Marquis Villas Resort - Palm Springs

You have to park and then walk into the lobby. You can't park right at the entry into the hotel. Was very satisfied with everything. The undergound parking was a real plus with the temperature at 100 degrees.

Our villa was large and comfortable with separate bedroom and convenient kitchen. The carpet & furnishings are showing wear but OK. Great location for walking to downtown and good restaurants. BUT...the Marquis advertises a "fitness center" which was quite pitiful. A couple machines all in need of repair/maintenance and three sets of dumbells - 20#. […] 40# & 60# - that's it. This was very disappointing. I also tried to get bottled water out of three different vending machines in the building. Machines took my money but no bottled water came out. Front desk did refund the money lost in the machines and told me the machines aren't stocked with water. Then why is it offered on the front of every vending machine??? Considering the cost of our stay, I expected a more updated facility and certainly a better equipped fitness center. Gates to pool & fitness center are chained off & closed until 8:00 AM which I found annoying & inconvenient. Read more

UNLESS YOU OWN A TIME SHARE HERE, DO NOT BOOK. The hotel section of this property is grossly outdated, run down and not kept. The Time share portion is very nice leaving unsuspecting hotel patrons to be massively disappointed. The beds are so broken down and there is no daily cleaning service.

Great downtown location. One bedroom suites are large with 2 bathrooms - great for sharing. The carpets in the rooms need to be upgraded and the beds are definitely past their 'use-by' dates. Pull out sofa unusable - would be more comfortable to sleep on the floor. Pool area was very nice. An upgrade to beds and carpets would make this a fabulous place […] to stay. Read more

Large suite with full kitchen, large terrace, a little shabby, but has a swanky Dean Martin feel.

The hotel is definitely the largest hotel I've ever stayed in! A full kitchen, 2 full baths, and a giant living room and separate bedroom! The appliances and electronics are dated, but if you don't care about that and want a nice large room to stay in, and be able to cook some of your meals in house, this is the place!

Wifi not working in room. Housekeeping didn't do a very good job cleaning our room. The lounge chairs surrounding pool in poor condition. Carpeting needs to be cleaned as it is very filthy. We stay here because of it's location. The front desk was very helpful.

Location was great! Spacious unit. Fabulous amenities, pool, tennis, hot tub...Unit/hotel EXTREMELY "dated". At the very minimum, new bedding is needed. Yvonne at front desk was NOT helpful at all! Heard the same complaint from others. Rooms facing Taquitz way so loud (traffic) we could not sleep, but once we were moved it was fine. I would stay ag […] ain~ Read more

The staff was very nice and accommodating but the room needed some serious TLC. The carpets were torn and stained, the couches/chairs were worn out but covered with newer covers, and the mattresses were thin and worn out. Great location though and the price was right at a 50% discount from hotels.com.

I cannot fathom the positive review for this place. Although the staff were very nice, the room was horrid. If all you are looking for is a large room with a kitchen and huge bathroom, then I suppose you will be happy here, but if you would like anything else, you are going to be gravely disappointed. The wallpaper was literally tearing off the walls, […] the television was from circa 1989, the oder was dank and the bed was incredibly uncomfortable (the blanket didn't even fit the size of the mattress). I think this would be an appropriate place to stay if all you are interested in is saving money and having a ton of space in the room, but if you want to enjoy your room at all and are not used to staying in low-quality motels, you are going to be very unhappy in the villas.

I was surprised with the size of the room - very large for the price. Could have been very nice but there were a number of things that made the stay just so - so. Little things like no TV remote, shower not working properly, no iron in the room, etc. made it feel like the place isn't kept up. Location is great, though.

Very pleased with the size of the room and bathroom. Older hotel with good ammenities... pool, hot tub, gym, pool table. Super friendly staff. Only real disappointment was the matresses, especially on the pull out couch. We pulled ours off the couch and put it on the floor. Kids thought it was much better. Great location to the convention center, w […] alkable. Read more

Loved the spaciousness of the room. It just needs a serious redecorating facelift. Room was clean and kitchen was great. Very close to the convention center.

