Can't give high marks because the breakfast was below what we expect from a BW Plus, The outdated window AC is really loud and guaranteed to wake you up every time it kicks on. Also, the TV remote didn't work.

Too bad I couldn't give this rating another star.

This would be a real go-to location for an affordable stay in downtown Palm Springs were it not for the hotel showing signs of age. The location could not be better for folks wanting a place that is truly just a block or two from the center of the downtown shopping, restaurant and gallery scene. Easy walking and no parking fees.

While the Best Western and our room was very clean and tidy, the bathroom and tub/shower were clearly a couple decades beyond their "best by" date. The fixtures and the look were dated and the shower drained so slowly that I was always standing in several inches of water while showering.

Overall, this is not a bad place to stay. In fact I would probably stay here again. But it has a retro ambiance that is not entirely intentional or desirable.
