Excellent Downtown Palm Springs Locations

My husband and I enjoyed the convenient downtown Palm Springs location. It's close to everything if you are vacationing or have business in the immediate downtown area. The Palm Springs Film Festival was in full swing and the hotel is within walking distance to most of the theaters.
I agree with another reviewer regarding how quiet it is being so close to many noisy bars. We had a poolside room in Building B, so I imagine that was the reason it was quieter than perhaps a third floor room facing the main drive. Also, the pool was about 4 steps away from our door through a gate.
We would definitely stay at this hotel again.
Modest accomodations, outstanding service

The hotel is lovely from the outside, as it looks like a mediterranean resort. The breezeways and pool area are all well maintained. There is a pool-side bar which adds some "resort" ambiance. Also, the staff were all exceptionally pleasant and helpful. If you're not planning on spending much time in the room, then you can't beat the price and location (only 1 block from the main downtown area). As we travelled during the summer (when it's VERY hot), we often sought respite in the air-conditioned room. I found the room cramped for a family of 3. There was little room to store a suitcase, and even less room on the bathroom counter for personal items. The breakfast is average, but you do get a choice of waffle or omelet, in addition to cereals and bread items.

I travel constantly for work and decided to book the Las Brisas based on price and location. I compared several upscale hotels including the Hilton as I am a Gold Honors member there but for the money, this place is simply hard to beat. If you require being pampered in luxury, don't stay here. If you want to pay for all the extras such as breakfast and Internet access, this ain't the place for you!
Stayed in Building A, 3rd floor with great view of the Mountains. The hotel is located just off the strip near LA PLAZA but I assure you, you can throw a stone at it. I have never written a hotel review before until now. This place was excellently managed and the property is a large amount of character including Spanish architecture with several nooks and fountains. The pool bartender was great to talk to and very helpful. The prices are extremely reasonable (its off season here though) for food and drinks. There are large pool towels are available from the front desk (very friendly staff) and was NOT treated like a second class citizen because I booked via an online travel site. In fact, I was upgrade for free.
My room was large and adequately decorated, clean and included a computer table with coffee maker, another table with chairs and a king size bed that was very comfortable. The wireless access worked flawlessly and my signal and speed were great! It was quiet, clean and comfortable and beautifully landscaped. Stay here versus the large ?cookie cutter? brand names that nickel and dime you.
P.S The tram ride up the mountain was an awesome experience! It's well worth the $*.
Watch out for Overseas Phone charges

Front Desk was not very helpful in acknowledging that a 52 min phone call to Australia (of all places - I would not even know how to place a call here) was obviously not made by anyone in my family (we were at dinner w/cc receipt the very time the phone charge was noted). Hopefully, Best Western will intercede and make things right. Otherwise, our hotel stay was adequate.
We enjoyed the stay

My husband and I enjoyed the mission style hotel and it's laid back environment, lots of shade, fountains,places to sit and read and drink a cup of coffee, oh and don't forget the inviting pool. It was a little oasis in the sun. Very Cute It was safe and very close to downtown.
