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

We enjoyed our stay. Room was clean, pool area is relaxing. Hotel has a hip vibe. Tesla charging was awesome!

There is a great pool and hot tub for relaxing swimming. The location was quiet and close enough to downtown that it was never more than a short drive to go anywhere, plus many convenient places in the immediate area too. The only thing I would change would be the door touchpad entry. I would have preferred physical buttons or a key.

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.

After I had arrived at Monkey Tree Wednesday March 22nd (for 3 day stay) l, I sat on the couch to relax. However, when I sat down, the couch sank very close to the floor. I had to crawl my way to getting off the floor. As I was getting back on my feet, I hurt my knee. This couch and matching chair was not safe for me to habitat there. Also, there was a matching set of bar stools with a table. I am unable to get up and balance on the bar stools. My ankle does not bend & have little ability to move. As stated in my request to have accommodations since I have a fused left ankle, there was no furniture except for the bed to sit on. Immediately I contacted the property. I reminded them I had inputed about my physical limitations when I made the reservation. They said there was nothing they could do to help me. Without any success, I called ******* Customer Service. All I received was a recording that the office was on holiday. You advertised that "As a customer, I could get help 24/7." This was not the case. According the ADA regulations, I am suppose to get accommodations for my disability. So, I had to find accommodations elsewhere to address my disability. I require a full refund due to not fulfilling accommodations as I had originally requested.

Enjoyed the easy access and environment for the most part. The sauna was an amazing touch too. Though the premise was peaceful and quiet, walls are very thin and neighbors were a little loud. In addition, WiFi was very poor. Also the a/c and heat made a noise that was disruptive so we didn’t use it which was a bummer. Good stay for the price but just a couple of misses.

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

Stayed there Wednesday, March 6th. Place had no power that night. The facility itself was decent though, rooms are a good size and it’s quiet.

We really loved our stay. Amazing hip little property. Could use a microwave in the room. And could use better cleaning. Our patio furniture was caked in dust and very dirty. Other areas of room/property also needed more cleaning. The giant tub in our room and large windows were awesome. Bed very comfortable. We would definitely stay again.
