My wife and I have loved visiting the Orbit Inn. This year we had to cancel our reservation but the office failed to record our request. Imagine our surprise when we saw a $1255 charge on our credit card. The Orbit Inn's management team wasdeceitful and unwilling to acknowledge a simple miscommunication. Our warning to anyone wantingto spend a few days in Palm Springs. Please find another hotel.

Absolutely authentic mid-century modern enclave of peace and quiet. Genuine customer care and Orbitini Hour is the rage. Walking distance to all is the icing on the cake.

Outstanding hospitality, style and location. The hotel has original 1950s rooms, bar and pool all at the foot of a mountain surrounded by palm trees - it sets the perfect tone for a mid century themed getaway.My wife and I arrived just in time for Orbitini hour with the other guests, many of which have been repeat customers for years. It was the best hospitality experience we've had all vacation, we felt like we were being featured in a slim Aaron's photo!After cocktail hour it was a short walk to the bars and restaurants on the main street followed by an evening swim in the pool and soak in the jacuzzi back at the hotel. We'll definitely stay here again!

Sadly, we didn't get to stay here because a third party app double booked, but the front desk person was so nice and quick to accomodate us and set us up at a nearby property that we had to give 5 stars. Hope to come back and stay here at some point!

PARADISE! This place is still as wonderful as always. The new manager Robert is great. We loved Bill the previous manager but learned he moved on (don't assume the new owners let him go, not the case) and we enjoyed getting to know Robert. It's obvious that Robert cares about the hotel and about his position and he even noticed leaves on our patio when our gate was open and swept them up himself! POOL:The pool is very clean and well maintained. I observed the pool professionally serviced twice during our stay and every office employee personally skimmed the pool daily. Great layout around the pool with options for shade and the vibe is so RELAXING. This is not the hotel for a pool party, it is truly a replenishing and wonderful place to soak in the sun.AMMENITIES:Orbit In provides the use of beach cruisers, some with baskets for fun rides around town. There is a closet full of books and games to use by the pool or in your room. They have record players in every room and a vast library of vinyl to choose what you like. A sunscreen selection and bug spray is offered by the pool. They have a great poolside bar area where guests can make coffee or tea, a microwave for guests (which is great to hear up dinner left overs) as well as a nightly ORBITINI cocktail served to guests where you can get to know the other guests and socialize. And last but not least, a fridge full of sparkling water and soft drinks and yogurt for guests to enjoy. There are granola bars and instant oatmeal for snacks too!STAFF: The ladies that maintain this hotel do an AMAZING job and work their butts off in sweltering heat. Much credit is due to the ladies that keep Orbit In beautiful! Very nice too!This hotel is a GEM and it's great to see the new owners are not trying to change it. They are all only improving it. My husband and I love to watch movies in our room when it gets too hot and I learned they are upgrading TVs soon so that is wonderful. For those of you that have been here before and worry that new owners mean Orbit In will lose the things that make it special, don't. It's clear that the Orbit In remains in good hands!

Here's to a new tradition. Loved every relaxing moment of this modernistic desert oasis. Robert, the manager was beyond friendly, very helpful, and we really enjoyed his company. Nothing is overly fancy here but you have everything you need--most importantly peace and quiet. The Orbit In is tastefully decorated, it's very clean and there are nice little touches like snacks, a common fridge full of drinks, and a daily cocktail hour to chat with the guests. There's only 9 rooms here so you make friends fast. We met a couple who had been coming here for 20 years. Look forward to doing the same thing!

Cool, hip little boutique hotel with a 50's flare. Second time we have stayed here and love it. The 50's vibe is so cool. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The rooms and pool area are always clean. We love walking out of our room and being steps away from the pool. They don't allow personal music or partying by the pool, which keeps the riffraff out. They do play a little music on their speakers, but wish it was slightly louder so you could hear it. The mornings are nice grabbing breakfast at the outdoor bar. We love this place and will be back.

we went back to the orbit in for our summer 2023 trip to palm springs. we stayed there a couple times over the years but like to try out the boutique hotels in palm springs. it was great to be back. the new owner really seems to be trying to keep the experience the same. there's still the very important orbit-ini hour, records & games for entertainment, a clean pool & a quiet/relaxed vibe. this is not a party hotel & that's why we love it. there are 9 rooms so it doesn't get crazy there. we will definitely be going back next year. robert, the new manager, does a great job filling the big shoes that bill the old manager left behind. he is very knowledgeable of palm springs & has great stories to share. we had a great time! thanks orbit in.

We've been going to the Orbit In for over 10 years. I'm sad to report that our go-to getaway has completely changed - but not for the better. The previous owners (Kevin and Jinny) sold the hotel last year and now the terrific manager (Bill) has left as well. The new owners appear to be systematically deferring much needed maintenance, eliminating amenities and raising prices. All of this was apparent during our most recent stay in April. The Orbit In was a special place with great memories for us. Sadly, unless something changes, we will be looking for a new go-to in Palm Springs.

Can't comment on our stay because we didn't get to stay. I booked a room on booking.com & received a confirmation. Then I got a subsequent email saying we were booked for 0 nights for $0... so I called the hotel directly. Turns out the room was double booked & we got screwed out of our room. So disappointing.
