Location, amenities, rooms and atmosphere for the perfect low key mid century escape in Palm Springs. Elaine, Jade and Bill are wonderful. The daily orbitini happy hour is a great way to unwind, relax and get to know other guests. A gem and we will be back.

We stayed two nights and it was terrific. Highly recommend staying. Having just stayed in a hotel in LA that had hidden charges everywhere it was a great to have so many treats available and as Elaine makes it very clear - they are all included. Great happy hour - we had a blast chatting with the other guests about... More

We wanted our first trip to Palm Springs to be memorable, and that started with the accommodations. Was it possible that the Orbit In would live up to all the multi-star reviews it received here? The answer is YES! The rooms are clean and well-maintained, and intimate without feeling small. Even if the "retro look" is not your thing, you'll... More

We absolutely loved everything about the Orbit In. We stayed in the Albert Frey room with its outdoor shower and beautifully restored retro furnishings. We listened to music on a record player, borrowing records from the office. Bill and Elaine so very friendly, nice and helpful. The owners, Kevin & Jinny were also very nice and helpful. All the staff... More

My wife and I just returned from a weekend at the Orbit In. We are big fans of the "Tennis Club" area because of the easy walk to everything on Palm Canyon. We had toured the property a couple years back and finally got the chance to stay. It was great! Bill and Elaine are super gracious hosts and all... More

My wife and I enjoyed the atmosphere and decor of this place. It allows you to relive the 50s and 60s again. The owners are wonderful. They go out of their way to make your stay very pleasant and comfortable. The service and cleanliness are great. We will definitely come back again.

We stayed 1 full week in the Eames room. My husband chose Palm Springs for the design and architecture. This was our first stay at a small boutique type place and I was worried that I'd be bored. Far from it. The hospitality, quality of service, room space/views and location are truly excellent. The unique complimentary touches were a hit... More
