My stay at Desert Vacation Villas in Palm Springs was a mixed bag. The size of the two-bedroom unit was great for my family, but the decor felt really outdated and I couldn't shake the musty smell when the AC was off. The staff, especially Vivian, were friendly and helpful, making my stay more bearable despite the issues.

I enjoyed my stay overall, especially valuing the spaciousness of the two-bedroom unit and the superb mountain views.

Additionally, I found some areas in need of a refresh, which made me feel the hotel could benefit from more updates.
