- ianfekete (10/5): Perfect serenity, great location. - We had never been to Palm Springs and this was the perfect choice. An oasis in the desert quite literally. Staff, rooms, amenities all fantastic quality. Lovely surroundings. Luxurious food and the best breakfast I've had at any hotel. The chocolate cookies were a must at the end of each day. 10/10.
- D7806FEmm (2/5): Poor - There were many reviews about their cookies. I called since it was 8:30 pm and we were 10 min away to see if we could order to go. Even though they clearly state on their website they close at 9 pm, the person that answered the phone stated since I’m not a guest and it’s past the 7:30 pm cutoff time for sit down (they don’t have to-go boxes), they cauld not accommodate me. So if you’re trying to get their “well known cookie” and you’re not a guest, be sure to make a reservation before 7:30 pm.
- pattimelt41 (10/5): Divine - Husband and I celebrated our anniversary at this lovely hotel. Everything was absolutely perfect. The food and service were so good that we ate every meal at the hotel. We usually like to explore and experience different restaurants; however we enjoyed our meals so much that we did not have a desire to leave. The grounds are wonderful. We each had a massage in the massage tent on property. We enjoyed our morning strolls in the adjacent mid century modern neighborhood. It is close to the arts district which has some great galleries and close to downtown. We had a garden room which was perfect. It was near the herb garden. We sat at the fire pit every night after dinner and met some nice people. Shout out to Dezi and all the other great employees. The included breakfast is wonderful as well. We will return.
- 89cljirea2 (10/5): Terrific stay - Sparrows Lodge is a gem. The space is beautiful and unique, and the staff is kind and attentive. The on-site restaurant is top notch, too!
- SouthernSojourner22 (10/5): Restful Retreat from the Winter Blues - My husband and I stayed at Sparrows Lodge after a work conference in San Diego. We were looking for a quiet, relaxing environment to recharge and get some sun before returning to the winter weather back home. We were blown away by the quality and value of our stay. The grounds were stunning and serene, the staff calm and hospitable, and the food was spectacular. We ended up extending a day due to weather back home and the staff was so accommodating and calm despite the uncertainty of our plans. Sparrows Lodge had all those little touches that made the whole experience one we will remember for a lifetime.
- k36tnlscmf (10/5): Sweetest Stay - From start to finish, absolutely wonderful. The little details of care and hospitality are plentiful and continued throughout our stay. We just kept saying how incredibly special this stay was. What a GEM!
- triplemills (10/5): The Best - This lodging is just truly a gem. Run, don't walk. The rooms are so charming and unique. Upon entering, we felt like we were receiving a big warm hug
- Paige (10/5): -
- dpmoore2025 (10/5): Best stay in Palm Springs - The Sparrows Lodge was quite simply one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. Not only because of the property itself, but the people who worked there. Everyone was top notch. Service was impeccable. Will absolutely be staying again!
- oxwf0tc8c4 (10/5): Relaxing stay! - We enjoyed one night for my birthday. We had dinner under the arbor outside and it was wonderful! The fire pit area and the many sitting areas was a treat. We enjoyed the breakfast in the morning ( yogurt, boiled eggs, banana bread, toasted bagels, fruit, tea and coffee and juice). We swam in the heated pool in the morning then took the hotel bikes for a spin behind the lodge and enjoyed the mid century homes! A part had been ordered for the outside hot tub but the tub in our room was big so we didn’t mind!Great stay! Can’t wait to return.
- ThorenOakenshield (10/5): Best boutique ever! - On our first visit to Palm Springs, we decided to try Sparrows Lodge and we're glad we did. From the welcome drink when we arrived to the gift of a package of sage when departed, the staff were friendly and first rate. Despite the rustic theme, the facilities are truly first class from the physical design featuring beautiful stonework everywhere to the toiletries in the bath. The best thing about our visit however was meeting the other guests who were an incredible collection of international and domestic travelers who all appreciated their opportunity to stay at Sparrows Lodge.

