What guests think

Hotel Zoso earns praise for its excellent downtown location within easy walking distance of restaurants, bars and shops, plus generally spacious rooms and consistently friendly, accommodating staff that many guests highlight as a key strength of their stay.

The vibe skews lively, with weekend pool parties and loud music that can carry into some rooms, and occasional noise from the adjacent nightclub. Several reviews cite limited amenities or closures—bars, café, pool service and restaurant often shut, especially on weekdays—and an understocked gym and sparse pool seating/shade. Cleanliness and upkeep feel inconsistent, from stained hallway carpets and debris around the pool to delayed or by-request housekeeping and intermittent maintenance issues like AC, ice machines, and room fixtures. Expect a central, social stay rather than a quiet, full-service resort.

Facilities

Pool scene is lively but often criticized for limited seating/shade, a shallow depth, and a dated, concrete-heavy look; pool bar/service and other amenities are frequently closed, especially on weekdays. Valet and the airport shuttle are positives, while the gym is minimal.

Overall the hotel is in great location but limited service. Often the bar is closed. Pool area the water steams were not working. Not enough staff to keep the service going. But due to location we had a lot of other options to explore the area. Overall I give 4 stars for great locations and ambiance.

Perfect spot for getting around downtown Palm spring shopping and restaurants.Valet parking was included in the room charge which made it convenient. Lobby was beautiful and clean as well as a bar surrounded by a giant screen. Mountain views were picturesque from the pool deck made taking a dip relaxing .

Hotel is centrally located so you can easily walk to shops and restaurants. The facilities at the hotel were disappointing. I didn’t think March would be off-season but there was no open restaurant (only a limited bar menu), no pool bar or wait service while we were there, and in general, the place felt understaffed. It would be nice to know what amenities are available each month.

Great property, the hotel and rooms were lovely, very big rooms and finished to a good standard, the area around the pool is a little tired compared to the rest of the property My only complaint is nothing was open! Don’t know if it was because I was there on a weekday but I never saw the pool bar open once and only saw the main bar open 1 evening in my stay, and also never saw the cafe open, was a little disappointed as I would have liked to sit around pool with a drink

The hotel lobby and room size was great. Hall ways had a lot of stains on the rug. Doesn't look like it was vacuumed in a week. The pool area was in really dirty. Empty cans and plastic cups laying around and under furniture. Doesn't look like anyone was out there to straighten up the pool area in awhile. The pool deck was filthy too. Lots of stains that hadn't been cleaned up. Great location, this could be a really nice place if some cleaning details were addressed.

It’s really a shame that this hotel has so much unrealized potential. Great location. Good bones, but it is so run down and dirty. The pool area is especially run-down and dirty. We were there for 3 days and there was the same dirty cups, trash, and spills on the concrete the entire visit. The cushions on the recliners were so stained, I didn’t want to sit on them. There were spill stains and used Q-tips on our patio. It’s as if no-one cleaned up the area at all. All of the concrete needs a power wash which I saw them using in the front entrance of the hotel. We were there during the week and unfortunately there was no service in the pool area and the lobby bar closed at 9:00 even though there were 5 customers sitting there. The rooms were clean, although there were definitely some worn spots on the bathroom wall and sticky glue on the sliding glass door. I will be finding another place to stay next time we go to Palm Springs.

Stayed here for three nights the first night that we checked in we had to change rooms three times because the rooms were not clean. They got us new sheets for the third room and we had to put the sheets on ourselves. We got a phone call from the manager saying they were going to compensate the first night and the fees of the hotel room, but I have not received an email or anything of such. Not sure if their vacuum does not work, but the floors were disgusting and the beds were dirty and so were the bathrooms. There was a fingernail and a dead bug in one of the rooms also. The next day I asked for the room to be serviced by the maid and she told me that she did not speak English then I started to speak to her in Spanish and she got upset because I asked her to clean the room and change the sheets for us.The front Desk was great and so was the valet. Great location in downtown Palm Springs, this would be a great hotel if they kept up on the cleanliness

Staff provided us an older room with water damage on the ceiling. We paid extra for a city view and were given a view of an abandoned hotel that was all chained up called marquis villa. I found an insect in the bed on night one and ended up getting bites on my leg. So did the guy I came with. Neighbors were noisy. Felt like a Carnival cruise and not a relaxing 4 star PS resort.

