Holiday Inn Express & Suites Cathedral City

One of the front desk guys made multiple snarky comments. He was a dick. Rooms smell like earwax. Nice pool, though.

I’m a pilot and stay in many hotels, the Internet works for a few minutes then shut down for hours. I can hear people on both walls, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Stayed 4 nights for a conference at the Westin Mission Hills. Ample free parking. Yay!
Great variety for breakfast and tasty. (except the orange juice and passion fruit mango were watery). I love that breakfast concluded at 9:30. Plenty of time!
Room was a good size — comfortable. The best part: I got good sleep because those beds, comforter, and pillows were extraordinarily comfortable. I slept well.
Overall. Clean hotel. Great breakfast options. Reasonable rates. With a roommate our individual contribution was $ 224 per person for 4 nights. Not bad at all!

Nach der langen Fahrerei durch diverse Nationalparks, wollten wir uns in der Gegend um Palm Springs ein wenig von den Strapazen erholen. Hierzu hatten wir das Holiday Inn Express in Cathedral City für 3 Nächte gebucht, das sich zwischen den Orten Palm Springs und Rancho Mirage befindet.
Das Hotel machte von außen einen sehr gepflegten Eindruck und befand sich ein wenig abseits von der Hauptstraße. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Im Hotel befindet sich noch ein kleines Fitnesscenter und ein Außenpool.
Unser Zimmer war geräumig und sauber, sehr komfortabel und hatte neben einem Flatscreen, noch einen Kühlschrank, Kaffeemaschine und ein Bügeleisen mit Bügelbrett. Das kostenlose WLAN arbeitete flott und zuverlässig.
Das kostenfreie Frühstück war gut bestückt, aber nach 3 Tagen doch ein wenig langweilig. Auch hier hatten wir wieder eine automatische Pancakemaschine. In der Lobby konnte man sich den ganzen Tag mit kostenfreien Kaffee versorgen und einmal gab es warme Schokokekse dazu.
Einen Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel kann ich insgesamt empfehlen, allerdings ist der angesagtere Ort hier Palm Desert mit seinen exklusiven Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Restaurants und Bars. Außerdem ist ein Aufenthalt im August bei über 40 Grad im Schatten keine gute Idee, da selbst der Pool nicht mehr für Abkühlung sorgen konnte.

Sorry for the mess, but we have been here a few days with the kids for oldest son bball tournament. Not bad for the price. Clean, plenty of room and free breakfast in the a.m. which my kids love. Im not crazy about the breakfast, but this is for them. We brought our Amazon stick connected it to the t.v. and we were great. Staff is friendly, gym room is tolerable and pool area is cool. Bed seemed to hard for me. Hey!!! Its not the Ritz Carlton. We will be back no real issues here for the second time.

Clean, comfortable, & quiet. After having a crappy day, Mark not only made checking in easy but he calmed us down & made us laugh. Good hotel

First time here… Holiday Inn Express Hotels and Suites. Great staff!, clean all around.
Would stay here again… but…
Complimentary breakfast:
— Please have soy or lactose free milk. There are quite a few of us that can’t drink regular.
— Lots of sugar items… ‘juice’ sugar cereals, breads. saw lots of kids during my stay and really! I’m sure you can do better.
— Lines are a bit long, due to the pancake maker. either move it or get another one.
— Kudos to the kitchen staff… they were just great!
Big CONS:
PLEASE! STOP USING STYROFOAM DISPOSABLE PLATES, CUPS ETC ETC… YOUR HOTEL IS ADDING SO MUCH GARBAGE THAT CAN NOT BE RECYCLED!
This is what’s stopping the 5 stars.

BED BUGS were found at this location. I was bitten several parts on my body. I actually caught the BED BUG on my bed. So I reported to the front desk, and they did not offer to relocate our room. And told us that we can check out in the middle of the night. I could not bear to sleep on the bed knowing that there are bed bugs. So we relocated to another location at our own cost at midnight. The next day, the general manager, Bill, told me that he doesn’t know what we caught but he could not find ant traces of bed bugs. He was totally defensive. And seemed like they are not going to take any reponsibility over this issue. This effected my whole trip in Palm Springs emotionally and physically. This whole situation is absurb.

Tres bon hotel, chambre pour 3 personnes tres spacieuse, personnel agreable, proche de tout commerce, cet hotel contient des distributeurs automatique, d’un distributeur de glacon a volonte et d’une laverie au prix abordable. Cependant le petit dejeuner n’a pas meilleur mine (pas beaucoupde choix)

First time staying at a Holiday Inn Express so my list might be a bit longer than my normal review.
I would like to start with pros:
— Easy parking (free)
— Complimentary breakfast and WIFI
— Easy check-​in
— Modern décor
— Fridge in the room
— Microwave available in the vending area
— Clean room especially the carpet. Not sure if they are new, but my white socks remained white with very little dirt on them. That’s how I can tell the carpet is filthy. Bathroom is a different story. I’ll get into that later.
— Nice pool size for the size of the hotel.
— Friendly staff
— AC was working very well.
Cons
— Bathroom looked clean until I dropped something on the floor and looked up inside the rim of the toilet. It looks like it hasn’t been clean for weeks.
— They don’t have available clean towels in pool area. When I asked, they were prompt at giving me towels.
— Pool water was a bit murky.
— breakfast line was pretty long because of the pancake maker. Maybe if they have 2 of those, it might move faster.
Most of my cons are cleanliness. We just stayed there for 1 night. With the rate and its amenities, this hotel is a great value. Don’t expect luxury.

