The Palms at Indian Head

My wife & I enjoyed our stay last Wed. & Thur. evenings. The hotel is rather unique, well kept & the views, both day & night are fantastic. Having no power our second night was unfortunate & chilly. Although the power outage was not your fault in the least, we were quite disappointed at the lack of emergency lighting in the facility. Tom & Sue Bailey

Our favorite spot in Borrego, this is our 10th stay. I see complaints about neglect in past reviews, and while we have had minor issues in the past they have been minor. The good news is everything has been updated and fixed in the last two years. We like the casitas, the bathroom shower was always a little funky, but it is now newly remodeled and delightful.

Hotel is a wonderful example of midcentury architecture. The pool is gorgeous and looks like something out of Hearst Castle. Our casita was updated and we appreciated the woodburning fireplace during the chilly evenings. Would definitely go back.

My wife and I were walk ins. Very quiet. Only three other couples I think. BUT WE LOVED IT. The vibe, the views, the solitude. Didn’t know much about Borrego Springs. We obviously were there at the tail end of the quiet season. Which we also love. Beautiful room. We are not materialistic people but we felt special being there. Like it was our little secret. If you want the Four Seasons, stay in Beverly Hills. If you want to experience reality come here. Thanks to the visionaries who are working to restore this slice of California history. We will be back. Todd and Diane.

Had loved the look of this property on previous visits -- finally made a reservation and enjoyed three nights of mid-century cool. Check-in was (almost) contactless and that did not bother us at all. If you need to be coddled, this is not the place for you. Great hot tub, amazing views. We'll be back.

We have always enjoyed coming to the Palms over the years but experienced something quite different and disappointing on Jan. 26 and 27, 2022: loud, I mean LOUD, Keyboard Pounding, piano music with loud wailing vocals coming from the bar/lounge/restaurant area in the evening--one night past 9:30! The only response I got from the concierge was "..didn't it end at 8:30?). No follow-up to our inquiries and comments after our departure (leaking bathtub faucet, could the pianist bring the volume down, when might we stay to avoid the noise in the future?). So I write this review to alert potential guests that they are in for a noisy evening and, should they want to avoid that, look into staying when the pianist is not there.