- todddavis2025 (10/5): Land at the Sparrows Lodge - Location! Service! Food and Drink! Comfortable and Clean room! Hotel Customer Service! A lovely quiet refuge! Don't miss it!
- Brita (9/5): Very relaxing and aesthetically beautiful - Lots of fun amenities and good breakfast. Loved the shower! Music playing on sound system in pool area
- 444lieslg (10/5): Oasis in the Desert - We were so fortunate to find this place thanks to dear friends. It helped me (an east coaster who had only been once before) to finally understand the lure of Palm Springs. Every detail was thoughtful and warmly executed. Great pool, lovely private and shared spaces, delicious food and drinks. The rooms were just phenomenal. I especially loved the great big shower and our own private hammock. It's a splurge, but if you are up for this price point, you won't be sorry with the choice. We hope to be back to Sparrows for sure.
- dsjohnson1947 (10/5): A Fabulous Get-Away - Sparrow's Lodge is a perfect place for a get-away: the pool, the firepits, the staff and the rooms - all terrific. We stayed in a very comfortable room with small, private garden seating in the back. Our mornings were our favorite times: delicious continental breakfast offerings in the Barn to take out to a couch on the main patio and enjoy the sunrise. Don't miss dinner at Sparrow's with tables under the trees (inside seating is available): the menu offers a good choice. I had the delicious John Dory and my husband had the lobster with angolotti - also delicious, he said. And the staff is top-notch: friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. Looking forward to a return trip sometime!
- Z8192VOkatherinel (10/5): Our favorite part of Palm Springs! - Cannot recommend Sparrows Lodge enough. We've been twice, and both times were so amazing. Will definitely be back. We love the atmosphere, the rooms are so calming and clean, and the proximity to downtown (we use the available bikes at Sparrows Lodge) is fantastic. Perfect for a quiet getaway!
- cskulkety (10/5): Overnight in Palm Springs - We really enjoyed our stay. The room was nice and cozy. We really enjoyed the rustic look and the rainfall shower. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was fantastic as well. This place has all of the bases covered.
- Catrin (10/5): - Relaxed atmosphere, great size room, lovely shower gel, good food, very helpful and friendly staff
- Chris (9/5): Highly enjoyable and relaxing - Our first time at the venue, it exceeded our expectations. Delightful, friendly staff. A great atmosphere. Relaxing and attractive surroundings. A well-judged and somewhat unique offering in Palm Springs. Nothing comes to mind.
- Frances (10/5): - We love this property because it really forces you to just relax, and that is exactly what we did!
- R5699KPrachelb (10/5): My Favorite Hotel, Period - I truly think that Sparrows Lodge is my platonic ideal of a hotel. It is beautiful, relaxed, casual, and luxurious all at the same time. The Staff is warm, laid-back, and incredibly thoughtful. Every detail is intentional and beautiful. This was our second stay, and it will not be our last.
- kdoe1 (10/5): Chill, Chic, Unpretentious, Romantic.... - Chill, unpretentious, chic, guests come first, great food on site, authentic and warm staff....This place is bomb. It's a beautifully reimagined property that's taken the charm of its 1950s origin and combined it with contemporary finishes. We've been several times and would highly recommend for a romantic couples escape. We're looking forward to returning and will continue to recommend to our friends.
- BowOfArtemis (10/5): A Spur of the Moment Stay! - After a change of plans, I booked a night here in on the day of, and what an incredible treat this turned out to be. I had an exceptionally good time, the staff were incredible and so kind, the food was unparalleled, and the location and amenities were top notch. I can't wait to come back here soon! Thank you all!
- shannonmH4316SR (10/5): Very cute boutique hotel. - The Sparrows Lodge has a calming, earthy vibe from the boho bedding to the rock and tile shower. The exterior featured lush plants, charming seating areas, and water fountains.
