Bottom Line
Miracle Springs Hotel and Spa is a 110-room property about 20 minutes drive from downtown Palm Springs. The hotel is inexpensive and has some interesting features, like the mineral water pools and hot tubs filled from the venue’s on-site well. Other hotels offer natural spring water pools, but not many offer eight of them with 24/7 access at an affordable rate. The spa also gets high marks, the restaurant food is tasty, and the staff is accommodating. However, this hotel needs significant updating and more cleaning.

Scene
Little action in terms of surrounding area, but attractive landscaped pools on-site
The hotel's location, in the desert but near a town that could be called sketchy, is unsettling to some. The views are fine but nothing spectacular. The hotel needs a lot of work both in renovations (cracked walkways, chipped pool walls) and day-to-day cleaning (dirty carpets, moldy tiles, and sticky surfaces). The vibe here is that of an out-of-date pit stop for those who are on a budget but still want to check out Palm Springs. On the flip side, the pool area is the most appealing part of the property, with palm trees, a bar, and attractive landscaping. That's where you'll tend to find the families who stay here primarily for the size of the rooms.
Location
In an isolated desert area that's close to Palm Springs via car
Miracle Springs is isolated from a lot of other commercial activity, with a surrounding scrub desert area that isn’t particularly convenient or scenic. There’s almost nothing within walking distance except a restaurant or two, and some guests comment that they'd feel more comfortable if it were a gated property. On the upside, it's only 20 minutes by car to lively downtown Palm Springs, where there’s an assortment of dining and shopping options as well as outdoor activities.
Rooms
Basic rooms, with some spaces offering kitchenettes; general issues surrounding cleanliness
This property offers 110 rooms, some being suites and all having free Wi-Fi. There’s nothing fancy about these spaces, but the lower rates might temper expectations. Many rooms have mini-fridges and microwaves; others, a kitchenette. The hotel also has four off-site, three-bedroom vacation villas. The rooms on the main property need updating and many are dirty, with bugs and moldy tiles. You may want to ask for a room that doesn't overlook a pool, as it is open 24/7 and can get noisy late at night.
Features
Nosh, sip, get a massage, and dip at the full-service spa, with on-site mineral pools being the property's best asset
By far the biggest highlight of this hotel, aside from the affordable pricing, is the mineral water pools kept at various temperatures to suit different preferences. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property and there's an on-site "business center," which is really just a desk with a computer in the lobby. Capri Restaurant and Bar has fresh, tasty food and the full-service spa is relatively inexpensive compared to competing businesses. There's also an on-site lounge for a late night drink. Free parking is available too, as is shuttle service.
