Palm Desert Palm Desert Public Library Hotels

"Was looking for an elegant hotel for two days after our week of California travel. Was hoping to relax poolside. Traveled with my husband and two teenage sons. The family pool was overcrowded. There were no chairs to be had on day one check in. We went over to a quieter pool in the front. We stayed there three hours, having lunch and drinks while we waited for our room. Our room was late to be ready, but we were relaxed, so our late room was not a problem. However, three hours in, the pool manager told us we had to leave because it was an adult only pool. My sons are 13 and 17. They had been quietly relaxing in their phones. No one told us this the entire afternoon. In fact, many other younger kids had been in the pool throughout the day. The staff supplied us lunch and drinks without a problem. At 4 pm, the pool manager confronted us, and said the boys had to leave since the pool area was getting crowded. However, it was the opposite. People were leaving for dinner. We told him our room wasn’t ready, and we had no where else to on since the other pool was overrun with small kids and children. It was a splash pool. The pool manager threatened us with security. At that point, I just wanted to leave. Our room was late, service took a long time. There was only one server bringing food and drinks out. We waited over an hour for drinks. Yet we hadn’t complained until the manager asked my sons to leave. Another manager offered us free dinner, but we cancelled both reservations."

"I am writing to formally request a full refund for our recent stay at your property, as the conditions were unacceptable and far below the standards expected of an Embassy Suites hotel. During our stay, we experienced multiple serious issues: No towels were available at the pool on several occasions. Mold was present in the bathtubs in two different rooms. Both rooms had broken tub stoppers. Towels provided were old and felt like worn rags. We found hair inside the drawers, which prevented us from unpacking. Breakfast service used plastic utensils, which was unexpected for this level of hotel. Upon late check-in, the lobby floor was being mopped, and we were asked to wait until it dried before checking in. There was a persistent unpleasant odor in the room. Furniture, including couches, appeared run-down and poorly maintained. We initially raised concerns and were moved to another room; however, the same issues were present there as well. This occurred late at night, leaving us with no reasonable option but to remain and endure the conditions. Most concerning, due to the mold and non-functioning tub stoppers, we were unable to safely bathe ourselves or our children during the entire stay. This created a significant level of discomfort and concern for our family. Given these circumstances, I believe a full refund is warranted. The experience did not meet even basic cleanliness and functionality standards, let alone those associated with your brand. "