- Jason (10/5): - Lovely, rustic boutique in the heart of Palm Springs. Quiet nights under the desert sky, smores by the fire. Options for massage treatments. Pool and hot tub. Dining options available on site so you don’t even have to leave the property.
- Robert (10/5): Great place to stay and unwind in a very peaceful setting - Beautiful setting, tastefully decorated, excellent healthy menu, stylist without being obnoxious
- Daneen (10/5): Desert retreat - It’s hard to even call Sparrows Lodge a hotel. It is such a special and peaceful retreat. Every space, indoor and out was beautiful.
- Molly (10/5): Excellent service, relaxing atmosphere, and amazing food! - The property was both centralized and secluded. The grounds were well landscaped and tidy, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing and serene. 21 and over is a must - no children made the experience that much better overall. While I had planned to go out and explore more of the town, the hotel made it very enticing to just stay in and enjoy the space, as well as the delicious food at the Barn Kitchen onsite. The staff were attentive and friendly, I really could not have been happier. Can’t really think of anything to be honest!
- Tim (10/5): - Excellent hotel. Service was top notch and the property was impeccable
- shannonjbyrne (10/5): Amazing!!! - This place is charming and full of character while also being a beautiful, quiet and serene respite from the hustle and bustle of life. We adored our stay.
- Kelly (10/5): - Sparrow’s is a hidden gem. Familiar comfort, relaxation, perfection!
- Griselda (10/5): - Exceptional service!!
- sophie (9/5): Hôtel de charme. Personnel super accueillant. L'impression d'être dans une maison de famille. -
- Carlyn (10/5): - Sparrows Lodge is a total dream. I needed a little peace and quiet / a solo vacation. I booked a garden room for a few nights and couldn’t have asked for a better vibe. The lodge has a very low-key luxury, intimate feel to it. Food is amazing, pool was great (no loud music or obnoxious people), beds are super comfy, and the garden made for a perfect reading spot. Also, everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back :)
- Robert (9/5): -
- Mehdi (10/5): Incredible quiet little piece of paradise - The place was incredible, the breakfast was delicious, the meals for purchase were great as well and the staff was super helpful. It was the best retreat I had in Palm Springs. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the room was beautiful. Everything was made to feel cared. Honestly nothing
- jlongley2025 (10/5): Beautiful hideaway - This place gets it right in so many ways. We only stayed one night but it was so peaceful and such a beautiful location.
- Grant (10/5): - Love this place! Never fails to disappoint!
- Enrique (10/5): - Always clean and quiet
- alfredo (9/5): Great place to unwind and unplug. Rooms are a bit cramped with limited seating. The lodge was not - Cozy, comfortable, relaxing Open shower, limited seating area and a bit cramped. Limited parking.

