The Skylark - a Palm Springs Hotel

We booked the Superior Room which we were extremely disappointed with, as this room had not been updated. We thought the Superior Room would be better than the Deluxe Room, however we were mistaken, and it was the Deluxe Room that had been fully renovated. The furnishings in the room were OK, the bed was very comfortable, however the bathroom was dingy, the shower was small and cave-like and there was no counter space in the bathroom to place your medicine bag. The advertised blackout blinds were ineffective, especially as the rooms all face the 24 hour pool. The rooms didn't have keycard access and still took a physical key, which is annoying to carry around. We were also disappointed that the pool bar was not open all weekend during our stay, due to being understaffed. There was a bar at the front of the building that you could purchase from and staff would bring it out to you by the pool. However, this was a bit awkward, as you had to walk to the bar, in your bathing suit, whilst patrons from outside the hotel were in everyday clothes. The breakfast was underwhelming and staff were inattentive to the buffet and food and coffee quickly ran out. There were also no lighter breakfast options, such a fruit, yogurt or juice. This hotel photographs well, but feels a little cheap in person. There are better hotels in the area for similar price.

Our second trip to the skylark with a resort pass. It’s very relaxing, quiet, music not over baring. Every time we have gone on a Sunday we have had the pool almost to ourselves. There is a good little cafe which has many options. We brought a small sitting float to use which was nice. Water and ice available for you. Towels available need to leave Drivers License. Bathrooms are the cleanest I’ve seen. This is our go to Sunday funday spot. Customer service was very friendly and accommodating.

The Skylark Motel is a charming gem in a perfect Palm Springs location—close to everything yet peaceful and relaxing. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the beds are great, and the stylish mid-century vibe adds to its appeal. The wonderful proprietor made us feel right at home with warm hospitality and helpful tips. Best of all, the pool and hot tub are beautifully maintained and open 24 hours, making it easy to unwind any time. We loved our stay and would absolutely come back!

Scott & Lexi made our stay comfortable. Loved the pool, the view of the brown mountain & overall vibe of this hotel. Breakfast could be a little more diverse, but overall it’s a winner👍👍

What a fantastic hotel! There is no doubt you are in Palm Springs the moment you pull in and see that Skylark sign and the cool retro vibe of the property. The grounds are open and beautifully landscaped. The room was large and comfortable with great amentities. The on-property restaurant had a great breakfast and dinner, too. The hotel is in a great location--not far from downtown and easy to get to from the Interstate. The staff was helpful and gave some great recommendations for local shopping and restaurants. I highly recommend this hotel!

This is a remodeled 1950s hotel that is very cute and quaint, located in the Movie Colony area. There is a nice restaurant on the property, which makes it wonderful to run down and get a latte in the morning and grab a quick bite. At night the restaurant has outdoor seating and totally fills up. I really enjoyed staying there and would definitely go back.

This hotel is such a vibe! Staff is friendly, the breakfast was good, and the rooms are simple but clean and efficient. Did not use the pool but it looked great. It also has a bit of a retro vibe that seems very fitting to Palm Springs. It is also affordable, so I definitely recommend it!

My daughter and I had a great stay at the Skylark! Very clean room. Quiet. Wonderful location and the free parking was a bonus. Our room was spacious and we enjoyed the hot tub right outside our door. Great for walking. Would definitely stay again. |Only complaint is the $25 “resort fee.” Not really a resort, especially when it was so windy. It’s a motel pool, not a water park!
