Best Western Plus Palm Desert Resort

“Great room, facility, location and crew.”

I booked it by mistake, but glad I did. It was a very nice facility in a very nice area, surrounded by places to eat and shop. Access to the airport was easy and close by Seattle standards. The people were helpful and nice. The rooms were nice, and everything worked as expected. Breakfast was typical BWPlus fare but cooked to order quickly, hot, and fresh. The breakfast crew never missed a beat when a tour group came in.

This property is spread out over 4 buildings (the main lobby/breakfast area building and three 2/3 story buildings. Our room was on the 3rd floor overlooking a small courtyard area and a very short walk to the pool. A standard King room, it had a large closet with safe, a refrigerator, single cup coffee maker, a microwave, a large Smart TV (so bring your passwords if you want to log into your accounts!), a desk area, a small couch, a tub/shower combo and a large vanity area. There was also a balcony with 2 chairs and a table. Ice machine on 1st and 2nd floors. The pool is quite a nice size (I was able to swim laps early in the morning) and has two round tables, plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas, with restrooms just outside the pool area on both sides, as well as an ice machine. Breakfast is 7-10 AM and there is cold cereal, fruit, yogurt with all the toppings, and white/wheat bread as well as juice and coffee. While this is the first BW I've stayed at without the waffle maker, this property offers "made-to-order" breakfasts - eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon, hash browns. Nice option - hot and fresh! Overall, this property is a good value and we found it to be quiet and peaceful. It does have a little bit of age to it, and there are some small things that could be done to spruce it up a bit - - some of the chairs around the pool are worn out (but the umbrellas appear to be newer), and some things in the room are loose (the faucet, the towel bar). Little things that wouldn't take much to fix. As far as the amenities, we used the pool every day (although everyone did get chased out by the wind one afternoon!), the WiFi was quite stable and the large Smart TV had a large selection of channels, including premium channels you could log into. There was a fitness center, although I did not make it there. The property is within walking distance to several fast/casual restaurants as well as a grocery store across the street. We found this property to be nicely located and a good value. Room tip: As for a room away from the road and preferably facing the courtyard/pool area. There is also a tennis court at the back of the property.

My daughter and I stayed here on our girls trip and we thought it was a fabulous hotel. It was the perfect combination of price and value. We weren't planning on spending too much time in our room so we didn't want to spend too much, yet wanted a clean, nice space to sleep. The beds were comfy and the pillows are very thick which doesn't work when someone like me likes a super flat pillow but they did bring me the flattest pillows they had available and that worked fine. We had a room on the 3rd floor with a balcony view out back over the tennis courts and it was SO pretty. The mountain view was just stunning, we loved that. Some rooms have courtyard views, and pool views but we were very happy with our mountain view. The rooms have a mini fridge and coffee maker. We used the pool once and it was lovely. One of the hotel highlights is the breakfast! It is made to order along with pastries and oatmeal and yogurt bar with toppings! The made-to-order consists of bacon, eggs any style, hash browns and pancakes and you can have whatever combination of that. The chefs and the staff that clean the tables all work very hard and I think this is such a great perk for this hotel.
