Hotels near Isabelle by Julian Voss-Andreae, Palm Springs

I wish I could say that all Courtyards are the same, but they're quite different. Take this one in Palm Springs. As Marriott often does, they placed the Courtyard next to the much larger and considerably more expensive Renaissance. I like to have breakfast at the Renaissance. I will have coffee in my room, and take a cup with me. I made a joke, initially, about visiting our ”High falutin' neighbor.” I guess that's very anti Marriott. I explained that I was just kidding, and just making conversation. I guess that was acceptable. I'm sure it would be different if I dared swim in their pool. My point is, the pool at the Courtyard is wonderful. It's relatively quiet. It's a great temperature. And if it was a Westin instead, it would have a gigantic Resort Fee. This is what led me to the Courtyard. I hate Resort Fees. I think they're extortion. I always ask for the person at the front desk to sell me on the Resort Fee. The first thing that they mention is free local phone calls. Don't tell anyone, but guess where else one can make free local and long distance calls for free? Yes. Every single cell phone anywhere. The Courtyard offers free shuttle service to the Palm Springs Airport (PSP). You can also walk in less than 15 minutes. This is much easier in February than July. So, if you're looking for a hotel with the immaculate Marriott clean (this has been Marriott policy since way before the pandemic), a larger than average room, and wonderful guests and especially wonderful and above and beyond staff, this is the place. And make your reservation early for the best rate. I'm going for 4 nights during the week, and paying about $140/night tax included. I would recommend the Marriott Bonvoy app. If every hotel app was this good, the World would be a better planet.

I am taking the time to write this review because we were hesitant about our stay given the negative ones below. We had THE BEST time at the Ace. The mid-week vibes were great, super low key guests. Great pool time. What stood out was the food. We ate breakfast and lunch every day and loved everything we had. I can't recommend the Ace enough and I can't wait to come back next winter.

Let me start off by saying this hotel is totally underrated and super cool. Awesome room, spacious, decor was lovely and the pool/spa was great. Linda who works here was polite, kind and the best concierge person I have dealt with. Wonderful customer service. I will definitely stay here again.

All Dad wanted was a pool to hang out in for the weekend. I did my research and it paid off! Even though some comments made the pool sound ”not that great” ...it was! The online pictures don't do it justice! It's BIG, clean, only 5' deep total so you can walk across! Plenty of chairs and umbrellas, just really pretty and fun! Music playing at just the right sound. Pool bar food good and fast delivery.

Location: Rancho Mirage could be the best place to stay in the valley. It’s close to all the towns in the area and has great restaurants and shops. The HIE is really conveniently situated near shopping and with at least 5 or 6 restaurants within easy walking distance. Check-in / out and staff: Everything was great with the exception of check in. We arrived just after noon, and were told the room wasn’t ready. Asked them to please get it ready asap. Two hours later and still nothing. Another half an hour and I started to have a sense of humor failure. Really, is it not possible to clean a room in well over 2 hours? Highly irritating and unnecessary. Parking: Plenty parking round the hotel, free. Room: Really clean and well appointed. Large screen Tv, refrigerator, Keurig coffee maker, and microwave. Breakfast: The usual, with a reasonable selection of both hot and cold choices. Wi-Fi: Fluctuated quite a bit, but overall it was okay. (See test pic) TV and Air Conditioning: Both were new and functioned well. Stay again? Definitely. Whilst not cheap, unfortunately all hotels are relatively expensive in this part of the world!

What a special place this is, hidden away in the mountain and surrounded by nature. Super cosy rooms would definitely recommend to couples and families. The drive to it was lovely aswell.

Hotel was very new and it was nice. Staff was professional but the hotel was a little bit pricey at 250 US Dollars after tax. I think this hotel is very new so I guess I understand the justification for such a high price point. The hotel includes a decent breakfast and also has a swimming pool and did let us check in 1 hour early. My boyfriend's mother was surprised that I picked holiday in express but she was very pleased with my decision and we got two rooms. I would return there but have to think twice about dropping $250 US dollars. Must be cheaper in the summer and perhaps not on a weekend when there was something special in town. I got the Holiday Inn Express on this wonderful website and it was literally 100 US dollars per night per room cheaper. Thank you trip.com

I would highly recommend this hotel. It was very clean and comfortable. I was traveling as a single woman and felt safe staying there alone. I was impressed with the breakfast offering each day, as there were hot as well as cold options, and it was better than you might expect from most complimentary breakfast buffets. I met one of the maids in the hallway and asked her to empty my wastebaskets (I wasn't due to have service, unless specifically requested). Anyway, she went above and beyond in tending to several items in my room. Also, the older gentleman in the breakfast area my second morning (2/19) was greatly helpful. So, just wanted to compliment the staff at this location.

It’s a very beautiful resort. The room was enough room for a family. We had full kitchen to prepare meals for the kids. The patio opened to a nice pond snd golf course. The pools were kept clean and there were plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas for the guests. We had a great time. 😎👍
