The location is a 10-minute walk from the Palm Springs Art Museum and a 5-minute drive from the Palm Springs International Airport.

Each room is distinct, ranging from cozy adobe studios with wood beam ceilings to spacious suites with full kitchens and stone bathrooms. Some rooms have outdoor showers, private balconies, or mountain views. A few rooms, like the Sahara Room, are very small, so checking square footage is wise. Many suites include wood-burning fireplaces (e.g., Sahara, Nomad, Bedouin). Noise can be an issue in road-facing rooms or those near the breakfast area. Air conditioning is effective even in summer, but some rooms may have dated fixtures. Beds are generally comfortable, and all rooms include a mini fridge. Cots are available only in larger suites.

Breakfast is included and typically offers two choices, such as banana pancakes or a healthy granola bowl, served on a shared terrace. Coffee is delivered to your room each morning. There is no on-site restaurant or bar for lunch or dinner. The hotel can order from local restaurants with a 20% gratuity and an 18% hotel fee added.

Bringing your own alcohol is common.
