Central Palm Springs Resort Condo w/ 2 Balconies

Reviews

• Very good snowbird stay at this condo

  4/5

  I had a really good extended stay at this apartment. I wintered in Palm Springs without a car, so the location of this place was perfect - walking distance to the bars on Arenas Road, the shopping and dining on Palm Canyon, the resorts in Warm Sands and the Grocery Outlet next door (warning: if you're used to Whole Foods or Trader Joe's you might be shocked at Grocery Outlet, but it met my needs and the prices were great). The condo's towels, cutlery, dishes, glassware and kitchenware appeared to be brand new, so maybe the previous review was acted on (though new towels are a pain because of huge amounts of lint). The kitchen even had a new Crock Pot and rice cooker. Some warnings: 1. The central location is great, but it is right on Ramon Road, which is heavily traveled day and night, so if you're a light sleeper this may not be right for you. 2. The condo has an east window and balcony off the bedroom, and a west window and balcony off the living room, but no south windows, so it's dark during the day (and the sun sets behind the mountain at 3:20 PM in December). Just hang out by/in the warm, sunny pool and hot tubs instead. 3. While the apartment has been fairly recently renovated, the complex itself is 40 years old, so you will hear neighbors talking through the walls, you will smell them smoking cigarettes and other things, and when they shower you will hear the pipes howling.

  close, walkable to downtown strip. Great pool hot tub area. Older style building, but in good shape. Comfy king bed. Nice to have Netflix as well. Secure parking. Recommend it for 2 people.

• Workable Small Condo

  3/5

  Condo is very small (under 600 sf) and the decorative furniture provided doesn't provide enough storage areas for an extended stay. Several areas are in need of maintenance. Pots and utensils provided are old and need to be replaced. Overall, it's usable but not as nice as the pictures would lead you to believe.

  From the owners: "Hi Stephen, thanks for staying with us! We'd like to point out that every piece of furniture in the condo is functional and/or provides storage, including a dresser and two nightstands with three drawers each in the master bedroom, a two-shelf storage unit under the TV in the master bedroom, and a cubby storage unit under the TV in the living room. In addition, there is a large walk-in closet in the master bedroom with shelves above the wardrobe area and an adjoining section with floor-to-ceiling shelving. We use professional photography for the home, so all decor and furniture you see on the listing are as advertised. All in all, we're sorry to hear you didn't fully enjoy your stay at this home. We're accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, so this feedback is surprising, but we look forward to hosting many more satisfied guests!"
