are so dirty you need two (ancient and dirty) towels to cover them. The WiFi barely works, all three ice machines I found were out of order. All of this would honestly be fine for a $50 a night motel but when you spend $1k to spend a long weekend it’s honestly ridiculous.

Visited The Saguaro Palm Springs in the winter and stayed for one night while in town for a long weekend bachelorette party. It is a large hotel, almost more of an upscale motel, with a fun, colorful design and lots of open space throughout the property. It was under $200 for one night. The room was spacious and clean, and the pool area is extensive. I imagine it would be especially lively and enjoyable in the warmer months. I also used the fitness facility, which was better than expected and well maintained. The hotel is conveniently located close to the airport, about a seven-minute drive. Breakfast is not included with the stay, but I did eat at the restaurant and enjoyed my meal. Overall, this is a good option in Palm Springs, especially for group trips or weekend getaways, and I would definitely stay here again.

I highly recommend this hotel for family, fun and enjoyment restaurants galore with lots of fun events and bikes ready to go. I want to give a special thanks to Hugo, who has gone above and beyond with his customer service. If it wasn't for him, they wouldn't have gotten a 5 star review! Make sure to stop by El jefe and enjoy the best coffee I've had in a while!!

Wow! So on line I read that one must watch your credit card billing the day after you leave as they often falsely charge you for refrigerator snacks... And they Did I was charged $15 extra on my card the following day. Also my carpet was filthy , and the little furnishings in the room were cheaper than IKEA. I've stayed here a half dozen times in the last five years and will NOT RETURN.... Building, room, amenities all run down, & the credit card theft is the last straw... ST

I booked a day pass via the Resort Pass app, and the confirmation details clearly stated that check-in would be at the pool area on Friday through Sunday. So, when I walked in, I immediately found the pool. Still, there was no check-in area, and the gate was unlocked, so I just walked in, and no one asked me for identification. You're welcome to walk in here for free -no questions asked.This is one of the signs that this is truly a 3-star hotel. In other hotels they are sure to give you a chip card or a bracelet to identify you as a Resort pass guest . The lobby is well-maintained; I have not visited the rooms since I only stayed here for the day. The pool area is very much alive, with lots of people, and a DJ was playing from 11 am to 5 pm. At first, I was excited to be here for a "pool party," but this was not what I expected at all. No one was dancing, and actually, the music was bad. The whole point of vacationing in Palm Springs is to enjoy the quiet, calming atmosphere of the mountains and the desert , but the DJ worrying it. This isn't Vegas. Additionally, the guests at this hotel may not be of the same caliber as those at fancy hotels, so if you're not comfortable around people with numerous tattoos and piercings, you may not feel at ease. If you are looking to associate with more high class people, try and book the Paseo Hotel in Palm Desert. I've been there before; the population was more upscale. Parking: Lots of complimentary self-parking. The bathroom could use more attention. Papers on the floor, sink looking dirty. See pics. Pool: A large pool, but not extremely clean. If you don't book a daybed, no server will approach you. You will have to stand in line at the bar. Even though Resort Pass says that the hotel does not offer towels and guests should bring their own, there were plenty of towels available.

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.

Check was efficient and pleasant. Staff is nice and lots of smiles. Liz at the restaurant was top notch customer service really knows how to speak with customers and makes u feel appreciated. Our room is by the pool things seem to be seamless here and life is good. It's almost 10pm you can only hear the birds chirping and the balmy palm trees swaying gently high above.

I'm honestly shocked to read some of the negative reviews for this hotel. I had quite the opposite experience here but then again I don't base my reviews on complaints alone. I'm a let's look at the bright side of life, call it toxic positivity if you like but it's helped me get through the worst of times. My friend and I arrived too early so we thought we would give early check-in a shot. The young lady at the front desk noticed the large drops of sweat rolling down our forehead and quickly took my friends information to check us in. We practically ran to our room since the weather was a spicy 112 degrees that day. The room itself was very cool! It was ice cold once we stepped inside! We brought our own snacks but the mini refrigerator is full of bevs and snacks as well. After cooling down in the room for a few hours we walked over to the pool. It was pretty festive that week-end so I didn't feel like dipping my body into a crowded pool but to each their own. We picked a spot by the fence because there was some appetizing misters happening there. I honestly almost fell into a slumber thanks to these misters, it felt so good! Make sure you bring your own towel or robe from the room because pool towels get taken quick. After a lively night of club and bar hoping in the downtown area my friend and I spent the entire next day in bed. We ordered wingstop, watched Pirates of the Caribbean and just napped all day! I haven't slept that good in ages. The bed and pillows are so comfortable you honestly won't want to leave. During our stay we did visit the hotel restaurant, El Jefe. It's hard to impress valley girls born and raised in the 818 with tacos but we decided to give it a chance. This is were I do get a little more critical because I just love to eat, and I LOVE tacos. I ordered three carne asada tacos to try. The carne asada tacos took me back to when my dad would buy pre-marinated meat from the Vallarta supermarket on Vineland. Way too seasoned for my liking, I love tasting the natural meat taste when I bite into a simple carne asada taco but sadly the meat is overpowered by the spices. The limes did not make this any better and they were absurdly overpriced for tacos. I would highly recommend stepping out for dinner when staying here as the menu needs to be revised. Overall my stay at the Saguaro was absolutely relaxing. The heat could never ruin my aura. Thank you for the cozy times and sweet melodies!

