6/10 Good

We have stayed at the O’ Spa before and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, however; our last visit here was a total letdown. When we arrived for check-in our room was not ready until 6pm in the evening due to the previous guest flooding the floors somehow. We waited patiently until it was cleaned. The pool was in rough condition as there appeared to be dark spotting all over the walls. Mold? Not sure but it was not like this before. We understand that the resort is pet friendly, but when we arrived and entered the hotel, we walked past several dog turds that remained there for most of the day. It was an absolute eye sore. Lastly, our room had very large cockroaches in the kitchen that would appear when we would turn the lights off in the kitchen. We had to throw all our food away that we had left on the table to enjoy at a later time. The O’ Spa used to be one of our favorite hotels to visit in Palm Springs. Ownership and customer service has always been outstanding, however; the cleanliness and quality has severely dropped with time. Truly unfortunate.

Not the place it once was
The O spa has unfortunately gone downhill. The mattresses are pretty bad and the rooms are pretty beat up overall. We stayed in two rooms. One had no toilet paper holder and neither bathroom has shelving to place toiletries. Shower head fell off while showering. The big pool was visibly dirty when we arrived. The communal kitchen was never cleaned for the 6 days I was there. Dishwasher doesn’t work either. The worst part was there are not staff working to help guests and the owner doesn’t respond to text messages. Rick should either invest and get the place cleaned up or sell to someone who cares about the rooms and servicing guests.

2/10 Poor

We had to drive through homes filled with trash, saw a homeless man sleeping on a mattress in a tree, there was another man who looked like he was high or drunk walking down the street. All parking was on a gravel curb, there was a gravel lot next door which was filled with broken lumber, an old gutted car, a window of the spa was missing, and a home made fire pit. The front door had a ring security button which we pushed and no one answered. The double doors were locked and a phone number posted to call another number, so I called it. The guy answered, I told him I had a reservation but everything was locked up tight. My sister said it’s kind of sketchy out here and I said I would like to cancel our reservation. He said they are the highest rated spa in the area, then became rude saying good luck getting a refund, called us rude and said they didn’t want us staying with them. I did not feel safe standing on the steps calling a posted number on the door, let alone being on lock down and unable to return from the 80th birthday party late at night and being expected to stand on the steps to call a number to get into our room. My sister took pictures if your interested in seeing what I’ve described. We went over to Desert Hot Springs Spa and got their last room. At least our car was behind a security gate with a code to come and go as needed.

I stayed in the Bowie room. It was a good experience; I would like to visit again when it is not summer. I believe during other season, there are more staff on ground. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my time spent there. (Like the relative closeness to everywhere I typically go to in the DHS / PS area.)

2/10 Poor

We got the bungalow, which was $899 per night, sat first glance the space looked amazing, 2 bedrooms, 2 bath, 3 tvs, kitchen and dinning room, but soon we saw a huge red stain on sofa, that looked like blood of some kind. The stain looked very fresh and as it wasn’t clean right. We also realized that one of the showers had no water, the place was filthy, spider webs everywhere, no soap in any of the bathrooms, the furniture was filthy, I felt grossed out so I wanted to see how clean it was, I took a paper towel and ran it on the kitchen surface all dirty, the dinning table dirty, this place was dirty, besides that, the TVs didn’t. Work any of them, out of the 3 TVs we only had 1 remote and that one would show an errro.it looks as whoever runs this place have given out and let go, it’s nasty! I have been coming here for years, and it’s never been this dirty. Also, my dog was attacked by the resort owner (who lives there,l) dog pack, they are very territorial and I wouldn’t recommend letting your dog lose around them. This ruined out Ientier trip as my dog was now too anxious to go potty, it was just one bad thing after another. We couldn’t wait to get out ther.