- scouta356 (6/5): Don't Think I'd Return - Okay, this is the review I wish I had seen when I went to book this property... I am a well-traveled girl and I usually prefer luxury 5-star hotels (think Four Seasons), however my spouse wanted a different experience to celebrate his 50th birthday and opted to go to Palm Springs. I had a tough time choosing a room as the website doesn't show all the photos of the rooms (especially the bathroom) and it's difficult to know what is private/what isn't, etc. We ended up booking The Cabin - because it looked more private and set apart. It was removed from the pool (many of the other rooms had very little privacy - you can see right into them as you walk around the property) and was at the back of the property which was nice. The room itself left a bit to be desired. It was dark and there wasn't much lighting for nighttime. The floors are all stone and pebble, like many hotels in Palm Springs, and while it looks nice they are MISERABLE to walk on barefoot. (Especially the little pebbles.) Be sure you bring flip flops or slippers to walk around the room or you will regret it. I also was frustrated that the lighting didn't match - lots of different temperatures - and the one light over the bathroom sink was yellow, making makeup application absolutely miserable. Several were so dim that it was way too dark at night. The room was large and spacious - but had zero storage other than the closet. Absolutely nowhere to put makeup or folded clothes. Nowhere to hang a travel toiletry bag or hang a bathrobe. Nowhere to put anything. Who designs these rooms? Obviously not a woman who has 'stuff". It was overwhelming trying to navigate it all, especially since we were traveling for 9 days and had quite a bit with us. The hotel provided bathrobes and ours were worn and tattered - one had several holes in the sleeves. We didn't wear them. One of the biggest factors for us in booking this room was the private patio - which ended up being worthless. It was dirty and the little cozy bench with cushions shown in the photos was filthy - never wiped down or blown off. So, it was useless and we didn't spend any time outside on the patio. In addition, our 'private' patio was used as a thoroughfare for workers like palm tree trimmers to get to their vehicles at the back of the property so we didn't have privacy (and since the bathroom is open and has no door this was an issue). The bathroom is open to the room and the shower has no door - it's this large stone shower with a rain shower head probably 12 or 14 feet above you....and, it's miserable. Miserable, miserable, miserable. Water goes everywhere, and as a girl with very long hair who doesn't wash my hair daily it made it very uncomfortable trying to shower. I honestly thought about showering at the gym instead. Yes, I disliked it that much. And, the shower floor is filled, once again, with pebble stones that aren't the greatest underfoot. The toilet is in its own little room but didn't have AC vented into it so if you needed the toilet and privacy it was quite warm. They serve a little continental breakfast in The Barn each morning, but it was pretty worthless in my opinion. A weird menagerie of hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cantaloupe and random items - nothing filling. As a competitive athlete this wouldn't even begin to sustain me, so we had to seek breakfast out every day. The Barn also serves lunch and dinner, which has a limited menu but the food was delicious and well appointed. I highly recommend eating there for lunch, dinner, desert, snacks, etc. They will bring food to your room upon request and I enjoyed that as well. Our room had ZERO insulation or sound dampening. You could hear the room next to us talking - and they were not talking loudly. We were also next to the trash bins at the back of the property and had trash trucks beeping and dumping trash constantly. We also got to hear all of the workers dumping trash throughout the day and late night. Not fun. The room came with a decent sized Smeg refrigerator which was helpful as well as a microwave, but no dishwashing soap or any kind of kitchen items that would be helpful - more like a Hilton Garden Inn type of situation. I think, for me, the most frustrating thing was the time I spent trying to find a suitable place in Palm Springs for this special occasion and after finally settling on Sparrows the day before we left I received an email from them saying basically "Hey, don't expect much - we have paper thin walls and no amenities. It was a preemptive "don't complain, we are warning you about what to expect" email. I would've appreciated having that info on the website as it would've influenced my decision - It felt a bit like a bait and switch and I didn't appreciate that as a CEO of an advertising agency who appreciates truth and transparency. The staff at Sparrows was very nice but don't expect true service here. They said they would go around the pool every 15 minutes to check on you, get drink orders - but I never saw that in the 4 days I was there. They are kind when you are in The Barn and go in to eat, etc. - but don't ask for extras. When I asked for ice to fill my cooler (it was 110 and I wanted to take bottled water in a cooler for the day) one of the male workers acted like I was putting him out and asking for 1,000 dollars cash out of his pocket. Not cool. Overall, I liked where the property was (I enjoyed getting steps in the adjoining neighborhood and and actually met several nice people who live there) and the food during lunch/dinner was worthy of a mention - I would eat there again. The property offers some pretty areas for photos and the outside is well kept. The staff, overall, are very nice and friendly. But, it just was a miss in many other ways. If I had known what I know now I wouldn't have stayed or would have significantly lowered my expectations. I think having more photos of these rooms on the website and really, truly, relaying what to expect would go leaps and bounds. I am up for adventure - but I like to know what to expect - and I didn't expect what I saw at Sparrows. Lastly, when we checked out no one asked for our key. (It is a true key, not a swipe card). Thankfully, we were still in Palm Springs and had moved to Korakia - so we drove it back later that night when we realized we had it. When we dropped it off they just brushed it off and said "Thanks, yeah, we'll make sure you aren't charged the $100 lost key fee." That seemed VERY odd to me - why wouldn't they ask for the key when you check out? Most people aren't used to an old-school key these days and could easily forget it - especially if rushing to get to a flight. I found it, well, fitting given the entire experience.
