Q. Going to Palm Springs but want to stay walking distance to shopping etc for under $100 a night. Can you recommend a nice property for a solo mom on a budget? Thanks!
A. I can tell you, but you can't tell a soul...
Andreas Hotel is a small hotel that's pretty cheap. You're right in the middle of town, which can be good and bad. Ask for a room towards the back, not facing Highway 111 (Indian Canyon Rd). The rooms facing the front are really noisy.
Just down the road in Rancho Mirage, the Hilton Garden Inn is even a little nicer, and also inexpensive, with a good location.
Have fun!

Which hotel do you like in Palm Springs?
Q. I'm trying to find a nice hotel in Palm springs but every hotel has good and bad reviews i don't know which to choose. I want something fairly new and modern and clean but not over $200. Which hotel would you reccomend for a couple in their 20's?
A. You really can't go wrong with any hotels located in Palm Springs. The Hyatt is located downtown and therefore right in the middle of everything... great views looking down on the strip. Honestly, just pick one of the least expensive, they will be in a fairly good area, as there are no "bad" areas of palm springs, try to stay downtown though. Make sure to take the tram up to San Jacinto! It's so much fun and it's like visiting a different world, so different than the desert below :) Have fun!
What to do for a relaxing bachelorette weekend in Palm Springs, CA?
Q. My friends and I are going to Palm Springs to celebrate a bachelorette weekend. However, places like Costas are not what we are looking for. A night club that is not so packed would be okay. Does anyone know of relaxing places or activities and possibly a descent, not so trendy, night club or bar to visit?
A. If you're going in the winter see a Palm Springs Follies Show. Essentially it's 70-90 year old former show girls and male professional dancers that put on a Las Vegas style show. It's surprisingly fun and the dancers could put most 20 year old's to shame.
Palm Canyon Drive is where the activity is in Palm Springs. Plenty of bars, restaurants and shopping. If you're driving in from Los Angeles stop into the Palm Springs Visitor Center. It's in what looks like a converted Mid-Century gas station. The people are really helpful with suggesting places to visit.
The only nightclubs I know of are for a gay clientele, although I'm sure nightclubs for straight people exist there. Palm Springs has as many old wealthy gay people as straight retirees.
There are plenty of straight bars in the swanky hotels and in the restaurants. You guys would probably like the Starlight Lounge, it's upscale and mellow.
Some of the remodeled Mid-Century motor hotels have cool poolside bar scenes. Check out the Hideaway, Orbit In, Desert Star (quiet, very nice), Del Marcos, Hotel California (Spanish mission architecture, cute), Ace Hotel (trendy) and the Movie Colony Hotel.
The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is worth a journey up the side of the mountain for much cooler weather.