The pool was not clean during the day. It would be in the morning, but the filtration system wasn't consistently working, to keep guck, debris, etc., out of the pool. It was a bit disgusting, especially since it is only 3.5' deep. The staff though were very nice, helpful, and accommodating. Especially the cleaning room staff, as you don't get room cleaning unless it is requested, and the staff was very kind when approached about switching out towels, etc. Lastly, the techno music at the two pool parties was extremely loud and could had been mixed up with some other tunes in between all the techno/bumping to accommodate a few different tastes.

The convenience of the location was good, but the room was dirty. There were eyelashes in the bathroom, a broken fingernail, a staple and a piece of glass on the room floor, and besides those things the room just wasn’t clean. It was really disappointing and very unsanitary. Even though the location was good, and any staff(even though not many that we encountered) was nice, we will never stay here again and would not recommend.

I will never stay here again. The rooms are old and dingy. I had to call for room service the minute I checked in. There was hair on my bed, poop droppings around the toilet and the bathtub/shower had broken tile and mildew. There is so many other places to stay in PS - not here!

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous in the lobby and like 200 feet from everything you want to do in Palm Springs. We got to the hotel and they said they over booked so we were “upgraded” from our deluxe king bed to a pool view with two queens. Pool view is cool if you want to hear the music at the pool all day but not quite what we were there for. And my boyfriend and I were a little sad to not get our king bed we’d been looking forward to. But this place is literally 200 feet from everything. Everytime I needed directions it was less than a block away. Location amazing Pool amazing if you’re here for that I liked the balcony’s in every room Some of the fixtures in the bathroom as well as the tub need to be upgraded soon but it is just a gorgeous hotel Just bummed about the “upgrade”

This hotel has a very cool vibe in the lobby, and the staff is so kind, and the location is amazing…..BUT unfortunately the rooms are dated and the beds //pillows are not comfortable and the tv was old and small. Also, be warned that this is a party hotel so if you are looking for relaxation this is NOT your place. We had no idea and the LOUD pool party music blasted into our room for 5 hours, and there was drag bingo happening in the lobby. Not a chill hotel at all.

They need to have more staff for a busy event weekend like Coachella. We couldn’t check in until after 5pm when we had requested a 1pm early check in over a week ahead of time. The staff were lovely, it wasn’t their fault, but management needs to pay more people at those peak times.

I found this gem when my family and I went to visit my older brother in Palm Springs. Two sibling arguments later is when I realized I needed my own space. I snatched the last (non-smoking) room the app was showing they had available, so you can imagine I was not expecting anything fancy….just somewhere to sleep for the night. I pulled up to the front to check in and the valet staff were very welcoming and friendly. They immediately addressed my questions (i.e. I asked if they had a parking lot for guests and/or visitors, but it turns out they only have valet). I wish I had more time and energy to explore, but immediately upon entering, the place is clean, modern, and has a DJ playing some music I enjoy. I learned that this was known as one of the “party” hotels which I personally don’t mind. I didn’t witness anything too crazy and the lobby was surprisingly calm for a Saturday evening. This is in downtown off the main road. Lots of people coming and going late evening/early morning (probably after being at the nearby clubs/bars) - again, this did not bother me personally, but it’s something to consider if you’re seeking a more quiet, family-friendly hotel. Lastly, I wish I remembered his name, but the guy helping me check in was awesome. I was not in the best mood when I got there, but he made small talk, suggested some places to eat and things to do during my very short stay. Super fun to talk to - they were hosting drag bingo & I almost asked him to join me LOL! THANK YOU!

Checking in we received a bit of an attitude from the person behind the counter which was odd. Then in the evening time, so many kids running in the hallway. I was informed that security was alerted and they were trying to gather the kids. Where were the parents? Wanted to get water, the vending machine did not work, called room services and they said they would not bring me water and I had to go downstairs to get water. When I went downstairs I had to get water from the bar at $5 per bottle, seriously?

We didn't like that there wasn't a restaurant on the property. No continental breakfast. Coffee shop on property only had 2 options of danishes and the coffee was horrible. The room coffee and creamer were the worst I ever had. Room was a bit runned down and things were noticeable not repaired correctly. Pool area was messy and not kept up for the entire day. No pool side bar available, no lobby bar/lounge service available. We felt fortunate that we missed the heavier weekend crowd and mess.
