See you again!

My one small tiff was that the patio lights do not turn off. Blackout curtains did most of the trick but if your sensitive bring a sleep mask and all is fine. Comfy stay, cute rooms and great staff. See you again!

Cute boutique hotel in the desert

Hotel was super cute and boutique like, great location in Indian wells. Pool and restaurant are the main attractions as it’s pretty tiny. Rooms are decorated well but a couple things were dirty like the couch. We also didn’t receive the turndown service like they had mentioned. Some water would have been nice. Overall fun instagram vibes hotel but not overly luxurious.

I am stunned by my experience at this hotel. Chilled bubbles waiting for me to enjoy in the big soaking tub and on my private patio?! Attentive staff bringing cocktails to me as I bake in the sun poolside?! Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes. I will come here as often as I can manage.
