The Monkey Tree Hotel by AvantStay

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

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.

Quirky property near the airport, excellent communication regarding check in etc which is all done electronically. Would stay again.

Great stay, extremely easy and virtual check-in process. Only stayed 1 night so I was unable to use the ameneties to the fullest but there is a nice clean pool area, and complimentary bikes. My only cons for my stay is that the walls are a bit on the thin side so you can hear planes from the airport and door closings from the neighbors, but I still slept great. That and the bathtub had some discoloration from age. probably just needs some extra TLC in that unit but I would definitely still stay here again. ALSO, biggest reson for me staying here was the EV chargers. One of the few properties I found that had one. There are 3 Tesla Only chargers, and one (hiding) normal EV charger (slow), but super convenient for overnight charging included in the stay.

It was an interesting place, no direct interaction with hotel staff everything was done through email and text. Room was clean and comfortable except the heater did not work as well as I liked. They seemed to be near the airport as in the morning we could hear planes coming over. They had a nice pool and hot tub. Arriving in the dark proved a little challenging as they have limited parking and wasn’t easy to spot.They have charging stations for EV’s.

This property advertised a completely different room than the one I stayed it. I paid extra for a "monkey" themed room, and was put in a standard room. They say Adults Only, but on the front door it says "family friendly". They tell you you MUST let them know if you check in after 6 PM, don't answer the phone, it's self-check in anyways. It is INFESTED with bugs. There were bugs on the ceiling, falling on the bed. All over the bed stand, on the headboard, in my luggage. I told the property and they said 'thanks for letting us know'. I was up all night killing their bugs, and had to place a lamp on the other side of the room to try and attract them away from the bed since they were pouring from the window above the bed. There are other cleanliness concerns like mold in the window in the bathroom, but itching all night from a variety of crawling and flying bugs taking over the room felt much worse.

This area is underneath the flight path of the Palm Springs airport. Not ideal. Room is clean though.

The hotel was nice. I wanted mid-century modern, and it was. I did not like that we didn’t get clean towels daily. The bathroom in #17 is not female friendly. Not enough room for makeup bag, and hair stuff. And I’m very basic with all of that. It is right in the airport flight pattern, so if that will bother you, beware. It didn’t bother us. The yard/pool common area is very nice. There is parking included, which is great. We did not have a problem getting a spot. The rooms all face the pool, so really not private if you want curtains open. However, with them all facing in, and a coded entry, we did feel comfortable enough to sleep with window open every night. It did get VERY windy at times. Overall a good experience.
