Orchid Tree Inn, Palm Springs

There is NO Orchid Tree Inn! It died several years ago when developers from Santa Monica bought the property and let it die--along with the lovely plantings that were denied water till they wasted away. Our favorite place in PS to stay...gone forever

I loved everything about the place. It is effordable and calm. I would go back there 100 more times. Even though I have hard time getting hold of them. The pools are always clean. And what I mostly love about the place is the freedom. The owner is not up our butts 24/7. Speaking from past experiances at other hotels. :o)

I've been visiting this quaint little slice of heaven for years and refuse to stay anywhere else. The humming birds, and just good feeling you experience while sitting in your private courtyard are experiences one can't quite put into words.

Very clean, two very clean pools and spa's. walking distance to resturants and shops. Air conditioning. friendly, Nice little place. Larger suited available. We have nice memories of this hotel.

My grandparents managed the orchid tree inn in the 60's thru 1971. I would spend 2 weeks out of every summer vacation here. Swimming in the pool next to the front office and riding bikes built for two, then walking over to Thrifty's for an ice cream cone. Sure its changed alot, grown much bigger,and not like staying in some 5 star hotel with all the services, but check out the price ?And if your a family who lives on a budget, maybe not spending a grand for a weekend (like disneyland) is the kind of get-a-away vacation from LA or Riverside that your looking for. Dont forget the ride up the tramway. J Weaver

Stayed there two years ago. One of the most spacious and attractive set of rooms we have ever had (traveled in over twenty different countries), with very convenient location and great view over pool. Several Hollywood folks there, for film festival, while we were. We will be back in January.
