Palm Springs Condo (3/20 - 5/3/2022)
We stayed at this condo for almost 6 weeks. We are an older couple. We were told that the condo was on the first floor. Well it was on the 1st floor of this unit. But we had to walk down 24 steps to get to it. Normally not a problem but I had been having trouble with Sciatica. The stairs were a big issue.
We also had to walk up those 24 steps through the parking lot and down 60 steps to the closest pool. There are not firm hand rails at any of the steps. They have a chain suspended between poles which make it difficulted to hold on to when going up or down. Which is why we only went to the pool a couple of times. Very nice pool area but very difficult for us to get to.
The good stuff first. Great view from the deck. A bit of road noise but as traffic slowed down it was lovely. From inside the unit they had nice windows that should of looked out at the view but for some reason they had the glass frosted about half way up. No view when sitting down.
Now the not so good stuff, at least for us.
The furniture looks great in the pictures but way to low to the ground to be comfortable. The dinning room table could seat 6 though at no time were you allowed to have more than 4 people in the unit. No exceptions. But the table was very high and the chairs were very low. Impossible to eat at or really use for anything. There was also no outside table to eat at so it made it almost impossible to have a nice meal there. We borrowed a table from friends so that we had a place to sit and eat.
They have no cable in the unit though they did have WiFi. You could access several streaming apps but no local news unless you had an YouTube TV account. Lucky for us we had friends again that had it and let us use theirs while down there. But only the TV in the bedroom had it as a option. The one in the so called TV room did not. So if we wanted to watch live TV we had to be in the bedroom.
The guest bedroom had no lamp on the 1 nightstand but we went to a consignment shop and got one for 15.00 since we knew our guest would need it.
There were no side tables in either of the sitting rooms so no place to put a drink down except the floor or the coffee table which was not convenient from the couch. The master bedroom was okay, we had side tables but very small ones. There was an over head light you could control from the bed. But the bed was again very low to the floor so was difficult to get in and out of. Master bath was adequate but the electrical outlets only worked on one side which got a bit crowded. The guest bath was very tiny and have a very high bathtub edge you had to step over for the shower.
The kitchen was adequate but no blender, pitcher or decent cookware. The fridge leaked at the bottom whenever you used the external water dispenser.
There was a laundry room off the master with washer and dryer. They did leave some laundry detergent but only used it once because it was very cheap stuff and got nothing clean. Bought our own detergent, toilet paper and paper towels. Those they provided were unusable, kind of shredded in your hand.
The cleanliness of the unit was also questionable. I cleaned both the master bath and guest bath because they did not do a very good job. The outside deck and furniture also needed some cleaning. Now I know it can get very windy and dusty in that area so that is probably to be expected.
The location of the condo was good but in heavy traffic it could take you a while to get out onto 111 or Palm Canyon.
These units on built on the side of the hill just below the old Bob Hope house. There are 2 pools and 4 hot tubs. This unit is just not really close to either pool. The grounds seem to be well cared for. You do have to haul your garbage up to the parking lot by 7:00 Tuesday mornings. We would not of known this if we had not talked to the neighbors. Their "info book" in the condo said a diff...
