The room was clean and adequate. The closet was just a coat rack but there was a double sink so plenty of room to wash up and get ready. Beds were clean and comfortable. There are not enough good things to say about The Reef. The tropical tiki drink menu is extensive and has a very inviting atmosphere. The bar staff is very friendly. I’m very picky of Mai tais and there’s was perfection. I also had chips and salsa (salsa was spicy but not overly so). The blue cheese burger was phenomenal and the accompanying fries were perfectly done. Will definitely make this a stop every time I go to Palm Springs. I would also stay at the hotel again as it is centrally located.

4.0 / 10.0

Really enjoy this tiki gem. Probably my tenth stay. Very convenient, affordable, with a nice pool, and tiki bar (The Reef).

4.0 / 10.0

I love staying here - it is very old school Tiki Palm Springs! The rooms are comfortable and clean, although could use some updating. The restaurants and bars have great selections and the staff is helpful. Small but practical fitness center. It would be nice if the breakfast restaurant would open at 8 every day instead of just on weekends.

5.0 / 10.0

Exceptionally friendly staff, room was clean and comfortable, pool was perfect (clean, heated, big enough to accommodate everyone). This adorable hotel is close enough to downtown to be convenient while still being quiet and easy to get to

The room was really run down and super creepy place .

The room had issues with getting hot water on Friday and Saturday and our cable TV wasn’t working on Friday but both were eventually fixed. Other than this, the staff was amazing and friendly.

Staff was wonderful! Pool, spa and outdoor area were very nice. The room looked and felt like it hadn’t been updated since 1970. The room description and pictures had the same layout but no updates. I reserved a double queen suite and the hotel staff said none of those rooms have been updated and the hotel was no responsible for images posted by third party booking sites. I would NEVER have paid what I did for the room. The tv didn’t work, bathroom fixtures falling off, grossly stained carpet. Mildew smell. Wish I could get a credit from Hotels.com if the are responsible since for the false advertising. There is also no “spa” on site as advertised.

1.0 / 10.0

The room was in terrible condition. The carpet was so grimy that I had to wear shoes inside to keep my feet from getting dirty. The sink barely functioned and the water temperature in the shower was impossible to control. My friend was in the room next door, and his room was recently renovated. It had the same issue with the water in the shower, but otherwise was fine. I asked the desk clerk if they were in the process of renovating the hotel and he told me that there were renovating one room at a time very slowly and he didn't know which rooms were renovated. The worst part was the very disagreeable young woman in the office. When I tried to extend my stay, she was unhelpful and uncooperative. When I became impatient at 3:00 in the afternoon when she told me that there were no rooms ready, despite the fact that it was mid-week and there were only about 5 cars in the entire parking lot, she became extremely defensive and threatened to call the police if I didn't leave. I went next door to the Motel 6 where I got a cleaner, more functional room for less than half what they were asking at Caliente Tropics. We have stayed at Caliente Tropics several times, and I was here this time with 4 other couples, so you would expect better customer service. I have dealt with others at the front desk who were very professional, but this young woman, who refused to tell me her first name, has no business in any job that requires customer service skills. None of us will be back.

While it was pretty cool to be staying in a historic hotel, the room wasn't anything special and the bathroom was on the small side. It's definitely no frills. That said, the staff were friendly and helpful and the temperature in the pool and hot tub were excellent.

3.0 / 10.0

At check in staff provided an extension for front desk if we had questions. Our room didn’t come with a phone. I would prefer if our restroom window had a screen. All sorts of bugs come in without a screen. Shower had spider webs. It took me a bit to understand how to turn on the shower knob. Hot water wasn’t consistent. All staff were professional and friendly. Bed and pillows were super comfortable.

4.0 / 10.0

We truly enjoyed our stay. The pool was perfect and relaxing (though the server was crabby). We had a king suite which was very spacious but the shower was a constant surprise. It would be hot then randomly cold and vise versa. It was very close and convenient to the main part of town with a lot of restaurants and shops near by.

6.0 / 10.0

Positives: Low cost. Lots of thoughtful perk-ups to a 1950's building that otherwise look like it's falling apart. Canaries in the lobby, very pleasant. Nice room. Negatives: No USB port in the room for my phone. The exercise room is closed until 8am so I couldn't work out before I had to leave for my conference. The exercise room's freeweights start at 50lbs and go up; I need 5- 8- 10-lb weights, I've never lifted 50. No elevator, so this 78-year-old guy had to haul suitcases etc up a flight of metal stairs.

Everything was wonderful. I will make reservations there again for Pride 2026. Stay was wonderful. Very helpful. Thank you once again. P.S.. do you have pet friendly rooms...

10.0 / 10.0

There was a cockroach in the pool when I stayed with my girl friend. It was off putting but it remains a joke that we have together. It’s not too personal against the hotel— cockroaches are everywhere urban and the water roaches are nearly impossible to evict completely. Otherwise, this was an awesome stay. We ended up using the hot tub which is open late, anyways. There is a tiki bar attached and, despite other reviews, this barista was quirky, friendly, and funny. We had a great time.

4.0 / 10.0

Room and facility is old and tired. Faucets are all messed up and there is no place to sit in the room. Bed is comfortable but the rest of the place feels broken down
