Hotels Near Uprising Rock Climbing Center in Palm Springs

This property used to be a Staybridge Suites managed by IHG but it changed over to Homewood Suites managed by Hilton. I was a guest from mid-February to mid-June and was there before, during the changeover, and after from Staybridge to Homewood. The property is a large property located next to one of the golf courses which is adjacent to Palm Springs Airport. The west side of the property has a fantastic view of Mount San Jacinto. There is an outdoor pool and a trail that parallels the golf course that you can walk on for exercise or your morning constitutional. The rooms are equipped with a kitchen that has a full size microwave, a full size refrigerator with freezer and icemaker, a stove top, a dishwasher, and a sink. The suites all have a separate bedroom (but not all rooms are suites). There's a desk and chair, sofa, stool, a couple of dressers, and a large flat screen television with cable. If you have a suite that has a separate bedroom there will be a flat screen television in the bedroom. The premise is equipped with Wi-Fi. There is a fitness room equipped with free weights, benches, treadmills, ellipticals, and a stationary bike that is adjacent to a complimentary laundry where you can do laundry while you're there. There is a full hot breakfast and it's good. They'll have scrambled eggs, or omelettes, (cheese or western style or plain), sausage or bacon, fried potatoes of some type, pancakes or waffles, and a variety of fresh fruits, sliced tomatoes, and the like. I am an IHG reward member and have stayed at this property many times over the past several years, but the change over to Homewood has me reconsidering. The changeover was not without problems. First, housekeeping went completely to pieces. Under Staybridge if you were there more than 7 days you scheduled housekeeping for once weekly on whatever day you wanted it. That completely died when it changed over to Homewood. After the changeover I never got my room cleaned unless I went downstairs and told them ”I need my room cleaned tomorrow, it was supposed to be cleaned today and nobody showed up”. That never got corrected. I don't know why. Staybridge also had an evening social every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday where they had complimentary sodas, beer, and wine, with a hot bar. Homewood eliminated that. This property has spacious parking - I mean spacious. There is room to park a hundred tractor trailer trucks and still have room for all the guests to park their cars. Under Staybridge parking was complimentary. Homewood instituted a $10 nightly parking fee. The average nightly prize for the rooms went up under Hilton. My room went from I believe $149 a night to $179 a night IIRC. I was there 2 months after the change over to Homewood, and the Wi-Fi became spotty. The Wi-Fi was still branded as IHG. One day it died completely and I called the front desk and they sent a maintenance guy up. He reset the access router and things began working again. But I asked him wha

I am taking the time to write this review because we were hesitant about our stay given the negative ones below. We had THE BEST time at the Ace. The mid-week vibes were great, super low key guests. Great pool time. What stood out was the food. We ate breakfast and lunch every day and loved everything we had. I can't recommend the Ace enough and I can't wait to come back next winter.

The RItz Carlton Rancho MIrage was perfect for our time in the Palm Springs area. We were upgraded to a fire pit room with a desert view and loved it. After a night swim we would return to a lit fire and view of a full moon. It was a beautiful way to start the day as well. The view was gorgeous. We had a child with us so we could only use the large family pool. There were always chairs available and the staff was so helpful. They would open umbrellas, pass out ice water, frozen berries, and small smoothies. We ate at the restaurant a few times and it was always good ( I usually hate hotel food). We were 6 miles away from downtown Palm Springs, but it was a quick drive to grab lunch, wander around and check out the art museum. If you enjoy nature, this is the right hotel for you.

All Dad wanted was a pool to hang out in for the weekend. I did my research and it paid off! Even though some comments made the pool sound ”not that great” ...it was! The online pictures don't do it justice! It's BIG, clean, only 5' deep total so you can walk across! Plenty of chairs and umbrellas, just really pretty and fun! Music playing at just the right sound. Pool bar food good and fast delivery.

The location is fantastic. There are plenty of good restaurants, bars, shops within walking distance and walking is easy since the city of Palm Springs is basically flat! I parked in the hotel lot and walked everywhere I wanted to go. The hotel does not have a restaurant or bar but I knew this when I booked so no problem. They do have a small cantina type room where you can buy snacks, some sandwiches, drinks, coffee, etc and ice machines everywhere. The service was very good, all employees where helpful and friendly. My room was very clean and good sized with a large bathroom. The room location was also good, on the ground floor near the pool with a view of a parklike courtyard. The pool was large and crowded (I arrived on Saturday afternoon) and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I took a dip the next morning right after maintenance finished cleaning the pool and was the only one there, it was great! I will definitely stay again at the Palm Mountain Resort.

This was my second stay in this motel-style place (it’s 2 story - so prepare for stairs - and outside doors all face a courtyard). Super clean, friendly staff, and excellent balconies, pool, and hot tubs. The only downside is that the hotel is on a busy road, but there is a narrow sidewalk to the nearest intersection and the walk into the heart of Palm Springs is pleasant (e.g., it’s an easy 10-minute stroll to the Thursday night market, famous artwork, etc.). Our family has had two great stays here and will continue to make it our go-to for Palm Springs!

Location: Rancho Mirage could be the best place to stay in the valley. It’s close to all the towns in the area and has great restaurants and shops. The HIE is really conveniently situated near shopping and with at least 5 or 6 restaurants within easy walking distance. Check-in / out and staff: Everything was great with the exception of check in. We arrived just after noon, and were told the room wasn’t ready. Asked them to please get it ready asap. Two hours later and still nothing. Another half an hour and I started to have a sense of humor failure. Really, is it not possible to clean a room in well over 2 hours? Highly irritating and unnecessary. Parking: Plenty parking round the hotel, free. Room: Really clean and well appointed. Large screen Tv, refrigerator, Keurig coffee maker, and microwave. Breakfast: The usual, with a reasonable selection of both hot and cold choices. Wi-Fi: Fluctuated quite a bit, but overall it was okay. (See test pic) TV and Air Conditioning: Both were new and functioned well. Stay again? Definitely. Whilst not cheap, unfortunately all hotels are relatively expensive in this part of the world!

Hotel was very new and it was nice. Staff was professional but the hotel was a little bit pricey at 250 US Dollars after tax. I think this hotel is very new so I guess I understand the justification for such a high price point. The hotel includes a decent breakfast and also has a swimming pool and did let us check in 1 hour early. My boyfriend's mother was surprised that I picked holiday in express but she was very pleased with my decision and we got two rooms. I would return there but have to think twice about dropping $250 US dollars. Must be cheaper in the summer and perhaps not on a weekend when there was something special in town. I got the Holiday Inn Express on this wonderful website and it was literally 100 US dollars per night per room cheaper. Thank you trip.com
