The reason I chose the Colony Palms... they are very dog friendly. It is a very hip, cool place with a feel from the Dean Martin era. The hotel guests are a great mix of gay and straight... All the staff at the Hotel were friendly lead by the hotel Mgr. Tim. The Sunday brunch is a must at the Blue Palm restaurant. The hotel is also a short walk to down town Palm Springs to one of my other food favs... the Blue Coyote restaurant. I'm looking forward to staying there in the future!

This is a charming hotel with a very helpful staff BUT the thermostat is set at 72 degrees and ran at 74 degrees. No one can change it to a lower OR higher temperature. I was unable to sleep in the heat. People may wish a warmer or cooler room for various reasons, but you can't have this here. If this were an environmental reason, then there would be solar panels, recycling bins, native plants, and fluorescent bulbs. There was none of that, so the reason must be to save money.
