“Simply the Best”

Old Ranch Inn

Apr 22, 2008

I am reluctant to share our experience for fear that making future reservations will be difficult if not impossible. Ed and Larry and their small staff make a visit a relaxing, and enjoyable experience - like visiting with " old friends ". Intend to return in the near future.

“Excellent Choice!!”

We love this place! The rooms are perfect. The pool is friendly and casual. It is in a perfect location. The owners are so helpful! We wish we had more "down" time so we could have fully enjoyed the property. We highly recommend the Old Ranch Inn.

“Trip Advisor 2008 Award Winner”

Old Ranch Inn

5 of 5 stars
San Francisco Bay Area
Apr 11, 2008

Well, what can I say. This was our third visit to the Old Ranch Inn, which has now become our favorite destination in Palm Springs.

The Inn is perfectly located within a very short walk to the main downtown area of Palm Springs. Of our 7 nights, we only took the car out twice. Everything else was within walking distance.

Ed the gardener does a fantastic job at keeping the grounds well groomed and inviting. It is extremely relaxing to float in the heated pool, sipping a cocktail, and take in the beautiful surroundings.

The guys recently won the 2008 Trip Advisor Best Hidden Gem and Best Bargain award which is proudly displayed in their office.

Keep up the “Great Work” Larry and Ed. See you soon…..:)

“A Calm Oasis”

Old Ranch Inn

Apr 11, 2008

We have just returned from 8 days at the Old Ranch. It was wonderful! The hotel is a delight and the owners are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The ambience made it feel more like a private house party than a hotel. If ever we find ourselves in Palm Springs again we would hope to stay at the Old Ranch.

P.S. Message for Ed: When I got home and enlarged my photos on the laptop, I had caught that elusive Humming Bird on two of them!

I was lucky enough to find this resort on the Internet. It was beautiful, extremely clean, quiet and peaceful. A great location just a few streets off Palm Canyon Drive yet a very quiet neighborhood. The property has calming waterfalls and fragrant flowers throughout. I would definitely stay again!
