The V Palm Spring is basically a renovated old motel, meaning some aspects of the hotel are beautiful and others still appear to have that old motel feel. I was here for a wedding. Upon my arrival, I wasn't given a map, but was walked outside of check-in to point at things to show me approximately where my room was and where to park. Neither of which was helpful. When I asked for a map I was told there wasn't one. So, I wandered around in the direction pointed and came across a "security guard." I asked her if she knew where my room was and she told me she didn't work for the hotel, but rather the property and since she had just started a couple of days ago, she didn't really know anything.
Once I located my room right across from one of the pools, I also found some parking nearby, went back to the front retrieved my car and proceeded to drive all the way around the hotel to get the spot nearest my room. The room itself was nice. A bit dark, but there is a dresser with two robes, a desk, a fairly comfortable bed and a large bathroom. There were however a handful of issues. At some point there must have been a power outage and the clock in my room was not reset before my visit. I attempted to reset it. I now understand why it wasn't reset. It was oddly difficult, and I ended up giving up and asking housekeeping to do it. (Which by the way never happened.) The shower wasn't draining and I showered with water up to my ankles. The power in the bathroom wouldn't work and since all the mirrors were in the bathroom it made it particularly difficult to get ready and blow dry my hair.
I did report all the issues to the hotel, and the drain and the power were fixed by the second day. My room was comped for the first night, so while both were a huge inconvenience, I'm at least glad I didn't pay for it. If you're here for the pool, you'll enjoy a room right next to it. Because you'll hear everything happening in the pool area. But if you're not, say you're stay in Palm Springs has a different purpose than lounging at the pool all day, you will find the noise annoying. However, the air conditioning unit is very loud so you might be able to drown out the noise of the pool with the noise of the air conditioning.
