Okay, they had my booking, BUT, they needed a 100 dollar deposit, which has been debited from my account TWICE and not returned. Also, a deposit for what, there was not even a remote in the room for the TV, which had a grand total of 20 channels. For a king size suite room, no trash can, we took our own trash out. The waiter in the evening was a slacker, and I worked at country clubs and fine dining restaurants in the Palm Springs area and know the buis. well you live and learn and I learned I'd rather stay at motel 6.

I stayed here in November with my two children while visiting my girlfriend. I wanted someplace close to her and this ended up being two blocks away, so that part was perfect. After reading reviews on this site I was pretty scared about staying here. One thing I will say to travelers is that if you do not like the desert, stay away. In the summer it is hot, very hot and the winds blow hard all year. Anyone with common sense should be able to figure this out driving in when they see the farms of wind generators along hwy 10.
I was back in the area at christmas time and the weather was beautiful, that is the perfect time to visit to avoid the heat.
Anyway, back to the room. For everyone who complained about paying over $100 a night to stay there all I can say is , book in advance and online, the rates are much lower. I paid about $60 a night for two queen beds with a kitchenette. The kitchen was a joke, very small and the fridge rocked. I had to call to have a microwave brought in. The room was about the same qaulity as an older motel 6. The room wasn't that bad, just the finish work was very sloppy and incomplete. The worse part about it was the shower. The water temp fluctuated constantly. I could hardley get showered because of it, from freezing to scorching in seconds!
The highlite of the place is the pool and hot tub area. The water did not stink as some have said. They are volcanic hot springs, not mineral hot springs. The water was very clear and the pool was pleasantly warm. There are two hot tubs, one enclosed and one open air. both are nice but the one inside is too hot for me. many like water that hot though, just not me. The pool are was nice and the fake stone everywhere was a little corny, but cute. everyplace needs their own gimmic, they chose this one.

Over all I would say that for the price it was not that bad, the only reason I would not stay there again is because of the shower. I really like a constant temerature.

My girlfriends and I just just got back from a four day vacation at the hotel, we had stayed at the La Toscana Resort before and had a fun time so we diecited to go again. This time was alittle different than the last, the rooms (we booked two) seemed cleaner than before, and unlike last time when we had a few minor maintenance issues ( A lamp didn't work, the air conditioner was slow) everything went very smooth. We also noticed that the pool was a lot cleaner, not that it was dirty before, but it was very clear this time. Also the last time we were here it was a little dark outside at night, well we were very happy to see how lit up it was when we arrived. When we told the girl at the front desk about our stay, she said that she was happy to hear it, and to expect further improvements in the future due to the new management, she also gave us some coupons for our next visit. We were very happy with our visit, and we be returning in November!

We made the mistake of choosing La Toscana based in large part on their web site, which made the property look very inviting. What a mistake ! If there's such a thing as false advertising on a web site, La Toscana comes about as close as you can. The property is well past it's prime (which might have been about 20 years ago), I'd compare it now to a lower scale budget motel. The landscaping was in severe need of work (lots of unplanted dirt at the entry, dead palm fronds in the driveway, the patio sunscreen roof, visible at the 2nd floor level, was full of debris), the "waterfalls' were virtually non-existant; the coffee shop inside looked like something out of the 60's; the room itself was clean for the most part (although we had to change rooms,as the creaky old air conditioner in the first one didn't work, and the second room's unit wasn't much better); the towels are the thickness of a Kleenex (and one was stained with an unidentifiable dark blotch, the size of a quarter); the mini-fridges in both rooms were unplugged, and had puddles of water in the freezer section; the shower head must have came from a prison; the hot water was lukewarm, quite surprising, as the temperature outside were above 100 degrees. The one night we spent here was more than enough for us. There are two much nicer properties just a block up the street - so skip La Toscana !
