Mystery of the saguaro
Where to start... this place has character, but not all good. Restaurant was amazing, get the chilaquiles👏 Staff was so nice at el jefe. However, front desk was continually rude upon check in and during our stay. Our room was quite big and fit 4 people comfortably. But the sheets on the bed were not fitted and kept falling off, they just weren’t right. We could see the stained mattress after just sitting on the bed. Balcony was nice but the railing was broken, which felt quite hazardous. Also, they did not provide enough pool and room towels, and when we called the front desk to ask for more they were very hesitant to give us any. Also our room phone was broken so we had to call the front desk from our cell. The pool was DIRTY we had to avoid certain patches cause there was gunk and hair and bugs— looked like a foam. DONT open your mouth in the pool. The lounge chairs were also a bit dirty too. Also the death which happened in 2016 was concerning to us while we swam in the pool. Overall the pool does not have a family vibe and people were drinking from 9am on and were VERY drunk by noon. The carpets in the hotel hallway were stained and trashed... so many gross, mysterious stains in dingy hallways. The layout of the hotel was bizarre and hard to navigate. If you’re looking for a laugh and cheap option in Palm Springs which makes you feel like a you’re on an episode of love island go to the saguaro. The thorns outweigh the roses for this place.
Electrical shocks in pool - unresponsive management
I am one of the many guests who felt electrical shocks in the pool last weekend. The staff showed no sense of urgency in resolving the issue or providing us with updates, and reopened the pool before the problem was resolved, resulting in additional guests feeling shocks. They are going to have a mass casualty event on their hands if they don't take it seriously! While at the hotel I was unable to get any info or answers, and since we checked out 5 days ago I have not gotten a response from management despite multiple attempts. With regard to the rest of the hotel, it's like a real estate listing that looks amazing till you actually get there and see it in person. Weird smells, stained carpet, chipped paint, noisy A/C units, paper-thin walls. No in-room coffee, and the on-site restaurant doesn't open till 7 AM, which feels pretty late if you've come from any other time zone. This hotel was absolutely not worth what we paid, especially considering we couldn't use the pool for more than half our stay. The information they provide when you check-in is from before COVID, so it's not accurate. For example, there is no shuttle that runs to downtown Palm Springs. The one positive was the staff - everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly and helpful! They have a great crew.
Fun hotel, lively, great happy hour.
Great hotel with a lively atmosphere and excellent happy hour in the bar. Loved borrowing the bicycles and going around downtown Palm Springs. Only problem was on Saturday and Sunday the pool is way overcrowded and there are no chairs available.
Birthday stay
I chose the Saguaro for my birthday stay and really wanted to love it. It’s colorful, playful and totally my vibe- just what I was looking for! Last year everything was shut down so was trying to make up for a very long year post panorama-19. Our check in took literally 25 minutes- like not even kidding. I saw at least 5 other people get checked in and we didn’t even give our credit card yet. The clerk would just not stop rambling (I think he was stalling bc our room wasn’t ready but it was already after check in time). (Poor Queso having to listen to him all day long but I was thankful for his distraction bc I was getting very irritated lol I think he could sense it and came over several times to demand lovins from me. Queso you the real mvp) At that point just tell me it’s not ready and offer something to make up for it. Directions to the room were confusing but thankfully my travel buddy got us where we needed to go. I was very disappointed just stepping out into the parking lot. And my heart just kind of sank when we got to the room. Musty hallways, noisy HVAC. I don’t understand the layout of the room. You have this huge bathroom but it’s just the toilet and shower and put the sink in the other room? Quirky but ok. Not a lot of counter space and lack of proper lighting and no other mirror in the room made getting ready a bit difficult. Lots of cosmetic blemishes in the room. Well stocked honor bar but we brought our own stuff. I did appreciate that the room was a decent size. Beds and linens were ok. I will admit I am a harsh critic as I work in the industry. Service at El Jefe all 3 nights was amazing. I can literally live on tacos and margs and be totally content. Also has a chicken quesadilla by the pool and that ish was next level!! So good! Enjoyed the pool time for sure. Pina Coladas were delightful! Could not find any ice machines anywhere, but we made it work. We had billing issues at check out but that was easily fixed. Beware of the hidden fees!!! I thought I knew my total after tax and resort fees but it was like $200 higher than what was on my confirmation. Those resort fees are insane- way too high for no housekeeping service and not having all amenities open. Appreciated all the little spaces and “insta worthy” photo ops. Overall not terrible but I was definitely disappointed with the quality of the room. For what I paid out the door for 3 nights I feel I could have stayed somewhere a little nicer. But now I know how to manage my expectations for next time!
Grossest pool ever
By Saturday afternoon the pool was literally foaming with sludge. A thick layer of the most disgusting stuff I’ve ever seen including used bandaids & trash. I asked security to do something but nope..