- jillybean307 (10/5): Exactly what I hoped for - I’ve wanted to stay at Sparrows Lodge for a while now, and finally had the opportunity to stay there a few weeks ago. It did not disappoint. The grounds are gorgeous and I thought my room was so beautiful. It was such a relaxing, peaceful place with wonderful staff. Maybe I was just lucky, but the other guests were so nice as well. It was so nice to sit by the pool each afternoon and chat with other guests. My whole trip was such a treat, and I am already planning a trip back.
- Michelle (10/5): - Beautiful property, wonderful staff, and the breakfast was delicious. Very peaceful.
- Jonathan (10/5): Cool PS vibe - Amazing week chillin by the pool and eating great food
- Ellen (10/5): - Gorgeous, absolutely loved the property, the rooms, the food - all of it! We will be back ASAP :)
- jacquelineh843 (10/5): Perfect weekend getaway - A beautiful weekend getaway at the Sparrows Lodge. Lulu was a wonderful host as well as the rest of the amazing staff. We enjoyed mornings and afternoons lounging by the pool which felt perfect even during a summer heatwave. We will absolutely be back again soon when in need of an escape!
- Michael (10/5): - Very relaxing place overall.
- Lissa (10/5): - Simply perfect. Two night get away for my birthday. It was great.
- Alexandria (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sage (10/5): - The hotel is like walking into a hidden oasis. And the staff went above and beyond to make your experience absolutely perfect. They were funny, informative and made us feel at home. Thank you!
- valentine (2/5): - Well we booked it a month in advance on orbitz. Arrived at the hotel and sparrows says that because of a “software glitch” they did not have my reservation and the hotel is sold out and tough crap there is nothing they can do. Unbelievably bad service. Orbitz stepped up and booked us at the Parker which was fantastic and an upgrade from crap sparrows. Stay away, they don’t know what they are doing. They didn’t offer a dinner or discount for a return stay or anything.
- Theresa (10/5): - Loved this oasis! Highly recommend! Will go back for sure. The only reason I gave 4 stars to area around the property isn’t bc I couldn’t walk to fancy restaurants but they were super short uber away
- Sianhayes1 (10/5): A very special lodge for couples over 21 - A delight, quiet, small hotel. Everything was perfect for us, including the food that we ate at The Barn. Portion sizes of food were European size, which was great for us, as oversized portions do not suit us. Definitely, quality over quantity! The pool area is quiet, the rooms cool to relax in after warm Palm Spring days. Highly recommend!
- Viranda (10/5): - Amazing stay. Would definitely come back
- monais2016 (10/5): The Perfect Getaway - The Sparrows Lodge is our favorite place to get away. The sage and citrus scented air welcomes us into an oasis every time we visit. Most recently, we were warmly welcomed by Lulu for our 5th stay. The service is stellar, the food at the restaurant is incredible, the mist around the pool is refreshing, and you cannot beat the cozy vibes of the rustic rooms. While all the rooms are truly special, our last stay in the owner’s suite blew us away! I cannot say enough good things about this resort. We will be back soon and until then, we will wear our Sparrows Lodge hats and light our sage at home.
