Central Palm Desert location.
It's so close to the main El Paseo shopping boulevard that you can leave the car at the hotel and simply stroll down. It makes for a pleasant getaway, where you can explore the local galleries, shops, and restaurants on foot, putting you at the heart of local Palm Desert culture.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Sound travels easily.
The walls don't seem to be well insulated at this Holiday Inn Express, and some guests say that they can even hear conversations in the next room. Add to that doors being slammed and the elevators rattling up and down, and it can be quite noisy, depending on where you room is located.
negative:
Air conditioners can be noisy.
Watching TV or trying to sleep? When the air con unit kicks into action, you may find yourself reaching for the remote to whack up the volume, or jolting awake from your dreams, because guests say that the air con in a lot of rooms is overly noisy, disturbing the peace and quiet.
negative:
Somewhat cramped bathrooms.
You might struggle to find a place for all your toiletries in the bathroom, since guests report that there's often little vanity space around the sink, so you might have to keep them in your bag. Some bathrooms also seem to be quite cramped all round, making morning routines less than easy.
