Ace Hotel and Swim Club Palm Springs

Pool is always fun, and the staff getting drinks is great! The problem was it was so crowded! It was over 100 degrees and everyone was in the pool. I don't think the hotel was very full but the pool was. I think they open it up to the public making it stuffed!

The pool was fantastic and just the vibe we were looking for. The staff were friendly and the rooms were comfortable. The location was also close enough to everything without being in the thick of downtown.

The pool area is great. It is not the largest pool, but there was ample seating all around, access to drinks (though extraordinarily expensive), and there was a good vibe. By my own tastes, they consistently played great music (Motown, 90's and 2000's hits) and it wasn't too loud. Rooms are clean and comfortable.

Cute hotel, but we had some issues in terms of atmosphere. I have stayed at multiple hotels in the Palm Springs area, & this one definitely is the most overrun by kids! We had great service from the bar staff and enjoyed our food, but we were a little bit disappointed by the inability to have an adult convo and I had kids kicking me in the hot tub.

The checkin process was smooth and the vibe at the lobby was very helpful. The room itself was nicely appointed with sort of mid-century kitsch with nice touches all over. The view out the room of the pool and the snow-capped mountains in the distance was beautiful. Complete with elevator music playing over the pool and lounge area! The front-desk people were very helpful suggesting some restaurants in the area that weren't tourist traps. They even had bar trivia in the attached cocktail lounge the evening we stayed. The overall atmosphere of the entire place was very retro-cool.