- Casey (10/5): - Adorable boutique hotel with friendly staff and unique vibe
- godwatcher (10/5): Incredible Service and thoughtful design really make this oasis stand out! - This was my second time at Sparrow's lodge, but not my last. Above all, the staff is really great, they are always nearby but never hovering. The facility is tranquil, but with just enough room for adults to have some casual fun. The pool and hot tub are a P.S. must and there's plenty of chaises for all. I love dining in the back garden area, and the menu is stacked! The location really feels like a perfect mid point between the bustle of Palm springs and the calm of the desert.
- Shawn (10/5): - This was our first time staying at the Sparrows Lodge and we will definitely be back. It is small, intimate and quiet with a wonderful staff, food and drinks. There are no TVs or phones so you need to be ready to relax. Some of the rooms could use a bit more insulation, but you can’t beat the location, the vibe and the atmosphere
- Tracy (10/5): - Dog friendly property this boutique hotel is one of the nicer options. We stayed at in quite some time. Lulu and her team were amazing!!! Five stars, our dog Jolie Rose is a big critic of hotels and she loved this place!!! can’t wait for our next visit!
- Dina (10/5): - Loved! Will be back!
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tom (4/5): - The facility decor, plants, art and lighting were very pleasant. As far as security a homeless person got in and the police took a long time to respond. The parking lot was not safe our car got hit booth days parked right in the front. $$ in damage. When i asked the general manager about the security camera's he stated that he could not share it due to others privacy. At a cost to my privacy at thousands of dollars. My insurance company will be submitting a claim against the property.
- Bridgetbyoung (10/5): Even better than I expected! - I think it is rare to find such a sublime combination of desirable qualities. I love boutique hotels for their unique amenities and intimate scale, the Sparrows Lodge is no exception. It feels homey, yet elevated. The setting is visually serene and unpretentious. The rooms have a soothing palette, great beds and sheets, lovely potions and robes ( I am seriously considering buying one). The bar and menu are thoughtfully curated. Don’t miss out on getting a massage! I had a 90 minute deep tissue massage with Steve and it was amazing (I’m serious. I am a massage snob). Great pool, attentive staff, good location. We will be back.
- Emily (10/5): If you are coming to the desert to escape life's chaos, this is the place for you! - I have celebrated a number of quiet birthdays here. Greeted warmly and discovered welcoming champagne and resort hats in the room. The grounds are bucolic and peaceful. The rooms have been updated. The interiors have been painted in a rustic whitewash (huge improvement over the exposed wood, which made the rooms feel quite dark). Each room boasts its own enclosed, private back patio. The fire pit adds a special charm to the communal area. The continental breakfast buffet is somewhat sparse, The only warm food option is bread and bagels, if you choose to toast them yourself. The coffee was good. Also, this place is intended for couples. If sharing with a plutonic friend, just be aware that the bathrooms are open to the room (except for the toilet), so privacy is minimal. We managed fine, but we'd stayed here before so we knew the layout.
- emasser (10/5): Girls quiet getaway - Sparrow's Lodge is an absolute gem. Such a quaint and quiet oasis. My sister and I stayed for a girl's getaway and we had the most wonderful time. From the design and style to the ambiance and hospitality, this is the best place I have ever had the opportunity to stay. The staff is outstanding, so kind and helpful. We also got massages in the massage tent, which were perfect. The pool was so lovely and quiet. They have wonderful lounge chairs for laying in the sun, they also have large umbrellas and lounge chairs in the shade. The food is so fresh and delicious. For breakfast, they have an amazing spread of goodies they put out in the morning. My sister and I enjoyed our breakfast in the front entry by the fire, highly recommend for the chilly mornings. We had lunch and dinner there as well. Such fresh salads that were very simple and so delicious. We also loved the chips and guacamole and the chicken salad sandwich. For dinner, the charcuterie board, the cucumber salad, and the burger were perfect. As a guest you don't have to make reservations for lunch, but you do have to make reservations for dinner. Definitely make sure you make those reservations. We sat at the table inside the barn, which was so lovely, but they have great seating outside near the fire that you will definitely want to enjoy. Another thing that we appreciated so much were all of the fresh flower arrangements. Everything about Sparrow's Lodge is just so lovely, I cannot speak highly enough about this wonderful place. My sister and I cannot wait to return with our husbands.
