Not the best hotel we have stayed at. We were put in a cell of a room with no outdoor window (small window to hall where someone kept smoking outside it)
Got charged a $35 “Resort Fee”overtop of room charge and tax. Rip off. For the price and amenities. ( no breakfast) not good value

Everything was great except the way you have to Check-in. They want you to Check-in with your phone. Give them another credit card after. You've already paid with a credit card and there's no one there to check you in. There's no desk. There's no nothing if I didn't catch the employee working walking in the parking lot. I would have never got in once you get in. It's amazing, clean, nice pool. Friendly staff.

This is a quiet little place very out-of-the-way very low-key. It’s only got about 10 or 11 rooms. It sits back against the mountains with a really nice view is actually a pretty cool place when I was in my room the AC went out And they immediately moved me to another room. The staff was very helpful here. I will probably stay here again.

Husband and i went to palm springs for an overnight stay. The hotel is small and quaint. The room we got was interesting, as it seemed that it was an overflow/former storage room. It was combined with the employee bathroom and another adjacent room. But overall it was nice with the space we needed for the overnight stay. The pool was nice with the cabanas and seating area. It also had a outdoor shower. Cute place to stay at, would like to try a different room.

A 1 bedroom suite was booked for 3 nights and on the first night I found a dish drying rack and it had fresh rat pee and droppings and dried pee and droppings as well. They refused to switch my room until I paid a $100 deposit that was a surprised to me after almost $600 for 3 days. Then we had issues with roaches in the bathroom and the kitchen/living room. Wouldn't recommend staying here. Spend the extra and go across the street to Santiago much better conditions and environment.

The Float is a lovely little property that is a bit rough around the edges but the pool, rooms and common areas are clean and friendly. I found the bed to be insanely comfy, I slept really well! The rooms are huge and most I think have kitchens and full refrigerators.
The pool was clean and although older, the cabanas were comfortable with good shade of you like.
The ice machine is small but worked fine when in the 114F heat!
This is a less expensive property but for the money I'd definitely go back. It's nicely secluded and not on our near busy streets.

Would not stay here again, not a pleasant experience. WiFi was spotty, rats and roaches by the pool. Killed a fat roach in my room. The front door shutters would not close, anyone could peak through into our room. Gate seemed to always be opened, random people kept coming in and out at night. Back door knob was toggled at night while in the room.

I like it. I love the boutique style hotel. No long corridors or lobbys. Park and my room is only a few feet away. Life doesn't get any better than that. I'm don't have the patients to park in some huge parking structure and from there haul all my crap to wherever the check in area is. It's such a pain in the ass
If your like me, this place is for you. Trust me you won't regret it

The property is amazing, usually very quiet and always a relaxing oasis. This time I stayed in a room that was wedged between a high traffic service area for employees and the “front desk” office, which the only window in the room faced the “front desk” office. I heard door slamming and conversation about maintenance orders most of the day. Luckily I was out of my room as much as I could but the door slamming was my morning wake up call. Also also, note to maintain unit 2 has a crack in the bathroom ceiling. Next time I will request to be away from the front desk but will definitely be returning.

The neighborhood was good, felt safe coming back after dinner. I did like that the entrance to the property was locked, so there weren't people on the property who didn't belong there. I was in room 2 and the entrance to the room is a little sketchy. There is a coded lock to enter an exterior door into a tiny hall, then there are 4 doors off of this hall. One is for the room and has another coded lock. Then there is an employee-only bathroom right beside the motel room, and I heard employees coming and going several times during the evening while I was getting ready for bed. I don't know where the other 2 doors led to, but there weren't other motel rooms. The shower head was spraying across the glass shower wall and hitting the ceiling; they need to fix that asap or they'll have serious damage (which there is some already in the corner of the shower ceiling). The linens and towels were clean and good quality. There were a few basic toiletries, a smart TV, small fridge, microwave, and generous closet. I did love the pool and courtyard area. Since it's a small property, there aren't many people using the pool at once, and it was able to soak up the sun completely undisturbed. Overall, the property and furnishings are in need of some serious maintenance. For the price, and since I was only staying one night, it was completely fine for me. But I wouldn't have been satisfied to stay there for a whole 5-7 night vacation. With some work, it'll be a great little property!