After seeing this hotel on Instagram for years and admiring the well-staged photos, my friend and I came for a girls weekend getaway in Palm Springs. I was SHOCKED and felt lied to upon stepping on the property. The outside is so cute, the lobby is nice, but the rooms are AWFUL. Our room was towards the back of the property so we had to enter through a back door. We were immediately hit with heat inside the hallway. I don't know if they don't have AC in the hallways or if it was just out that weekend, but it was unpleasant. Okay yes, it was 110* outside so I wasn't expecting it to be cold inside, but certainly much cooler. It was probably 90* just in the hall. To add to it, the hallway was creepy! Okay, there's no way the room can be worse than the hallways. Nope! The room was worse. Stepping in I was expecting to see the cute, well staged rooms they so proudly display on their website and social media. It felt dirty. We sat our stuff on the bed and as I was walking by mine I hit my leg on a piece of metal sticking out of the bedframe (see photo). Ouch! The room was extremely warm, so we put on the AC. I am not kidding, it took 6 HOURS for the room to finally cool off. We walked to the pool to find some relief from the heat- nope! The pool was hot and the water was slimey! Yes, slimey!!!!!!!!! It was like the pool filters were off or not working. We stayed for maybe 5 minutes and went back to the hot, humid room. Okay, time to take a shower and cleanse myself of the pool slime. Well, the bathroom was gross too. It was clear their "remodel" was just painting over old shit. The cherry on top was that the shower drain cover was off to the side, so I could see the drywall. LOL! That's exactly what I want to see while showering. It became clear why they don't have many photos of the bathrooms online. I didn't get a photo of it but around 9pm we noticed our door had a huge gap at the bottom. Likely 1.5-2". We could hear EVERYTHING going on in the hallways as we were in bed 20+ feet away from the door. So if we could hear them, I'm sure everyone in the hallways could hear us. I will never return to, or recommend, The Saguaro. This property felt like staying at The Circus Circus in Las Vegas. Dirty, outdated in the rooms, and unsafe. We would have complained to the front desk but honestly we felt so unsafe it wasn't worth leaving the room and letting others know two women were staying here alone.

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..

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Even after the renovations, this place is dated and really just a place to sleep. Sure there's a big pool and party area in the atrium but you're going to pay $40/night "amenities fee" for what amounts to a 1960s era outdoor pool. Just be aware you're being charged extra for what is included at 90% of hotels anywhere else.

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!

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 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!

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.

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.

Your typical Desert Hotel making use of bright colors, local flora and that Swingers 70's vibe. Fairly modern amenities for the price. Issues with key cards. Service was pretty good, specifically Patrick who told us of the local spots to hit, not the tourists traps. Obviously they can't stack up to big food hubs, but some of these snowbirds bring back some culture and class when they return, lifting up everyone from an otherwise bland landscape. Get a balcony'd room facing the sunset, trust me. Mediocre onsite dining, good parking. Generally a clean room and an easy check in/check out. I was here for Bartenders weekend so we got buck. I felt bad for anyone not here for it because of all the shenanigans. A 24 hour party across the entire property. More mardi gras than spring break and more alcohol than both. A lot of doordash and uber eats since onsite wasn't really built for us. I'll gladly come again.

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.

I've always loved this place but as I've gotten older I've realized it was just the pool parties I loved and the good music. I came here recently and realized how dirty the pool is I didn't even want to go in it no matter how hot it was (109) my husband and I still had a good time BUT come the end of the night we wanted some ice cream. The kitchen closes at 10:00 we called at 9:45 and tried to order some room Service of JUST ICE CREAM which all it takes is a scoop! A scoooop! To make a couple happy. They refused and said no! That is not good service and I've realized this place has reviews based on events versus SERVICE!

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

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.

This is my second visit. This place is just so colorful and fun it's hard to resist. Check in late in the evening but the girl that helped was friendly but maybe a little to soft spoken? It was hard to hear especially with the bar right there. But it was relatively fast and easy. On this visit, I was able to enjoy the hot tub and pool in the evening. I would of loved to be able to sit out during the day but maybe another visit. Our room overlooked the pool and was clean. Now for this place being as expensive (comparably) and busy, it does have a run down look to it that I find unacceptable. There are places around the hotel where the carpet needs to be thoroughly cleaned or replaced. Same with the walls and floors. Nothing new laminate or a fresh coat of paint couldn't fix. I don't understand why it looks this way? I would stay here again though, I just love the colors and the vibe.

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!!

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.

This hotel was dirty! From the entrance to the rooms, this includes the pool area and the spa! The spa area is located in the basement and it smells like the sewer is right next to it. The front desk staff was great! A learned a big lesson, yelp before I book!
