Time Out "The Palm Springs Ace Hotel, housed in what was once a Motel 6, is the party destination for hip young travelers heading to the desert." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Rather than the usual Rat Pack retro or duffer chic, this hip oasis is a slightly rugged desert escape. David Hockney, eat your heart out." Full review
Fodor's "With the hotel's vintage feel and hippie-chic decor, it would be no surprise to find the Grateful Dead playing in the bar." Full review
