Our second stay at this dreamy mid-century gem. Perfectly located a short stroll from downtown. Decent-sized pool open 24/7. Sociable ambience, including poolside cocktails each evening. Free bike rental. Some thoughtful touches: fresh coffee every morning, complimentary soft drinks, vintage record player in rooms. Our only slight gripe was our room lacked natural light as it only had a window at the back. But this didn't detract from a very pleasant stay.

We love Orbit In. We have stayed here so many times that it feels like a second home. Everything about this property is perfect; the small size of this hotel is just right, the way that the rooms wrap around the pool, the way the lounge chairs are placed, the way the architecture comes alive at night.. perfection. The manager Brian really knows the hospitality business. He is so professional and takes his job very seriously yet somehow has the best personality and sense of humor! The ladies that service the rooms here are so good at what they do and are always working so hard to keep this hotel and the rooms SPOTLESS! Love the authentic mid-century vibe at this hotel.

The Orbit In is one of the most unique hotel's you can find. The caretaker, Brian, is extremely accommodating and very nice. The rooms are spacious and amazingly original. They have complimentary bikes you can use to pedal around downtown (which only a BLOCK away) or to the Art Museum (only TWO blocks away). And if you're not relaxed enough they have a daily poolside Orbit-ini Hour with free cocktails and retro music. I cannot get back to this place soon enough, and you would be lucky to stay here. The ONLY feedback I could possibly think of is to clean the pool a little more often. Thank you to the Orbit-In for a stay I won't soon forget! See you again soon.

This was the PERFECT Hotel for our small Family Reunion! We reserved ALL 9 of the rooms, so that we had the Entire Grounds and Amenities to ourselves, without having to share or worrying about disturbing any other guests. From the initial booking process (which we started a year in advance in order to secure All available rooms) to the very end on check out morning, it was FANTASTIC. The staff were Courteous, Kind and Professional at All times. The Rooms were meticulously clean, decorated and so cozy! The Bar Area was warm and welcoming to all attendees, boasting a daily stock of Keurig Coffee, various teas, oatmeal, granola, and a Large Fridge stocked with Yogurt, waters and soft drinks, at our disposal Daily. The pool was cleaned each day, and was plenty large enough for our group to enjoy, along with a warm jacuzzi There were also bikes to ride at our disposal. It was Three Days and Nights of Total, Complete FUN without hassle, hurry or Worry of any kind. I HIGHLY recommend this Palm Springs Getaway, whether you're a couple, or small group. It was walking distance to the main street where we were able to enjoy the Street Fare put on Every Thursday Evening. The Office Manager, Brian, deserves a Special "THANK YOU" for all his effort put forth ensuring my family had EVERYTHING they needed to make their stay Comfortable and Complete! Brian was very attentive and made himself available above and beyond the call of duty! We will Definitely be coming back! Thank You Orbit In Staff!

This was the second time I stayed here and it’s safe to say I’m a loyal visitor to Orbit In. This time, I came with my wife and we felt very welcomed and safe. I’m absolutely in love with the grounds, the energy and the rooms. I’ve stayed in the Rat Pack and the Leopard Room, both very special and super spacious. Everything is very authentic to the mid century era so not everyone will get it.. but if you’re a fan of mid century design, you will be in heaven! It’s clear that there is a high level of respect for the property and that is expected from the guests as well. It’s truly an escape from reality to come here and bliss out. Can’t wait to be back!