Furnishings were sparse and rather "dinged up" but good for the value.

The decor may be antiquated yet the rooms are huge and clean, and the staff are polite and professional. Each suite is 1000 square feet with a full kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a massive balcony. I recommend it to anyone traveling in a group or simply looking for a spacious bargain.

I loved the hotel the staff was very helpful and friendly our room was very clean and pretty big. The kitchen was stocked with everything you can possibly need and the bathrooms were HUGE. We will definatly stay here again when we go to palms.

Carpets of the hallway very crease and bad deterioration with holes need to be replase

Originally had 2 nights booked then added another night and then added 2 more nights for a total of 5 nights. The room is very large with 2 bathrooms and a fireplace, full kitchen, large bathtub. Very comfortable. A little loud because we were on the road side. The only problem is no internet in the room have to go to the end of the hall or down to […] the lobby. They have big porter dollies to bring up your suitcases to the room, very convenient. We would definitely stay again, you could stay a long time and be very comfortable here. We highly recommend the Marquis Villas Resort Read more

This hotel is in need of remodeling. Most of the other reviews on this place are accurate about being out of date but clean ring true. I have two major complaints about my stay: 1. The thermostat on the heater was locked and I couldn't control room temperature. The room was set a 62 degrees and it was a very cool at night. When I called the front desk […] on the first day, they said they would send up maintenance when they got in and they would set the thermostat on override. This happened, but when we returned to our room that evening, the thermostat was at 62 degrees again. The override was still in effect, so I thought the maid turned the heat down and I changed the temperature. The next morning when we woke up, the room was again cool and the thermostat was set at 62. The problem with the thermostat is due to it's programming, and the override stays in effect until the next scheduled change in it's programming. 2. The mattresses are probably as old as the furniture and too soft. I had backaches each morning. My other complaints about this place are: No WIFI in the rooms, plus I booked a 1 bedroom King suite and got 2 Double beds instead. Read more

Great Location but the two units we rented were very much dated. The carpet had numerous patches, mattresses were soft and lumpy. The location was fantansic and if we were to stay there again we would request a UPDATED UNIT.

Will come back

my wife and i stayed here for chrismas with our 2 kids we had great time here the staff was great

After reading the previous reviews I did not expect much but was pleasantly surprised. It appears that some of the rooms have been updated...particularly those that overlook the pool. It was spacious and delightful. The folks at the desk were pleasant, positive and helpful. There is coffee in the lobby each day and the location was outstanding. I will […] definitely stay there again. Read more

I could not believe that internet is so traumatic at this hotel. It is a very cool hotel but I CANNOT stay there again as I NEED internet in order to work. Only a few rooms have it and "we cannot guarantee it" said the front desk. The lower room (no view) had it and it worked okay.. then it stopped!!! It is baffling why this hotel would think that internet […] is so unimportant in 2012.... so adios any business travellers. Read more

I've stayed in this hotel before in the past. Have been going to Palm Springs for 20 years now. The rooms are huge and it is in downtown Palm Springs which is great...they just need to update the decor a lot.

We've now stayed here 3 times. Great location and great comfortable rooms! Rooms just a bit dated as could use new carpet. We will most definitely return again

Overall, its a great place to stay. BUT, the hotel needs a major overhall. Cabinets, appliances, beds, carpet, fixtures & almost everything else must be replaced. Plumbing issues also...

The location is great, easy walking distance to the casino, shops, and restaurants. The staff was very friendly throughout our stay. The hotel itself was clean, but rather outdated. The pool area is nice, plus the tennis courts were a bonus! Overall, I would recommend, however, be aware of the following which vary from the hotel description: wifi is […] only available in the lobby, the game room consists of a pool table, and apparently not all rooms include a seperate shower/tub. Read more

Needs upgrade in some areas, but overall fairly clean. Great location. Staff very helpful.