Clean and simple hotel. The room was immaculate, great ac and HOT water with really good pressure in the shower. Free WI-​FI. Room is huge. Came with a mini sink area, microwave, mini fridge, sitting area with couch and coffee table. Two desks to work at. Seriously more room than some other fancy hotels I’ve stayed at. I used the gym, basic but fine. Towels, water and a TV are in the gym area. The pool space was nice, didn’t get in the water but laid out to read and felt fine. It was pretty empty since it was during the week. The included breakfast more than suits my needs. I like the convenience of a quick breakfast and it included quite a bit (cereal, eggs, sausage, biscuit, pancake machine, toast, bagels, fruit, packages of oatmeal, boiled eggs, yogurt, coffee and juice) I was there for 4 days. Selection was same other than how the eggs were cooked. Again, I was totally happy with it as I can walk out of my room, eat and save money and time. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I don’t get housekeeping daily but the staff were great if I needed to switch a towel or get more toilet paper/​soap. Some good restaurants nearby that give you a flavor of local foods as opposed to the pricier, main drag places. I did notice that there is a location right next to the River shopping center. Not sure what the price differential would be but that might be a nice place to stay too since its walking distance to the River and has a restaurant across the parking lot. I’d be more likely to walk in that area too. This hotel is behind an arco am/​pm which is fine in the day but I’m not walking around at night here.
All in all, I’d stay again!

I’m writing this review from a table in our break room using my latest delivery of an IWerks bluetooth keyboard,
This hotel is ok, Located a few miles from the airport, it suits my needs,
The manager is a little hard core, but he can become friendly.
The owner is Korean and a pretty nice guy,
The breakfast is soso,
The pool and jacuzzi are wonderful when the weather is nice,.
Coin laundry is available but you need to provide your own detergent. The gym online shows a universal, but its only a elyptical and treadmill,
The restaurants nearby are within walking distance and fairly good and reasonable, My favorite spot is Cello’s. You get an additional 10% off with your hotel card,

Overall happy. Clean rooms shampoo and conditioner was good. Breakfast good.

Nice little hotel. Pool area nice and clean. Rooms clean, no complaints. Check in was easy, and the desk clerk was a people person. Breakfast nothing fancy, but did the job. We were in the area for the Arial tram and found this online. Closer hotels seemed to be boutique hotels. This was a family trip so needed a family friendly hotel, and it was. Would definitely go back, and we plan to. We want to do the tram in the winter. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

Very nice and clean place, loved it. Has everything you could want in a breakfast bar! Thank you Eva and Wayne at the front desk for such wonderful service!

This was our first time staying in one of these hotels and we loved it. they have good free breakfast. eggs, sausage, biscuits, cereal, bagels, packages and more. the workers are on top of everything… the rooms are wonderful. they have rooms where they sleep 6.2 queen beds and a sofa bed. I recommend this hotel to everyone!

More like 3.5÷5
Stayed here for one night this past weekend with a group of friends. While the room was fantastic (double beds with a sofa bed on the third floor), the level of customer service could have been better. I only encountered one gentleman at the front desk and he gave me attitude. However he was friendly and almost flirtatious with one of my friends in the group. He even asked about him when I checked out instead of asking how our stay went.
The following morning we all came down for breakfast around 9:30, but all that remained was some apples, cinnamon rolls and yogurts. The pool and view from the back were gorgeous and the lobby looked really nice.
I’d likely stay here again. Next time I’d like to use the facilities more.

It’s better than ok, but I’m not really a fan… Really is like 3.5 stars… Not a «fan,» but… Staff was very friendly and helpful… Place was simple. Clean. The pool was clean and fine. Hot tub clean and fine. Lots of kids on the day I went. Towels were plenty. No bar. No frills type lounge room. Breakfast was included and decent… Price was acceptable. Quiet. Bed and stuff… Good.
Would I stay again… Maybe… Would I look for another place… Yeah probably, unless I had kids with me…

So we came down here for a wedding, decided to stay at the holiday inn and rack up my IHG points. We booked our rate for around 116.00 a night. We checked in late and the front desk was helpful and offered us complimentary bottles of water.
The hotel needs some renovations, 90’s style carpet apparent throughout the facility as well as fake marble Formica. Elevators slow and old as well. Holiday inn really needs to step it up with their toiletry offering, you could get better products for a dollar from Walmart or target.
The breakfast was pretty good, hot options that cater all preferences. The wifi was really good and fast, I enjoyed watching the last week of the NFL season here. The LCD tv in our room was pretty small and there was no HD options. The remote control was a lodge net type remote from the late 90’s. The bed was pretty comfortable and as usual with all hotels, the pillows really suck.
The location is great and is close to many stores and fast food places that are open late.
Stay here if you like racking up points, otherwise look at the numerous resorts that are close by. Solid 3 stars.

