Although I always do my usual research before deciding on my (well earned ) two weeks vacation,up until now I have never bothered to note down my findings for others, if they so wish,to peruse and perhaps use the comments in a similar way. The hosts of the old ranch inn keep such a welcoming and hospitable accommodation that I feel I must add my own two pennys worth .
The inn itself is in a prime location just off the main street with easy access to the many restaurants thereon. Looking in the opposite direction is a range of mountains that on a clear day (it always is) you feel you can reach out and touch
Our room was immaculately clean with a massive bed that always suprises us Brits when we come to America. So many king size beds and never a King. With only eight apartments there was a real friendly atmosphere and it literally is only two steps from your room to the pool. Larry and Ed, keepers of this fine hostelry couldn't have been more helpful in planning our itinery that being said we were left alone to soak up the sun and enjoy our week. We would recommend the Old Ranch Inn and if God willing we go back to Palm Springs we would certainly return here.

“Great place”

Old Ranch Inn

Jul 6, 2008

We had a great 2 night stay here. Larry and Ed were great owners and nothing was too much trouble for them. The accomodation is very well maintained and very tasteful. Having the pool right outside your door is great and the whole place was so quiet and relaxing. Downtown is 3 blocks away. On our second nights stay we even had the whole place to ourselves as there were no other guests - fabulous!!!
A great place.

After getting married in glitzy Las Vegas, we drove to Palm Springs. It was worth the 5 hour drive (make sure you stop off at Peggy Sue's diner at 1 Ghost Town Road for a real 50's diner experience). The Old Ranch Inn is simply beautiful. The room that we stayed in was huge & set back from the pool and had everything you needed. The decor was beautiful and the bed was huge and so comfortable. The Old Ranch is a short walk away from the main street with a wide selection of restaurants and boutiques so perfectly appointed. We only stayed for 2 days - I wish it had been longer.

There was nothing better than having a late afternoon swim in the lovely pool watching the hummingbirds (& there were many)

The garden area was really beautiful and the smell of the jazmine amazing.

This is truly a special place - go see for yourselves.

“Great Weekend Getaway”

Old Ranch Inn

Jun 30, 2008

I was there to celebrate a birthday with four other good friends and we had a great time. The Inn was calming, pretty and the rooms very well decorated and comfortable. Larry made us feel very welcomed. Being outside by the pool in the late afternoon and evening was very relaxing. I would definitely come back.

This is a fabulous find! It's quiet, quaint & affordable. The bed was
so comfortable. Everything was very clean and well maintained. It's nice having a pool right outside your room and Ed & Larry (owners)
are very accomodating. They were great ! Downtown is just a short walk away. This is the place we want to stay at every time we're in Palm Springs. Thanks Ed & Larry for making our stay such a memorable one!:)