My party and I checked in on Saturday December 31st and the outlets in our room were not working so we called the front desk and the maintanance guy came and stated that their was a switch that had to be turned on. As soon as he left we turned on the switch and still several outlets were not working as well as two lamps. The iron was also broken. The […] room size was big however it was out dated. The televisions were very small and the lights through out were very dimmed. The main shower's handle didn't work very well. We had to play with it for a while before getting it warm. The only thing that I was satisfied with was the bed it was comfortable everything else I was not satisfied with and will never stay there again nor I will recommend it to my friends or anyone I know.

I originally booked 2 nights, then added another, then after seeing our room I added 2 more nights for a total of 5. It is just a few short blocks to downtown Palm Springs and next to the Spa casino. Many reviews said it was old but it is clean and very comfortable. My only complaint is the wi-fi is not in the room. You do not have to go down to the […] lobby you can get it at the end of the hallway. They have bellman carts in the parking garage to bring up your suitcases. Elevators a little slow. All in all a wonderful place with very helpful front desk staff. Read more

In general we liked the hotel and had a nice stay. The staff were especially nice and that makes a big differerece. We noticed, however the rooms over looking the pool had been updated. We had a few suggestions for improvement including: -repair 1 toilet that did not always flush completely - replacement TV remote in the bedroom with one that works - […] add additional equipment in kitchen such as dish soap, fry pan spatula, etc. - double bed a little soft in the middle possible should be replaced. Thank you! Read more

Do not look further and book this hotel if you find any special price on this hotel. You get everything atleast 4 times worth of your money and a very nice elegant hotel with spacious suites (villas).

Great room (suite) and huge (double) bathroom and large balcony and kitchen. And fireplace! Great pool, spa and tennis courts. Perfect location to downtown Palm Springs; don't need car. I was aware of resort fee, and was OK. I believe there is no internet in rooms, only in lobby, but OK for me. Old fashioned (TVs, fittings), but work great. Again, WONDERFUL […] room (suite) & bathroom. Heater is a trifle noisy for sleeping in "living room" (sofa sleeper). Only wish: bedroom could be locked off the living, and bedroom side of bathroom could be locked off the living side bathroom. Read more

We love to stay at villa marquis hotel. We'll come back soon. The staffs are very helpful and friendly. and we feel like were home thanks again.

Beds, Space, Cleaniliness, All the necessities, Great big Balconies, quiet space, just GREAT !

Okay, the bed drooped in the middle... Def needs an upgrade. The shower was like a fire hose, too hard & water splatter all over. My friend got a hot shower, however, I wasn't so lucky... Burrrrrrr!!!!!! The plus side was the staff. Wesley and Sarah saved me $40 on a cab & told us of a great bar/restuarant that we walked to (las casuelas terrazas, sooooo […] good), so it was great. The space of the room was awesome too. I'd go back there, but would just wish for a more comfy bed & a hot shower :) Read more

This hotel is older, but the rooms are spacious. It is in dire need of a renovation. I have stayed here many times. Great location. It is nice to have a kitchen and fireplace. The only problem was that our shower only had scalding hot water. Luckily, there is a separate bathtub. When we told the front desk about the problem, they said that the maintanence […] worker could adjust the temp. for us. I really don't think that I want to call the maintenence worker at seven in the morning to fix the problem, while I was standing around in a towel. I guess this is a problem in a lot of the rooms.

The hotel was nice considering size but the mattress was uncomfortable and there is no wifi inside the rooom, it's only in the lobby. Kitchen is cool but needs liquid dishwashing detergent not just powder machine washing detergent. The balcony was huge which was a plus and the bath tub was quite large and roomy.

We like staying at this hotel because it is within walking distance of everything we need. Restaurants, Casino and Movie Theater...... Nice Pool and Spa, beds are comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

Carpets need upgrade, TV has no DVD player, microwave is antequated. Suite is spacious and in a good location. Needs an upgrade to 2011 standards. Rates are good for the size and amenities.