My family had a very good experience at this Holiday Inn Express. While I still believe the chain as a whole overvalues itself by about $ 10 a night, we got an excellent rate at this location that was much more in line with what I think is reasonable for hotels in this chain and at this «level» of amenities. The hotel itself is clean and well maintained, and the staff was attentive and friendly. Check in and check out was a breeze, and the front desk staff was helpful in terms of answering questions I had about the local area. The pool and patio area looked very inviting, but unfortunately we didn’t have time to take advantage of it while we were there.
The nicest thing about the hotel for me was actually the location itself. Very often when traveling, you stay in hotels right off the freeway or very close to the airport. This is convenient, but in my experience it conveys a feeling of «hustle and bustle» that makes it hard to relax. You hear the roar of traffic down the freeway or the planes taking off and landing, other guests are coming and going constantly, and it never «feels» relaxing. Well this hotel avoids all that. It is a couple miles off the freeway, but it is still easy to get TO the freeway from it. It is just a straight shot down a single road. Small detail, but to me it was very much worth it. I felt relaxed at this hotel.
So if you are looking for a well-​priced, clean, and relaxing place to stay in the Palm Springs area, I heartily recommend this HI Express.

Let me tell you a story about how I ended up at this hotel this past weekend: Hotwire.
My boyfriend had planned to head to Palm Springs for the Salsa Mambo festival. At the last minute (ok, 2 weeks beforehand), we decided that I’d come along with him. We didn’t want to stay at Doral, where the event is held, since that was pretty pricey per night. After many searches, we finally took the risk and booked Fri & Sat night on hotwire. I had never used it, so I was expecting the worst.
First, we got to park our car close to the hotel, then we were able to get one of those bell hop carts so that we could take our stuff up. Score!
Check in was quick. I didn’t have time to unload the car, and my boyfriend was already back from check in. So far so good.
The room. Up until this point, I’m not expecting anything spectacular. Then, the door opens and after a quick, look around, I go «Wow». Our room, # 302, had: 1 bed, small closet, tv w/​3 drawer dresser, and a desk with a comfy desk chair! And I loved the bathroom! It was nice and spacious: shower/​bath combo, toilet, and one sink. The counter had plenty of space (I’ve stayed at the Hilton in SF whose counter space is tiny!!) and there were 3 shelves on the side. The shower head even had 3 different settings for you to choose from! The moment I stepped into the room, it just felt clean and taken care of. Oh, and you get 4 pillows for your bed! There’s also an iron and blow dryer in the room.
This hotel also has free wifi, and I’ll admit it was a bit inconvenient to have to re-​enter the wi-​fi code every so often. But it’s FREE so just deal with it!
Now let’s get to what amazed me: the FREE breakfast! And no, it’s not your typical pastry only selection. They had eggs, sausage patties, biscuits, sausage gravy, and it was always hot and stocked! They’ve got toast, muffins, hot cinnamon buns, and bagels. You can have: cereal, yogurt, cold eggs, packaged milk, and juice (orange, apple, and passionfruit mango). Oh, and coffee, and hot chocolate and apples, bananas and oatmeal! I think that completes my list. Doesn’t that sound good!!! Yeah, I was surprised.
In addition, you’ve got access to a pool and fitness center (complete with 2 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, one bike, and a couple of benches), both of which provide free towels. The gym even has cold water and a tv! I’m so glad I decided to take advantage of almost every feature of this hotel, except for the laundry room (yup, they’ve even got that).
For 40 bucks a night, and for the fact that most of my day was spent 5 miles away at a dancing event, I like to think that I took advantage of it all and thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

Location is ok. Not your safest place to stay in the area. But then again, it wasn’t too bad either. And affordable.
This location is about 10 mins to Palm Springs airport (a lot of signal lights), 15 – 20 mins to downtown Palm Springs, and a minute or so to the Big League Dreams if you’re in the area for a tournament.
Apparently some new Asian owners came in, purchased the place and remodeled this Holiday Inn Express. The lobby and dining area looks pretty spiffy. The room’s a bit dated but still not bad (needs a new flatscreen tv, new A/​C unit cause mine was damn loud when it kicked on and off). The room itself had plenty of space, nice beds and a nice bathroom. They also have new keyless locks.
My only CON to this Holiday Inn Express was the parking situation around the side and rear. The best bet is to park your ride in the front and walk a bit more.
Free wifi in each room, free morning hot breakfast and friendly front staff.
