I stayed 3 nights at this hotel. I had a serious air condition issue during my whole stay. On the second night the A\C gave error and started to not cooling. I couldn’t tell anyone as the property is a non-staff hotel. When I woke up I called customer care and they sent a technician a couple of hours later in the afternoon. He said he reset the a/c and said now is okay then left. The room size is big and the ven when the technician said it’s okay, there was really not perfect cooling in the room but I said myself it’s okay it’s better than having no a/c. However in the same night the a/c gave the same error and stop cooling again. It was a nightmare to trying to sleep without a proper air conditioning while 110 degrees heat wave in PS. I called customer care again on my checking out day yesterday. They said they are very sorry about all this inconvenience and they will get call me very soon. Since yesterday no-one called me actually. Hotel has nice decorated big rooms I really liked it when I first arrived. But air conditioning made my stay quite uncomfortable under dessert heat.

Fantastic hotel in beautiful Palm Springs. Highly recommend The Monkey Tree as an authentic slice of desert classic with a great pool / tub and sauna/cold plunge. Located away from the loud busy strip. Can’t wait to return

Very close to downtown and popular restaurants. Place was vintage, found it really cool. Great spot to stay with a large party. Parking wasn’t an issue when we were staying. You are looking at approx. 10 standard parking space, 2 for accessibility, and about 2 for EV. The suite we stayed was Presidential, it had 2 full baths which made me and my wife excited! Room was very colorful, lots of space. AC was blasting on cool which was a plus since it was almost 100°F when we visited. Room and facility was clean, no foul odor or smell. Easy to access, you have the main gate code and another for your room. The hotel does not have staffing active 24/7, so do note that if you need frequent assistance. Going back to the location, it was 20 minutes away from the Cabazon outlets and less than 1 hour away from Joshua Tree National Park. Also a few mins away from Elvis Presley’s Honeymoon Hideaway house which was sadly now private property but cool to look at.

Hidden gem in Palm Springs
What a cool hidden gem in Palm Springs! This spot was such a nice surprise find. Rooms were simple and clean, and we loved the hot tub and pool/patio area. Elise and staff were friendly. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

NO SHAMPOO! I have minimal requirements for most motels I stay in - a comfortable bed, relatively quiet, ice machine, working toilet and shower and soap and shampoo. This motel uses dispensers, not little bottles of shampoo where you can tell whether they are empty or not. After getting in and getting wet, I reached for the shampoo dispenser only to discover the dispenser was empty. I found no additional supply in my room and, since this motel is totally contactless ( which they seem to consider is a plus), there was no office to go to and person to speak with to get the problem fixed. There is a number to text, but I was wet and it was an hour before check out. Mini fridge worked and the loud a/c didn’t bother me, it actually blocked other sounds.

Need to update the room. Need paint, wood repair and shower repair. Need to clean the windows. Room only barely passable for appearance. No staff on the premise. We received two codes for the front gate and the room. I went for a walk in the morning to see the sunrise. Gate code didn't work when I returned so I was locked out.

Monkey Tree’s not bad
It’s a lovely property and the rooms surrounding the courtyard make it feel very much like staying in a private home. It’s unfortunate that planes start flying out overhead at 5am as I’m a light sleeper. I wish the hot tub and dunk pool were cleaner. And small details like a tripping hazard on the mat in my room should be taken care of. A little more care would make it a 5 star experience

There is a great pool and hot tub for relaxing swimming. The location was quiet and close enough to downtown that it was never more than a short drive to go anywhere, plus many convenient places in the immediate area too. The only thing I would change would be the door touchpad entry. I would have preferred physical buttons or a key.

If you want a kitschy experience in Palm Springs, this would fit the bill. The hotel property definitely has that mid-century vibe. And the pool area was very nice and manicured. The parking lot was a bit tight, but there are enough spots and we never had a problem finding one. They even had a few charging stations for EVs which came in handy. We stayed in room 1 which was large and had a private patio. Upon entering the room we were hit with a strong bleach smell. I’m weird and kinda like the smell of bleach but it was even a bit too much for me. We opened the slider and resolved that issue. Overall the room was ok, it definitely looked better in the pictures. I know it’s a mid-century vibe, but some things were a bit shoddy and in need of repair. For example, the shower could definitely use a regrouting, it was pretty really dingy and even with the bleach it didn’t look clean. The vanity (original to the hotel) could use a new paint job and hardware (what’s on there now is rusting and looked sloppy). The room could also use some throw rugs. I feel like this place could be a real gem if they just put a little bit of money and elbow grease into it. Location wise, the property is not near downtown but it’s not far. Also, I could have sworn that when I booked, bikes were available to use. That is not the case.

After I had arrived at Monkey Tree Wednesday March 22nd (for 3 day stay) l, I sat on the couch to relax. However, when I sat down, the couch sank very close to the floor. I had to crawl my way to getting off the floor. As I was getting back on my feet, I hurt my knee. This couch and matching chair was not safe for me to habitat there. Also, there was a matching set of bar stools with a table. I am unable to get up and balance on the bar stools. My ankle does not bend & have little ability to move. As stated in my request to have accommodations since I have a fused left ankle, there was no furniture except for the bed to sit on. Immediately I contacted the property. I reminded them I had inputed about my physical limitations when I made the reservation. They said there was nothing they could do to help me. Without any success, I called Expedia Customer Service. All I received was a recording that the office was on holiday. You advertised that "As a customer, I could get help 24/7." This was not the case. According the ADA regulations, I am suppose to get accommodations for my disability. So, I had to find accommodations elsewhere to address my disability. I require a full refund due to not fulfilling accommodations as I had originally requested.
