    As a VIP member of Hotels.com the experience at El Cid was crap from before check in until the end. So many things went wrong and if you would like to know someone should pick up a phone and call their guest.

    Easy access for a fair room

    Great

  • Engine customer Mar 2024

    Front door would not lock . Some window coverings were non existant. No counter space in bathroom. The host was very good at providing instructions and Things to do. Nothing like a normal hotel room with a tv in the bedroom and a livingroom with a comfortable couch .

  • Engine customer Feb 2024

    What a hidden gem. Great location, very private, quiet and close to downtown PS. We enjoyed the pool and the room was comfortable and romantic!

  • Engine customer Jan 2024

    Great stay

  • Engine customer Jan 2024

    Spacious accomodation with extremely unique and interesting decor. Biggest negative was lack of a bathtub.

  • Engine customer Jan 2024

    The property is well cared for although our room was not sound proof. The people next door sounded as though they were in our unit The kitchen could use a few more basic things like a cutting board and dish drying towels. Also 2 towels in the bathroom aren’t enough.

  • Engine customer Dec 2023

    Perfect location. 1 bedroom apt unit quiet and clean. Loved the fire pit and pool area. Bbq grill came in handy. Would definatley stay here again.

  • Engine customer Oct 2023

    The hotel was really clean and quiet. The decor for the room made it unique compared to chain hotels. The bed was comfortable.

  • Engine customer Oct 2023

    The room I had was very large and comfortable. I would recommend to anyone with an eclectic taste and the young at heart. I am 58 and found the property/room quite fun … there was a collection of costumes in the closet. Be sure to respond to the email requesting identification in order to receive the gate codes, your room number, and the lock code to your room. Try it out, you’ll like it!

  • Engine customer Sep 2023

    Had a great stay at El Cid, the property was quiet, hotel rooms are spacious and kept in great shape, we especially loved the eclectic decor. We will be back!

  • Engine customer Jul 2023

    Really nice and relaxing stay.

  • Engine customer Feb 2023

    The property with a full suite was a lot more than you would get anywhere else at that price but getting into it was a nightmare for us. Be aware that it is not managed on site, so you must respond to their email requests to sign a “contract” and provide a copy of your drivers license and actual photos of yourself. When I got these emails and texts from Avant Stay, I thought it was some kind of scam so I ignored them, figuring I could just show up at the motel and deal with it all there. When you get there, you won’t find an obvious entrance and you will need to respond to all their requests to get a code to open a man door to the property. The rooms are very nice, more like 5 condos and the landscaping and decor are appealing.

  • Engine customer Jan 2023

    Pool is amazing I would have liked to have had a Jacuzzi available and a bathtub but that Wasn’t available I guess I need to ask before I book Nice surroundings and quiet Close to downtown Palm Springs

  • Engine customer Jan 2023

    Pool area was not clean for 1/2 of our stay with debris in the pool. Had an issue with the shower and it took 2 days to get help - had to reach out 3 or 4 times. Expected better for the price we paid. No hot tub but area was convenient and everything else was fine

  • Engine customer Jan 2023

    Horrible customer support.