Hotel is old but still met our needs. Some outlets were not working in the second room. Staff replied to text messages in a timely manner. Pool was amazing.

I went here for a one night solo trip that I really never do. The hotel was super peaceful and quiet. Exactly what I was looking for. I loved the cabanas and hot tub. There were no big floats in the pool (as pictured). No big deal.
The downsides were that the ice machine wasn't working. I couldn't find an office or staff to ask. I had a hummingbird die right in front of my door 2hrs into me arriving. So sad. I actually brought it to a more peaceful spot because I couldn't find anyone working. They put me in the back next to the supply room. I had my service dog who just had knee surgery, so he isn't fully himself. In the morning, he barked a few times from the cleaners passing my room constantly. I ran into the owner or maybe manager. I felt like he was a little harsh. He said it wasn't a pet friendly hotel. I explained he was a service dog and I even called to make sure the hotel knew when I booked. And they assured me on the phone that it was fine. We went back and forth. He had me put the leash back on my 15lb dog, which I offered of course. But there was literally no one by the pool.
Overall, I had a nice experience. But the very end with me feeling like I got in trouble wasn't fun. So be very careful if you are bringing a service dog. And just a friendly reminder to the manager or owner, that many disabilities are invisible. Thank you for the fun little 20hr getaway from San Diego :)

We stayed here under the previous owners, and see a deterioration. Bare minimum upkeep. Wi-Fi is very weak and spotty, which is a problem because cell service is also weak in this area. Faucet leaked, grout in bathroom was sloppy. Overall, it was a good price and so we were basically satisfied, but it could use a little more attention.

Too many men in and out of rooms, running toilet!!! Dirty pool and jacuzzi

very old and run down, wifi very slow to non-existent, which wouldn't have been a big deal but for whatever reason the area at and around the hotel was a deadzone for my phone. Room was clean and bed was comfortable, but walls are so thin I could hear the people next door coughing and snoring. The property has covid distancing signs posted everywhere and felt like they are still using this as an excuse to have zero staff onsite or take care of anything

I’m only here for one day . The shower water very hot . I don’t like the combination entrance on the door . If one of the maintenance person didn’t tell me how to actual get the numbers to light up. Id be getting disappointed . Then there’s no additional lock on the inside for security . I barely was able to reach the ac/ heater unit forget trying to read the buttons just punch away till maybe you got it right . Coffee maker really didn’t work correctly . Anyway I think I found the ultimate place to maybe retire at . No one can expect perfect properties but I feel there is room for improvement

Not a bad place once you spend an hour figuring out how to "self check in". I think we might have been charged 5 times. Insanity.

Overall, I felt that Float is a quaint and cutesy hotel. It is in a quiet, relaxing area of Palm Springs (I was here during the week). The rooms, hotel grounds, pool and hot tub are clean and well maintained. Here are the issues: 1. mattress was not comfortable. It is a plush mattress on the verge of needing replacement. 2. Rooms are not sound proof as described: I could hear occasional talking and door/drawer slamming from the rooms on either side of me. 3. Fountain by the pool was broken. It worked, but leaked water. 4. The fire pit was out of propane and/or inoperable. 5. Two of the pool floats were completely deflated. 6. Noticed pool table felt was tattered and torn. Balls and cues were nowhere to be found. Maybe these were in the office? 7. Some of the pool lounger cushions were also tattered/torn. 8. Outdoor throw pillow covers needed to be washed. Some seemed a little dirty. 9. There were ping pong paddles, but no table or ball. 10. There were paddle ball paddles, but no ball. 11. There are barbecue grill tools but no grill on site, unless the fire pit can be used as a grill. 12. No bicycle rentals as stated in the listing. Other than these minor issues, I liked this hotel and may stay here again. The cabanas are a nice feature.

Really enjoyed my stay here and it’s proximity to everything. Place turned out to be what I expected. It isn’t “fancy” and could use some updates and fixes, but it was clean and comfortable with a great shower and comfortable bed. Liked the virtual check-in and use of door codes. Pool and hot tub area was decent and relaxing. Have a water and ice machine. Also in a nice, safe area.
