What guests think
Reviews of El Morocco Inn & Spa highlight its tranquil Moroccan-themed ambience, hot spring pools and spa services, with many guests praising friendly staff and relaxing common areas that feel like an oasis once inside the property.
Service is widely described as friendly and accommodating, though a few reported frazzled staff or check-in hiccups during late arrivals. Several reviews note aging or deferred maintenance and occasional cleanliness issues, including musty rooms, a dirty or dated hot tub, and minor repairs needed. Breakfast is convenient but often basic, while beverages like French press coffee and mint tea lemonade receive praise, and the surrounding neighborhood feels run down or less walkable despite the property itself feeling quiet and enclosed. Expect a relaxing, character-filled soak-and-spa escape with some compromises.

Love this hotel for a quiet getaway and nice hot spring water . The hotel has lost some of its former charm when the old owner Bruce was at the hotel. The hot tub spa that is beautiful is sadly dirty , the water is murky and has bubbles on top. The rooms are still in good shape and creatively decorated. The pool is clean and the water is clear .

This is truly an oasis in the middle of the California desert! It has a remarkable feeling of being in a beautiful Riyadh in Morocco, with so many gorgeous pieces of Moroccan furniture, tile, and art. The hot spring pool and jacuzzi, plus excellent spa services, are special. We had a wonderful couple's massage. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience a Moroccan hammam in America.

The inn is a fabulous place to stay. this was our third time staying at the location and it never disappoints. The hot springs and saunas are amazing and a real treat, The staff is quite friendly, there's available tea at all hours, water and lemonade is available for all. As a bonus, the film CASABLANCA is playing around the clock! clean, luxurious, and a trip to appreciate!

Moroccan theme is well done in the rooms and around the property. Enjoyed the 2 good size pools, one outside, one enclosed hot pool. The hot mineral spring pools are the main reason we stayed here. Breakfast provided was satisfying and convenient. It’s a gem in a city that’s had better days.

Immediate amazing first impression. Walking in you smell the wonderful spa essential oils, front desk is so nice, cute little tour of all the amenities. They have spa like music near the 24 hour pool. The decor is so beautiful. Great spots to lounge and relax. I can’t think of one bad thing, can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful property! Loved the theme, the decor, the relaxing atmosphere, and how quiet it is. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. The free water, coffee, and lemonade were such nice touches, especially during this excessive heat. The pool and hot tub were both so relaxing and peaceful. Loved all the cool lounge areas and the personal DVD collection and ability to watch whatever you'd like to in your rooms was cool too. We did not partake in any of the spa treatments, but I imagine they are nice too. The hotel staff was super helpful and let us check in way early because we didn't want to leave our luggage in the car. So thankful for a beautiful stay!

The hotel has funky Moroccan décor that made it much more interesting than your typical econo-box hotel in this prices range. The location in Desert Hot Springs is off the beaten path but this means a 15-30 minute drive to a decent restaurant if you're not interested in one of local pizza or Mexican establishments. The grounds are a bit run down and the room had a musty smell but they did offer 3 saunas, a pool, a large hot tub and other amenities including a 24/7 airing of Casa Blanca. Beware of the limited check in window.

It is funky and old but clean and we thought, very cozy. The included breakfast was a welcome surprise. The always-available huge hot tub, pool, and saunas were great. Also, we've been to Morocco, and we appreciated all the art and architecture to make it feel like you're there.

This is a unique property in that it is adults only, therefore, quiet and relaxing by the pool area. Loved the 24 hour running of Casablanca in the room outside of where spa services are done. The masseuse I had, Carla, was awesome. Best massage I have had in years. I would go back to experience that again, although she works there only from October to May. The room was a little too dark for me, and the bathroom had limited space to put your things. Glad I had a hanging cosmetic bag!

spa offerings were nice and the place has a lot of charm. The bed was too soft (hurt my back) and the staff was a little frazzled -- there's just one person running back and forth from the office to helping guests and it was a bit harried. Breakfast could have been better as well...just ok.

I absolutely loved my stay here at the Morocco inn and spa. While we arrived late, the staff was being courteous the entire time. Small, quaint, relaxing I definitely felt taken back to those Humphrey Bogart days the dedication to theme was amazing. The cats, the random camels here and there it was all the nice touches. I was even pleasantly surprised to take away a breakfast bag home I was able to soak in the mineral pool and it was beyond amazing. I had the desert Mirage spa treatment, and it was heavenly and worth every penny, this Hass to be the best staycation ever. I can’t wait to bring my girlfriends Here for our relaxing Mommy getaway thank you so much for your hospitality and can’t wait to see you again. Debbie was beyond amazing. She made me laugh and made me feel welcome.

