Located right on the main drag, five minutes from everywhere. I love this place. The people who run it are friendly, kind, helpful, and went out of their way to make sure that I could get my things out of my vehicle and get me set up in my room. Super quiet , this is not a new motel. This place is a classic vintage mid century tucked into a beautiful space. Very clean , smells wonderful, all the little things you could ask for. The price was so great that I added an extra day. If you’re young and needy, this is not the place for you. If you appreciate the beauty and old motels, 50s pools, and quiet places close to everything in Palm Springs while saving a ton of money and your sanity this is the place for you.

After reading a lot reviews, decided to try this place out because of the amenities and price. Overall, its a motel level boutique hotel with great service and amenities. Checking in was a breeze! The lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful. A smooth process. The room was somewhat refreshed. The bathroom was for sure dated and the hot water did take some time to get hot. The bed was clean and comfortable and the AC worked just fine. Furniture was damaged with a couple stains but functioned in the room I was in. Walls are pretty thin so you can hear voices from other rooms or outside. This place was formerly the Knights Inn but has aged decently. The pool was nice but not heated. Jacuzzi was nice and hot. Had the pool/Jacuzzi to myself my entire stay. Parking is free and it's pet friendly. For the price and amenities and location, it's a hidden gem for sure. I'd stay here again based on the room I was in. Hope the Adara can upgrade more in each room.

Adara was a perfect spot to have a clean, affordable stay, centrally located with mountain views and close to Indian canyon. The kindness of Bela and the gentleman were the best part. She gave food recommendations, was helpful when I had a travel mishap, friendly and so very nice. Thank you for a genuine kind experience, I’ll be back! Kelly

I have stayed at this hotel between 5 and 10 times thus far over the last year and a half and it does not disappoint! The rooms have always been clean, the quietness is astounding (some days, even with the air off, you can't hear the outside world or your neighbors, which is wonderful), the management is nice and helpful, and the location is awesome (at the bend, by several popular restaurants and allowing for solid access to both downtown Palm Springs and Cathedral City). I highly recommend this hotel!

For what it is, thought it was a good experience. You’re not booking a room at a Marriott, so you need to go in with the right expectations. Having said that, our room was clean, the service was good, and it was the experience I was expecting. The one thing that my detracted for me was the AC was noisy, so when it kicked on throughout the night it typically woke me up, but the I’d turn over and go back to sleep. But again, for the price, and that I like supporting local business, it was money well spent!

My dad was in the hospital for 7 days and sleeping in the lobby was not fun. I found this motel and it was just what we needed. Two full size beds, AC, clean, quiet, with a spectacular view to the beautiful mountains. The owner was kind enough to give us a discount for our Saturday stay and I am grateful for it. I am planning a weekend trip to see more of Palm Springs and will definitely stay at Adara Motel.

Rooms were neat and clean and decorated in a contemporary way. It's good value for money, given it's a two star hotel. Note fir in summer: there was only air-conditioning in the main sleeping area, not in the sitting area or bathroom. Pool and spa were decent, and definitely had the 60s Palm Springs ambiance

I stayed at the Adara Hotel on New Year's Eve. I was on a girls' road trip with my daughter. The hotel was brightly colored . It had that nostalgic Palm springs old hollywood look outside, but the rooms were modern. Our room was neat and clean. The owners Bella and her husband were professional but added that personal touch to our stay. The pool area was cute and gave us a great view of the mountain. All in all, I had a great experience at this charming boutique hotel. I definitely recommend it to visitors looking to stay in Palm Springs for a great price at a great location .