- Caitlyn (10/5): - This place is magic. Second year in a row and Alex and Jessica make you feel right at home. Perfect romantic getaway
- Wiktor (10/5): - Excellent place, cool energy, enjoyed our stay!
- PennyDavidi (10/5): Heavenly Oasis - This heavenly oasis may not be for you if you’re looking for a DJ pool scene, children splashing in the pool and a daily itinerary of activities. This is the place for you if you want to detach decompress and take in all the delicious smells of the gardens and fire pits. Tranquil and elegant. Loved everything about this place for our 3 night stay. Honestly needed a few more nights. The service is so down to earth. The rooms cozy. The food fresh and delicious. This boutique hotel made me fall in love with the dessert again. Thank you Alex and team for a wonderful experience
- brianrP5960FQ (10/5): Sparrows Lodge - we can't wait to return! - My wife and I could not have enjoyed our stay at Sparrows Lodge more. Beautiful grounds, accommodations and excellent staff. A definite feel of "comfortable - peaceful - luxury". Food and beverage was also outstanding. We can't wait to return to Sparrows Lodge
- JoAnn (6/5): Disappointed - I was waiting to post this as we were told the manager would be reaching out to us, but he hasn't yet. We were so looking forward to our two night stay here. The room was a little unexpected, more rustic and less chic for the price, and definitely could hear everything in the ajoining room and outside. Everything went fine until our last dinner when we waited for over an hour to receive our food. We ordered two manhattans at the bar and were told there was no vermouth so instead received a different cocktail that was overly sweet. We ordered a salad, which never came and two burgers, both of which were cold and overcooked. We expected more from this restaurant given the reviews and actually cancelled a dinner at a different place just to enjoy our last night at the hotel. We were comped our food and bev, but the evening was spoiled. Staff was very apologetic saying that there was just one person in the kitchen. They were clearly short staffed and inexperienced on a Monday night. Our check-in was great, however, and the staff at that time was very experienced and kind.
- davidbW3189YE (2/5): Beware booking with an online travel company - A word of warning if you book through an online travel site: we had a confirmed reservation through Agoda, and were notified that our reservation was cancelled by Sparrows Lodge. I contacted Sparrows Lodge and was told Agoda cancelled the reservation. THIS FINGERPOINTING WITH NOBODY OFFERING TO RESOLVE THE SCREWUP IS SO LAME!!! Wish I had the opportunity to stay there, one assumes when you make a reservation that is confirmed it will be honored…
- lisa (10/5): - I felt like I was coming home. Beautiful, quiet retreat. Fires always burning, healthy breakfast, welcoming staff, lovely grounds. A retreat.
- Christine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tracey (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lynne (8/5): - Lovely facility but you have to be in the right mindset for the rooms- feed troughs for bathtubs, open showers, high set sink- definitely not cosy or free of sharp edges. We were there when it was cold- staff was lovely and food was good- breakfast a little over- rated we paid a fair amount extra for hard boiled eggs rather weak coffee and cheese cubes - the gardens with lemon and orange trees and palms and pools are gorgeous- water features, fire pits. In the right mind set a superb place but luxury definitely is a little rough-
- Cathy (10/5): - The property was truly magical and highly recommend.
- 910timothyd (10/5): Farmhouse Chic - Very cute, intimate “farmhouse “ bed & breakfast. Guests must pass through an artsy first room to walk past the pool courtyard to the “barn” where the reception is located. The second courtyard had outdoor tables and chairs for dinner including a long table under a citrus arbor. The room was very spacious but the bathroom was a little too rustic. The parking here is challenging, exacerbated by the outdoor courtyard restaurant. Our dinner here was only okay, but the light breakfast was decent.
