Where have you stayed in Palm Springs

[LOU LOU DISNEY]

Looking ahead for our California trip next summer. We want to fly to SF, then hire a car & drive to SAN Luis Obispo with stops in-between, maybe a night in Monterey. We then want to Fly to Palm Springs from SLO, then fly from PS to Seattle. I know it’s a lot of planes but we don’t have 2 weeks so driving will take longer.
Getting back to my original question, where have you stayed in PS & how many days do you think we need there? We’ll want to do the tram, is it easy to get about with a car? How big a place is it? Thank you 😊

ETA forgot to say we’ll be flying into SF & home from Seattle. So we wound get the other flights separate. We’ll have 10 nights or at a stretch 12.

Twice we have stayed at Best Western Plus Las Brisas Hotel. its located in the next street to the main 'drag' with restaurants etc. November 2019 we rented an AirBnB in Indio for our week after visiting Hawaii. You will really need a car for getting around in the day time as it will be too hot to stay by the pool. We had breakfast and time by/in the pool straight after, then site visiting from about 11am

Thanks I’ll check those out. I had looked at the Saguaro hotel as it does a free shuttle to/from airport & to downtown as well. Do you know anything about this place? Is it in the main area?

To be honest there isn't really that much to do in Palm Springs, it's a relax and golf place but in the height of Summer will be uncomfortable even for that. Without a car (to head out to Joshua Tree etc) then a 2-3 days max. Looking at your itinerary, unless you just have a real desire or specific reason to visit Palm Springs, I'd skip it and add more time elsewhere.

Hi again having another look at what you are doing and perhaps you are trying to cover to much and then miss out on some things in the places you are visiting.
ie Monterey , whale watching,aquarium,17 mile dr,carmel

Thanks for replying 😊
I’ve always wanted to go there as I want to visit the Joshua tree, Ariel tram & Elvis’s honeymoon house. I’ve been to LA & DLR before so definitely want to skip that this time & only want to drive that part of PCH ending in SLO. I’ve also been to SF but hubby hasn’t & wants to go & see the coast too. Then we both want to see Seattle so we would finish there then fly home.

We only would stay in Monterey the one night then drive to SLO with photo stops on the way.

As stated earlier we stayed in Indio (25 miles east of P.S.) 1st week of November and the heat was like the Med in the middle of summer. Our other 2 visits to PS were in September when the temperature was 105