This is our 3rd year celebrating my birthday at this lovely venue, we absolutely love the Moroccan theme, the spa services are amazing, the rooms are gorgeous!!! The only reason I did not offer 5 stars is because the neighborhood no longer feels safe. When we arrived a very tattered person was creating a home in the dumpster 5-10 feet from the door. He eyed all the cars coming in and out as he pulled items from the dumpster. He remained there our entire stay. I could tell other customers were also a little uneasy as two were musicians and opted to bring their entire drum set up a flight of stairs to avoid leaving the items in the car. I would definitely not feel safe venturing out to the car without my fiance. Perhaps adding a security patrol might be useful...

Great place. Looks a little strange from the front but when you go inside it all opens up into a lovely welcoming pool with rooms around it.

I absolutely love the unique moroccan vibe this property offers. Add this to the outstanding warm, friendly customer service and the amazing spa treatments and you've got a place I am happy to return to year after year. Love it!!! Note: The Inn is nestled in a safe community 20 minutes SW of Palm Springs, but the blocks just outside of it are a little sketchy, but I always feel safe on property.

The hotel has funky Moroccan décor that made it much more interesting than your typical econo-box hotel in this prices range. The location in Desert Hot Springs is off the beaten path but this means a 15-30 minute drive to a decent restaurant if you're not interested in one of local pizza or Mexican establishments. The grounds are a bit run down and the room had a musty smell but they did offer 3 saunas, a pool, a large hot tub and other amenities including a 24/7 airing of Casa Blanca. Beware of the limited check in window.

Description says miles from Palm Springs. Misleading. More like 30 mins. Facility is old, run down and smelly. Staff is unfriendly. Area is run down and looks unsafe. Would not recommend

Complimentary continental breakfast is available but quality feels basic or disappointing to several; many appreciated the French press coffee and mint tea lemonade.

spa offerings were nice and the place has a lot of charm. The bed was too soft (hurt my back) and the staff was a little frazzled -- there's just one person running back and forth from the office to helping guests and it was a bit harried. Breakfast could have been better as well...just ok.

Moroccan theme is well done in the rooms and around the property. Enjoyed the 2 good size pools, one outside, one enclosed hot pool. The hot mineral spring pools are the main reason we stayed here. Breakfast provided was satisfying and convenient. It’s a gem in a city that’s had better days.

El Morraco is a perfect place to escape too for a relaxing quiet weekend. You can lounge around the pool reading a book or pop in some ear buds to listen to music. There's a few hammocks and seating areas to relax in as well. The hot spring tub is AMAZING! Spa services are also available. The complimentary mint tea lemonade and ice water are both delicious and refreshing. You can even enjoy watching Casablanca 24/7. Honestly if you are looking to just escape from the hustle and bustle of busy life El Moracco will not disappoint. I look forward to visiting El Morraco again.

Beautiful property! Loved the theme, the decor, the relaxing atmosphere, and how quiet it is. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. The free water, coffee, and lemonade were such nice touches, especially during this excessive heat. The pool and hot tub were both so relaxing and peaceful. Loved all the cool lounge areas and the personal DVD collection and ability to watch whatever you'd like to in your rooms was cool too. We did not partake in any of the spa treatments, but I imagine they are nice too. The hotel staff was super helpful and let us check in way early because we didn't want to leave our luggage in the car. So thankful for a beautiful stay!

The pool area was very nice and inviting. The staff especially Debbie was extremely nice. The room smelled of humidity, the door and plumbing need fixing. The breakfast was a JOKE. The Expedia photos showed a beautiful Continental breakfast. This is not TRUE. The breakfast choices were substandard. Cheap tasteless coffee, pastries, yogurts. In my book this is called false advertisement.

This is a great property, it is clean and well taken care of. The staff is helpful, polite and professional. We have stayed here before and it is a great place. We will definitely be back! The only down side which I didn’t reflect in my rating was the breakfast. This use to have a fantastic continental breakfast with fruit and many options. It is now a cheap sack lunch/breakfast. I was told it was changed during Covid. I see this as a higher end niche spa / resort. The breakfast is what you would expect in a Motel 8. They could do better. Like I said we will be back, but I’ll pack some breakfast food and find a place to eat off property.

It was small, quiet and a great place to relax. Mineral pool and hot tub were amazing. Beautiful decor in and out of the room. City of Desert Hot Springs is a but run down but 69i can always go into Palm Springs to eat and then come back to this quaint and little gem of a hotel. Massage treatments are also great!