- E7929WRangelom (10/5): Perfect Palm Springs Getaway - This is our second stay here at Sparrow's Lodge and absolutely love our experience every time! The property is clean and well maintained; the rooms are very cozy and comfy; and the staff is most attentive. Oh, did I mention, they are dog friendly as well?! We love to sit by the fire after taking our pup for a walk around the neighborhood. Lastly, the food!! Just amazing - we have tried many different things on the menu and have loved every meal.
- marianne (10/5): - this is a magical place. It’s definitely a fantastic lifestyle. I love it so much. I went twice in two weeks from Los Angeles, Alex and Lulu are great! is Aro. they do everything to make you stay wonderful food is incredible. The chef a genius.
- Marilena (10/5): - Loved everything
- gregory (10/5): - One of the best boutique hotel experiences.
- marianne (10/5): - The people were very nice, especially Lulu
- Val1128 (10/5): This little place has it all! Loved it! - What a lovely stay!!! We got in late but were greeted in the Barn with a snack and drink and an upgrade to our room, which was a delight. We discovered our bed had a featherbed topper which meant we slept great. Loved the convenience of the morning breakfast, which was tasty and filling, and the loungers by the pool. We ate in the restaurant one night for dinner too, which was good as well! Would definitely stay here on a future visit to Palm Springs!
- Stephen (10/5): - A sanctuary
- Murray (10/5): - Perfect
- VolvanaWhite (10/5): Enjoy the Quiet - This was my fourth stay at Sparrows Lodge so you can easily assume that I am going to write a positive review. There is plenty to like about Sparrows from the friendly, gracious staff, the sparkling pool and hot tub, the immaculately clean rooms, the overall QUIET and relaxing mood of this small hotel, and solid restaurant offerings. Admittedly this might not be the place for your next bachelor/ette party but the Sparrows freely admit to that. And that's why I will return again. Thanks to all the staff and in particular to the staff member that found the shorts I left behind. Hope to see you again soon.
- Dawn (4/5): - The walls are so thin that you can hear everything! That means every single conversation while you are in your garden room and people are dining in the garden. You hear every single argument, bodily noise and conversation of your neighbors. The property is really stylish and cute but no amount of style can make up for not sleeping well.
- Maria (10/5): - So glad I booked here! It’s special! Staff is amazing. Food delicious. Bed is so comfortable. Design features are fun!
- Brian Edward (10/5): - Nice upscale property
- R3627YEkimberlyt (10/5): Serene location for a couples getaway - Sparrows Lodge was the perfect location for our getaway to Palm Springs. It is conveniently located in close proximity to the airport, downtown and the courses that we golfed at. Our room was steps away from the pool that had a relaxing, chill vibe as the Lodge is reserved for guests over the age of 21. The Barn Kitchen is the restaurant at Sparrows Lodge, the food was artistically presented in a charming courtyard setting. We enjoyed the S’mores by the fire at night and playing Backgammon. Our room was lovely and we appreciated the list of recommendations that we were given when we checked in. We would definitely like to return one day and have already recommended it to our friends!
- marylR3076CU (10/5): Peace and quiet in this crazy world - Sparrows Lodge is simply amazing and the perfect place to relax, breathe and find peace. The entire staff is caring and so kind. They truly extend the best of themselves to make one’s stay comfortable. From the beautiful gardens, the living room, the barn with its fantastic food, the serene pool and spa, our stay was perfect. As an added benefit, the amazing art collection, especially the photography books, was truly appreciated by both of us. We look forward to returning soon.
- 4gailh (10/5): Perfect! - Sparrow Lodge is quite simply perfect! The ambience is amazing and the staff could not work harder to ensure each guest has everything they need for a perfect vacation. Each member of the team genuinely greets you with a warmth rarely seen in hospitality. The outdoor garden area and fire pits are so special and make the end of each evening perfect. The property is unique and I cannot recommend, staying there highly enough.
